By the lake across from the bat houses, is the best place to see them fly, but from there you can't see them exit the houses. Be careful of Alligators at the lake. Sometimes they come up on the bank. Watch the child closely if you stand there.
We've never been pooped on, thankfully. Anywhere along the fence line works.
We enjoy watching the bats under the tree that is closest to the parking lot.
There are benches you can sit on.
