Australian Premiere
Please note that Bat Night Market will be open from 10am on Saturday 18 April.
Step into a night market of the future, where science, creativity and imagination collide.
Bat Night Market tells the tales of the extraordinary bat species, highlighting their vital role in our global ecosystem and why their conservation is more crucial than ever.
Set in an imagined night market where bat species are extinct, Bat Night Market explores what interspecies resourcefulness and creative food solutions might look like, in the not-so-distant future.
We invite visitors to celebrate these enigmatic animals, in a free, self-led experience that blends science, art and innovation.
