The University of Florida Bat Houses are the world's largest occupied bat houses with an estimated population of 500,000. The structures are located on the north side of Museum Road between Village Drive and Radio Road across from Lake Alice on the UF campus. Parking is available in a lot just west of the houses near Radio Road or across Museum Road near the Baughman Center. A UF parking decal is required Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m. Parking is free after 4:30 p.m. weekdays, and on weekends and state holidays. The bats normally emerge 10 to 15 minutes after sunset before total darkness when temperatures are 65 F or higher. High winds, heavy rain or cold temperatures will keep the bats inside for the evening. On warm winter evenings, the bats may come out for a drink of water at the lake and exercise; however they can eat only when bugs are flying.

Building on the success of real-life escape room games, UFO VIDEO is an immersive, replayable escape game that allows teams to improve their skills across multiple visits. We currently offer two different game modes - UFOS ARE REAL and The Illuminati Box. In UFOS ARE REAL, 2-6 players have 60 minutes to finish a complex VHS puzzle hunt in our authentic 1990's video rental store - follow clues hidden on each tape to unlock an additional 20-minute bonus round! Loosely based on the world famous Taman Shud Case (or Somerton Man), The Illuminati Box is a challenging 90 minute cryptography game for 2-6 players. Difficult but rewarding, this game's mystery is only surpassed by its enigmatic nature. Formerly known as Mystery Bros. Escape Rooms, UFO VIDEO specializes in developing new and original real-life games with retro technology. Our games are all family friendly, but may be difficult or confusing for players under 12.
