Event details

Experience Riverview Farmstead like never before. First paddle the DuPage River as we float into twilight catching the first sights and sounds of the wild nightlife. Then we will venture on land to the Riverview barn to discover more about bat diversity and reveal who is flying around overhead using bat-vocalization detecting equipment. End the night by a cozy fire and roast hotdogs and smores for a late-night treat.
