We're getting ready for another season of Flashlight Nights! We all know how hot it gets during summer days, so we offer these guided night hikes as a way to still get outside and enjoy the amazing wildlife found at Quinta Mazatlan once the sun goes down. Guests will join our team of naturalists as they search for spiders, scorpions, toads, owls, listen for bats with our bat detectors, and more! We offer Flashlight Nights every Tuesday, June - August. Due to popular request, we're offering adult-only tours the first Tuesday of the month, but all the rest are open to all ages! This program requires advance registration via Ticketleap (link included below). Hope you'll join us for another season of night explorations of Quinta Mazatlan - don't forget to bring a flashlight! events.ticketleap.com/events/quintamazatlan
