Why it's worth checking out
The Fruit Bat Colony sits on Park Avenue in Parramatta, the major hub in Sydney's greater west, within Parramatta Park. A near-perfect 4.9 rating from 26 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a genuinely fascinating wildlife encounter — a colony of flying foxes (fruit bats) roosting in the trees, a remarkable and memorable natural spectacle, especially at dusk when they take flight, in the lovely Parramatta Park. It's a wonderful, free outing.
Wildlife colonies are best viewed respectfully and from a distance, and the experience varies with the season and time of day, so check current details before you go. Bring water, sun protection and take your time observing the natural surrounds.
