Lights Out Texas organizers ask that residents, building managers and businesses turn off their outdoor lights from 11 p.m. till 6 a.m. from Aug. 15 to Nov. 30 to prevent bird deaths. Outdoor lighting distracts and confuses migrating birds who typically fly at night.
Peak fall migration season is Sept. 5 to Oct. 29.
Visiting exhibit features talking animatronic members of the Bug Squad. Guests will learn about each of their superhero stories, super abilities and the unique traits they use each day.
Families are invited to explore various science topics and gain an appreciation for diversity through hands-on exhibits and play areas. Get some air on a trampoline and jump like a grasshopper, explore a multi-platform ant colony climber, and even play with color to mix and design your own wing pattern.
