1200 Congress AveMarch-mid November head out before sunset to watch tons of Mexican free tail bats emerge from the underside of e Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge. They usually emerge about 20 minutes before sun down. The walkway on the east side of the Congress Avenue bridge offers the best vantage point for watching the bats emerge and fly eastward over Lady Bird Lake. The hillside below the bridge is a little more kid-friendly since you can spread out a blanket and even have a picnic while you wait. You can check this website for general emergence time...
