View the Fort Flagler Batteries in a New Light
There are currently no future events scheduled.
Discover how the historic gun emplacements are slowly turning into caves by learning to view your surroundings in a new way! Ages 8+
Have you explored the batteries, or concrete gun emplacements, at Fort Flagler? If so, you've never experienced them like this before! Come explore the batteries in a "new light" with an Interpretive Ranger. Learn how to view your surroundings in a new way to reveal the transformation of historic gun emplacements to caves, that now serve as homes for wildlife!
This program is for ages 8+ due to the nature of the tour. The batteries are very dark and have a strong echo. The theme of the tour has been designed for older kids and adults.
Accessibility: Batteries (gun emplacements) have stairs- some with railings and some without railings. The tour will mostly take place on the lower level of the batteries, so stairs are unavoidable.
Reminder: A Discover Pass is needed at this park.
*Notice: Due to weather, we decided to cancel the tour on Saturday 10/19/2024 as of 1:25 p.m. This tour is weather dependent, so keep an eye on the events calendar for updates.
