Free Presidio Night Walk: Meet Nocturnal Creatures (SF)

Friday, April 17, 2026 - 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm | Cost: FREE*
*Registration Required

Presidio Visitor Center | 105 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA

Event Details

Ever been curious about what creatures are active starting around sunset and into the night?  We are! Join the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy for a night walk to learn about the local wildlife that you can hear or see at night in The Presidio. We’ll enjoy an easy evening walk to find out what might be making that noise over there or may have flew over our heads unaware. We will be joined by naturalists who have a lot of knowledge about the nighttime wildlife so they can share what they know of the creatures that thrive in the night!

We will meet between the Presidio Visitor Center and the Presidio Transit Center then journey into the Tennessee Hollow Watershed for an easy walk of up to 2 miles.

Please bring your own flashlight / head lamp, and we’ll have some on hand, as well.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
