We have seen so many caves - Missouri, South Dakota, Kentucky, New Mexico... THIS one gives you information and an opportunity to see many of the formations in the others...all in one place! We were there too early to see the bat flights - that is our only regret! The recording was repetitive if you do both the self-walk down... More

My wife and I just got back from our trip thru Texas. We went out of our way a bit to go to Carlsbad Caverns and are we glad. It was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend that you take the natural entrance into the Big room. We are both in our early 60's and had no problems... More

Unlike anything you've seen before. Thats me on the bottom right to give you a sense of how big.If you walk down, I suggest comfortable shows, bottle of water, and stop at the restroom before heading down. Really amazing to see.

Its great to get down here on a hot summer day. We got here too early for the Bat events and will want to come back for that. Do take the audio tour it gives a lot of background on the caverns.

We spent almost 4 hours down there and we could have continued if we did not have a lot of driving ahead of us. The formations are beautiful and there is a variety... More

This was our first trip to the caverns. We have been to other cave sights but this is spectacular. The room is huge and has many different areas, formations to look at. I have a bad hip and find fit difficult to walk, but here they have made it very easy. There is a paved walk with rails on both... More

Not just the Big Room, the whole caverns are are great. You should definitely book the guided tour of the King's Hall too. General admission is 6$, free when you have a National Park Pass, the guided tour an additional 8$, but it's so worth it because you get to see beautiful parts you wouldn't otherwise, plus you get some...

This was really cool. Still hard to understand the size of the cavern. It is huge. Plenty to see and a good walking path to take you around to see it.
