We went here March 4th 2008, we soon found out that the caves were being remodled, everything that was inside was now outside. I was told that stollers were not allowed in the caves at all. It seemed like it took us an hr to finally get to the point to enter the caves after walking what seem like a mile. I have been to the cave many times before ...

Amazing
By Peter K, 08/27/07
Unbelievable, just go. One specific tip though is that pick your visit time carefully if you like to walk briskly. The 1 or 2 trails in the cave are narrow and most people walk as if they'd been suddenly transported to another planet, which is pretty much the case. Anyhow I planned to go through several times not like jogging or anything but, ...

We loved it with one exception
By rocknroehl, 08/04/07
This is a terrific place to see! We highly recommend the bat flight, walking down the natural entrance and going through the Big Room.
We also took the Left Hand Tunnel tour. Their description says it is a lantern-lit tour, the guide will highlight Carlsbad Cavern history, formations, cave pools and Permian-age fossils. Well... it was ...

Don't miss

the bat flight, one of the most amazing sights of nature I've ever witnessed. And if you're physically up to the challenge, take the lower cave tour. Three hours of hiking through, around, and under the most amazing rock formations you will ever see. Book early, as they only take twelve people once a day. My husband and I still can't believe we did it!

Carlsbad Caverns 2006
By Leslie S, 07/27/06
You need to go see the bats leave the cave around 7-7:45pm (Free) This is a very large cave and has a "Moon rock" feeling to it. I have been her 3 times in 30 years and it seems dryer and more brown gray each time. We went to Karcher Caverns in Arizona on this trip also. My children liked Carlsbad more because of the size. I liked ...

Great Caverns!
By Tarabeara, 07/09/06
I had never been to caverns before. This was great to see. I took plenty of pics. Taking the elevator down was an experience. It made my ears pop and you could see how many feet you were going down. Altogether it was 750 feet below the main surface. I know that it is also gorgeous outside the caverns.

Don't miss the Bat Flight!!
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 03/11/05
Carlsbad Caverns is one of the most spectacular sites you can visit any where. There are several tour options. You can walk down through the natural opening or take an elevator down. If you visit in the summer, don't miss the nightly bat flight program. It is incredible! To see thousands of Mexican Free-tailed Bats emerge from the caverns ...
