General Tips: Purchasing Tickets and Finding Information

Favorite Thing: When you arrive at the cavern you will enter the Visitor Center area. Here you will find displays and short films to watch which will give you information about the cave, its history, and its formations. This is also the place where you will purchase your tickets for the various tours. If possible I would recommend that you call ahead to make reservations for the various guided tours in advance. We did not have a set date for our arrival, so on our first day in the Carlsbad area we reserved all the tours we wanted to do. Luckily we were able to get all the tours we wanted, but we had to stay in the area for 10 days to do so. If it had been a busier time of the year, it is very unlikely that we could have gotten our desired guided tours.
Also if you have very young children please be aware that no baby strollers are allowed in the cave because parts of the trails are steep and narrow. Use a baby backpack if you need to carry your child.
You may write for information and pamphlets, but plan on four to six weeks for the information to arrive, depending on the time of year you request it. To receive your information quicker, make your request by phone, rather than writing.

Amazing page of Carlsbad Caverns NP. I saw that bat flights at the Mulu National Park in Sarawak, Malaysia. The bats are incredible mammals adapted to living in the caves and hunting at night. | corcatk Wed Jul 11, 2007 23:49 UTC
Thanks for all the great information & pics. We are thinking of taking a trip there next year, we're hoping to see the bat flight. | atufft Sun Apr 22, 2007 08:17 UTC
Nice work again Anne. I need to take my significant other on these tours. The last time I did this, I barely passed the minimum age requirement. | nickandchris Sun Feb 5, 2006 22:53 UTC
Absolutely stupendous.!!! What fantastic photos and tremendous information here. I'd love to see this one day, perhaps without the tourists...... |
