and for one food at the bottom of the cave is kinda over priced, so id just eat before going into the cave. and one very good recommendation is, make sure the elevators are working before u go, or u will be hiking back up.
Loving all your guides and New Mexico is really amazing. You're making us (for those abroad) put that place on our to-do! The caverns are truly fantastic!
Been there a few years ago. Didn't go into the cave, however seeing the bats leave was amazing. Also to note the road that travels through the park is great keep your eyes out for abundant wildlife
YAY! I was hoping that you were going to cover the cave when you published your last video and made reference to the distance to Carlsbad. It's such a unique cave experience in that you can explore at your own pace and not have to worry about keeping up with a tour (a vlogging nightmare, right? 😅). You know, I don't think the snack bar was open during our trip out there either. I wonder if it is a temporary casualty of the pandemic?
My wife and I have gone thru these caverns a total of three times. This was way back in the early '60's. I was stationed at Roswell while in the Air Force. At that time they had pretty much the same program that they have in your video.Myself, I enjoyed the walk down to the big room as much as i did the big room tour itself. Will have to say that seemed like we saw something a little different each time we went thru. The only thing I could see that different was the lunch room in the big room. It was only a box lunch and always little on the stale side to me. Also stayed one time for the bat flight. That proved to be quite educational and fun to experience.
it was cool back in the 80s and 90s with hardly anyone there, last time went was 2011 and it was crowded hell. I don't even want to imagine how it is now.
Si! Children absolutely can enter! It's a long walk down but paved, if you think it might be too long to carry or stroll your 2 year old you can take the elevator down and stroll them around at the bottom. The kids will love it!!!
We would love to visit here some day! I am glad there is an elevator in the caverns. I think we could make the hike down and walk around the Big Room. But I am not sure we would be up for hiking back up to the top. Glad to know we have a more leisurely ride back up. These caverns look stunning. Thanks for sharing these tips!
I dont know anyone that would hike back up! Theres another trail over a mile long down at the bottom. I was really tired by the end but it is truly magical!!
My parents and I and my brother went to this cavern back in the early 70's. It was not all commercialized at all like it is now. No gift shops, restaurants or any thing. I was 10 or 11 at the time. We did see the bats also. Before they opened it up to tourists, it was just a hole in the ground, about 3 or 4 feet in diameter. Wow it sure has changed.
This is a GREAT video! Thank you so much or this! We will be there on dec 26 2022. After arriving in Albuquerque in the am of Christmas, on the 26th, early, start from Albuquerque and make a day driving and visiting Roswell along the way, so by the time we get there the park will be closed. So we will begin our Journey at the park on the 27th. What do you recommend we can do on the evening hours of the 26th?
Seems we all agree. A great, informative video on New Mexico and all there is to see. I was at Roswell for the Annular Eclipse and it was great. Thanks for sharing and continued great travels down the road.
Carlsbad Caverns National Park was one of my favorite family vacations as a child. Oddly, we never took the girls, and Bill has never been. I discovered I love visiting caves. When we went to Guadalupe I tried to talk Bill into going, but he said maybe next time. Great tips and good to know. I wonder if they let you know on their website if the snack bar is open. The bats are so cool. You make me want to go back so bad. I do remember the Big Room, and some of the other features, but I feel like I've forgotten so much. Doesn't look like White City can house all the visitors that Carlsbad gets in a year; especially in the summer.
I'm pretty sure most people stay in the town of Carlsbad. The caverns are so magical, no matter what age! I'm not sure what was going on with the snack bar. I checked the website, and it didn't match the published hours. Thanks so much for watching!
I’m not 100% sure you can take stroller the entire way- but it is paved. I know you can elevator down and there is a path down in the cavern that you could take strollers or wheel chairs. I’m just not sure if you can walk down the natural entrance with strollers. Its just steep but it is paved
Great video! I am embarrassed to say I have never been to the Caverns. I have lived in New Mexico my whole life and need to make the trip. Keep up the great work. You're approaching 1K quickly.

The camera just isn't capable of showing the awe inspiring vastness and beauty of the caverns. So beautiful!
I absolutely agree!!!
I've been several times as a kid. I'm taking my son and his girlfriend this summer. Where do you recommend we stay nearby?
We stayed in the Fairfield inn in Carlsbad it was nice but still a little drive to the park. Enjoy!!!

Good advice!

I wondered the same especially since the website said it would be open 🤷♀️we were hungry! 😂😂
I was there in the 70's. It doesn't look much different. I GOTTA do this again!! 😁
Yes!! Its still amazing!!!
How far is white sands from Carlsbad?
About 3 hours, 181 miles- It’s a big state!
I love this place. We went just before 2020.
I’m assuming they didn’t have the reservation system then? Its such a cool place!! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for sharing!! It seems like the formations aren’t as sparkly as I remember in the past. Other than that it still endures!😀
They used to serve hot food.
Great video! I never had heard of this place but it looks amazing. -Anthony
Thanks!!! I grew up in NM so I take it for granted- I thought everyone knew about Carlsbad caverns! 😂😂
Great guide, I would like to see this place, looks absolutely huge inside 🤯
It’s unbelievable!
We just need to know how to register the website sucks
it was cool back in the 80s and 90s with hardly anyone there, last time went was 2011 and it was crowded hell. I don't even want to imagine how it is now.
it was definitely better then, I think the formations were more white and sparkly back then too
Beautiful cave and nice Vlog . Thank you for sharing. 😊👍🏻👍🏻have a great day. Greetings from Japan 🇯🇵
Thank you!

Thank you for your video and tips. I hope to finally get to Carlsbad Caverns this spring (2023).
Excellent! You are most welcome!

What do you recommend we can do on the evening hours of the 26th?
Maybe Christmas on the Pecos? A holiday display on the river in the town of Carlsbad www.christmasonthepecos.com/
And thank you by the way for your kind words 😀
So....i full day is all that is needed for full experience? GREAT video!
Sorry for the delayed response! You can do it in a half day but a full day is perfect so you wont be rushed.
@@SwiftyTravels just in time for the response. Heading out that way within the next couple of days. Looking forward to it!
Seems we all agree. A great, informative video on New Mexico and all there is to see. I was at Roswell for the Annular Eclipse and it was great. Thanks for sharing and continued great travels down the road.
Thanks so much! I’m planning a video on Roswell soon!
Wonderful and will look forward to watching it. A unique town in so many ways.
Thanks for compiling and sharing these tips. Useful info.
My pleasure!
Really good video. I'm going there tomorrow. Thanks!
Awesome!! Thanks for watching!
We have national park pass for a year. Do we still need to reservation for Carlsbad Caverns National Park?
Yes its to establish entry time. Its just $1 to reserve the time
@@SwiftyTravels thank you for reply… $1 per car or per person? We have car
@@Minal50 I think it was $1 per person to reserve the time slot to enter
I was there in 1976 looks different
I’ll bet it looks A LOT different! 😀😂
Lovely and helpfull your video. Thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment! Thanks for watching!
Helpful vid. Plan on visiting soon
