What to expect
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a stunning natural wonder located in the Guadalupe Mountains of southeastern New Mexico. The park features over 119 caves, including the famous Carlsbad Cavern, which boasts a large limestone chamber known as the Big Room. This massive chamber is almost 4,000 feet long, 625 feet wide, and 255 feet high, making it the largest in North America and the 32nd largest in the world. Visitors can explore the cave through self-guided tours or ranger-led programs, and the park also offers a bat flight program. The park's unique geology was formed when sulfuric acid dissolved limestone, creating the caverns, and the area is home to a variety of desert wildlife and flora. With its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and family-friendly activities, Carlsbad Caverns National Park is an ideal destination for families to explore and learn together
