We went to enjoy the boats on the river at Christmas. It was great. Visitors should be aware to dress very warmly for this treat. I was able to buy a blanket for my daughter to use on the boat. We ate in the park; a simple but delicious sandwich.

We went to Guadalupe Mountain Brewing Company for dinner. It was PACKED! The drinks were good but unfortunately we waited 45 minutes for a salad and pretzel. We also went to Milton's Brewing and they had some live music which was very nice.

The caverns are a must-see, but if you're there at the right time, be sure you experience seeing the bats leave the cave at dusk!! It was an incredible experience I'll never forget!

This is our second time going to the caverns and they were just as amazing as they were 23 years ago. It is an experience not to be missed!

Carlsbad was great for what we came for. Our main plans were to visit the Caverns and check out Sitting Bull Falls, which we did and it worked out great! We did wish the city had a little bit more of night life but Buffalo Wild Wings sufficed.
