I answered the cave post first, but I def. vote for Carlsbad. Someone on a camping forum gave me this hint if you go: walk down & ride the elevator back up! Eat lunch in the only underground restaurant in the US. You can even mail postcards/letters from there & they are stamped 'mailed from 750' underground' or something like that.

Check out the Carlsbad website & see if the bats are flying. We also opted to do the 'Left Hand Cave tour' in addition to Carlsbad proper. It was the only one my son could go on (he was just 9 at the time) but some of the other special tours look good too.

We spent all DAY at the caverns & they had to chase us out at the end!!
