FUN IN THE 505
Sightseeing
Plan to eat either at the bottom (Santiagos) or the top (Ten 3). If weather permits, the outside deck at Santiagos at sunset is really nice. Bring a jacket because it's cold at the top. Numerous hiking trails at the top to walk on so wear appropriate shoes if you plan to hike. When entering tram get all the way to one side so you can see the views (especially with little ones).

You can usually find free street parking or a free parking lot (except during balloon fiesta). Stroll around and look at the shops. Plan to eat at a local New Mexican restaurant or at least stop for a margarita. Beautiful on Christmas Eve. During nice weather you may find some local artists selling jewelry near the square.

about a 3 hr drive but really worth the drive if you have never seen a cavern before.
Leave early in the morning or drive down and stay the night because it takes all day.
You can walk down on your own or take a guide. Wear good shoes.
Inquire about the bat release. That is cool to see if you can.

Go only in nice weather. Do not go if it's rainy or windy. If you have kids they can go sledding down the hills. You can buy a saucer in the gift shop or bring one with you. You can park your car and hang out and watch them "sled" for hours.

This is a very unusual experience. It can be fun for just adults or even the whole family. Plan on spending more time than you would think to explore the whole place. If the kids want to stay longer you can wait for them in the cafe and have a beer or wine while they play and explore.
