Carlsbad Caverns Trading Company is a convenient stop for visitors of the national park. After exiting the caverns through the elevators, guests can find a bookstore with limited gift items, and just a short walk away, a larger gift shop and grill offering a variety of goods, including T-shirts, hoodies, gemstones, jewelry, and koozies. The grill also serves food, although some visitors have found it to be overpriced. The staff is known to be patient and pleasant. While the trading company has an "Underground Lunchroom" and a smaller gift shop, they are not always open. The caverns themselves are a must-see, with stunning formations and a massive underground chamber, the Big Room. Visitors can also grab a bite to eat at the cafeteria inside the cave. It's essential to plan ahead and book a reservation to visit the caverns, as walk-ins are not allowed.
