Carlsbad Caverns

I recommend visiting early, around 8 AM if you can. There are fewer crowds then, and you can enjoy the cavern in peace.

My advice is to wear good walking shoes. Some paths can get slippery, and you don’t want to risk a fall while marveling at the views.

Consider buying a national parks pass if you plan to visit other parks in the area. It saves you some cash!
If you're planning to take a lot of photos, a lightweight tripod is a lifesaver. The lighting in there can be tricky, and you’ll want to capture those stunning rock formations without blur.
Rio Grande Bridge

I recommend checking the weather a few days before your visit. If it's stormy, they might close the jump, and it's better to reschedule than be disappointed.

I suggest booking your bungee jump in advance, especially on weekends. It gets really busy, and you don't want to wait forever just to take the plunge.
Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon Co

My advice is to wear layers. It can be chilly at ground level in the morning, but once you're up in the balloon, it gets warmer. You want to be comfy enough to enjoy the experience!

I suggest checking the cancellation policy before booking. Weather can be unpredictable, and it’s good to know what your options are in case your flight gets rescheduled.

I recommend booking your flight early in the morning, like around 6 AM. The weather is usually calmer, which makes for a smoother ride and better views. It can get crowded later in the day, so you’ll be glad you rose early!
Blue Hole

I suggest bringing your own snorkel gear if you can. Rentals can be pricey, and having your own feels more comfortable. I wished I had done this on my visit!

One thing I regret is not checking the weather beforehand. It rained during my visit, and it made the experience less enjoyable. Always check forecasts a day before!
World Balloon

Don’t forget to bring a camera! The views are stunning, and I wish I had captured more moments. Consider a GoPro if you have one – you'll love the angles.

I suggest checking the weather a few days in advance. Our flight was postponed due to wind, and I heard others had the same issue. Flexibility is key to making the most of your trip.
Pan American Center

I recommend arriving at least an hour early to snag good parking and grab some snacks. The lines can get pretty long, and trust me, you don’t want to miss the pre-game excitement!
Arroyo Seco Raceway

Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash; the food there is a bit pricey and not all that great. I wish I had packed a cooler with my favorites.
Fort Marsy Park

If you're planning to check out the Burning of Zozobra, get there early in the day to score a good spot... Last year was super crowded, and the vibe wasn't as family-friendly as it should be, so arriving early helps avoid the chaos

For a chill visit, I suggest going to the park in the evening. The views are amazing, and it’s nice and quiet, especially if you grab some coffee before heading up. Plus, you might spot some cute rabbits and lizards!
