Carlsbad Caverns National Park will offer unparalleled opportunities to experience the wonders of Carlsbad Cavern and its colorful history in the form of special lantern-lit guided tours December 17 and 18. Park staff in uniform and in costume will conduct a tour of the Big Room of Carlsbad Cavern much as it was done during the 1930s and 40s, including the blackout and historic Rock of Ages ceremony. Early explorer Dr. Frank Ernest Nicholson and early cave guide Carol Miller will be recalled from the past to lead the tour.
Reservations and tickets are required. Fees are $8 for adults; $4 for children 4-15; children under age 4 are not allowed. On December 17 and 18 only, the tours will start promptly at 5:30 p.m. and last until 7 p.m. Tour size is limited to 60 people.

The park is open every day of the year except Christmas Day.
