    Hello Carlsbad Caverns visitors!…read more Okay goofballs, this is business page is not for reviews of the national park or the visitor's center. It's for the trading company. When you exit the caverns through the elevators, you are led to a bookstore with limited gift items. I appreciate the books and a few other goods they sell there, but if you want a larger variety... exit the bookstore. Take a left and the Carlsbad Caverns Trading gift shop and grill are past the informational displays at the end of the building! The same trading company supposedly has an "Underground Lunchroom" plus a smaller gift shop, but I haven't seen it open in recent years. There is some cool stuff here. T-shirts. Hoodies. Gemstones & rocks. Jewelry. Koozies. Nicer items than what the bookstore sells. But as my 9 & 10-year-olds learned inflation did not skip over this desert bat country. Seems they got a bit stingy when it's THEIR money to spend. Lol. There's also a cafe/grill. I convinced my daughters that there was better food with less background noise at a place I wanted to hit in town. That became true. The two employees working on 4/27/2024 were so patient and pleasant to be around. Not like some of the customers! Some of the same visitors really wrecked the kid's toy section. Other goods were short in supply - hence my lower rating, but hey if you're going to have the place short-staffed on the busiest day of the week then it's fairly easy to see where the priorities are.

    The caves were great, but Pat and the green chile stew were even better. Highly recommend the…read moreguided tours in addition to the self guided

    I took my daughter's guitar in to have a string replaced. I left it there, and later I got a call…read morefrom them. They told me that her guitar had some sort of defect which they could repair by sanding something on the bridge. (I don't remember technically what the defect was, but that isn't the point of this review). This was right after Christmas, and money was very tight, so I asked what the cost would be. They said they would check with the guitar tech, and call me back with his price. I called my cousin, who had purchased the guitar for my daughter to get his viewpoint. He said that sometimes guitars did indeed have such a defect as had been described, and fixing it would greatly improve the sound and the ease of playing. He said he had a friend who was going to be in town soon who worked on guitars, and he would check with him to see if he could work on my daughter's guitar while he was here. The next day, I received a call, but it was not to give me a quote, but to tell me the guitar was ready: it was restrung, tuned, and the defect had been corrected. The bill was $83.00. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that they had taken it upon themselves to do the work without an okay from me. I didn't pick it up for several days, because 1) I was going to have to struggle with other bills after paying this, 2) I was angry at them putting me in a bind like this. I considered refusing to pay. I considered taking them to small claims court. I considered abandoning the guitar there. Finally, I decided to tighten our belts and pay for the work because my daughter was dedicated to learning to play guitar, and the ukulele after that, and I felt it would be imprudent to make enemies with the only music store in our town. When I picked it up, I received an apology for doing the work without my permission.(They guessed it was a matter of insufficient funds when I took so long to come after it). They did not offer to reduce the bill, but said my daughter could have a free guitar lesson, which we later took them up on. So be careful when you deal with them, especially if you are on a tight budget. From now on, I will expressly tell them not to do any work not specified by me until I explicitly tell them to. Otherwise, they are nice people and it seems to be a well stocked shop. I am not familiar enough yet with standard prices to know if they are reasonable with theirs, but I do know that Hastings charged me $5.00 more for an identical capo that Tony's offers for sale. They also charge ten cents less for a guitar pick than does my daughter's guitar teacher at the high school.

    I have visited this store several times and have always enjoyed browsing their selection. While it…read morecan be uncomfortable to feel watched as you shop, I simply continue with my visit and ask for assistance if needed. The store offers excellent products and is kept very clean. On one occasion, I mentioned that the entrance had an unpleasant odor like body odor it hits you in the face when you open the door the next time, I did come in the smell was not there. Today, I called the store to schedule a Hydrotherapy appointment. I spoke with a gentleman who informed me that Amy's available slots for these appointments are at 1:00-2:00 PM or 2:30 PM. I explained that these times wouldn't work for me and asked if there were other options. He mentioned that Amy might be flexible with her schedule. I then checked my calendar to see if I could accommodate one of the regular times, as he also mentioned there were available slots in August. He then asked what time would work for me, and I replied with 5 PM. He immediately responded, "Blah, I don't think Amy will do that," cutting me off before I could finish. I was about to suggest 5 PM this week or 12:30 PM next Monday if that was possible, but I never got the chance. So, I said, "Um, okay, never mind." He responded, "No, Jessica, what is it? Well, what is it?" I told him I would find another place for the treatment. He said something I couldn't hear, and I ended the call by telling him his response was rude before hanging up. I already felt uncomfortable discussing this appointment with a man, and his rudeness made it even worse. Hydrotherapy involves being partially exposed, with only a blanket covering you, so it's crucial for me to feel comfortable with the staff and the environment. This comfort is essential for a positive experience. I will no longer shop here!

I wish I had pictures of the marvelous rows of supplements and herbs. we were going to the caverns the next day and I was desperate for something for dizziness. on top of that I am allergic to SOOO many things but the gentleman was excellent at helping me read labels and find what I needed. thanks to his help I was able to sleep without the room spinning and enjoy the hours at the caverns. that is the place to go if your not finding what you need lsewhere.
