Things To Do
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
For all of our out of state visitors we highly recommend exploring the Carlsbad Caverns if you have a day or half day available to you! It’s an incredible experience that you shouldn’t miss out on! We recommend setting aside 4-5 hours to allow time for travel and exploring the caverns. Please visit their website link for more information. We hope you enjoy it!
Living Desert Zoo & Gardens State Park
The Living Desert is a quick and easy way to spend a couple of hours in Carlsbad! The zoo offers a look at native New Mexico plants and wildlife. It is located in Carlsbad city limits and is easy to find and get to. We recommend setting aside at least 1-2 hours to enjoy the park! Please see website link for more information.
Nurvis Purvis Brewing Co
Nurvis Purvis is a brewery that is new to Carlsbad. The brewery offers a fun and retro vibe and is a great place to spend some down time. The brewery is located right around the corner from the wedding location and is a convenient place to grab a couple drinks right before the wedding. We hope you enjoy it!
Lake Carlsbad Beach Park
If you’re looking to get outside but want to stay close by we recommend heading down to the Carlsbad Beach and Riverwalk area. It’s a great and easy place to walk around near the Pecos River that runs through our town. There are also pickleball and tennis courts that are free to the public for those who like to play.
