1) How long should you stay? Can you see much in one day? Would you
get bored after 1/2 a day?
2) Do you need to rent a car or is transportation available?

We flew there in 2002 with our kids, on the way home from the Grand Canyon.

I think a full day at the caverns is just about right. It's a huge place,
with an amazing array of things to see. And you absolutely, positively MUST
stay for the evening "show" -- over 1,000,000 bats flying out of the cave,
en route to their feeding areas some 15 miles away.

I had missed that when I went to the caverns with my parents, some 35 years
ago, and it is easily the most impressive thing to see at the caves.

Rent a car -- you'll need to get around to restaurants, etc. The area is
pretty sparse, and I don't think taking cabs is feasible.
