One of the most attractive features of the supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model of particles is a natural non-baryonic cold dark matter candidate. We review accessibility of such supersymmetric models to the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment, as well as to the other direct dark matter search experiments. In particular, we study theoretical constraints of the supersymmetric parameter space, such as the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) framework. We also examine the possible complementarity of direct search experiments with other experimental results, such as the measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of muon.
