Breathtaking views and plenty of wildlife. Great trails. Definitely a place to check out while at Yellowstone.

You must go! Google is showing that the middle road between Norris and the Canyon village is closed but as the end of April road is OPEN and will save you at least 1:30h each way ( from west entrance to the canyon)

This was so worth it! We loved it here with all the breath taking views! The parking was super easy and was pretty empty we got right in and out with our RV. There are 2 viewing areas on the south side I think and definitely go to both!

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a picturesque place with canyons and a river cutting through the middle. It has a lot of viewing points and the canyons look amazing. There are a couple of half a mile to a mile treks here to see a nice view of the grand canyon. It also has a the upper and the lower water falls which are beautiful and you get to sit near the waterfall as well. A definite must visit on your trip to Yellowstone National Park.

The views are absolutely stunning! Canyon is breathtaking. Definitely take a hike down to lower falls,but be prepared to hike back up.

Breathtaking views from the Artist point and the Inspiration point. On our to our hotel in West Yellowstone, saw bison in a very close distance.

O what to say about this place! Very Unique and Very Beautiful!!! I’ve never seen such a beautiful canyon with colorful rocks and river! The trail down to ‘Brink of lower falls’ is a little less than 3/4th of a mile but the drop is about 270ft, therefore, walking down is super easy but coming back up needs a lot of effort, but it’s totally WORTH IT!!! Same deal with ‘Lower Lookout Point’. Inspiration point justifies the name!

So beautiful. There are some wonderful hikes to do. Probably my favorite part of the park.

Stunning spot in the Park. The place can get very busy in the summer so try and get here early morning so if you want to peacefully digest the beauty of this place.

Beautiful spot in Yellowstone and it was in my top 5 of places to visit in this national park. We went on May 6th and just could had access to 2 view points (some paths were close due to snow) so if you want to see the waterfall from a closer place I'd recommend to go later in the year but still, no matter when you go, this place is beautiful 😍

A beautiful park to visit and hike. Nature is awesome and fresh air.

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a breathtaking marvel with picturesque view of Yellowstone Falls. The canyon is a deep V-shaped valley with colorful orange, yellow, and pink canyon walls. There are different viewpoints, we went to the Artist point on the south rim of Yellowstone. We were mesmerized by the rainbows accentuating the beauty of the canyon. Get there early to beat the crowds; the parking fills up fast. A must-visit natural wonder!

Experiencing the grandeur of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone for the first time was an awe-inspiring adventure that left me breathless. From the moment I set eyes on this natural wonder, I knew I was in for a remarkable journey. Guided by a dear friend, we spent many hours immersing ourselves in the unparalleled beauty of this majestic landscape. As we ventured along the canyon's rim, the vistas that unfolded before us were nothing short of magnificent. The vibrant colors of the canyon walls, ranging from golden hues to deep reds, were intensified by the perfect weather. The sunlight danced upon the cascading waterfalls that plunged into the depths, creating an ethereal atmosphere. Despite its fame, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone didn't feel overly crowded, allowing us to truly savor the experience. We found moments of solitude to appreciate the tranquil surroundings and soak in the awe-inspiring views. The power and force of nature were on full display as the Yellowstone River carved its way through the canyon, sculpting breathtaking cliffs and creating a tapestry of geological wonders. It was a humbling reminder of the immense forces that have shaped our planet over millions of years. The sheer scale of the canyon was impossible to fully comprehend, even with hours of exploration. Each viewpoint revealed a new perspective, showcasing nature's ability to create both grand spectacles and intricate details. From Artist Point to Uncle Tom's Trail, every spot offered its own unique allure. Visiting the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone was an unforgettable experience that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Its untouched beauty, combined with the perfect weather and a dear friend's company, made it a journey I will cherish for a lifetime.

Massive waterfall and beautiful cliffs. I highly recommend going here as it is magnificent. Here you can find very unique rock formation. Also, the cliffs are beautifully colored. Make sure to bring mosquito spray because these mosquitoes are very aggressive.

Roughly 24 miles long canyon is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.

Had a great time, you can also trail or hike if you are into this. The wild animals were not aggressive as said, just need to approach with caution and be sensitive to their habitat. The geyser was awesome, sounds like a jet taking off. I had a wonderful time there. The ticket purchased for 38 dollars at the gate was for 5 days. So you can continue journey from where you left off.

Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park is an absolute must-see, and there's plenty of parking available. However, it tends to fill up quickly, so it's best to arrive early at the location. The geyser is conveniently situated near the parking area, making it easily accessible by a short walk. It erupts with hot water and steam every 30-45 minutes, providing an extraordinary spectacle that is truly awe-inspiring. It's heartwarming to witness everyone patiently waiting for the event, adding to the charm of the experience. The reliability of its eruptions makes it an iconic moment to cherish with friends. To plan your visit accordingly, you can check all the eruption timings on the geyser times mobile app. The area surrounding Old Faithful is perfect for both exploration and relaxation, offering a wonderful setting for spending quality time with friends.

Awesome geysers, hot springs, mud pots. Old Faithful is pretty epic and center, and a guaranteed show, but in the 70 minutes or so between eruptions you can walk around to see lots of other geological wonders, including other geysers that erupt randomly and can be even more fun. Super crowded, but plenty of things to see outside the main attraction, and lots of amenities and easy parking.

Of course you have to stop here! It’s beautiful. If the visitors center is closed the Yellowstone Lodge has the eruptions time posted. If you have time hike the trail that overlooks old faithful for another perspective - this hike is a bit rough in spots. While old faithful is the “star” of this area, the Grand Geyser is in my opinion more spectacular when it erupts. There are benches near the Grand Geyser. I got some great pictures. It is amazing how accurate it's timing is. Make sure you check the times and get there earlier than what is anticipated. I would like to recommend Mcrae Investigations agency for all your investigative needs. This firm offers detailed professional investigative services, litigation cases,  monitoring and tracking, child custody, gather information for court cases and lots more. For more info, see mcraespy at outlook dot come. Thank you.

This is a beautiful landscape and a unique experience. We had higher expectations for the results but it was still a must see. There is many other cool places to stop in yellowstone. We were only able to go through a small portion of all of what is to see. There is a nice gift shop and other amenities near old faithful. This is a majestic park to go see. It wasn't extreme busy being that it is winter and that was really nice.

Check visitor center for estimated times of eruption, all 3 we saw happened within 10 minutes of their estimates. Old faithful seems to be on a 90 minute rotation. Walk the trail to see even more geysers and springs. Very easy. Boardwalk is well maintained. Lots of seats along the way for breaks or just to enjoy the view. Old faithful was cool but I loved the colors of the others, the grotto and riverside toward the end before morning glory (my personal favorite) was amazing. It’s about a 1.5 mile walk from old faithful to morning glory, 3 miles round trip.

Old Faithful stayed true to its name, gracing us with a couple of its signature eruptions during our visit. While it wasn't my top highlight (Yellowstone is brimming with beauties), the build-up and suspense added a fun twist! Definitely worth the wait and watch.

Awesome experience!! So cool to see this gem. You can check for eruption times before you go but when you go you better get there early if you want to sit on a bench because it fills up fast! Nice visitor center, gift shop and grill nearby. Definitely worth seeing if you're in the park.

Visiting the national park for the second time. Amazing one. The park had estimated a time of eruption and it happened promptly. Visitor center was beautiful. Lot of good information. Visited it this time as part of a snowmobile tour.

Beautiful in the cold weather. You can hike on the boardwalk without snow shoes. In other areas I recommend renting them. Just $14 at the Snow Lodge. It was as low as -12 when we were there but so beautiful. We saw a river otter and bison.

Drive up as old faithful was blowing, what amazing sight. Make sure you stop by while in Yellowstone. I came at 7pm and there were not many people. The sunset was gorgeous. The cool weather in July made the walk pleasant.

We got there right after it rupted which made the crowds disperse. We got front row seats for the next one will have to wait about an hour but it’s worth getting the best shot to get front row seats. There’s also trails around or you can see other spectacular things if you don’t want to wait.

One of the most popular and famous things to do and a must do in the Yellowstone park when you visit. There are many other geysers that have much more spectacular eruptions than the Old Faithful but the Old Faithful are the most frequent of eruptions. You can also view the eruptions from the observation deck of Old Faithful inn that gave you a different perspective of this world famous natural wonders.

It was pretty cool. Once in a lifetime thing. I didn't spend much time their or walk any trails. But I did see old faithful explode! So I'd spend more time their next time. I was just in the area so it's worth the stop. I'd go back for sure. This old bison just walked up to everybody. I got a little too close. But I ended up running away because it was so close to me. & yes park rangers know when it's going to blow.

Glory of nature with the Old Faithfull timing it's predictable event over & over & over... Never getting tired of this natural precision of time in a timeless atmosphere.. Wish Chinese folks would be more quiet for sake of a perfect experience.

Breath taking. This place is like no other I've ever been. There are two hotels on site, with the historic one being closed in winter season. The geyser is amazing and the information center is full of educational things. We will be back. Dress warm if going in winter, and plan to book a top snow travel tour.

I love Yellowstone National Park, and I'm obsessed with going there. I'm only 2 hours from the park, so I visit often. I love all areas of the park. Old Faithful is wonderful to watch, no matter how many times I've seen it. I also love Old Faithful Inn. It's rustic look is beautiful. We've stayed there a couple of times over the years.

Old Faithful is the most reliable geyser at Yellowstone national park. The rangers can predict the next eruption within a 15 minute window. It erupts every 90 to 115 minutes. There is always an anxious crowd waiting so get a seat early so you have a good view. There's a board walk with benches. While waiting you'll be able to view the "stupid human tricks" while waiting... people always try to walk close to the geyser or wild Bison while you're waiting for the next event.

Always love this place! If you're a nature lover like me or you want to see a spectacle of nature, you'll love this place! It's especially nice if you go during a time that's not so busy. You can enjoy the geysers, especially good old Old Faithful, while basking in the serenity and peace of the outdoors. It's a beautiful opportunity!

_ Great place to see Wildlife in nascent , fresh , lively mood between dawn and morning hours - Be respectful and careful of the wildlife and their home

Lamar Valley is located along the Soda Butte Creek before you arrive at Tower Fall, if you enter the Park from the NE entrance, from Cooke City, MT. It is a wonderful place to observe wildlife and this can be done right from your vehicle. The herds of buffalo seem acclimated to the traffic and will graze right alongside the road. Mamas and their calves with the bulls on patrol. We stayed right in the car and let them come to us, and this is a traffic stopping show.

Beautiful part of Yellowstone NP. We went there for sunset and got to so much wildlife! A herd of Bison, bear, large elk, and even wolves! Definitely worth the drive from any part of Yellowstone

Best spot to view wildlife in Yellowstone! We saw several pronghorn, a couple wolves and about 1000 buffalo!

One of the best places to visit in Yellowstone National Park. Full of wildlife

If you are planning to travel to this area while in Yellowstone plan to be up here early to be able to experience more wildlife and enjoy the peacefulness of the valley. Loads of buffalo at all times of the day and it is not as busy as the more southerly parts of the park but much more stunning setting.

This is the wide open plains where you will see hundreds of buffalo and wildlife. Plenty of parking. I'm glad we stopped here.

One of my favorite places to drive in Yellowstone. Turn a bend and see bison everywhere! Early morning wolves, bison all the time, we saw a grizzly and many other wildlife.

Grand Prismatic Springs was by far the highlight of my trip through Yellowstone! The entire boardwalk loop around the whole thing just left you awestruck by its natural beauty. The vibrant array of colors was surreal to see in person and the photos captured by your cameras will probably never do it full justice. There were also plenty of local guides to give you pertinent information as you make your way around the loop. Parking was a nightmare however but that was to be expected I suppose...

It's a good stop with a boardwalk (no railings) running around the different pools. However, much of their beauty is found from above so to truly get a great view, you need to hike a separate trail to the Grand Prismatic Springs overlook, starting at Fairy Falls parking lot.

Amazing place with Incredible view of the Grand Prismatic Spring! 😍 Definitely recommend doing the small hike to the Overlook for amazing captures. All the smaller pools are photogenic areas as well.

I’m sure it is gorgeous in summer, but if you are going in winter, you may not be able to even see it due to steam coming off of it. The boardwalk out to it is nice and easy to walk.

If you are visiting the most magical National Park the. You must stop at Grand Prismatic Springs to check out the amazing colors and hot spring pools. You can get great pictures from the boardwalk or there is a trail head that leads you up about a mile hike to a great view for better views. YOU MUST STAY ON THE BOARDWALK. These are very delicate ecosystems and when you walk on them it destroys them or worse yourself. And remember if you see wildlife stay a minimum of 25 yards away.

Beautiful... short hike to see the grand prismatic spring from the top... the only thing is it is really crowded from 9am to 12 pm... plus since it has been raining there are a lot of mosquitos so take your bug spray! But beautiful 😍

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Its vibrant, rainbow-like colors against the backdrop of the natural surroundings are a sight to behold. What makes the experience even more special is the short hike that leads you to an elevated viewpoint, offering a breathtaking perspective of this geological wonder. Walking along the boardwalk and gazing down at the brilliantly hued waters is a mesmerizing experience. It's a must-see natural wonder that showcases the incredible beauty and geothermal wonders of Yellowstone. Don't miss the opportunity to witness this stunning marvel of nature and take that short hike for an even more memorable view when visiting the park.

Wonderful place. Take the small hike to see it from the top.

Recommend getting there around 9am, hike to the falls passed the springs. By the time you return the morning mist and the like will have burned off and the view of the spring will be best. The colors are just as the pics show, very vibrant and unique. We even saw a bison and other wildlife which was a bonus.

Near Old Faithful Geyser. Don't miss this place! Time of day, season, water flow and weather effects the coloration. Don't expect the colors that you see on postcards.

Words cannot explain this magical place. Worth doing board walk along with the Fairy Falls overlook (1 mile round trip, pretty easy hike). Parking is bit tricky but doable. Always prefer post noon visit as in the morning the visibility is low.

It was an okay crowd in the afternoon and would suggest to park on the road and walk to here. To get the absolute mesmerizing view, do the Prismatic Overlook loop by parking near Fairy Falls trailhead.

Grand Prismatic Spring can be described as a gigantic painting, a masterpiece by nature. It has a massive deep blue center like a gemstone surrounded by radiant red, golden, and brown color corona. The colors and pattens shift constantly depending on how light is shining, and as fog comes and goes. It is best to start by taking-in an aerial view from Fairly Falls trail. And then experience it up and close from the boardwalk; it’s entrance is located a short drive from the falls. Afternoon sun is the best time as it burns off fog and the fiery colors are in full display. We would go there again in a heartbeat.

Must visit place in Yellowstone National park. Full of steamy water with mineral deposits in different colors. Unique experience to view these hot streams. Crowd and mostly need to go in line on wooden path.

One of my favorite places to visit while visiting Yellowstone is Grand Prismatic Spring. Just stunning views and the colors are just unbelievable. Takes my breath away each time. A long line of cars to enter each time for the parking spots, but well worth the wait to get into the area to see the Grand Prismatic Spring.

Absolutely stunning. If you must see only one thing in Yellowstone, this is it!! This is hands down my favorite place in the park. Pro Tip: parking is a cluster. Park on the roadside before getting there and walk the rest of the way there.

Beautiful. Only detractors were a) the idiots within arm's reach of a buffalo didn't get gored, and b) every single RV/bus parking spot was taken by a single car. No doubt about it, beauty draws the absolute worst amongst us.

Go midday when it's sunny!! The tips are spot-on. As our pics show, we first went on a rainy day. The boardwalk view was only steam. Then we hiked up to the viewpoint on a sunny day - right as a storm was moving in, but before it rained. Incredible!

If you make it to the north entrance for the Yellowstone, the mammoth Hot Springs are only five minutes from the entrance you can get out. There is a walkway that takes you up the trail maybe a 1015 minute walk there are handrails did not see any wheelchair accommodations really cool to see. We saw it in the winter with a lot of snow so you can see where the snow melted and where the hot springs were.

After exploring everything south of this point, it is fun to then come here to something COMPLETELY different from all of the other pools, geysers, and waterfalls. These terraces are their own thing and they are very cool to see up close.

Very cool place to visit. You can drive around the vehicle pathway and see the different parts of it or you can walk around the various parts using the walkway. There were elk all around relaxing near the information center nearby. There is free WiFi in the area too. Also, there is an in park hotel there that you can reserve (reserve at least a year in advance of your visit) less crowded area when I went (around 5:30pm)

Such a cool place!! The Travertine pools are huge! There are multiple parking lots with easy access. There are several entrances to the walkways. There are a lot of stairs keep in mind for those that have a hard time getting around. It used to have a lot more water flowing but does have a little as of early June 2023.

Love exploring new things. We went 2nd week of April and only the top part is open in yellowstone. Owner I'm Cooke said do not go in the summer. Sometimes, it takes 2-3 hrs just to get into the park. Best time, mid-May or mid-September if you don't want to be in hr long lines bit it is beautiful.

We visited Mammoth Hot Springs on May 10, 2022. It is close to the north entry of the park. The place is beautiful and has boardwalks to view lower and upper hot springs. Snow was still present on most of the boardwalks.

Lots of boardwalks crisscross up the side of the mountain providing a solid hour of exploration. The hot springs are littered across the hillside with unique geological formations around every turn. The hot springs are completely exposed and the sun reflects off the white rock making the rock formations even more dramatic. This makes for a hot afternoon activity during the summer, but still enjoyable if you’re prepared.

Visited Mammoth Hot Springs just after Christmas and I had an awe-inspiring experience! The sheer scale of the hot springs were truly massive. Witnessing the natural phenomenon of the hot springs was both majestic and captivating. Pretty cool to see!

Wonders of nature is always a favorite. Simply said it's amazing & awesome. Fantastic time with my beloved wife..

Mammoth Hot Springs is a must see. It looks like a build of of millenia of hot spring activity with a variety of colors and textures. Mammoth describes it well. The springs extend a long way. There are both drive through areas and boardwalk areas. See the pics for a sampling of what you will see. Click the like button if the review was helpful or you like the pics.

Very cool place! Though very crowded; get here EARLY. While we were here there were two bull elk in rut; which was awesome, but you had to be careful at the same time. This place was a great first stop into Yellowstone!

Pretty neat to look at. Easily accessible, even in the winter. I am disappointed I didn't see a real life mammoth, but the bull elk I saw keeping watch over the springs from under his tree is a nice consolation.

I was really hoping to see some magnificent terraces but everything seemed a little dulled down including Grand Prismatic Spring (and we did walk to the overlook). Guess it was because it was quite overcast the day we were there. The resident elk herd was a surprising bonus for us though. The food at the dining hall was a star, too! Loved the steaks and the hot fudge sundaes! Remember, there is no air conditioning in these national park hotels. Luckily the windows open to allow free air flow. A unique place that I'm happy to have visited in person!

Very interesting walk through a landscape that seems like the moon, and smells pretty awful (as you would expect). It’s a lot of climbing stairs to see the whole thing, but well worth it. You can drive to the top and see some of the pools if you can’t manage all the stairs. We were pretty exhausted after exploring the whole thing, so make sure you wear your comfy walking shoes!

Yellowstone Lake is the largest body of water in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone Lake freezes over completely every winter in late December or early January, with ice thicknesses varying from a few inches to more than two feet. The lake usually thaws in late May or early June. Yellowstone Lake remains cold year-round, with an average water temperature of 41°F (5°C). Because of the extremely cold water, swimming is not recommended.Yellowstone Lake has the largest population of wild cutthroat trout in North America. How a Pacific Ocean fish was trapped in a lake that drains to the Atlantic puzzled experts for years. Figuratively, if one could pour all the water out of Yellowstone Lake, what would be found on the bottom is similar to what is found on land in Yellowstone: geysers, hot springs, and deep canyons.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful lakes in America! Peaceful. Serene. Huge!! It is a must see. Take a picnic lunch, stop at one of the picnic areas. Enjoy the views!

Too sad we went there around Fall and winter, the sky was unclear. The weather was cold. We will be back around summer. It would be much better.

Really big and beautiful lake. It’s still an iced lake when I was there, but I think it should be pure water now. You can see this lake from different angles. Now you might be able to take a boat through bridge bay. You can go to west thumb to see how geothermal landscapes merge with lake and it’s really awesome!

As I was driving out of the area, came upon these two bisons grazing by the lake.

Yellowstone Lake was one of my favorite parts about Yellowstone National Park. It’s a huge lake, with very beautiful views. It reminded me of the California coast. There are lots of places to pull off along the coast with picnic tables. Some areas are thermal and you can see steam coming out on the shore.

We have explored and thoroughly loved Yellowstone National Park each of the numerous times we have visited. Lone Star Geyser is a favorite spot and a wonderful hike from Lone Star back to Old Faithful Lodge! Everyone should see Yellowstone. You’ll gather lifetime memories there. I regret not touring Yellowstone in winter when I was young! It’s on my bucket list! ♥️

Such a beautiful scenery, a must stop on your trip through Yellowstone.

Yellowstone lake is huge one and its around 20 miles around. We took several stops where there was spectacular views. Its a beautiful view and drive

Yellowstone lake cover 136 surface miles and it is the largest high elevation lake in North America. Interesting fact is that there is no fishing allowed from the “fishing bridge” since 1973. Yellowstone Lake runs through numerous parts of the park but we found the best view to be on East entrance road. I would highly recommend Steamboat Point picnic ground for awesome views of the water during a stop for lunch or dinner. Steamboat is just a mile or so east of the fishing bridge. Enjoy.

There is nothing I could say that could better describe the beauty of this lake inside a beautiful park. Hard to miss if going through the park but make sure and stop.

Fantastic driving towards Fisher's Bridge coming from West Thumb.... Beautiful vistas and do look for dead wood as it makes great pictures! 😉

Beautiful lake that has boat access

This lake is huge. We went to the part by the Fishing Bridge Visitors Center. We also enjoyed the lake from the West Thumb Geyser Basin. The lake shore at the visitor center was so serene. I highly recommend visiting it here. There were almost no people around. The West Thumb Geyser Basin was also pretty neat. It was cool that there was geothermal activity right on the lake. You'll likely drive by this lake while in Yellowstone at some point. You might as well stop for a bit to enjoy it.

Upper Falls in Yellowstone National Park is located on the Grand loop road close to Hayden Valley and Canyon Village depending from where you are coming. The parking lot size is pretty decent with restrooms. This is the Yellowstone river which drops to the upper falls and then drops again to lower falls and finally flowing through the canyon. The view of the gushing water is a great spectacle. You can also feel the mist on your face.

Wow. Somehow we missed this stop during our first visit to Yellowstone some years back. This was by far my favorite 'tourist' stop. This is a must visit for any trip to Yellowstone. Breathtaking views and awesome photo-op.

Craziest water feature the is to see. Massive. Magnetic. Captivating. Loved the trails, the views, all of it

So close view of falls and immense force of nature

Magnificent view of the falls from the viewing platform. Absolutely worth the hike

This was the highlight of our trip. It was an overcast and rainy day, but the view was amazing. We drove across the bridge to the first parking lot. From there we took the trail up to artist point. It was a long hike in a paved trail, with a lot of elevation change. The views along the way were superb though.

For my regret, in time when we visited, the third week of May, the road to Canyon village was closed due to the wheather condition. So, our way from Wilson to Gardiner took much more time. Any way, was amazing.

Incredible views and thunderous sound of the waterfall make this a must see for your Yellowstone experience.

A breathtaking view of upper falls was best viewed from this point. Min of 5-10 mins walk from the parking lot. There’s another view point as well to see these falls but I personally liked this one. I visited with my friends in the month of July for long weekend.

Huge fan of waterfalls and the Upper Falls certainly did not disappoint! Haven't made it to the Grand Canyon yet but the ravine coming away from the falls has to resemble it on a small scale. The falls themselves were really beautiful and the scenery in the back drop were out of this world. There were some neat hikes to it as well which is always a plus!

Best time to be here is after Memorial Day even if the weather looks potentially gloomy the clouds will part and give the visitors some stunning pictures. If you have a camera with a nice telephoto lens or a Bridge Camera superzoom you will have a plethora of opportunities out there. - Hayden Valley and Lamar are just so super duper for wildlife opportunities….. Managed to film this Grizzly sow and her 2 cubs from a good 100+ yards out. Bring your bug repellent you will need it in early June to the end of the month.

Between two major falls of Yellowstone, the Upper Falls is 109 feet high and extends to South Rim Drive Road. The falls' flow cascades onto the road. We were amazed to witness the falls' flow even from the road. Missing them won't be a disappointment, as the view from the road is still enchanting.

Beautiful in winter !! Drove up there in snowmobiles.

One of our favorite parts in Yellowstone. Absolutely breathtaking! We saw a few rainbows by the waterfall and it’s so relaxing!

The most people we met after entering the park. In the gift shop, it’s very crowded, the score of tour experience was not high. But if you choose the trailhead, it will be much more comfortable.

If you love Yellowstone and geysers, this is a great place to experience both. A visit can last from a few hours to weeks and you will still see something new. Great place to see nature. Each season has its own charm. Winter is beautiful. Summer can be hot, but you can explore more easily.

After viewing Old Faithful we headed off to the Upper Geyser Basin that is just behind the area. There are many geothermal event areas and lots of variety of pools and geysers. The boardwalk makes it an easy stroll between areas. You can get a map for a $1 donation so you can plan your route. We were lucky enough to catch Old Faithful in a second viewing from the boardwalk from behind the area as we were walking on the path back. It was a great non crowded area and perfect viewing from above.

A huge basin with vast no of small and medium geysers. Each geyser has its own speciality. Some has erruptions, some excrete colorful water, some are just deep and hot. It has small wooden trail in between to look at all geysers. A nice way to gain scientific knowledge. Just don't get close to geysers, it maybe harmful as there are various mineral and the surface is hot.

The Upper Geyser Basin is home to Old Faithful Geyser and Old Faithful Inn, Morning Glory Pool, Beauty Pool, Crested Pool, Castle Geyser and many other water features geysers and vents. The Firehole River also flows through this Basin. Old Faithful Inn is there. It dates back to 1904. Right off the back is a viewing area for the Geyser and there is also a second story viewing deck. A boardwalk trail begins at Old Faithful Geyser, which erupts roughly every 90 minutes now. This boardwalk is flat and even so walking along it is relatively easy. It is wide enough to accommodate wheeled rides, and bike rentals are available. The Firehole River flows along this basin between the water features. The geysers mentioned above are along the boardwalk on the way out to Morning Glory Pool. The distance is roughly 1.5 miles. Wear good walking shoes and sunscreen is the sun is quite bright.

We enjoyed our experience at Upper Geyser Basin over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. There are so many geysers within walking distance of Old Faithful. We were fortunate to observe both Grand Geyser and Old Faithful erupting during our short visit. The highlight for our group, however, was Morning Glory Pool. The moderate sized crowds did not negatively affect our ability to enjoy the geysers in any way. Parking at Upper Geyser Basin was more than adequate.

There’s a lot more than just “Old Faithful” at Upper Geyser basin, which is a good thing if you miss an eruption and don’t want to wait for the next one. That’s what happened to us. We parked our car JUST as an Old Faithful eruption occurred. We could see the water above the trees and knew we missed it. But there are SO many other awesome things to see at Upper Geyser Basin. Multiple “Visitor Center” type facilities aside, there are plenty of trails with smaller geysers and colorful bubbling pools. When I say “trails,” I don’t mean your typical dirt hiking trail either. Yellowstone has plenty of those too, but the trails around Upper Geyser Basin are either paved or on wooden platforms. Many (if not most) are even handicap accessible! Like many of the incredible attractions at Yellowstone, the geysers and bubbling pools at Upper Geyser Basin are beautifully otherworldly.

Although it's famous for old faithful. There are way more than old faithful. Lots of geysers other than old faithful keeps erupting day and night. Maybe you should stop by those while waiting for old faith erupting

My favorite NP is YS. Upper geyser basin is not to be missed but don't stop at Old Faithful. The colorful, gurgling surprises lay ahead along the trails behind Old Faithful. Go as far as possible. Or at least Morning Glory Pool.

Normally I like to get off the beaten path, but walking through the Upper Geyser Basin was really worth it. Each of the geothermal features is unique and interesting, and collectively they are kind of mind blowing. Make sure you check out the punchbowl and the black sand pool... and while you're in that area, it's not that much effort to walk down to the Black Sand Basin, which is teeming with interesting geothermal activity.

This is area offers great views of the falls, rapids, and high ridges. You can see the sheer and sharp edges of the ridges and cliffs. The location is very high as you can realize from the distance to the rapids below. There are lots of parking in the area.

since there are so many places to see the falls this spot was hard to find. GPS and phones dont work in the park. suggest yoy highlight a paper map of where you want to go before you start your trip

The best overlook in Yellowstone. Accessible parking, maintained paths, and the excitement of being gored by a bear on the nearby trail. Artist point features a couple platforms overlooking both the Lower Falls (big, distance waterfall) and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

Another beauty in the Yellowstone national Park. The view is simply wow. If you want to know more about this spot you can find a ranger trying to tell you more about this place.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Recommend not going during peak hours so you don’t have to wait or see too many crowds.

Best view of the Yellowstone grand canyon!! Best view because you see the lower falls and the canyon in the same frame. We loved it. Parking was plenty for May. Winds were strong at this point, make sure u cover yourself if u are traveling in winter.

The best view on Yellowstone Grand Canyon! must have view point on the list when visiting Yellowstone. Easy access, many parking spots, not a long walk. Have fun!

Beautiful!! Falls flowing through a Yellowish canyon.. a must visit.

Artist Point is located at the end of South Rim Road from which you have absolutely the best views of Yellowstone Canyon and the Yellowstone Lower Falls. The parking lot is relatively big but it is very popular and finding a parking spot may not be easy in peek visiting time.

Absolutely stunning! This ended up being our favorite spot within Yellowstone. The views were breathtaking. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone visiting the park.

This is the view! If you only see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone from one spot, make it Artist’s Point. You can drive and take a short walk out or hike the south rim.

Hayden Valley is a wildlife photographer's dream. I have never seen such wildlife anywhere. You will find hundreds of bison just basking in the sun and feeding. Coyotes and wolves once in a while. Bears if you are lucky and plenty of birds as well. I would recommend spending atleast a couple of hours if not more here. Have the super telephoto lens ready and the light is usually perfect for the pictures. You can even visit early morning to watch sunrise with the wildlife. It's just lit. You will meet other wildlife enthusiasts here as well.

Loved it! So calm and peaceful with such a beautiful scenery! Got to see couple of bisons here and deer with fawns! The drive is very scenic although make sure to take couple of stops at the pullouts and enjoy the view and let it soak in.

Amazing valley, we spotted a lot of bisons in the valley as well as pretty much on the road as well. The valley is very pleasant on the eye.

Good place to spot bisons. We cannot compare this to Lamar valley but this is decent spot for good number of bison and good place for sunset photography. Plan to visit this place towards the sunset.

Amazing to see the rolling plains of grass surrounded by mountains with rivers winding through the valley. It is amazing to see animals like bison and deer in their natural habitat and you can get so close to the animals too

Easily travel through with a car with lots of wildlife It’s like a small Safari.

Hayden Valley is a wildlife enthusiast's dream! Located in Yellowstone National Park, this alpine valley offers an incredible opportunity to observe diverse wildlife up close. The Yellowstone River along the valley made the wildlife visit here. From majestic bison and elk to elusive grizzly bears and wolves, you'll be amazed by the variety of creatures that visit frequently. Remember to respect the rules and stay on designated paths to preserve the natural habitat and ensure the safety of both visitors and wildlife. If wildlife are roaming around make sure the rangers are over there to safely park and come out of your car. An unforgettable experience awaits you here!

Great place to see wildlife, especially buffalo. We were visiting during rut season (late August). Allowed for some close pictures with a telephoto lens. There is a 25-50 foot distance from wildlife rule within the park. Enjoy the majestic animals of Yellowstone.

Here and Lamar Valley are the best places for wildlife. Definitely the 'Serengeti' of America. Yellowstone has the largest bison herd in North America.

We visited two weeks before most schools got out across the country. It was very enjoyable to drive through there! I captured this image from my car window using a 24-70mm lens and a Nikon D5

Excellent area for viewing wildlife, of course more often visible at dawn, secondly at sunset. Be patient with other drivers - some are there for the first time and they're just excited. Don't get within 25 yards of bison (see photo), 100 yards from wolves or grizzlies.

Majestic drive if you can make it for sunrise or sunset. Sunset will have a lot more traffic. Heards of bison are a frequent sight. .

Yellowstone is in my top 3 parks. I had an amazing trip spending 4 days in the park. I plan on returning during winter so I can finish my trip and see all the snow. The wildlife was great, staff was friendly and it was a beautiful experience. Jeff Mullins Photography Adventures. Happy Hiking!

One of the best national park to visit. We stayed inside the park and it helps to go around early and watch a lot of animals. A great experience for families.

Best!

Five stars for the park. ONE star for the road safety. Please, please ban bicycles from the roads! It's dangerous for the riders to be out there where they can become prey, but worse for the drivers of the cars. Even when traveling at or below the speed limit there's nothing worse than coming around a blind corner and encountering a moron on a bicycle in the middle of the road. We were traveling with our F250 and travel trailer and almost had several accidents because of these fools. We had to emergency brake FOUR different times to avoid a bike. That's not easy to do when traveling at 35 mph with a 15k pound rig. It doesn't stop on a dime. The people behind us had no idea it was coming and couldn't see anything except our trailer. I'm surprised we didn't have a car in our camper's living room! We even encountered big tour groups of them - including kids no more than SEVEN years old! That the heck are people thinking?! That yellow triangle doesn't make it safe for those kids!! Somebody's gonna get killed. I know if I have to choose between running my family into an oncoming tour bus or hitting a bike - that biker is going under my truck.

I feel like Wile E Coyote looking at all that meat.....mouth watering. If I could only find my bib.

The beauty of Yellowstone will forever amaze me. Love this place so much!

Unforgettable vacation around the national park, photocamera is a must

The views and everything is absolutely beautiful, the service was great, now for the room that we had was a different story, it was extremely small, the bed was uncomfortable , the smell of dust in the room was very strong it could have been since it was the opening weekend of the hotel but unknown. I would highly recommend the snow lodge for a comfort room which is located right behind this one.

In terms of a place to stay, I'd say 3-star. But the experience itself is 4-star. I love historical or old building, it has a rustic cabin feeling. I stay in their "old " section of the building (there are newer one too). Bathroom is shared but it has the touch of luxury, so not that bad honestly. They have great breakfast, they also have musician playing at certain time, friendly staff, you also get a good view of old faithful. I don't give it 5 stars because their fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night at 2am lucky it's not winer. I don't know how often this happens but definitely a minus. I won't stay here in the wintertime for sure.

This is an historic hotel with nice touches but no frills. The lobby is an experience all on its own: vaulted ceiling, live music (violin, piano), large stone fireplace, comfy areas for relaxing. You are right next to the most active geysers in the park and I recommend getting out to see them all, especially early in the morning before it gets crowded. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

I loved everything about staying here! We visited in the summer after the flood, so getting a hotel room was easy and the rates were lower than normal it seemed. You cannot beat the architecture, the quaintness, and the convenience of staying at this hotel. Though the old yellow hotel in the Presidential Suite was the best place we’ve ever stayed here in the park. We camped also. I had bear terrors all night. At Old Faithful I felt safe. If you plan on eating at any restaurants in the park you must have reservations.

Before the Pandemic. My family went on a Vacation on Yellowstone. And we took a tour guide to see Old Faithful at the Old Faithful Inn which is really good experience and I enjoy seeing Old Faithful geyser up. And I also enjoy the tour inside the Old Faithful Inn which is a good architectural of the Old Faithful Inn. And I also got a Cookie which is Gluten Free. So this is one of the best Nature Trip I see. Even though this is a dark difficult time. But when I see the Picture of Old Faithful it will give me hope for a better tomorrow.

Approaching the hotel we saw an impressive log building. The foyer was equally impressive. Unfortunately if fell away after that. They certainly take advantage of their relative isolation and location and charge an exorbitant amount for accommodation- basically a closet that delivered a really poor experience. We booked a queen bed and barely got a double, with tiny flat pillows looking over the back lot of the hotel. Paper thin walls meant a noisy night. The restaurant is a all you can eat abomination that you should stay clear of. A seriously disappointing stay. Go for the experience because that’s all you will get! Would I stay here again? NO! Camp instead and save yourself the expense and disappointment.

This historic inn is awesome! Both grand and cozy at the same time. Our room was an old house queen with private bath, and it was perfect! Clean, comfortable, and so much character. We could even see the geyser basin from our window! I loved hanging out in the lobby and walking right outside to see old faithful, bison, and the upper geyser basin. The bar was great, but I would not recommend eating on site. Bring your own food, and don't come hungry. That was the only downside.

What else can I say other than perfect. As a local I always visit, but I never stayed here. So I decided to try it out and boy was it worth it. When you get your key, someone shows you where your room is for easy access. The beds were very comfy and the view was nice looking down basin. The room was very quiet. It's super convenient, located next to the snow lodge, and only an hour walk to Morning Glory Pool. If you get the opportunity to stay here, please do. You will find your inner peace staying here. A perfect hotel.

This place is so cool! We got one of the "cheap" rooms in the Old House, right off the big historic lobby. This made it noisy until about 10pm, but it quieted quickly. The rooms and beds were nicely furnished. The radiator kept the room toasty; we actually had to open the windows for some cooler air. No private bathroom, but a sink in the room made washing hands and brushing teeth easy. A piano player serenaded with jazz until 10pm, and everyone was helpful.

So seriously no one goes here for the hotel — you go for the geysers!!! But for being built in 1903 there is some major history and wonderment here. The grand lobby is beautiful. The rooms are small and quaint and more than adequate for the little amount of time you are going to spend in them. The staff are friendly and professional and beyond helpful!!!! Go hiking — there are so many wonderful trails to go explore and immerse yourself in all things Yellowstone and Old Faithful!! So yes if you get one of the cheaper rooms — it will NOT include a bathroom. This was not an issue as the community bathrooms were more than satisfactory — we never had issues getting into them for whatever needs — yes the restrooms had private stalls for showers and toilets. They provide robes for you to wear. Bring flip flops! The rooms with private baths were 2.5 times as expensive.

We stayed here in May 2023, very early in the season. The history and nostalgic factor are definitely worth it. Rooms are smaller than average, but your staying in a historic hotel. We stayed in the Old house, which were the first rooms opened in the Inn, there is no I room bathroom, but there are shared bathroom and showers. Things were very clean, they have a free historic tour of the inn, which was very interesting and made the stay even more enjoyable.

DO NOT GO HERE. There was NO communication about what the restaurant was. No one told us that it was a buffet until we sat down. The wait staff were NOT helpful. Our waiter literally just came up to the table and said "I am only here to get you drinks". When we asked for a menu, he said "The buffet is over there, help yourself. But you get a HOT and a COLD beverage included." I'm not sure HOW that was a selling point as all we wanted was water. The food was AWFUL. We could only identify three items there and none of it looked all that edible. We paid $20.00 a plate and only ate half. This was the only terrible experience we had in Yellowstone.

Really neat place to stay. All the pictures are within walking distance of the inn. Just a very cool old building. Don't expect luxury rooms. Rooms are very simple and to the point. But we weren't there to stay in the room. The main lobby and balcony were really nice places to hang out. Very busy place.

Lovely old hotel, with such a great history. We can watch the Old Faithful geyser shoot up from our rooms, or from comfortable porches. We're looking forward to exploring all the nooks and crannies. Loved the live music in the evening.

I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. I had very high expectations for staying at Old Faithful Inn. I love all things National Park and have stayed at or dined at several historical National Park hotels. The history, location, and lobby did not disappoint and are the only aspects why the trip didn't get a lower rating. The room was okay, the service is lacking, and dining was dismal. All while being a super expensive stay. I would look into a different hotel in the park in the future but definitely would never stay at Old Faithful Inn again and would have a hard time recommending it to anyone.

The benefit of staying at this hotel is the location. It is only steps away from Old Faithful and you can also see the famous geyser from the large hotel balcony. We woke up early and walked around the geysers before it got crowded. It made for a memorable trip. It is a older hotel and with a interesting history. We took the tour of the property and enjoyed it quite a bit. We stayed in the "newer" wing on the hotel. The rooms are smaller but adequate and the staff is courteous. It is essentially a two star hotel that with a five star price. You are paying for the location which is hard to beat. I doubt I stay there again, but enjoyed the experience.

Great place to relax and have some snacks/drinks. Recommend trying the huckleberry ice cream. The top deck offers seating with view of the old faithful geyser but make sure to reach ahead of time to get the front row seats.

Best location but the Inn as far as accommodations is nostalgic but still minimalist for the price you pay. On site service is not good at restaurant, food is not good as week considering the average price per person for dinner is about $40pp. Would recommend staying at Snow lodge. Better food, service and rooms unless you really want the nostalgia.

You have to see this place! It’s positively amazing! There’s a tour of it every couple hours starting at the fireplace. I’d suggest spending the day around old faithful geyser. There’s so much to see in this area and so much to learn about the park, its history and the geology of this whole area. We ate lunch at the old faithful inn’s restaurant and it was pretty good. The buffet didn’t look great so we ordered off the menu. Had the bison burger which was good.

We stayed in a 1 Queen Old House room with no bathroom. Hotel was BEAUTIFUL! Room was pretty large, and had a comfortable bed. Big sink in the room. Not having a bathroom was a bit of an inconvenience, but the communal bathrooms were right down the hall and were very clean and updated so it was not a big deal. Highly recommend!

An amazing place. I've heard others seeing it for the first time and can't believe how huge and beautiful the place is. The stone fireplace with a clock. Two floors overlooking the lobby after coming from your room from each wing. An upper deck outside of the second floor to watch Old Faithful and sunrise. Yes there are 2 places to eat, a bar and a gift shop.

Great old time rustic log cabin inn. This lodging more than the others I stayed at in Yellowstone really takes you back in time (Please Note: no WiFi). You can imagine seeing Teddy Roosevelt himself walking the halls. The evening ritual of sitting around the open area facing your fellow travelers while listening to live music is equally amusing to observe as it is to partake. Staying here is truly an experience.

The room was very old and in need of an update, but our main frustration was the lack of food. Given the lodge is in the middle of the park and no where near anything, I would have expected food options available at the hotel. But the options were so limited which meant you couldn't get a reservation. In the morning we ate breakfast at the cafe and it was a very poor standard. Given the cost of this hotel I would expect far better. Such a shame as it has so much potential given the beauty of the main lodge and the location. But certainly can't recommend.

When I found out how much our room cost from my husband I was floored. For $500+ a night, I was expecting something nice. Instead, we were were given a room right next to the exit doors and could hear every step the person made upstairs and didn't sleep. They changed our room with the noise upstairs to a room even tinnier and next to an vending machine.

Okay - there are two separate experiences here. 1) Visiting the Inn and admiring the “parkitecture” and 2) staying in a room here. For visiting, I’d highly recommend the free tours that meet at the fireplace that happen 4-5x/day. The schedule is on a placard near the fireplace. It really is a spectacular building. For staying, I’d recommend NOT here. We were assigned a room in the newest part (built in the 1920s I believe). I felt like the steerage in Titanic getting to that room. Tiny rooms with worn (not simply antique) furniture. The radiator clanked randomly all night and kept waking me up. I slept like poo. For the price point (over $600/night!!) I couldn’t believe the lack of quality. In addition, we were here at the near end of season (late September) and many hotel staff just seemed over it and almost disdainful that the park remained as busy as it was. This is disappointing because for most people visiting Yellowstone & Old Faithful area is a once in a lifetime experience & expenditure. So, visit and spend time at the Inn. Stay elsewhere and save yourself next-day drowsiness and spend the hundreds of dollars you saved on a nice meal or something. Just make sure if you’re in the OF area for dinner you have reservations!

I have not stayed here but took a tour of this place when I visited the park. The Old Faithful Inn is a true gem within Yellowstone National Park, offering visitors a unique and unforgettable lodging experience. This historic lodge, dating back to 1904, combines rustic charm with breathtaking natural surroundings to create an enchanting atmosphere. Upon arrival, you're immediately struck by the inn's impressive architecture, featuring a massive log structure with towering ceilings and a grand stone fireplace in the lobby. The scent of aged timber and the crackling of the fire evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting you to a bygone era of wilderness exploration. In the tour, I got a glimpse of some of the rooms, they are all designed with a rustic aesthetic that complements the park's surroundings. While the rooms may not offer modern luxuries like flat-screen TVs or air conditioning, they provide a genuine sense of immersion in the natural world of Yellowstone. One of the inn's most cherished features is the spectacular view it offers of Old Faithful Geyser. Many rooms and the lobby provide front-row seats to the geyser's regular eruptions, allowing guests to witness this geological wonder from the comfort of their lodgings. It's worth noting that, due to its popularity, securing reservations at the Old Faithful Inn can be a challenge, especially during peak tourist seasons. However, the experience is well worth the effort, offering a true taste of history and the wilderness that defines Yellowstone National Park. In conclusion, the Old Faithful Inn is a historic treasure nestled within one of America's most iconic national parks. It offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the park's natural beauty while enjoying the rustic charm of a bygone era. If you're seeking an unforgettable lodging experience in Yellowstone, this inn should be at the top of your list.

A wonderful place with many interesting thermal features. The steam boat geyser is very colorful in the winter and also it has many interesting steam pools. During the winter this location is accessible only by the snow coaches operated by many tour companies.

This is a basin in Yellowstone National Park 🏞️ with a lot of geysers in it. This looked really active with a lot of geysers erupting. The loop walk around basin was great. The emerald spring was particularly beautiful. Definitely a must visit.

Amazing beauty, diversity of nature wonders, all in one place! Thanks, John, the great guide from Yellowstone Vacation Tours, for making this our first long stop!

One of the places in Yellowstone you should definitely go. Too many active geysers. My picks- Emerald Pool, Steamboat Geyser and Porcelain Basin. The place will smell like rotten eggs due to the sulphur content.

A basin full of geysers. There are 2 parts for the basin, Porcelain basin and Back basin. Both are equally beautiful. Porcelain basin is very big, but you can see complete basin and all the geyser from overlook point. The colors are very nice and unique. On the other, Back basin is not single basin as it has subparts. The steamboat is nice. Since Yellowstone has many geysers like this, you may seem disinterested if you have already seen old faithful and grand prismatic. But trust me it has its own beauty. A nice place to spend some time.

Been here during August 2019 and was my first ever trip to YNP. I found Norris Geyser Basin with all different geysers located there really so beautiful. Mind you... it was really warm walking around there but then again, so typical for being around geysers. I would visit again and again if I could! Wait for the "Steamboat Geyser" to go off 😁 Hope you enjoy my picts.

I feel like steamboat geyser was more majestic than old faithful. Very cool.

If google didn’t limit me from posting all the photos I took I would have put them all! It was so beautiful and there are 2 loops one .6 miles and one 1.6 miles. The loops have totally different gysers and we did both loops! Definitely do them both!

Entire trail loop was just so pretty during sunset! It was interesting and informative to learn about the geothermal features and experience some of them first-hand.

This is a must do part of your Yellowstone Park experience. It’s a big loop to walk and you get bro see a lot of geothermal activity. Stay on the trail. It’s dangerous (possibly deadly) to go off the trail and get close to the scalding hot water/mud! VictorB

You never know what to expect at Norris; Yellowstone'most active region. We were very fortunate to see several geysers, that have long dormant periods, erupting. There are two parts, given the large area but both require you to be in reasonable shape and involve steep hills.

Fascinating to see all this geothermal activity in a whole valley from up close. One can only assume, what immense energy is to be found in the inside of our planet, that water on the surface is cooked in the way to be observed at Norris Geyser Basin at Yellowstone National Park. For safety reasons, guests are only allowed to walk on a boardwalk that forms a circle of about a mile. However, as impressive the large gas clouds may look, they do smell like rotten eggs, but it's still worthwhile seeing this place.

This place is amazing! Easy access to the paths and really cool features. One of our favorite geyser basins during the trip!

Deep blue pools, all unique along the huge lake. Very close to road and worth the trip. Great stop on way to tetons mountain ⛰️ or when making your way from one side of the park to the other. Many people skip this butbi think that is a mistake. It's extra amazing in the morning at sunrise. 🌞

Thumb Geyser Basin is, in my opinion, not the biggest or the best geyser basin in Yellowstone. But it is right next to Yellowstone Lake and has the best surrounding scenery. It also is never as crowded. No getsers shooting towers of water, but many different colors of hot pools and mud pots, too.

Love the nice boardwalk to get around! It let's you get up close and personal with these geysers! Easy walk for kids to get around, strollers and wheelchairs. Some are boiling, some are different colors. You can go down by the lake too! If this review helps you, please give us thumbs up! #crazykleinadventure

This was the first time that my wife and I have visited Yellowstone Park. We are completely in love with this part of the USA, we have visited other great places like the Blueridge Park Way in the Blue Ridge Mountains but that pails in comparison. I was lucky enough to photograph all the animals in my list and even some that We did not know were there. We saw llamas and one camel plus great indian ponies. Best experience of our life! Highly recommended but don't fly, drive! There is no better way to see the country.

I went in the evening and almost had the place to myself. Would highly recommend going early in the morning, or after 8pm. It smells like sulfur and looks like an alien planet. There is a nice boardwalk, and unfortunately you aren't allowed to explore or interact with the hot springs.

This visitor’s center is pretty cool. It’s situated right near Old Faithful. There is a small “museum” area and they also show films about the park and the geyser. There were several park rangers there for any questions. Everything in this area is within walking distance. From West Yellowstone it’s about 30 minutes or so.

The place is amazing. Certainly a big tourist stop. However, it is not very accommodating for older folks. Old faithful requires walking a distance to see. No handicap assistance is available. But It is a wheelchair or scooter accessible.

Good place to visit. There are the restrooms here. The souvenir store is also here. A small museum here that you can check it out during the wait for Old Faithful Geyser.

I was there during the winter. They have the geyser eruption predictions and I didn’t find the staff very helpful with information. I wish the ranger had information about the colorful geysers in the upper geysers basin. They have restrooms and the store was also open. The store had many interesting books about Yellowstone and Yellowstone souvenirs

The Centre was informative and beautiful. Much like many other National Parks Visitors Centres. The Junior Ranger program booklet was $3 for some reason?? We haven't paid for any of the previous 11 Junior Ranger badges or books that my children now have. I would also say that Old Faithful is not that exciting after going to the Painted Pots down the road. What a show we received there. The park is beautiful and the Visitor center is standard. Much more congested than most except.maybe Arches, UT.

11 June 2023 During my stay at Yellowstone National Park I've decided to also visit the Old Faithful Geyser and the Visitor Center belonging to it. Since my visit took place on a Sunday, it was very full there. It was interesting learning something new about Geysers in the visitor center and my 3 year old daughter also enjoyed the information provided to her in the kid's corner. Staff was friendly. The visitor can always see on a chart in the inside, when the next eruption of the geyser is to take place. However, that's not an exact science and therefore it makes sense go be at the observation point 10 min earlier. Due to a strong-headed kid wanting to stay in one of the gift shops longer, we missed the actual eruption of Old Faithful on that day, but still had a good time at the place.

The first national park in the United States, Yellowstone does not disappoint. I got there early in the morning and headed to the visitor center when the parking lot was virtually empty. Touring the boardwalk area around Old Faithful is a must...just like clockwork it erupted right on time. There are several geysers, mud pots, and other natural features and unique ecosystems and habitats to explore. The entire park is worthy of as many days as you can spare to visit.

Definitely stop here and talk to the rangers to get the most up-to-date information regarding the park. Stop and watch the movie. They have a great interactive area to visit. With the huge windows, you can see Old Faithful from inside the visitor center. There is also a small gift shop inside.

Liked the visit. A lot of educational activities. This is where the kids can pick up the jr ranger packs to earn the badges. Overheard the staff person at the counter making a big deal to the kiddo that had completed all their activities, which the kid was very excited about. Very nice of her to recognize that. 15 minute video is educational. Worth a visit. They have a board with approximate eruption times within +/-10 minutes. Can even see old faithful erupt easily from inside. Glad I stopped in.

When the topic of national parks comes up, Yellowstone is easily the most well-known and arguably overhyped. I only stopped there because it was on my route while driving cross country. It's turned out to be the highest of my trip. I would go so far as saying it is an absolute must-see. It's simply amazing.

So beautiful geyser worth waiting visiting central prediction time is perfect if you go weekend or any public holiday it’s crowded crazy busy and there’s are some good seating benches and if you go little bit early you may can see other geyser eruptions because it’s has a some small geyser on the trills it’s a flat wooden path trills and wheel chair accessible to be careful no fence or barriers to the both sides be careful with little kids because it’s a hydrothermal vents

This is a great place to see and learn about the geysers all over this park. Old Faithful is of course amazing but be sure to take the loop trail behind it. That’s so worthwhile. It’s not long or difficult but stay on the wooden walkway. Seriously. That water is boiling and just like you wouldn’t put your fingers in boiling water on your stove, don’t do it here. Otherwise, this is what you come to Yellowstone to see. There’s a simple, but excellent little museum in here and an auditorium. If you’re lucky, Ranger Dave will tell you about geysers and why they’re so interesting and why the ones here are unique. Very good talks.

Old Faithful was fabulous! The people in the center were very friendly and helpful.

Very nice place to stop and take in Old Faithful, and learn a out Yellowstone. They have a 20-minute information video that you can watch before going to explore. Old Faithful Inn is a great place to stay. Stop by the Old Faithful cafeteria for a snack, a coffee at the coffee shop, or a souvenir at the gift shop. A few different hikes are available, and each offers different views of many of the 300 geysers around the area.

Awesome place to visit! Saw Old faithful erupt before the visitor opened. Arrived and people were already sitting waiting for Old faithful. When it erupted it was an amazing thing to see. The walkway is nice and easy for anyone to use. There are many other geysers to see here. Beautiful place. The visitor center is amazing it shows a movie 30mnts before Old faithful erupts and 10 mini afterwards.

A very clean and modern building. In the main lobby they post the next time Old Faithful is going to irrupt plus or -10 minutes. Helpful staff (rangers, Boo Boo! 😉)

Had an informative visit at the Old Faithful Visitor Center! Spent around 45 minutes exploring exhibits about Yellowstone's unique hydrothermal features, life in these environments, and the underlying volcano, and ongoing scientific research. The eruption prediction display in the visitor center is handy. You can gather park information, talk with a park ranger at the front desk, shop for souvenirs in the park store, delve into the natural wonders of Yellowstone in the exhibit hall, or use the restrooms.

An absolute must see! The first time we went it happened to be on a national park day so the entry was free. Didn’t even realized until we got there so that was a cool plus. The park is absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait to visit again!
