LOBBY
Yellowstone’s hydrothermal features have always fascinated park visitors. The “curiosities” of the area—the geysers and other hydrothermal wonders—spurred further exploration and led to the eventual protection of Yellowstone as the world’s first national park. Today these natural wonders draw approximately three million visitors to the park each year.
The new Old Faithful Visitor Education Center, scheduled to open in 2010, will tell the story of Yellowstone’s hydrothermal wonders. Get a head start by exploring the exhibits and interactive media in this virtual version.
Be sure to check our Orientation and Updates page to follow the progress of
the new Old Faithful Visitor Education Center.
