Location Information
Old Faithful Visitor Center, Located only 200 yards from Old Faithful Geyser, the Visitor Center is situated between the Old Faithful Inn and the Old Faithful Lodge with a wonderful view of one of the most recognizable features of Yellowstone. A 100-seat auditorium provides the setting for daily showings of Yellowstone Revealed, a 14-minute film that reveals newly discovered life forms and the associated benefits to society through new breathtaking footage of the park. Evening ranger-led programs are presented here during the summer and the winter seasons. The Yellowstone Association (A nonprofit that funds and provides educational products and services for Yellowstone National Park) sales outlet here provides the largest selection of their merchandise in the park.Two adjacent buildings complete the visitor center complex. Both were built as satellite theaters, but are used today for a variety of purposes. One is a multipurpose building that is utilized as a Warming Hut in the winter. The other is occasionally used for presentations. Backcountry Office & Clinic:
The combination ranger station, backcountry office, and clinic are located across the west parking lot from the visitor center. This facility also houses the office of the District Naturalist and the district library. Call 307-545-2750 for more information.
