Gardiner Chamber of Commerce

Reviewed By TheRealRangerBill - Richmond Hill, United States

The folks here were very nice, even after being asked the question, "where are the restrooms?" about a zillion times a day. The CofC is right in amongst the businesses near the north gate of Yellowstone, and they have the only public restroom available. It was clean and they do have quite a bit of information available about Gardiner in their visitors center area.

Canyon Visitor Education Center

Reviewed By jesseo582 - Jackson, United States

Visitors often have trouble visualizing the Yellowstone hot spot, especially with internet sources screaming “the Supervolcano is overdue” so frequently. Yellowstone volcanism is presented in perspective here with nature, media, art, Native culture and earthquakes in a most educational balance. Often visitors only allow themselves one day to see the park and so have to miss the visitor centers. Please plan ahead for several days and take advantage of this outstanding resource to help appreciate the wonders of the park much better.

Old Faithful Visitor Education Center

Reviewed By billandgeorgeanna - Lake Havasu City, United States

We always start our visit at the Visitor's Center and if they have a video or two spend the time to watch before we tour the area. They had a great video on the history which ended just in time for us to get a great spot to watch Old Faithful.

Grant Visitor Center

The Grant Visitor Center is located on the shore of the West Thumb of Yellowstone Lake one mile off of the main park road at Grant Village Junction. The visitor center and development are named for President Ulysses S. Grant, eighteenth president of the United States, who signed the bill creating Yellowstone National Park in 1872. The facility was constructed during the 1970s and, along with the entire Grant development, was and is a controversial Yellowstone development due to its location in prime grizzly bear habitat (the area is the location of several major cutthroat trout spawning streams). The visitor center hosts an exhibit that interprets fire's role in the environment, using the fires of 1988 as the example. The Yellowstone Association has a sales area in the lobby of the visitor center.

Albright Visitor Center and Museum

Reviewed By jesseo582 - Jackson, United States

Many visitors to Yellowstone from the north make a beeline for the apparent springs and are disappointed that’s all they can see. The more curious ones purchase a map and see where the boardwalks lead to other active areas but also alongside many historic areas of travertine deposit. But those who take advantage of the visitor center not only learn where the most active areas are, they also learn the area has constantly been changing for a long time. It’s not less active than 50 years ago, just constantly evolving. The unexpected joy is discovery of unimagined museum displays lending context to the park at large. Visiting here can get your holiday off to a more informed start.
