Will have this one my to attend next go around, just wanted to get this out there for an item to stop in and experience as I didn't see it listed with all the other items within the Old Faithful area.

Worthwhile to see such a natural occurrence. Would highly recommend to go at least once in your…read morelife to visit it as well as the rest of the Nation's first National Park.

We were there in the morning and came back at 1pm for the Smoke Jumper presentation, which I would highly recommend! All ages would enjoy. Jim was our docent for the presentation. Retired Smoke Jumper. Lots of information and details on the historic 1988 Yellowstone Fire. Pur family waa impressed with the presentation. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful, even answering questions unrelated to the museum. We are all glad we started here at the beginning of our trip. Now when we go into the park, we will notice more! Be sure to explore outside. They have these beautiful sculptures out front!

We found this spot as a point of interest during our trip to Yellowstone, so we decided to stop in…read moreafter having lunch! - PARKING - HUGE parking lot - definitely no worry about finding a spot here! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - When you walk in, you'll see all the pricing and available ticket options on the board above the front desk. We had a party of 12 but luckily we were able to walk in after purchasing our individual tickets. Note they also do AAA and student rates here! - EXPERIENCE - Its not the biggest center but decent enough sized that we spent about an hour to an hour and half here. There's a large bear compound in the center and they do feedings - check out the schedule board so you don't miss it! My next favorite area were the ground squirrels - how adorable!!! I do wish there were more otters to see, but only one was really active and swimming around. - OVERALL - A cool spot if you're driving by Yellowstone and want to support this center!

In between treks into Yellowstone National Park, we took some of the kids to the Grizzlies & Wolf…read moreDiscovery Center, on Canyon Rd just south of the west entrance to the park. It began as a refuge so save several bears and wolves who had to be removed from the wild. Now it also includes otters, ground squirrels, and birds of prey. We observed each in designated habitats. The otters had a pond and tank to swim in. Fake logs gave the squirrels and maybe a groundhog some shelter and activity. We came back twice more, learning to make reservations for the kids to help feed the bears. When the bears were closed off, the kids got to hide food for them under rocks and logs, while a large flock of ravens hunted for anything left-uncovered by the kids or the bears. We saw an owl and a pair of eagles. It was fun! We visited here three times in a week! And they let people use the same tickets two days in a row :-)
