the old faithful itself is nice and faithful. The real nice thing is actually its nearby short walks (easy walk on board). One can see many interesting geysers and pools... more

We stayed at the Old Faithful Inn on our Yellowstone trip, and were lucky enough to catch an eruption of Old Faithful shortly after the sun rose. Guess how many people were watching it? Three: Dh, myself, and one other gentleman taking pictures. A great way to avoid the crowds; hit this before 9 or after 7 and it's way... more

Since its one of the only predictable geysers in the park, if you want to see something erupt, this is probably your best bet. The eruption only lasts a couple of minutes, so make sure you have your camera ready. There is plenty of seating near the geyser and plenty of parking. The gift shop nearby has a clock with... more

We've all known about Old Faithful since elementary school so it is a "must see" for everyone coming to Yellowstone. Luckily we were there in mid-May so it wasn't too crowded [maybe 500 people]. One can only imagine how crowded it would be in season judging by the amount of seating provided. This was our least favorite attraction in all... more

Of course, a must see for Yellowstone...best geyser we saw! Only complaint was extreme crowding and nasty tourists around Old Faithful, definetly a must see. more

My husband and I spent last week in Yellowstone and had an amazing time. However, this was our least favorite attraction. There is so much hype about the geyser that people pack the area when it is predicted to erupt. If the geyser has not gone off by the predicted time, people start complaining about how its "late". Then there... more

You haven't seen Yellowstone until you have seen Old Faithful, it is the highlight of the park. It is the easiest of all the predictable geysers since it goes off every 90 minutes. The area around Old Faithful is very nice, there is a big viewing platform and plenty of benches, but it fills up, so make sure to get... more

If you are staying outside of the park in West Yellowstone, it's a quick drive. As you enter the park, there is plenty of wildlife (if you are there in the summer before it gets too hot). We entered the park around 8 AM, and there weren't too many people by Old Faithful, so it was nice not to battle... more

After spending a weekend in our 5th wheel up north searching for wildlife and watching the magnificent elk bugling/mating show, we decided a trip to Yellowstone would not be complete without a show at Old Faithful... Upon arrival, we were sorry to find that we had 40 minutes to burn until the next show. It was starting to rain and... more
