Reviews
"Drove hours to get here, only to find a sign on the door saying closed for maintenance"
"Super fascinating place for the history of Yellowstone and the region. Very friendly staff. Lots of interesting historical pieces - advertisements, ecology, Native people, railroad, etc. Would love to see more history in the park itself, but this was a nice slow day diversion."
"tours are available during the summer months on Wednesdays.Not really a tourist place... It's a research center."
"Remarkable depth of information about Yellowstone. You have to see it to believe it. Staff is very willing to help find anything about any subject you ask for."
"I know a little about this place because I toured it with one of the structural engineers that helped design it. They have all kinds of technology built into the building. Very impressive!"
