This facility is located right on the northern bank of Yellowstone Lake. A patio out back of the center provides a great view of the lake and the nearby beach can be a fun place to walk along the shore. Inside the center, a museum provides displays of the birds of prey, waterfowl, and other inhabitants of the lake. A bookstore includes many readings of the unique features of Yellowstone National Park and the early pioneers of the area. 

​

• Amphitheater: An outdoor amphitheater located in front of the Visitor’s Center is where park rangers provide nightly presentations on a variety of topics specific to Yellowstone and its unique features.
