1299 Tubbs Lane Calistoga, CA , 94515-1055 Phone: (707) 942-6463 Website While not quite as dramatic as Yellowstone's Old Faithful Geyser, this smaller version in California is a spectacular wonder nevertheless. Marvel at the faithful eruptions every 15 to 30 minutes when the geyser blows off steam for a dramatic show of nature. While waiting for Old Faithful to erupt, enjoy the peaceful and beautiful scenery, enjoy lunch in the picnic grounds and visit the petting zoo that's home to llamas, horned sheep, and mountain goats. Learn all about how geysers work in the Geology Museum, free with admission.
