Fire destroys structure at Old Faithful Geyser site in Calistoga

Calistoga’s Old Faithful Geyser is Open! The recent fire stayed to the borders of the property causing little to no damage to our Geyser and Park Facility. All of our Animal Friends are safe and accounted for. We will continue to greet guests from around the world to view Nature’s Spectacular Performance and use this unfortunate event to improve our facility, beautify our main entrance, and give our guests more to enjoy!
