People have been paying to see this 'faithful' attraction for over 100 years. It is one of 3 regularly and continuously erupting geysers in the world. The frequency varies over time but about every 10-20 minutes streaming hot water and vapor comes shooting out some 60 ft in the air.
Interestingly, from two days to two weeks prior to an earthquake, the geyser gives warning by delaying its regular performance from the average thirty minutes to a longer interval.

There is also a small petting zoo, snack bar, and gift shop.

Admission price is for all day and you can bring a picnic lunch.
