Keeping a kid occupied in Yellowstone National Park is a breeze. Here's our list of the top five all-time greatest things for kids to do in Yellowstone.

1. Spending all your time in the Old Faithful area. It's a great base for your travels, but there's so much more to the Park.

2. Waiting around forever to see Steamboat Geyser go off. Chances are it won't.

3. Stopping in the middle of the road to look at every single animal you see hiding in the bushes (look honey, an elk! let’s stop and admire it!). By the time you see your hundredth bison you'll be jaded.

4. Spending all day sitting on the side of the road, waiting for rare animals such as wolves and grizzly bears (unless you have the patience). Most kids don't. 

5. Mucking around with the environment. The signs warning you not to throw objects in the geysers and pools are there for a reason.

1. Don’t swim in the thermal features. People die in them.

2. Walk on the boardwalks. The signs warning you to stay on them are there for a reason.

3. Mud pots don’t work like mud baths. No matter how alluring you find them.

4. Don’t complain about the egg smell because you’re stuck with it the whole trip. Don't worry -- you'll get used to it.

5. Bison are not afraid to defend themselves, so don’t give them reason to. They're not afraid of cars; they certainly won't be afraid of you.

6. Trash goes in trash cans, not the side of the road.

7. Yellowstone is not "owned" by humans. Think of it this way: Yellowstone is the animals’ home, and you are merely the guest.

8. You won’t find any bears like Yogi Bear in Yellowstone.

9. Don’t randomly walk around in the woods. Every year there are rescue operations for people who underestimate how easy it is to get lost in Yellowstone.

10. Finally, enjoy yourselves during your stay in Yellowstone National Park.
