You will be driving a lot through the park. As a vacation, plan your dead spaces as much as the high points.
Make sure you visit all of the insane geothermal locations--where they have bacteria colonies in 5million degree springs.
The park rangers, those with a passion, can be a high point--but it depends on a proper pairing with you / your brood or clan.
If it could go there tomorrow, I'd look at a website that rates trails, and find one or two that are longer and go deeper into the wilderness, and do those.
Depending on your background in wilderness and outdoors, it's going to be colder than many might expect.
I didn't, but I'd go out on Lake Yellowstone somehow.
When are you going?
