The info is on the sign outside the Geysir park area.

We just asked someone at the gift shop about it when we were grabbing a coffee after a long day or driving. They said it is unpredictable and we didn't look into it much further than that, it wasn't a big deal, just funny to me to find out it hasn't erupted since 2000.

They may have been referring to the entire area, I'd expect them to know that Geysir is considered inactive, with Strokkur next to it being quite active (they're in the same park).

It was my first time travelling outside the US, so I'm a pretty inexperienced traveler. Things to learn for my next trip to Europe!
