Banff visitor centre should be the first place to head when arriving to banff. The staff is very helpful, providing excellent information. what places to see, and must places to see. If one is taking the ONIT transportation up to Banff. The $10 CAD one way trip cost also includes the local Roam bus in the city of Banff. Otherwise . It will cost an adult $2. CAD. This is still a bargain. I highly recommend going to sulfur mountain and taking the gondola or for those that want to save some $$$. It would take nearly 2 1/2 hours to trek up the rough pathway. Is it worth it? YES!!!! I spent a nice day trip to Banff. It cost me $20.00 round trip taking the ONIT transport from Calgary. FYI. It only operates Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It obvious the price is subsidized. If one travels to Banff, Monday to Thursday, expect to pay $45.00 CAD one way. Besides the excellent staff at the visitor centre, The centre has clean restroom. Enjoy Banff, you will not regret it!

Thumb up to this lady, she does an incredible job. I was helped at a nearby counter when she got assaulted by the customer I happen to know as "Hayley Gibb". The Lady remained courteous and professional. When this rude girl became very aggressiv, the lady informed her she would record the conversation for safety purposes, and she suggested her to come back to talk to her supervisor. It's crazy the amount of uncivilized customers these people have to pull up with. I am glad to see the members of Parks Canada and BLLT were supportive of the lady. All these people from the Visitor center are providing an excellent service, it is great to see them working as a community. I was going to leave a positive review when I recognize the situation in another review, I thought I could bring my version. Well done guys!

It’s where nature really praises God. The views are unbelievable, it’s mostly a straight road with clearly marked exits. It cost $21 dollar for our car and we were 3people so I thought that was reasonable. You get a discount for the gondola ride with any Alberta ID (yay locals).. what I don’t get is this culture of taking ride pictures and then charging a whole lot to print it out each, if it was made into a fridge magnet or something I will definitely want it but who wants a hard copy photo for $25 please 🙄🙄. Also visited Lake Louise which was 45mins drive from banff, if you want the lake view go in summer cause it was completely frozen but they built a cute castle on the lake which was cool for pictures and the famous Hotel Fairmont 😍

Update: you can skip the line for the park pass near Canmore and just come here to get it. It's a wonderful visitor centre with nice and friendly staff. Inside, there are public washrooms. They have staff who can provide you with interesting features around Banff. This is definitely a must stop location if you have never been here. They will outline what you can visit and possible trails around town. It was actually staff here that helped us discover the nearby Minnewanka Lake. It's worth taking a drive there, but bring food as it's perfect for a picnic.

After a brief visit to Lake Louise we stopped by Banff for a bite to eat and a little bit of exploration. Nestled between a few mountains this town has fantastic views, and an exceptionally warm environment. Various shops and restaurants line the downtown area providing so many options for you to spend your time in. All the people in the shops we went into were extremely friendly, as well as those in the restaurants. Our time here was brief but I'll be sure to be back. If you're staying in Calgary this is well worth the drive to visit.

Confusing, many steps to walk up. Once at the top it will be crowded. There are two stations to ask questions. You wait in line and find out your in the wrong line, and have to wait in the other. (Hint: the desk to the left is for reservations only. The one to the right is for directions.) Parking is awful. Good luck there. Only really good thing is that the Employees are very pleasant, and helpful. Needless to say Bamff will not see me again.
