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!
Helpful little visitor centre with plenty of info about what you can do in the area.
Obviously the scenic view is stunning and did not disappoint. Downtown Banff is very crowded even if we went during and off-season time. Recommend driving out to different viewing points which are located along Tunnel Mountain road, where it's less crowed, parking is free, and it's actually in nature. Great experience!
Gorgeous as always. It was a Saturday and we waited less than 10 minutes to buy our annual pass. The views are breathtaking.
Their customer service is fantastic. The lady that helped us was very informative and had lots of patience helping us plan two adventures. Never did we feel rushed.
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 😍
Great place for everyone. Brings you close to nature and forget everything. Short drive from Calgary. Just the drive itself is worth it. Great small town vibes with beautiful nature as the backdrop.
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!
