Very nice place a bit tacky and touristy though if you are looking for nice views for a fraction of the price go to Norquay ski lifts.
My girlfriend and I went up to view the Nightrise event. The light show and music was fantastic and the narration and native story telling as a moving experience. The only fault I could find was the Bannock samples in the chafing dish were not authentic and rock hard. Eww.
Other than that I highly recommend this event.

Fun ride up Sulphur Mountain, worth the money if you don't want to hike. View from the top is beautiful! If possible buy your gondola ticket ahead of time.
So you paid the cash and made it up here. On the patio, witness the mirrored bear, look around the beautiful 360 degree sights, and relax on the many benches and beach chairs around the firepits. There’s a large gift shop, a small café for quick coffee, and a kitchen restaurant if you are starving and want to splurge.
It's a great ride to get a glimpse of Banff Town and it's surrounding Rocky Mountains. And it's a different story and experience all season long. They have so much to offer from Sky Bistro if you just want to have a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the 360 scenic view from the top. I love coming back here to hike up the easy sulphur mountain trail and delight myself for a free ride down. It never gets old how I feel being up there.
This is where the Gondola drops you. The fourth floor is where you definitely want to be. Breathtaking views of the Sulphur Mountain. They have gas fireplace with sofas where people can sit, enjoy the view and also keep themselves warm because even on a sunny summer day, it can be a bit chilling up there at that height and that much wind. There's also a bar with some limited food menu. However, the third floor has a full service restaurant and a self serve restaurant. There's also a souvenir shop on the second floor (if I remember correctly).
One may also not want to miss the mini theater where they show a film about the Banff. The show happens at regular intervals. While the Gondola allows only two hours on the top, if you're able to get the time extended, one can easily spend more time here.

Amazing journey to the top of the mountain treats you to wonderful 360 degree views of the valleys below and for miles. Can walk around outside on the boardwalk and take lots of photos. Inside is a cafe and shops plus some history and photos of the area, head up early if it’s a lovely day as it will be busy!!
A must go! It is very warm because of the fireplaces on the top floor. The views are amazing. There is restaurant here with reasonable price. Parking could be difficult you either park along the road or be patient to find some one leaving.
