I was disappointed that the only ways to provide feedback were through the online survey and the on-site feedback options. There was no face-to-face feedback available, which made it difficult to address my concerns properly. The online survey felt limited, and the on-site feedback box didn’t give me confidence that my comments would be reviewed. Overall, the lack of direct interaction made the feedback process feel impersonal and ineffective.

Wear good winter foot wear as some area were slippery , and gloves are helpful. The views were spectacular , and walking all the way to the weather shed is a must !

If you’re afraid of heights maybe reconsider 😅 if not the view of the mountains going up is breathtaking!! This was my first solo trip to Banff, and is one of my favourite experiences so far. And the view from the top.. speechless. Dress warm and enjoy the majestic mountains!

Bought a ticket for the Gondola at the admission desk. I was on the first one At 10 am. Not many people queing, girl Was taking photos if you wanted them doing. As it was halloween staff were dressed up. Boarded the gondola and off I went up to An elevation of 2,281m (7486ft) absolutely Amazing. Stunning scenery. When I got to the top I took the lift to the observation deck. There is a wooden boardwalk up to Sulphur Mountain. Becareful It can be icy. Fire pits with chairs and a hot drink bought From the cafe made it a wondeful experience Absorbing this beautiful scenery. There is also a gift shop at the top and when You come down. Any photos can be viewed here. The Gondola trip was the highlight of my holiday. Definitely recommend this.

The gondola ride was fun, lots of wonderful views from above the town of Banff. However, when it was time for us to descend, the employee in the gift shop did not tell us the correct way to exit the building to get back on the gondola for the ride down. She told us to go outside of the gift shop to catch the gondola cars. That was incorrect. We eventually discovered on our own the correct way to exit.
Must do activity

Just been at the beginning of November. Had already booked but f we hadn't, it was quiet and you could buy once there. The view is breathtaking, the Gondola ride is smooth and the hot chocolate was the best! Very lucky having the snow
