What a magnificent view and experience when you get up there. We went there when it was snowing so it was wet. Might want to bring a pancho in case it t snow or rains. We bought ticket online and printed out our ticket. We also bought a package for dinner at the Sky Bistro as well highly recommend it. We were here in early November and it was not a lot of people at all. We drove up to their parking area. There are 2 parking area. You will need to pay for the national park pass to park there. You can also take a bus from the city. The gondola ride is pretty easy. Seats 4 per gondola. Before you get to the gondola, you will go through a line and they will take a picture for souvenirs. It is the same as when you come down from the mountain. Trying to sell you the experience. When you get up to the top, there is a four story building with exhibits. There is a theater as well. They only complain is I wish they would have documentary about the history of the mountains and the weather station. The hike to the weather station is pretty easy. It is boardwalk all the way up and downstairs if you go during the snow, make sure to dress appropriately and have good shoes for traction. On the fourth floor, there is an observatory deck which you can sit out, and there was fireplace that you can stand around when it’s cold. There is a Starbucks and gift shop down at the valley where you start your gondola ride. I saw two restaurants and a coffee shop and a gift shop at the top of the mountain. Overall cleanliness of the building is very good. All the staffs that works there are very friendly and nice and helpful. Highly recommend buying a promotional gondola ride and a restaurant experience at the Sky Bistro.

Loved this! The gondola ride was great. The view from the top is amazing! The actual trails at the top were closed when visited but there was still space and short trail to walk at the top to enjoy the view. There also an outdoor restaurant at the top. Small line to enter the gondola ride but moved quickly. The staff were also really friendly. Would recommend checking ticket prices online and if trails are open prior to going.

Must Go when in Banff! Great activity with kids!! Super easy hike! I was with my 2 little ones in June. Amazing views all around! May not be wheelchair friendly for the hike but still see the view from the building! Super clean, easy, and safe! If you get lucky you will see some animals!! Highly Recommend for anyone and families!
