We tried to go there during the day on Saturday, March 16th but it was closed. Too bad as it was very cold that day and needed to warm up after our walk.

Loved this museum, it provided a broad spectrum of exhibits from the locality and was well laid out. I find stuffed animals a little creepy but they are in most museums so I moved fast through that section!

the Banff Park Museum serves as a cabinet of curiosities for Canadian wildlife. Set in a small two-story building, it is stuffed with dead animals brought back to life with shiny, glass button eyes.

Enjoyed our visit here. The museum is not huge by any means. But it does have a lot of pieces. They do guided tours, and we caught the tail end of it. The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

100 year old taxidermist animals of the banff area from insects to bears, bird, elk, fish. surprisingly in excellent condition. the library has some interesting books about the history of the area.

This is a 2-stotry museum. Discounted tickets with the Whyte Museum. Local animals are arranged by species. The ranger will explain the history and provide perspective to understand museum historical importance. Discovery room was very interesting even for adults. Who get to lift those huge horns often? The museum has also a nice collection of historical books.

The Banff Park Museum's building is very nice, it is really authentic in the area. The exhibition is interesting, but not so big. We had a Discovery Pass which was valid here, without that (if there is no guided tour) maybe it is not worth to go inside.
