I really enjoyed going to this museums. It has mannequins of wide variety of wild life species. It has a discovery room where you can touch thorns of animals and has a reading room too, if you wana grab any of their books and read. You not get parking if you go in this season.

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.
This is as much an historical sight as a museum. It the old collection of mounts from very early in the history of Banff park. By modern standards it may be a little strange, but it is a wonderful collection, full of beautiful specimens, in a beautiful building, and is a great slice of history and natural history. I would...
