- jsd26Cardiff, UK126 contributionsA twisty climb in the car up the the mountain road rewards with a great view of Banff town, Mt Rundle and Vermillion Lakes.Written December 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- bellathexplorerWinnipeg, Canada40 contributionsWe were planning to go to the Cascade of Time Garden but unfortunately, there was no garden during our visit (April 14). The place offers a spectacular view of Banff Avenue and Cascade Mountain.
[Located just after the Bow River Bridge, at the end of Banff Avenue. Simply push open the steel gate to access the place.]Written April 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The BIG ATTRACTION here is actually the view of the surrounding mountains/valley/town below.
I would give the old station 2 out of 5 stars and the view from there, 10 out of 5 stars!!
If you are able bodied then the walk from the gondola to this viewpoint is extremely easy. Even for elderly - it should not pose too much difficulty as long as they can go up and down stairs.
There are MANY stairs going both up and down along the route with quick a number of places to stop and view the mountain.Written October 24, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was night/early evening when we stopped so there was no one in line. The next day we drove by and the line was long—decide whether waiting in line for a picture is worth your time or go at a time when there is no one else around. May do, not a must do.Written November 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ben BCalgary, Canada14,130 contributionsTucked away in the lower floor of Glyde Hall is this great place that exhibits amazing contemporary art. The halls are very spacious with great lighting, and they get fascinating shows in. We were at the Banff Centre to take in the Mountain Film Festival, and popped in to see was on offer. Staff were helpful and friendly, and very campy exhibit really complemented the films at the festival.Written November 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,490 contributionsA handy place to stop along highway 1 to see Mount Rundle, and others, with big wooden fingers pointing each mountain out. Well worth 15 minutesWritten May 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
