Banff Information Centre

One-stop town & National Park info

The smart, half-timbered Banff Information Centre houses Banff’s town tourism bureau; that of Parks Canada and is the shop of Friends of Banff National Park, a charity devoted to park enjoyment. If there’s any information you’re short of, one of these organisations is sure to be able to help.

Town information

The town info counter provides all the usual free handouts, but be sure ask for their local walking and driving maps for a good overview of local park facilities. They also maintain an accommodation vacancies board with free phone for local hotels and have a list of private rooms and B&Bs in town; typically $100–150, but often fully booked.

Parks Canada

The Parks Canada info counter +1-403-762-1550; or online, is the best place to run through plans before you strike out into the wilds – at the very least check the daily list of trail conditions and closures posted on the wall.
