How to have a Family Day weekend you’ll never forget in Banff
Family Day is right around the corner, and Banff is packed with experiences to make it a memorable one for you and your loved ones. To help you decide the perfect way to enjoy the occasion, we’ve compiled of some of our favourite family themed activities that are on offer in the Bow Valley.
Family Fun Package (Banff Gondola Pass + Daily rental of either: Ice Skates, Ice Cleats or Snowshoes)
As the name suggests, this is a brilliant fast-pass to fun for all the family. Start the day by travelling to the top of Sulphur Mountain and experience the breathtaking beauty of Banff from over 2,200 feet up. After taking in the sights and all that the interpretive centre has to offer, head back into town to pick up your skates for an afternoon gliding around on a skating rink or grab your cleats or snowshoes and set off on one of Banff’s incredible winter hikes.
Cave and Basin National Historic Site
A short hop from downtown Banff, experience the birthplace of Canada’s National Parks and learn about the natural and cultural history of the surrounding area at the Cave and Basin National Historic Site. Informative and interactive guided tours run throughout the day, giving you the chance to discover all the hidden wonders the site has to offer. The Banff Winter Carnival also runs every Wednesday-Sunday until the end of March, with activities for all ages, such as curling, ice sculpting and box hockey.
Banff Experience Package (Banff Sleigh Ride + Banff Snow Tubing Pass + Banff Hot Springs Pass)
Let us remove the hassle this Family Day with our most popular package. The day starts with a short trip down to Banff Stables to hop on a traditional, western style sleigh ride across the meadows around Banff. After taking in the spectacular scenary, you can warm up with a visit to Banff’s world famous Upper Hot Springs, and finish up by hurtling down the runs at Mount Norquay Tube Park. Both the tubing and Hot Springs passes can be redeemed at any time throughout your stay, so no need to try and cram it all into one day!
