CAVE AND BASIN

Cave and Basin
Courtesy Travel Alberta

Come and see where it all began! The Cave & Basin is where the warm mineral waters were first discovered by three young railway workers. Walk through the interpretive centre and watch a re-enactment video of how Canada's first national park came to be. Experience the "cave" and "basin", home to the rare Banff Springs Snail.

Boardwalks lead you to the warm, bubbling springs and a quiet marsh where you can find many kinds of birds and tiny fish. Tours are daily in summer and on the weekends in winter, beginning at 11am. This facility is wheelchair and stroller friendly and has a large parking lot. The Sundance Bistro opens in May for the summer.
