Fantastic spot to stop in Banff and take a break to relax and take in the views. The entry fee is very affordable, and even more affordable when you go check out the nearby Cave and Basin historical site as well. We went twice during a weekend winter trip to the Banff area.
Highly recommend for anyone heading to banff especially in winter. Can get pretty packed full of people though.
We always come here because it's the nearest hotsprings we have but it strongly smells of clorine and I've also fallen pretty bad in the change room and staff wasnt even aware because of how busy it was. The natural views are magnificent though!
It was really nice to relax at the hot springs with my family. We go to the hot springs every time we visit Banff and we love it every time!
Be careful you have to pay for a parking lot but no one talks about it ... a little rip you know and you have an opinion on your car but you do not know where to pay a shady price. Otherwise the bath is nice.
a good view and temperature and a quality souvenir shop
Beautiful hotsprings. Facility is top notch and high level clean. Couldn't ask for a better location or view.
Beautiful place , went on the gondola ride close by wonderful view! Stayed at the Rimrock Hotel close to here, again beautiful, everything around here is perfect.
Great hot springs, very busy during the summer time. Can rent towels and bathing suits there if needed. Staff is very accommodating.
Always a line but it never lasts more than 15mins tops. Amazing suits you can rent and towels so it's a great place to stop in at on a road trip or to travel to with friends and family. A small pool for the kiddos and deep for the adults. Sitting rests along the entire pool!
We went to this place 1st after driving 13 hours from Portland and it was the right decision. A quick shower and a short break in hot spring water definitely help you recover from long driving. RV parking was easy and I recommend doing this before you check in to RV campground. A perfect place to visit for a comfortable 1st night in Banff for RV campers.
The bounce Hot Springs are awesome if you go to chance and you going by don't hesitate to stop
Relaxing hot spring close to the gondola. Although it was about 10am, it was fairly busy and limited space in the pool.
Nice hot spring spot in winter, just take 1.5hrs from Calgary.
Go there if your resport does not have one like that. Too many people dirty water
Amazing place for the price and the scenery! The change rooms are clean and up to standard.
Really nice place , clean and cheap to chill for a few hrs with friend and family !
Very crowded and smelled chemically chlorinated. Overall we were disappointed.
its realy awsom to be here ... Its amazing view overhere .
Great hot springs. Must come here if you visit banff
An absolute pleasure and must do after a long day on the slopes or just being outside in general. Very relaxing experience.
It was crowded anyway because I went on Sunday and it took more than 15 minutes to enter.
Naturally, I can't taste the hot spring feeling because I wear a swimsuit.
It's like a heated pool.
However, it is quite comfortable as you enter the open-air bath when it is cold.
There is a shared dryer, but we are waiting for your turn.
On the way back you can call a taxi at the exit.
Not what I expected. Just a very warm swimming pool with too many people in it
It was pretty busy considering it was dinner time. Very hot, 39C. Don't think of it as a swimming pool, but rather a huge hot tub. Had ice cold showers beside the pool to help cool off between soaks. $1 for a locker and $22.50 for a family for entry. A bargain and must-do while visiting Banff!
Oh my god, the water was so NICE! The intake staff were psychotic though, never cracked a smile, were absolutely unhelpful, and straight up at one point yelled at everyone waiting in line to shut up. They were crazy.
39 degrees water great mountain view, a place to relax. gets crowded though...so don't swim there.
Enjoyed this place very much! Good price, decently clean change rooms.
Mandatory stop at Banff plus they rent retro swimsuits
Service was great as staff was super friendly. Locker was big and even had a swim wear dryer. Only complaint was the hot spring was a bit on the small side and can get pretty crowded.
Was closed during our last visit.. outside views are nice though
Even though we were kicked out because of a thunderstorm, we really enjoyed our 40 minutes bath. They should embigger the place though.
If you like hot tubs, great views, and musical chairs this place is perfect you. Just make sure when you see a spot open quiet literally sprint to it because if not in 5 seconds flat that spot is gone!
We drove 2 hrs to get to the hot spring pool and there was a CLOSED sign on the door! 'Sorry for the inconvenience'. NOTHING mentioned on the website. Seriously ????
Beautiful scenery, water the perfect temp and we'll needed at end of day after lots of walking ;_ slept well after :)
Maybe you should post your temporary closure on the Web site so people don't waste there time driving there. Bloody pathetic
One of the best places to relax in Banff national park. Natural Hot Springs in a cold winter day. +40 degrees water temperature in -20 degrees day. It's worth visiting
Looks like a large hot tub. Would be nice to make it looked more nature.
Very busy place. The water was not the cleanest last time we went. The view is spectacular.
One of the few places to hang in Banff that's awesome and affordable. Just don't spend too long in the tub!
Clean and well kept! Try and go during not busy hours!
Nice and deep warm pool. I went in tourist season and was grateful to go later in the night when the families had mostly left. I didn't get to see the view but I can imagine this place is nuts during the day. This is a real gem and not to be missed if you are in Banff. It's clean and well maintained.
Great place to relax in a hot pool surrounded by the mountains. Free locker token with admission. Parking can be a challenge on busy days/times. You can drop off people at the top and there are a few handicapped spots available by the entrance.
Great view,nice place,but very popular so too many people.
A must visit in the Banff area. After a long hike the hot springs were a wonderful way to relax. Extraordinary value at approx $7 per adult to get in.
This is a spring fed outdoor pool much like you'd find in a hotel or apartment block. The water was 39C so think of it as an oversized jacuzzi. There are separate changing facilities with lockers which are a doller for every time you lock the door. Some reviews here say they found the changing rooms to be clean. I disagree wholeheartedly with this. The floor was dirty, the toilets (the urinals were right next the showers by the way and also in an area designated as shoe free) were dirty, the sink I used was dirty, even the locker was dirty. I'm no clean freak but a lot could have been avoided by a single member of staff attending to the above mentioned. The 'hot spring' itself was fine, though overcrowded. The pool capacity stated a maximum of 205. We were nowhere near that but it still felt very over crowded. I'd hate to be there when it's at capacity. In fact, the only reason I'd suggest going there at all is if it just so happens to be the middle of winter and snowing and they're open and not at capacity. This would be purely to experience the joy of swimming in warm water outside while it's snowing all around you. If it's not any of those things then stick to your local pool or jacuzzi and save yourself the long trek from the makeshift parking line you'll have to use as the parking lot itself takes about 2 and a half cars and fills up 30 seconds after the place opens in the morning.
Looks very nice even though we went while it was snowing. We went during the week and it was very crowded. Never got a chance to go back actually get in since we were staying at Calgary and it's a far drive even if it is one of the closest things in Bnaff to Calgary
The view and the warmth of hot springs make this place magical. Even the smell of sulphur is just enough to connect you with mother earth, not to much to make you noxious.
Just a hot pool with chlorine in the wather. Too much people in the pool for me and it could be cleaner!
Excellent if you really enjoy sharing small pools of water with hundreds of strangers.
Pretty awesome views, just note that it will still not the greatest for small kids since it is always busy and the pool is full.
Small, so try to avoid weekends or evenings if possible. Lockers require a loonie which is not returned after use. Staff are very friendly and the building is very charming. Definitely a great place to unwind on a cold day.
Nice natural place. Parking always a problem. Sulphur hot springs always a welcome.
First time there went in the end of april and was super busy we didnt get to go in the pool but tried the little restaurant and the food was good not horribly overpriced and there were plenty of shops in town for anything your heart desires
It is very relaxing after a busy day in Banff. Staff are friendly and it is usually clean (except for the long weekends that it is packed with tourists).
I had an awesome experience here. The water is a perfect temperature for a relaxing time. The open air and mountains make it picturesque.
The view is beautiful. The facilities are a bit dated. It just doesn't have a luxury feel, but everything is clean and staff was friendly
The place was packed, so we just had a nice stroll and enjoyed the mountain view
It was much too crowded so we ended up not going after all. It was disappointing considering we had made the trek up there on a cold misty day and it was a world famous attraction. But we did not want to waste our precious time waiting for the pools to clear out. The hot springs in Jasper are much better.
Been here a bunch of times. It s usually pretty busy unless you go early morning. But we went when we had that cold snap of -30. And it was actually awesome. We were a little worried, but I highly recommend a frosty dip. The water is always hot and frozen hair is always cool.
Came all the way from Hamilton Ontario to experience it ....speachless...
Nice pool with a convenient shallow pool area for little kids.
Impressive! Water at 39 degrees high on the mountain.
It gets crowded but fortunately we were there in the shoulder season and got to soak in the scenery while we soaked in the hot springs.
Too crowded for a small area. View was spectacular.
