    Stunning Views. No dogs allowed. Hike up took me 2 hours, down one hour less. Earn the views up there by hiking - you might be able to see some wild animals also. Take bear spray just in case.

    Rides back down are free after 630pm. If you hike up, try and time it so you can catch the ride back down for free. This will save you the $16 one way ticket.

    It’s beautiful but way overpriced. I went in April and would definitely choose to go in warmer weather next time so I could enjoy the nature more and do more at the top.

    Kids loved the ride and hike to the top - sure there was 3 feet of snow up there in May but that's the Rockies!

    Beautiful views all along the summit boardwalk. Taking the gondola saves you a 2hr hike

    Crazy expensive, but the views are amazing. Be sure to go all the way to the Cosmic Ray Station.

    The gondola is slightly less overpriced if you take the deals with lunch or dinner included (time restrictions apply)

    The views of Banff and the surrounding mountains are well worth the ticket price up!

    The Starbucks at the bottom of the Gondola is subpar at best; everything else is beautiful.
