Webb MensahNovember 29, 2018The views are spectacular all year round!!! Price is a little steep but I really enjoyed it!!! Get lunch while you're there for a few more bucks too!!!Upvoted Sep 24
During winter months ride back down is free of charge.
MaximJuly 16, 2018Stunning 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.
Andrew JohnsonJuly 21, 2013Rides 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.
Aileigh KarsonApril 20, 2019It’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.
- HopeMaApril 17, 2014Kids loved the ride and hike to the top - sure there was 3 feet of snow up there in May but that's the Rockies!
- Rob NicholsonSeptember 23, 2019Beautiful views all along the summit boardwalk. Taking the gondola saves you a 2hr hike
Diane LauerDecember 1, 2013Crazy expensive, but the views are amazing. Be sure to go all the way to the Cosmic Ray Station.
Gabriel SeahApril 13, 2018The gondola is slightly less overpriced if you take the deals with lunch or dinner included (time restrictions apply)
- Daniel TojeiraAugust 17, 2013The views of Banff and the surrounding mountains are well worth the ticket price up!
- Derrick BradleyOctober 20, 2010The Starbucks at the bottom of the Gondola is subpar at best; everything else is beautiful.
