banff park museum

东西虽然不多，但工作人员很友好。在这里不仅能看到Banff地区及落基山脉出产的生物，还可以学习早期的加西发展史。很有收获。

Very interesting museum which details the flora and fauna to be found in the park with an extensive collection of stuffed animals which once roamed in the area. There is a small fee for entry which is well worth it.

We did not go but the Kids went with the Kids Club at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, they loved it, especially all the stuffed animals, there was a Moose there are they could not get over how big it was, might be the only Moose you see on your trip so might be worth a look.

the journey to Banff from Calgary is as beautiful as the Banff itself. breath taking view of Rockies, Bow river etc all add to the beauty of travel. must see place for anyone visiting Calgary.

This place gives a person a very good amount of knowledge of the animals in this area. The wild animals that are stuffed gives a person a connection that would otherwise be missing if there were only pictures. early morning is best time to visit as you miss the crowds in summer.

This is certainly different from your average modern museum, but for some people this could add to its appeal. The main interest is the large variety of stuffed animals on display, most of which are or were local to the Banff area. It is probably not something that could be replicated now, so from that point alone the museum is worth a visit.

Everything you would expect in a museum dedicated to Banff and the beginning of this resort town.If going, take the time to read the displays and walk the surrounding areas.Parking difficult in the summer.Park on the other side of the river, turn right after the bridge.

Returned this summer with more grandchildren to give them the experience of the Banff Park Museum...of Natural History. There are over 5000 specimens on display, the old fashioned way. The woodwork just gleams with richness. The 1903 structure of BC Fir is indeed a "National Historic Site!" The specimen collection is from the 1914 era. Read on one individual named Norman Sanson (curator 1896-1932) who contributed hugely to its' success. Our 9 and 7 year old grandson's actually stayed calm and studied the displays for over and hour and a half!! There is s small interactive room for children. A must see Canadian Historic Site!

Great art and historical displays. We spent an afternoon here due to inclement weather and leaned a lot we would otherwise have overlooked. The gift shop has great local art. Amazing interactive displays.

This small museum contains a collection of stuffed birds and animals of Banff Park. There are also exhibits of bird's nests with eggs, fossil and minerals of the area. There is a small fee and you can see everything is less than an hour.

After being slightly disappointed in not seeing wildlife in Banff other than one pika and a mostly hidden caribou, it was interesting to see this museum boasting a large collection of the many animals that roam its countryside. The cougar and bears were particularly impressive and scary. Also note - I'm an animal lover and appreciate that this museum absolutely does not kill animals for display. It merely displays animals that were killed and stuffed many decades ago, as part of its goal of educating the public about wildlife. This is very much worth a half hour visit.

Sold as a museum of a museum, the museum has been maintained with its original character since it was built and curated back in the 1800's. My favourite part was the original curator's office, complete with field books and records. Fun and engaging activities provided for the kids, with lots of interesting stuff to look at.

This is a timber building over a hundred years old, and is full of specimens from the old days, when animals were hunted, mounted and displayed. While we really don`t do that today, it is interesting to see the wide variety of animals there, and especially to note the way they were displayed - for instance, ones previously thought to be `nuisance` animals like bears, etc, are mounted in fierce and unpleasant postures. Well worth the time.

One of Westerns Canada's oldest Museums and the oldest surviving building in a Canadian National Park, the building itself was the highlight for me.There are loons and grebes, songbirds, magpies, eggs, wolves, moose etc stuffed and well displayed.The museum is well lit by natural nightMight be worth going to on a rainy day but won't take up much of your time, but the building itself it worth appreciating.

We didn’t read all the plaques outside before going in so we were a little disappointed to find that the museum was an old-style natural history museum. In other words it is full of stuffed dead animals. Call me weird but I prefer my animals alive and in their natural setting. We were expecting some information on the history of the park not a 100 year old taxidermy display.Don’t let my negativity dissuade you from visiting, just be warned about what is inside. The building was built in 1903 but we thought it was much newer. Now I know why Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World looks the way that it does. My favourite part of the museum was the re-creation of Norman Bethune Sanson’s office. Mr Sanson was not only the original curator of the museum he also ran the Weather Station atop Sulphur Mountain (see Sulphur Mountain review).Since admission was only $3.90 Cdn I do not regret my visit, I just wish there was more about the history of the park and the area.
