Tour an underground thermal pool. Pretty cool, even if you can't swim there any more. Interesting history.

Sulfur Mountain is where Parks Canada was formed and started. Many of our national parks we're discovered only by Railroad during the late 1800s. There is a strong connection between this mountain park and the native aboriginal people that lived here. You must always remember the sacred connection between this land and its people.

Great spot to spend a rainy day when camping with the kids. My kids like going here and checking it out. In the winter they had some fun outdoor activities for the kids as well. It is small and you could probably wander through it all fairly quickly, however our kids like to take their time and curl up for a bit with a book in the little reading area when we visit.

The cave is super small and only takes a minute or two to experience but definitely worth the visit during Canada's 150th because it's free. Otherwise I wouldn't spend more than a few bucks for admission here. The viewing decks give you a beautiful view of the mountains too.

Was a very interesting place and I learned a fair bit. The staff seemed enthusiastic to teach me about the history of the place

Very interesting experience where we got to see the first national parks site. There was no admission fee. The cave was pretty amazing with its sulphur hot spring, mini waterfall, and smell too lol!

4 stars because there was no food or snacks close by. But other than that. Amazing place to see the history of one of Canada's first national parks. The cave is very small takes about 30 seconds to walk into the main cave part. Amazing beauty though. There is board walks to see the wildlife and rooftops for pictures. Enjoy the smell :)

This is the humble beginning of Canada Parks that was practically a hot spring vacation spot. There is a multi-media gallery showing its brief history, nicely done though not much depth. The cave is again like a hot spring pool and was probably used that way. It is nice to visit when admission is free for Canada 150 celebration. Otherwise admission fee is better spent elsewhere in my opinion.

Went here for a concert in the cave event. Parks staff were awesome and extremely informative. They know a lot of information and can answer a ton of questions not only of the cave but other areas as well. Also you can see the Banff Snails that live in the hot springs, An Endangered Species only found in a small pool of water. This spot has some amazing scenery as well.

Do you like the smell of sulfur? No? Well it's worth it! Birthplace of canada's national parks. Be wary though, they have short and strange hours.

One of nicest hot springs in Alberta. There is a small museum to demonstrate about the history and geography of the place.

Great place for the family to visit. The cave was smaller that what i expected. Some artifacts and interactive display. Dont forget to go to the top and walk around the boardwalk. Bring some microspikes if your planning to do some extensive hiking.

Great place, with spectacular view. It was free cause canadas 150 birthday. Took just over an hour too see everything. You can spend more time here. It was pretty icy so be careful. Great for family, couples and kids.
