Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The views from the top are unbeatable and the Alpine restaurant was wonderful for a drink to enjoy the sunset. This is a must do activity when visiting Banff.
We were the first on and we had the entire 4th level deck to ourselves for 15 minutes or so. It is so beautiful seeing a 360 view of all the mountains.
