Well what can I say, Jaw dropping, out of this world and just an amazing adventure, Cable rides to the top of the Rocky Mountains, walking up mountains observing wildlife including 21 elk coming out of a clearing and the most beautiful lakes I have seen! I would highly recommend walking up the right hand side of Lake Louise towards the beehive and walking past Mirror Lake and to the cafe at the top. Breath-taking to say the least. 100% is a destination that must be visited.

After seeing the Canadian Brass play at the Eric Harvie Theatre on the long weekend, you realize how amazing it is to have the Centre and the theaters so close. What a great venue and performance.

A great facility for us locals and all. Fully equipped awesome gym, sauna, pool and basketball court. When winter is at its coldest and Netflix just isnt doing it, off to the gym we go, to smash out some routes on the indoor climbing gym or relax in the hot tub. The Banff centre is apart of Banff as much as the natural paradise that surrounds it. Great people and a awesome restaurant also gives it 5 stars for me. The amount of movies watches at Max Bell and Great times altogether had there, will always mean alot to me.

The Banff Centre is a lovely place to study 'far from the madding crowd". I studied Musical Theatre there in the summer of 1982 and am still in touch with many colleagues from that experience. Howard Cable, our Musical Director, is still conducting orchestras across the country! I've been back twice to tour the campus, most recently in April 2014, and it's still a magical place to stay, study, or attend a conference.

I stayed in Banff for visiting the Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountains (particularly Lake Louise). This is a very nice and small town, with a great environment surrounded by nature, mountains and wildlife. It is perfect for couples.

Make your way up Tunnel Mountain to the Banff Centre. Their Rec Centre is the best in Banff. They even have a climbing wall, actually a whole complex. Dining rooms are top notch.Check out the art musuem.Grab a book and check out the fantastic views from their library.

We stayed at the Banff Centre during the Mountain Film and Book Festival, and found it very convenient and good quality accommodation. Free covered parking was available as well as WIFI connection. The room was clean with comfortable beds, lots of storage space and a small fridge. There was a lounge down the hall with arm chairs and a kitchen area--a good place to take a break in the afternoon with a cup of tea. The buffet restaurant upstairs seemed overpriced and designed for groups, so we ate breakfast (and other meals) at the Maclab Bistro in a nearby building. Downtown Banff is a short pleasant walk from the centre. Reasonable price, good location and comfortable--you can't ask for more in Banff.

I was in town for the mountain film festival, the place was packed, but I liked the availability to all the films that were playing as well as The Club for the bands.

Beautiful arts center in the Rockies! Easy to find, easy to find my way around, great food in the new restaurant (sorry...can't remember the name but LOVED the vegan choices). Visited for the Mountain Film festival. Well organized, easy respite.

Had a great skiing holiday with the whole family here. Nice resort etc. Did the black slopes - horrifyingly! Only downfall was my age as I was under age to drink here. It wasn't that friendly towards children/ families in a couple of bars where they served alcohol - very strict, we were not allowed to just sit with the adults whilst they had a drink - we had to leave, so this spoiled the holiday a little, bit of a dampener. My sister and I found a local shop though and an older holidayer to get us beer =D so we chilled out on the snow and had a cheeky one! We were young ha I don't think I would specifically come back here to skii, although I did really enjoy the skii-ing and snowboarding here, it was great fun, they had a good park to skii and board on like a skate park type set up, I think I would go to Austria, Obergurgyl, again, instead.

I stayed at the Centre for a conference in early June 2014 and I had the most amazing time. The place is buzzing with creative energy and there are unbelievable views from all over the campus, including the meeting rooms, the restaurant and the bars. Accommodation is good and the food is excellent. Banff town is a 15-minute stroll down the hill. Overall, The Banff Centre is a special place that I hope to go back to one day!

Amazing food and scenery. Slightly removed from Banff, but has everything needed. Loved it, and the people are so helpful and nice!
