Banff Park Museum is a History Museum at 91 Banff Ave, Banff AB, Canada

The Banff Park Museum is a National Historic Site in the town of Banff, housed in a handsome 1903 log building, the oldest natural history museum in western Canada. Inside, a beautifully preserved Victorian-era collection of mounted animals, birds and specimens from the Rockies fills the lantern-lit galleries, a window onto how the natural world was displayed a century ago. A charming step back in time.

  • go at the the beginning of your trip so that way you are familiar with the local wildlife and can identify the animals you will see in the parks easier :)
