Soak up that H2Oooooohhhhh...

Soak in the natural warmth of hot springs while enjoying stunning mountain scenery - there’s no better way to relax!

Cave and Basin National Historic Site

Banff National Park - Alberta

The OG!! In 1883, three railway workers found these thermal springs, sparking a series of events that led to the creation of Canada’s first national park. Swimming is no longer allowed at this location in order to protect the Banff Springs snail, which is only found in this one specific spot on earth. Enjoy interactive exhibits, short films, seasonal activities, and stunning views of the Rocky Mountains and then soak in the relaxing thermal waters of Sulphur Mountain at the nearby Banff Upper Hot Springs.
