20. Shop ‘Til You Drop In Banff Town

Shopaholics will love all the little shops that sell artisan items from the area. Shop for handmade clothing, outdoor gear, interesting souvenirs, and much more. Even if you aren’t big on buying things, window shopping is a relaxing way to unwind from a long road trip or bustling tour. Don’t miss the main drag or the visitor center. You can even park on the street.  

 

21. Soak In The Hot Springs

After an adventurous day in the park, unwind in the welcoming Banff Upper Hot Springs. This big outdoor pool is not only full of warm water, but it overlooks the forests and mountains below it as well. Soak in the warmth and the stunning view of the setting sun.

Ah, but this is more than a relaxing activity, it is also one that’s reasonably priced. It’s CAD 8.30 per person. If you don’t take your own towel, you can rent one for an additional CAD 1.90. In fact, you can actually rent swimwear if you didn’t think to pack your own.
