The Cave in Banff is the birthplace of Parks Canada. That in itself makes it worth a visit. An hour is enough to visit this site, but the entrance fee is low.

The Cave really was a magical place, very beautiful. I also enjoyed learning more about the very small and endangered snail that lives in these sulphurous waters.

I was really impressed by the beautiful video presentation of Parks Canada. Exceptional!
