Banff National Park Fees

Banff National Park, like most national and historic parks throughout the Canadian Rockies, are on a fee based system to support the maintenance of the parks.

Entry and service fees are charged at most national parks and national historic sites, where revenues are kept to support visitor services and facilities. This means that every time you visit a park or site you are investing in its future — and in a legacy for future generations.

The following definitions apply to entry and service fee categories unless otherwise specified:

• Adult: Person 17 to 64 years of age
• Senior: Person 65 years of age or over
• Youth: Person 6 to 16 years of age
• Family/Group: Up to seven people arriving at a national park in a single vehicle or visiting a national historic site together.
• School Groups: Students of elementary and secondary schools.

Fees listed are valid from April 1, 2008 until March 31, 2009. Please check back on April 1 of each year for new and updated fee information. An Asterisk (*) indicates a new or changed fee from the previous year. All fees listed include applicable taxes and are subject to change.
