Description
Cave and Basin National Historic Site is the birthplace of Canada's national park system, where sulfur hot springs were discovered in 1883.
The cave, with its turquoise water and limestone walls, delights visitors with its unique character, while the historic bathing pavilion from 1914 is an architectural gem. This place has been important to the indigenous people for 10,000 years.
Visitors can admire the endangered Banff Springs snail, found only here, and explore interactive exhibits on environmental history and indigenous culture.
