Banff National Park of CanadaVisitor InformationPark Pass EntryWelcome to Banff National Park, Canada’s first National Park.

The Park Pass is a permit that allows you to visit a national park. Annual park passes that are purchased in one national park can be used in other national parks during the year for which they are valid. Day park passes are valid for that park or the surrounding Mountain Parks for the period which they are valid. Park pass fees remain in the park or site where they are collected, and contribute towards the maintenance of scenic parkways, day use areas, trails, public safety, information and interpretation services. There are a variety of choices for purchasing park passes: annual, daily, individual or family/group. Specially-priced packages (Discovery Packages) are available for people planning to visit both National Parks and National Historic Sites. For a full price list see FEES. Entry – Annual New!
