Cascade Gardens

The enchanting stone pathways of Banff’s very own secret garden wind through terraced gardens brimming with vibrant flowers, cascading ponds and wooden gazebos polished by the hands of time. A visit here offers a glimpse into history as much as a visual feast for the eyes.

The Cascade of Time Gardens, and the heritage-status Parks Administration Building above them, were built nearly a century ago with thoughtfulness and dedication that is still evident today. A look back towards downtown offers a picture-perfect view of Cascade Mountain standing proudly over Banff Avenue.
