Learn All About The Golden Skybridge And Why You Don’t Want To Miss it!

The Golden Skybridge was so much fun!! It is well worth it to plan an afternoon to visit here when you are in Banff National Park .



We got there at 2 and were given a lay of the land. There is a lot of stuff going on here!! Plus you have epic views of the Rocky and Purcell Mountain Ranges throughout the park.







When you get your ticket they will walk you through a map of the park. It is laid out so you start in the play park and from there cross the upper suspension bridge. The ropes course, zip-line, mountain coaster and touch the sky picture point are all on this side of the canyon.



The zip-line will take you back across the canyon so if you want to do that first you will have to rewalk across the upper suspension bridge to get back to the other side of the canyon for the mountain coaster and the ropes course.



We did our activities in this order so we could end with the zip-line. However in hind sight we would have done it differently due to the weather. When we got there it was a beautiful sunny day. But you are in the mountains and the weather quickly changes!



When we were ready to do the Zip-line – what most of the kids were the most excited about. It started to get windy and rainy and there was a chance they would have to shut down the zip-line for the day. For this reason I would recommend if the weather is good and the zip-line is a top priority for your group go do it first thing!



Here is the order we did everything:




Play Park



Upper Suspension Bridge



Mountain Coaster



Touch The Sky Picture



Ropes Course



Zip-line (had a 30 minute delay due to weather)



Food



Rock Climbing

Getting To The Golden Skybridge Park



The park is about 2 hours away from downtown Banff. But it is a beautiful drive! You can also spend 4 hours here so the drive is worth it. You could also add a late night stop (when parking is available) at Lake Louise to your day.



Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is also in the area if you want to add that to your trip.



The park is located at 503  Golden Donald Upper  Rd Golden, BC V0A 1H0. Conveniently located only two minutes from the Trans-Canada Highway.

@crazyfamilyadventure Things To Do In Banff National Park: Golden Skybridge Ok this one isn’t techincally in Banff National Park but is a scenic 2 hour drive to the town of Golden. It is worth it and once you get here plan to spend at least 3-4 hours if you want to participate in all of the activities. If you don’t want to do all of the activities you can just pick and choose the ones you want to do and it would be a much shorter stay. We did the following: Treetop Play Park – a few things our teens could do but a weight limit of 120 on the zipline so be aware of that. Upper Sky Bridge – a crazy walk on a sky bridge across a 500 foot deep canyon! We said we all felt like Indian Jones
