Free Museums in Jasper

"Ride the Jasper Sky Tram for views across Jasper National Park, then stop at the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum for an introduction to the area’s history. Pick up a picnic at Bear’s Paw Bakery and drive to Maligne Canyon to hike through the deep limestone gorge."

"Due to its remoteness and overall lack of development, Jasper boasts amazing views of the stars, galaxies, and constellations often difficult to see in more urban areas. If you’re an amateur stargazer or just prefer comfortable reclining seats to craning your neck or laying on the cold ground, then the Jasper Planetarium is one of the best things to do in Jasper that you won’t want to miss. Located in Jasper National Park, the planetarium’s trained guides will lead you on a virtual tour of the galaxy and explain a few of those mysteries of modern science, like the aurora borealis – or northern lights."

"Our original plan was to have lunch at the Lake House at Maligne Lake and then have dinner at the Maligne Wilderness Kitchen. However, our waffles from the Waffle Hut filled us up so much that we changed our plan and had lunch at the Maligne Wilderness Kitchen and then headed into Jasper for dinner instead. But, if you are hungry for more than a waffle while at Maligne Lake, the Lake House is owned and operated by the same company as the Waffle Hut and Maligne Wilderness Kitchen so I would expect the food to be quite good."

"Lake Edith and Lake Annette are two of Jasper’s warmest lake, so they’re perfect for an afternoon swim on a hot summer day. They are very easy to get to as well, just 10 minutes outside of the town of Jasper. While Banff National Park provides some of the most photogenic lakes in the country, Jasper takes the cake for being beautiful AND accessible for some good old summer swimming!"

"Two picturesque kettle lakes are remnants of the large glacial lake that covered the entire Athabasca Valley during the last ice age. They sit in the shadow of snow-capped mountains and rolling green pine forests and are must-visits for anyone thinking about going to Jasper National Park."

If you're working on your action shots, bring a friend and scope out some of the popular cliff jumping spots to capture a jump in action. A lazy swimmer works just as well, too!"
