Frank Slide Interpretive Centre

Stunning displays and views! This centre is laid out in such a way that you always feel like you are looking outside.
They have a beautiful path you can hike on outside, just be aware that it starts out fairly accessible (wide, well maintained but with a gravel surface) and transitions to uneven gravel steps and steeper slopes, until it finished with a “trail” hike back up (narrow dirt foot path with roots along a steep slope). You could always turn back and go to the wider path. This isn’t a knock against the path - I personally thought it was beautiful and nice to see all the different types represented in one adventure, however if you have mobility challenges it concerns be aware ;)

The center is totally worth it. It takes about 1.5 hours as it includes two short films in a nice theatre. Kids has lot of fun as there was a lot to learn, great stories, kids coloring station ample parking & washroom and the best part is the amazing view of the whole slide & turtle mountain from the centre. Check out the images/videos I have added & follow for more.

Beautiful place with an amazing sad story to visit even in cold winter weather.Very nice and welcoming staff.
I would also like to specifically appreciate Henry’s efforts as a wonderful guide! He is highly informative. Especially his historical insights gave us true essence of this beautiful city.If I go there for the second time it would be only because of him.

My first time visiting Crow’s Nest Pass and I’m enjoying learning all the history around me. The Centre is very informative and has many educational exhibits.

Obviously closed due to COVID but I’m really looking forward to it all being open again so we can come back and enjoy the experience. I remember coming here years ago on a school trip - and it being super memorable and a cool experience. My husband had never been here before so I’m hoping we can experience it all together soon.
