This was a fair sized visitor centre serviced by very friendly, helpful staff. We enjoyed looking at the displays and information about the area. Nice, clean toilet facilities. Just behind the centre, slightly up the hill was the Queen of Peace Stations of the Cross: a short self-guided walk past a number of life-sized sculptures commemorating the Passion and death of Jesus Christ. Free to enter.
A lot of information available for those wishing to learn about the area, things to do, and hikes to take.
The Radium Hot Springs Visitor Centre is absolutely amazing with so much to see and learn with staff knowledgeable and eager to assist visitors; The honouring of the Ktunaxa people of this land is presented comprehensively and one can spend a whole day taking in all the exhibits. Every Friday the centre is open late with free music and local vendors selling their wares; The famous iconic wood carver Ron Heer known to one and all for his eccentric pink attire and who sadly passed last year is being honoured with funds being raised for a special park in his name. The bighorn sheep were not to be seen but deer were spotted. The excellence of the visitor centre is inspirational for one and all visiting Radium.
Great center with nice museum of the area
In addition to a very helpful rest stop on this long stretch of road, The Radium Springs visitor Center provides an excellent quick review of local flora/fauna and First Nations culture in the region. Highly recommend!
