Best 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."

"Earls Kitchen + Bar is a globally inspired restaurant focused on using the freshest ingredients and making our food and drinks from scratch. We believe in using the best proteins and produce that is locally sourced and thinking consciously about how the product is produced, raised and grown."

"At Earls Kitchen + Bar, you will have plenty to smile about. Enjoy the welcoming ambiance of the restaurant as you share a delicious meal with some friends. Have a go at their steaks and burgers."

"The Crazy Elk Café, inside Lobstick Lodge, is a coffee shop that serves Starbucks beverages as well as salads, sandwiches and baked goods that make an easy meal for the grab-and-go crowd. The café is in the hotel lobby and is open only from 7am to 11am. Don’t miss the faux mounted deer head with golden antlers that doubles as a clever light fixture."

"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."

"A post shared by Jasper, Canada (@tourismjasper) on Aug 5, 2016 at 9:29pm PDT. Marvel at the allure of billions of stars while surrounding yourself with mountain peaks and glaciers. While considered one of the most beautiful hikes in the summer months, it is also a spectacular spot to look up into the universe."

"Patricia and Pyramid Lakes are two gorgeous twins located just northwest of Jasper townsite. Patricia Lake is named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. The lake even contains a WWII wreck and underwater memorial plaque that divers can visit."

"This one is right next to Pyramid Lake and is another good one to head for your summer needs. Come here to enjoy the backdrop of Pyramid mountain, or go for a swim!. With a national park license, you can even go fishing here!"
