It gets really busy on rainy days, especially the climbing wall. That said the wall is pretty huge, loads of options and a good difficulty curve. Having used a much shorter wall that focused on technicality the long climbs here were a fresh challenge, more strength and endurance required.
Family friendly and great helpful staff.
Elevation Place is so awesome as an everyday workout place. My husband and I try to make it there 4-5 times a week and hit the climbing wall. After that we usually go for a swim or atleast to chill in the hot tub. It's been a great way for us to stay fit but while having fun together by climbing. We took their belay course, and now we are there all the time climbing together and learning new things. Sometimes we just go for the coffee at good earth and watch people climb to get a better perspective on the skill. It's our favourite date place.
Well equipped, modern, clean, spacious, this place is great!
Very nice pools and hot tub. Great kids area! No towels available and dont forget money for the lockers.
Nice pool with different depths for different ages of children. Great staff, my child had a nose bleed and they were quick to help with a very caring attitude.
Was visiting Canmore, and Elevation place had a very reasonable rate for pool use after our daytime alpine skiing.
Awesome facilities. Fun for the whole family. Modern and functional
Wow great facilities
This places has lots of things to do! Library, rock climbing and pool! Fun for the family.
It's so fun plenty of things to do there
What an impressive rec centre! Everything is really new. We went to the pool and it was awesome! The rock climbing is fun to watch as well.
Amazing, inexpensive indoor waterpark for the kids and adults alike. Friendly staff at the local library, very helpful. A delightful building with modern architecture and a rock climbing wall that I wouldn't dare attempt!
Fantastic place to go with the kids. If your getting away from Calgary for the day to canmore this is a good stop.
Fantastic kids swimming area. The climbing wall has a good variety of beginner to expert routes. The bouldering area is humbling to say the least!
Pretty sweet little bouldering place. Not a huge, super technical wall but the set is well done
Great place and awesome amenities but the gym is is so small and has very limited machinery. If you are looking for just a temporary place for a weight workout you'll have to time it. Since if its busy you are going to be waiting to use a machine
Friendly staff. Super accommodating. Great climbs. Challenging bouldering wall.
Clean gym and friendly staff. Social distancing in place. Had to book in advance.
Just the most amazing community center! Friendly staff. Great free WiFi upstairs with glass over pool. 6 bucks to go to the pool all day!
Nice facility, not tourist friendly though, no towel rentals but they will sell you a tiny towel for $8.00! For a family of 5 stopping in that’s a bit rich only for the towels to be discarded in garbage.
The worst $16 I have ever spent. Lockers and locker room were filthy. The weight room is limited at best as is the cardio room. The etiquette of the “gym” is non existent. I’m almost tempted to ask for a refund!!!
Affordable & Fun! Easily the best community centre I have ever been to. It is very affordable to access the facilities, and makes for a great rainy-day activity in Canmore. The rock climbing walls tower in the centre of the building, and there is a beautiful glass viewing area. The pool is clean & has a lazy river too!! There is also a library on site!!
Friendly service, clean facilities, very family friendly.
It's awesome!
My friends & family come here when we are in town. It's a great place for the kids, but can get pretty crowded on the weekends & holidays.
Very clean and Inviting!
We don't understand how a new facility can close its aquatic centre due to air quality concerns. We also feel that the art gallery could improve, offering more pieces and expanding on selection. It is a stunning building with incredible climbing walls.
Beautiful pool and friendly staff. Pre-covid one could spend the whole day in that facility!
The climbing routes are indicated with colour coded holds. There is no tape on the walls. It is easy to see a route and identify it's holds. There are over 40 ropes. Routes of varying difficulty are mostly spread out. Most walls slope outward a bit but a section by the window slopes inward. The layout is open and lets in a lot of natural light. This also lets people watch from outside the climbing area. There are 7 auto-belays. When I was there it was a busy day (due to no school) so people were taking turns on the more beginner routes. There is a fair amount of wall space for bouldering. The roped walls also have a painted line indicating how high you can climb on them without a rope. There are four main walls that run in parallel. It's possible to bump into another person belaying behind you.
It's decent, the change rooms are a mess, the pools is constantly filthy, the weight room is minimal, and the equipment in the cardio room is always broken. Other then that free Wi-Fi is always good
The pool and climbing wall are amazing.
Wonderful facility, but erratic pool temperature. Often it is cold.
after paying and checking in we would have to pay additional fees for the climbing test. This was unfriendly and not mentioned at the front desk. Luckily (1 star for that) they refunded the entrance fee.
Impressive multi-purpose recreation center with a big rock wall to climb. I also had a coffee at Good Earth with great service. The public library is also in this building.
The auto belaying system was a little scary at first but ended up being way better than having a partner for a beginner climber
Great climbing wall, pool, and gym. Yoga and fitness classes of all sorts.
Climbing looks fantastic! Poop was a little disappointing.
Great pool and climbing wall
The Elevation Place in Canmore is a great recreational facility. There are many fun, challenging rock walls with difficulties of all kinds, and an excellent swimming area with multiple pools, a water slide, and a hot tub and a sauna. The facility is very well maintained, and it is definitely a good place to take your family to spend the day there.
Wonderful spot for photos!
Kids love the climbing wall. You can do both that and swimming all in the same day.
Fantastic! Particularly, for a family.
beautiful rec center; swimming facility and splash area are great. the workout facilities for weight training are somewhat lacking. Wouldve been nice to see a running track or larger gym.
Beautiful building with a variety of difficulty for the rock courses. Even has a place where you can buy coffee and watch your kids climb!
Great climbing. Free washrooms. A great place to use if its rainy and the climbing in the area is bad for the day. Access to wifi and showers as well
Fun very awesome place to chill
On a gray smoky day I was looking for places to hangout inside and enjoy some AC. At first the building itself attracted me as it's looking very nice, well i was in for a treat once i got in! This place is a well thought architectural project (+LEED silver) I got to stroll around and enjoy some quiet time at the library, as a visitor no question asked I just did my thing. Then i spend the rest of the afternoon at the climbing gym, cool walls with a nice set of boulders problems. A good range of styles and difficulty, as an avid indoor climber I had a blast and some very challenging routes too. Grades are closer to outdoor then most indoor gyms i've been to.
Great pool for lane swimming, large kids pool area & hot tub. The weight room is quite small & feels crowded with more than a dozen people in it. The multi-purpose rooms with stationary bikes & treadmills seem to be an after thought. Would go again for swimming but not for cardo/weights.
I like the pool area. It has a large hot tub, a steam room, a lazy river, a slide and a good sized main pool. It's also nice that you can get a coffee and have a place to wait in the same building when you're done and see the climbers at work at the same time.
When with kids, you haven't been to Canmore if you didn't visit this place. My kids enjoyed the pool and the library.
So nice this place and cheaper :)
Great indoor area! Two story climbs with multiple routes. Perfect setting for climbing!
Spent the day as a vendor at Mountain Made Market and really love the venue. Good Earth on site and nice area to sit with a coffee, can watch the climbing wall people or have a view of the mountains. There was an art gallery/exhibit which was neat. Will like to come back to try out the gym and pool.
Gorgeous building.
Great place to chill and do recreational activities
Absolutely fantastic facility with something for everyone in the community. Love the blend of coffee shop, climbing wall, pool, gallery, etc.
Love this pool!
Disappointed with the cardio and weight room. Just 2 bikes for cardio
Great facility in Canmore, friendly staff and the family change rooms are great if you have little ones.
Have only tried the pool and lazy river and water slide there. And they are all awesome. Had a great time there. Can't wait to come back.
Really enjoyed the climbing facility. Was super busy but that’s to be expected on a rainy Sunday. So many options for all levels of climbers.
Great place to spend a rainy day with the family.
Very cool swimming/pool area. Clean and even has a climbing wall! Not expensive at all!
This pool of great for families and all levels of swimmer. The lazy river is a favourite. The lane pools are colder than the warmer main pool
Great rock wall far better then other places in Canada
Incredible fitness facility featuring an amazing climbing wall gym and swimming area. Only visited as a viewer and not a participant but might have to give it a try next visit if there'any energy left after skiing.
Great place to get a workout and watch climbers.
Wow! Gorgeous facility. Hot showers, beautiful pool deck and kids waterpark, vast climbing walls, gym, classes for everything, cafe - great place to meet people. Impressive place. Went here every day I was in Canmore!!!
Great pool, climbing wall
Fun recreation center at the mountains area. Worthy the visit if you like indoors climbing or want to chill on the pool area.
This place is quite amazing. May take some getting used to if you're new to the whole process, but as soon as you're passed that, it's great. I did wall climbing and the swimming area. Both were lots of fun and totally worth it. Definitely recommend.
Very poor organizational skills for the swim meet viewing. Not a fan of driving 2 hours to not see my child race
All in one stop. Kids love the climbing wall and pool. Nice library.
Overpriced gym and don't actually get great for the price u pay
Amazing place for families!
Rock climbing was so much fun, staff friendly and helpful! $30 for our family of 6 to use the facility for the day (Inc pool with waterslide), plus $5 harness rental. Coming back for more family fun!
Great way to spend the day with the family
I had so much fun the first time indoor rock climbing that I've decided to go back again. The instructors are friendly, helpful, patient and knowledgeable.
Great for singles, couples and family.
Great staff. Pleasant room. Pool has issues with condensation.
Gorgeous place with good staff and all kinds of facilities.
Awesome totally worth a month pass
Just came here to use the showers, but the changing rooms were really big. They even have private showers with curtains. Lockers are a dollar, but you can get the coin back when you open the door (so it’s basically free).
Very nice facility.
Dirty shower room (black dirt, orange liquid, trash) Kids jumping on you in a pool and guards don’t say a thing Climbing area is super small with very weird choices of grades No towel service Staff is friendly, but doesn’t care and doesn’t give any directions/intro.
Great place for a rainy day - it has swimming, climbing, fitness equipment, the town library, and an art gallery. You can spend happy hours here.
Loved the time. Great recreation centre in amazing surroundings
Researched before coming to town.. Planned for half a day here but no comment on the website and pool is shut down for swim meet. Disappointed kids. No parking and the climbing had a huge wait. People camping inside and out.. Chaotic.
What a fantastic community resource! A great place to spend time with the whole family. Pool, climbing gym, weight room, activity room, public library, art gallery, and meeting space. This facility has it all. The floor to ceiling windows provide great views of the mountains outside as well!
Always fun indoor climbing
We went to the climbing wall, did some bouldering and some awesome routes, once we were tried we went swimming for couple hours. Pretty awesome time and ambiance!
My daughter who is 6 spent her day there rock climbing, pretty impressive place, very talented staff.
Amazing facility. Very clean, affordable and lots to see and do. Great for families and young children.
One of my favorite place in Canmore. Perfect to work, hang out, workout, play with kids and climb too!
Awesome climbing facilities.
Great facility in Canmore. There is so many things to do. Child minding is the best when you have kids. You can do your workout or just take a coffee by yourself and your kids will be well taken care of by the amazing staff there. The pool area is amazing.
Great spot to spend some time with the family. We spent a couple of hours on the climbing walls. This area offers a number of options including bouldering and climbing with a belayer or with an auto belayer. Lots of space and helpful staff to go around. We then spent a couple hours in the pool. A water slide, lazy river, hot tub and basketball hoop kept us busy enough that we didn't realize hot much time had passed. Great change rooms including a nice family change area. Much more to do including checking out the gym, library and art gallery that we didn't get to...
The facilities here are really modern and clean. The only problem, the bouldering wall is small and the gym again, is just small. For the size of the building I wasn't expecting some parts to be that cramped.
Unbelievable facility, would love to have a cookie cutter replica at home. We checked out the pool, salt water pool with loads of lanes for swimming, a great lazy river and combo kids swim area, spray area and slide. Loads of stuff, well designed pool. Facilities are are super clean and modern version well done apart from the warning signs on one set of showers that you are visible from the pool so keep those suits on... Hope they solve that. The climbing facilities look amazing, gym, yoga studio and cardio all looked about the right size and having the library too makes for a fantastic facility all under one roof. Kudos to Canmore on this rec center, would highly recommend checking it out!
Really good climbing wall, the ropes wall is very tall (15m), well set bouldering problems, and a nice new modern facility.
Awesome, never miss when we go to Canmore for the day
Several services offered including a library, climbing wall, pool, yoga, workout rooms, and conference rooms. Very modern and the pool has a cool waterslide.
Great climbing gym and really nice swimming pool
I am watching my husband & two young grandchildren use the climbing facility (which is great). However, the boys are 6 & 9 and have very little experience. Four staff are standing by their desk... a little guidance would be nice...
multifunction center, swimming pool climbing gym library and fitness. Nice and new
A fun cost effective way to spend some time in Canmore with my family. Family friendly pool and while we don't climb, my son loved being able to sit and watch the climbers.
What would be better is a pool fare for half day because at the moment if you arrive 2 hours before the end of the day or at the opening in the morning it's the same price
My favorite climbing gym/café/yoga place/swimming pool/etc. cheap for what it is!
Good drop-in price, friendly staff and a lot to get. Climbing, swimming, hot tub, steam room - all inclusive for 17$ drop in
Best spot in Canmore. I wish every town had an EP.
Extremely nice pool facility, great for relaxing, working out or bringing kids. Other facilities looked very good as well although I didn't use them.
Great place. Loved the library ????
Nice Rec Centre. Good pool for young kids, not too cold, stuff to do. Climbing wall is good. Nice library as well.
The best rec centre anywhere
Great for families. Clean. Affordable and fun for all ages. Family change rooms are also provided.
Really great rock climbing complex, decent pool, meh slide.
Great Place! Much better than those in Calgary
Awesome facility. Cool climbing walls with a really healthy vibe.
Beautiful wood and stone interior with a platform overlooking the climbing walls. Has bouldering problems and campus boards in a training area near the back windows. Bring your own belay device for roped climbs. Cardio area of gym overlooks climbing wall and there's a nice coffee shop in the foyer. Seems like this building is a hub for the community and it is a very social space.
Good fun and surprisingly not expensive.
Super nice facility with really friendly staff. Our kids went rock climbing and had a great time. Very easy to navigate
Extortionate. Should have cost me $8 for myself to swim and $5 for my daughter to climb. They automatically charged the $29 family rate because my husband needed to spot our daughter in the climbing area, even though he wasn't going to swim nor climb himself. Beware of the expensive tourist trap.
Love this place. My son and hit the pool every visit.
Very nice facility
Community facility was awesome, the pool and kids splash area were great, also utilized the rock climbing wall while on vacation and the whole family had a great time.
Love the climbing wall with the sekf-belay section. The pool is always freezing though. ????
Amazing rec center! I wish the water slide was running though
Best recreation place in Canmore
Climbing wall is great.
Great place. Has everything. Lovely pool with Lazy River, huge hot tub, kiddie area, child area and 7 or 8 lap lanes plus a steam sauna. Climbing gym is quite large with some serious climbs, full service fitness gym, library and coffee shop. Good staffing and very clean.
This is a great place to workout, climb, swim, do some yoga, or grab a cup of coffee at the cafe. There is also a library. Very well kept and friendly staff. Good prices for the huge amount of activities there.
The staff is always friendly, the climbing routs are great, the pool is always nice. A great place to spend the day :)
Great climbing gym. The gym is run very well and the route setters here so an amazing job.
It was amazing beautiful place and a lot to see and do
So nice. Pool is great, and not much of a rock climber but I have never seen a nicer wall.
Lazy river! The kids loved this place, the kids area is quite big, they shut down a bunch of the swimming lanes and put out a dozen giant floats for the kids. The hot tub easily fits 25+ people. We didn't try but there is also a popular wall climbing section as well. The location is good being right at the entrance to canmore.
Great climbing gym. Less than $2o to climb and even on busy nights theres enough routes for everyone.
Great pool for everyone. Kids play area, a lazy river, large hot tub, and lots of room for getting some laps in.
Good place to climb and swim. The weight room was pretty disappointing for the price you pay per month. I expected it to be much bigger, but it didn't have much. The aerobics room was nice and had lots of fans to keep you cool, but a broken sink. Must not be finished? Nice staff. I wish they offered a free day trial pass so you can see if you like it before you pay.
Great facility! Only complaint is they must have underestimated how popular it would be as the weight room and climbing gym are a bit small, resulting in line ups during busy times of the day.
One of our favorite places to go. We love to check out the art gallery, climb for a few hours then play at the pool.
Awesome place for the family. We enjoyed rock climbing, swimming and the library all under one roof with still more if we wanted. 20 minute wait to get in to Rock climbing.
Great community asset. Fun pool with water slides. Excellent indoor rock climbing walls.
Very nice facility.
Clean facility, great place for swimming.
The most excellent location for indoor fitness; cycling, rock climbing walls, swimming and/or weight lifting. You can grab a coffee, see some art work or find a book in the local library.
Great place! There's fun for everyone, for all ages
First timer fun.
Check out the rock climbing wall! It seems the people who run are very passionate about what they do!
Great climbing gym but the manager used me as a training tool for new staff and wasted took about 30 minutes to orientate me before they'd let me boulder
They should put a basketball court.
A day pass give us access to the rock cimbing wall, the pool and the gym. We found that the frond desk worker at the moment that we were there did not help us much. Other employees were able to help us. The rock climbing place doesn't accept kids under 4. So we took our youngest to the child minding. The 2 educators were amazing. The rock climbing was a lot a fun for our 2 oldest child. We were all excited to end our adventure at the pool. The changing room were clean and family friendly. We will come again during our vacation to Canmore.
Great climbing, swimming, and service.
Great place to take the family swimming in canmore.
Great facility but busy. Inside the facility is a climbing gym, art gallery, child minding centre, library, weight rooms, specialty fitness rooms and a huge area with a pool. Downside is the facility becomes basically useless when wildfire smoke is in the area. Not a bad spot to stop with a family dying an off day on vacation.
Did not go to the pool, the fitness facility or the climbing wall. Thanks to the Mountain Market, live music, public library and gallery spaces, it was a fun spot to spend an hour or two on a cold winter morning.
Had a fun day of climbing! Was a great setup. Easy to get rentals and lots of climbing options for all levels.
Great indoor gym, climbing wall and pool. Great for families or days for bad weather. Definitely worth a visit.
Climbed for the first time today - the working representative Will was incredible at teaching me the basic skills and helping whenever he could see that I was stuck. Facility was small but good and the guest service was on point. Would definitely recommend!
A really cool, well maintained and modern rec center. The climbing wall is awesome and features a bouldering wall, top and lead rope walls, and auto belays. The pool is also fun and there are always a lot of pool toys and a waterslide available making it very fun for kids.
I had a good time in elevation Place sadly I'm not as in shape as I used to be I went out to rock climb and well I can only do it a few times and I got totally sore the next day but I'm not giving up this is a great place to go they have tons of rock climbing walls and then the most beautiful spot in Canmore
Great rec center with a great rock climbing wall for ages 4 and up.
Great staff. They are helpful and friendly.
Great library, rock climbing gym, gym facility and pool. The place is professional and clean. I like to go here with my family. As a local, I use the facilities regularly. During holidays and long weekends I avoid it because it is very crowded at max capacity.
Awesome place and the staff was super friendly
Good routes, cool place. Didn't get to do any TR/lead but they have some tall walls, and 7 auto belays, which were eventually overrun with kids. Pool/showers included with a day pass, which was relatively cheap compared to other gyms
It's pretty impressive. Swimming pool with a slide and climbing wall. Coffee shop could be cheaper.
It's a very good place to climb and learn new skills. Even for advance climbers, you will be good! There is at least 2 path at your level.
Kids loved the swimming pool. Change rooms very clean!
Amazing place to take the family. It has everything, swimming, rock climbing, coffee, art gallery, library, gym. It was walking distance from where we were staying and it was awesome taking the kids swimming a few times. The staff are so helpful and friendly!
Beautiful place surrounded by mountains. lots of things to do here! i love the fact that the On It Regional Transit Banff/ Canmore bus and the Roam Bus stops right in front of it. It seems to be a very accessible place for disabled folks like me with a walker to go to!
Amazing facility!, staff is super friendly and helpful. Didn't really know how much I would enjoy rock climbing until I was here. I can definitely see why it was so busy and so many people rock climb. Great setup and very easy to use/learn. Family loved it, my 5 year old daughter climbed up to the very top for her first time. So she was very comfortable there. Swimming pool is very nice and very well maintained, kids had fun on the giant slide and in the rest of the pool. Highly recommend checking this place out, prices are very affordable and worth it. As we had all day access to both swimming and climbing, and from what I understand there is more there which we didn't have time to checkout!
Dont like the cold? Not sure why you are in Canmore then. This is a great rec facility, but it can get very busy.
Great climbing gym, staff is very helpful!
Don't come a lot of crime goes on their I got my nice Nike's stolen along with a couple other people who got their shoes stolen the same day. It's a nice place don't get me wrong but that attracts a lot of other people.
Wonderful Multi Recreation Centre located in Canmore.
Lots of things to do and for a good price. The climbing section isn't very big and there was a lot of people. The pool and steam rooms were nice but unfortunately the hot tub was out of order. We also used the cardio and weight rooms and there was many options.
Great place for taking younger children. Good workout facilities.My family goes here every years a few times a year because it's calm and we can enjoy ourselves without it being overcrowded.
Long line for hot tub that they keep at 1/4 capacity.
Took our family climbing and then swimming. This facility is fantastic!! Lots of self-belays for the kids to use themselves, friendly staff, great routes, and really good value for our family to climb together and then enjoy the pool and hot tub after! Would definitely recommend!!
Love Elevation! Amazing facility! Great gym and pool and steam room!
Great gallery's .... Public Gallery upstairs is easy to miss
If you are in Canmore and not outdoors, you should be at Elevation Place. Library, climbing gym, coffee, pool, cardio room. What's not to love!
A truly awesome full-service communuty recreation center! Climbing wall, swimming pools (for lengths & for playing), yoga/dance studio, weight training, a cafe with fireplace, all in a architecturally beautiful package with views of the Rockies.
Affordable family fun!!
Very beautiful place.
Killer climbing wall and nice place to soak between mountain missions
Great facility when it isn't super busy. The weight room and climbing gym get really busy and it can be frusterating at times. The weight room has very few plates for their squat racks and brench press stations.
Very nice facility, but quite expensive for a drop in. I enjoyed the steam room and hot-tub, and there was plenty of room in the swimming pool. Slightly awkward shower angles that are visible from the deck. Clean and working weight room equipment.
Simply great..enjoyed pool, hot tub stem room..there s even a water slide. And iblove their wall climbing.....
Stopped while we were driving through town to eat dinner there and let our kids run around. WHY WAS THE COFFEE SHOP CLOSED?!?!?!? There were tons of people milling around visiting, reading, working, exercising, etc. It seems like simple thing to have the coffee kiosk open for the majority of the time that the facility is open. Very disappointed. (I'll admit I only gave three stars because of this. Maybe when I'm less upset I'll come back and change it.)
Great place with lots of facilities. Very family friendly and clean. Definitely recommend for staying fit while in Canmore if the weather isn't quite perfect for outdoor activities.
Great place to go with young children
Canmore is lucky to have such a great facility. Perfect for a rainy day visit.
Great membership prices, beautiful facilities!
Awesome multi sport community center
Amazing experience! My hubby and I finally got to try rock climbing and it's a wonderful experience. Great workout with informative staff. We then went to have a nice swim and the pool and slide were great with lots of room to swim as well as designated swimming lanes. The only down side of this is we used the family change room, and they only have two open view showers, so you'll have to wait for your turn. Besides that, everything was a great experience.
Immaculately clean. Spacious. Everything seems to be open with Covid protocols... Reserved a spot online but you can do it at the front desk too, paid $6 to use the pool and showers. No plug ins for hairdryers though because of covid. Happy you’re back up and running!!!
Rock climbing, swimming, library, gym and art gallery all in one.. what else is there to even say?
Great experiences. I am a local. People are nice and supportive there. Always a holiday mood when I go to Elevation Place. Great job deserves 5-star rating.
Really nice facility.
This is such a great facility. As with anything surrounding family activities I wish it were cheaper, but this really is a standout. It's never busy enough that you can't access activities, and the pool is not overpopulated with paid programs such that you can't just drop in for a fun swim. Really great.
Awesome place to be: swim, pump, climb and read. Clean, beautiful and fabulous public facility.
Really really great Rec center with so many nice workers! I forgot a lock for my locker and I'm from the States and only had American money so I couldn't buy a locker. They were so nice and let us have a locker so we could stay and swim for a few hours. And THEY HAVE FREE WIFI!
Enjoyable yet challenging, wonderful day.
Great clean place with wicked facilities
This facility tries to be something for everyone, and not doing any of it well in regards to the wellness facility (I cant speak to the library or the gallery). The fitness areas seem like an afterthought - full of outdated (and small amounts) of equipment and limited space. The separate rooms for cardio equipment are not adequate for the amount they charge. The climbing area feels crammed, only a line on the floor separating bouldering and lead climbing. We went swimming in the lane pool, I was surprised at how cold the water was - although my body did get used to it after a few laps. However, a limit of 25 patrons in the hot tub seems a little ridiculous (don't get me started on the line-up of people waiting to enter and the lifeguard patrolling it like a policeman). This is a new facility, surely a little foethought and planning should have gone into a facility that caters to a plethora of residents and tourists alike.
Excellent gym, pool and climbing wall
I go here every week to do some sports, They have climbing a gym exercise equipment, a pool, a library, a cafe and a child minding area. The you can only pay for pool or for the whole facility, not just climbing or other.
Nice place for kids
Fun place for swimming, climbing, or getting a work out in on a rainy day. Although new, it holds a lot of the Canmore community vibe.
Beautiful facility! We used the pool only but will be back to try the rest out for sure! The family change room was great, bright, and very clean. The pool area was also very bright and open. I found it way less noisy then other aquatic centers. Loved all the different parts to the pool. Lots for little kids to do. Thanks! ????
Fun swimming while in town.
Really nice modern and multifunctional place!
Full facility ticket is a great deal for swimming and climbing. Auto belay devices make climbing very accessible.
Beautiful facility! We had a lovely swim here while camping at Banff. Would love to come back!
Busy. Amazing rock wall
In what concerns the pool ; lovely place well organized and secured.
Great value. Modern. Fun for the whole family.
Great facility!
It’s a busy spot on a rainy day, but the kids had lots of fun. The pool area is a decent size, has a kids area, lazy river and hot tub. Worth the visit for sure!
An impressive fitness / recreation center. Has indoor rock climbing, swimming, and gym equipment all in the same building. Rates seemed extremely affordable, especially for the family rate. The lap pool and sauna are nicely sized and the waterslide is fun, even for an adult. The kids' area is smaller than I expected from the website description, but it can still be fun for kids. No towels available for rent, so make sure you bring one with you if you're going swimming.
Friendly staff and great facility.
Great activities complex. Huge inside climbing wall with many different difficulties and is a great place to go for beginners or experts. The pool is also very big and has many lanes for swimming. They also have a water slide and a "kiddie" pool with a play structure and bucket for the kids. They have a library filled with many books and is a great place to do any work and there is access to many tools there. There is an art gallery next to the library. There is a Good Earth cafe next to the climbing wall which is very nice on a cold day. They also have a weights gym and a cardio room with a lot of equipment to help everyone.
Good place got most things. If you are looking for a gym that is just a gym there is a better one in town
Kids loved it. I tried it too... but was not very good at it. Fairly challenging for middle-aged newbies.
The pool area is wonderful!
Very nice space, I felt elevated.
Every town should have a place like this when it is cold outside.
Clean, great staff, and lots of activities to do -- great place to spend a day with friends and family.
Nice facility for sports and wellness, especially for indoor climbing! Never seen so many belay ropes going at once than at this climbing gym, respect! Pool could be great for the kids with hot tub near the wading pool but needs improvements. UPDATE - Negative aspects: Ventilation issues causing the main hot tub to be down for weeks, (Too much chlorine in the air or something bizarre for a new place) weird age restrictions on the steam room at 18+, and over-zealous pool staff harassing parents to keep within reach of young ones in knee deep water! Let's bring it down a notch people! Likely was our last visit due to the lack of Hot tub use, cold breezy air, and cold pool water causing kids to have blue lips! They really need to get the mechanical issues sorted out soon and have reasonable temperatures for all ages of pool users. A LOT of room for improvement at the pool.
Great climbing and gym for the price you pay
Great pool, gym and climbing wall. Although, very busy at times.
Excellent place to go rock climbing!
The climbing place here is fantastic! Just call ahead, the last two times we visited their hours were different from posted hours. Edit: when you have one climbing fanatic who is 8 and only wants the wall, you still have to pay for the adult supervisors for full facilities. I know why but there has to be a better way. You lose a star for it being such a hassle and costly every time.
Excellent price for family day pass. Being able to go back and forth from the climbing wall to the pool was well worth the price we payed.
Our family loves stopping here while we are on holidays. The lazy river is lovely, big hot tub and wading pool for the kiddos, and a nice big window with views of the mountains.
Impressive setup.
Can't get enough of the pool, even though it's the coldest in Western Canada. Great facility to train in. Love the available lap lanes
Very clean. Could allow more people in the hot tub though.
We got to the pool 30 minutes after it opened and were put on a waitlist. We had to leave after my 3 year old and 5 year old waited 1 hour and 40 minutes without getting in. They let two hockey teams and a birthday party in who had prebooked before us. If they had told us that three parties were going to be coming during our wait, we could have made other plans for our day.
Simply incredible facility for the price!!
Love EP Always helpful, happy staff with smiles. My kids love the Child minding (bears den) and are always happy to be dropped off. The pools are nice and warm and clean. There's a great little play area near the pool observation deck and tons of facilities space. The change rooms are clean and spacious. Nice hot showers, all the things to make swimming ECT enjoyable.
Very clean facility with lots of amenities! Friendly staff, amazing view!
Nice facility, good amenities, great people.
Great place to swim, workout or climb
Great place to go after skiing. They have a hot tub, lazy river, slide, steam room and more.
What a cool facility! I am truly envious of this place. Watched a father and daughter climb the rock wall. Very cool.
Great kids pool. We loved the lazy river and the water basketball.
Cool place. I would have given them 5 stars but the whole Covid protocols in this place really knocked it down to a 3. My spouse couldn't watch my daughter and I climb from an upper viewing area which I thought was a little ridiculous. All the water fountains were closed. The pool was also closed due to Covid which looked like a pretty fun. I'm sure during normal circumstances it is awesome.
Climbing wall is worth the trip to Canmore!
There is a lazy river... so fun!
Great for relaxing with the family.
5 star climbing wall
Well kept and friendly just needs a little bigger workout area for the weightroom
Pool and gym: excellent, 5 stars Climbing: 3 stars - looks cool from the outside but on a busy day, it's incredibly tight. I felt very unsafe bouldering because the fall zone is also where people are belaying and walking. The people on autobelays sometimes also fall right into the walking/belaying zone. All top rope climbs regardless of incline require the rope to be clipped into the draws which is a huge pain on the way up. Pros include decent variety of climbing grades and clean gym.
Great spot for families
All access pass for $15? Yes please. Go rock climbing or bouldering, swimming, or lounge in the hot tub while the kids play on the water slide. Heck, take a couple trips down the water slide yourself! This facility is brand new and proudly environmentally friendly. Cooled and heated geothermally is only the start, even the toilet water comes from the pool filter back flush!
Fairly priced and a good variety of activities.
Fairly cheap and tons of fun. Kids loved it!!!
Great place to spend a few hrs or the day with a variety of things to do.
We really enjoy taking our kids here when we come to Canmore. We always take them to the pool and they seem to enjoy it.
From out of town and wanted to get a quick workout and soak in at 9:00pm only to find out the pool closes at 9 and still charged $16. Would be nice to knock the $8 off.
Went swimming here, and it was great. Price was very good (kids under 3 free!) and access gets you in all day. Clean, modern, beautiful place.
Recently moved to Canmore from Calgary and was looking forward to making the most of the facilities. I'm hugely disappointed, mainly because the changing facilities are totally inadequate considering this place cost $40 million. Clearly little to no thought was given to space requirement and general comfort when the changing rooms were designed. Too few showers, with crappy, cheap curtains and shower heads that dribble out water ... The space, overall is cramped with very little seating for changing purposes and what I find absolutely astounding, is that there isn't even a costume spinner/dryer??? Over night tote boxes would also be highly appreciated. The website needs to be seriously updated in order to provide its patrons with the information they require. I love to swim and especially at a more quieter time of the day - so often I arrive and there are hordes of school kids taking swim lessons etc, which is fine - JUST FRIGGING POST IT! As someone who is used to the very high standards offered by Calgary YMCA memberships, could the manager kindly make a note of these recommendations - it's not rocket science!!
Went to climb here for the first time and it was wildly expensive for drop in. After I payed for my drop in fee I had to pay AGAIN for a belay test. I've never been to a gym that's more of a money grab. Would not reccomend for the casual climber.
Every town should have a facility like Elevation Place. It is a great place to go if you have children. The pool is wonderful, even after 3 hours we had a hard time getting the kids to leave. Definitely a place to check out if you are ever in Canmore.
Great facility very well designed, great example for other towns and cities to follow. Fun for the whole family, at a reasonable price.
This place is amazing. There is so much for the kids and adults to do. Every community should have a center like this. My son particularly likes the rock climbing wall. It does get overly busy on weekends and holidays though.
Very nice place but the pool is too crowded and you have to wait to get in
Awesome place. The kids had a great time in the pool and the rock climbing wall is really. Cool. If you are camping in the area and the weather turns bad, this is a great place to kill some time and tire out the kids.
Family went to go swimming here. It was great! We had a blast and my 2 year old loved the little slide he could go down. If i lived in Canmore id go here all the time!
Really cool rock wall
Superb recreation center with free wifi
Climbing gym is cramped and crowded, the gym is tiny and right above the pool, making it hot and humid. The pool itself is okay but not great.
Just a great place to climb swim or work out
Fantastic facility. Clean and well equipped for a public facility in a small community.
Great place to stay fit
Went for the climbing and it was a very nice experience. The staff were really nice and gave a good run down of the facilities, as I was visiting from out of town. The bouldering was a fun time; they had just had a competition so the routes were challenging but in a way that was exciting. I am a big fan of the autobelay setup in place, which provides a great variety of routes in all grades. I didn't have a partner this particular trip, but was still able to have a really good time even on my own.
Lots to do! Swimming, climbing wall, library, arts, snack shop for coffee, etc
Amazing place for kids and grown-ups alike
This place is basically a homeless shelter with all the people living in vans using it as their personal bathrooms, showers and living quarters during the day. The change rooms are disgusting and rarely cleaned. The gym is small with old equipment, always dirty and very busy. The pool floor and steam room are disgusting. The only good thing here is the climbing gym and the library.
Good place to spend time while it's raining, different levels of difficulty for all types of people. Staff is friendly.
An extensive sports activity complex in downtown Canmore.
Artwork on display , climbing wall, swimming, library books and videos. A place to have lunch.
Did the climbing wall. Excellent experience with friendly and informative staff. We were first time climbers!
Love the pool! There's a big shallow area that's so good for little ones. There are some fun splash park water features too. Haven't tried the slide but it looks fast.
Wonderful place to spend an afternoon.
Nice facility some very odd things about the operations. 1st you can buy aquatics only for $8 but not gym only, driving the price to $16 for a drop in. 2nd. Coin lockers but can not add a Lonnie to your transaction. 3rd. Swimming hours are so limited 4. Huge hot tub, but maximum number of people allowed is extremely limited, I realize there is regulations for this, however someone failed in the planning of this.
Kids love using the pool here and I love watching them from the viewing area where I can get some work done. This place is immaculate and truly a gem in the bow valley. Everything from the library to the gym facilities are amazing! They are well maintained, super clean, fully staffed both at the front desk and with the lifeguards, etc. Kudos to all!
Love the climbing gym and pool.
It was nice to be able to take my family here for our family Christmas activity. My sister has 5 kids, and the price is unbeatable for an activity with them. It is a beautiful building, kept clean, and the staff are helpful. The lady that helped us at the desk, explained the options to us so patiently and answered all our questions about which would be the most affordable option... my 2 nieces wanted to climb. This may become a new Christmas tradition for us.
Very nice facility. Aquatics area is well laid out and had an area for everyone. Nice sized kids area, water slide, lazy river and steam room. Family change rooms are roomy and clean. The price is very reasonable as well for a family. The only issue we had was, we planned our visit during “family swim” as we have 2 kids. We cams to find out that “family swim” means the waterslide and the water on the kids splash structure are not on. Seems weird to me. For reference, the full aquatics facility is functional during “public swim” Perhaps consider a renaming of the time to “tots swim” is more clear as it seems that is more who this time is geared for. It should be noted that we all still really enjoyed our time here without those features being open. Overall I think it’s a great facility with attentive and genuinely nice lifeguards. Next time we will explore more of the offerings here.
Great place to climb.
Great pool...lots to do there and price is reasonable
Large, fully featured, modern rec center with a climbing gym included. Great place to spend the day if the weather isn't in your favor! Enjoy a good climbing session, grab a snack, and then soak your muscles in the hot tub one room over. The climbing wall gets busy in the evenings but the way they have the wall set up is unique but (clipping draws up and down) allows for people to climb safely in relatively close proximity.
Nice gym, but if you want to go climbing alone, it's not the place. Very few autobelays that are usually occupied, and huge barriers to belay certification (it costs money to get tested!) makes finding a belay partner at the gym challenging.
This place is just perfect.
A great spot in Canmore. Decent gym with decent classes and a great pool, hot tub, and climbing wall. The staff is generally always friendly and helpful.
Excellent facility! excercise, food, and coffee
Nice clean pool. Good free WiFi.
Excellent medium sized climbing gym with bouldering and climbing incl several auto belays for those solo days.
Very well kept, great facility.
There are some good things to do. You can go climbing (approx. $18, there is a little coffee, a library, hot pools, pool, and some other things.
Staff was amazing, help with equipment and also gave us lots of tips for the kids.
We like to go here every time we're in Canmore because our kids love to go swimming. But even though we go the recent experiences haven't been that great. I've found a few of the life guards a little excessively power tripping. This latest time it was my daughters first time ever in a pool so I brought my gopro and the first picture I took, a selfie of me and my daughter in the pool, the life guard came over to tell me to ensure I was only taking pictures of my own family. The kids aren't allowed to use boogie boards even though they were using them properly to swim back and forth across the pool. The life guard came and took them away saying they are needed for the lane swimmers only to just put them away. The hot tub is regularly at it's limit of 25 ppl so they won't let you in despite lots of available space. It's disappointing that our 4 year old boy isn't able to ride the slide when the hotel slide goes into a deep pool and this one lands in a trough. Most of the kids area features don't typically seem to be in use (big dump bucket and other spray features). Only some of the family change rooms have a change table. Parking is pretty tough to find. The climbing wall has always been crazy busy. I do find the pricing reasonable and the lazy river is a fun feature. Some of the lifeguards are great.
Climbing wall were very much more interested in waiver signing than safety.
Incredible centre! Kudos to Canmore planners to seeing such a robust activity centre with something for everyone! Amazing!
Awesome place !!
Awesome work! Friendly volunteer artists eager to chat with you about the pieces, relaxed atmosphere welcoming to everyone!
Climbing gym, cafe, hot tub, WiFi...good price
The instructors are great!
Great climbing wall for beginners and experts!
Really nice facility, great staff. I spend a lot of time in there during the colder months...
My wife and I just love the pool and lazy river here.
Great place for taking younger children. Good workout facilities.
Amazing facility, clean and modern and great family change rooms if your there with kids. Pool is incredible with lazy river, slides and indoor splash pad. Hot tub as well as lane swim pool. Climbing wall is also a hit with kids and fun for adults too. Can rent get at reasonable cost.
Beautiful place to take the whole family! Lots to do swimming, Rock climbing and a library
Great pool, busy on the weekend. Hot tub was busy and had a line up.
Great climbing wall. Very modern and staff are very helpful
It is ok. But very much
Gorgeous views, always helpful staff. The pool has lots of variety for the whole family. Changerooms are close so your kids don't get cold, and the family change room has large stalls so the whole family can privately take their time to change.
An awesome facility.
WOW! Has everything and yet you pay 30% of what you would in Calgary for way worse facilities. Highly recommended!
Amazing facility, staff are nice. The gym could be a bit bigger, but with the great membership price, the deal is really good!
Love EP!
This is an amazing spot to visit with a family. The pool is amazing. It has some many different cool parts. From the lazy river, to the giant water slide to the huge hot tub and steam room. You can’t go wrong. They also have some mini slides and splash area for little ones. They have life jackets to borrow and swim diapers to rent. It’s such a well organised spot. The Canmore library is in the same building, along with an incredible rock climbing wall. There is tons of free parking and it’s very close to down town.
Can be crowded, but otherwise a great facility. Memberships are reasonably priced.
Great facility, so many things to do! Extremely clean and well maintained. Absolutely worth a visit.
I love their pool and sitting under the giant bucket! Also they have a wikid slide, definitely worth checking out
Excellent clean facility with so much to do for any age. Beautifully designed in and out. Courteous staff. Fantastic!!
Staff is super friendly freedom to use facility beautiful facility would highly recommend
Nice swimming pool. Cool, clear water. Seldom crowded when I go in the evening.
I love this place! There is so much to do in one building!!
Amazing building with so many activities to do. There is the library, climbing wall, bikes, treadmills, stair climbers, recumbant bikes, weight machines that are up to date and exercise classes. Unfortunately there is no swimming pool for the month of September as they are doing their yearly cleaning and maintenance. The lap pool has water in it but you can't swim in it. Lock rooms are being cleaned and updated too.
It is a clean and new facility but it is not 100 percent compare to the photos, one slide and one lazy river. My 9 years old was disappointed because he got an illusion from the picture that the pool was bigger and lots more fun. Very clean and super nice looking, you might want to call ahead to check their hours and the closure of certain facility if you are driving long way to try it out.
Extremely clean, very courteous lifeguards
Terrific facility. Family friendly. Reasonably priced.
Loads of activities, clean, and well trained staff.
This place is a great addition to Canmore. As a regular swimmer, I can't fault it. Not many pools have 9 lanes and I just love to migrate to the hot tub after my swimming workout. Staff always friendly and the prices are pretty awesome. Keep up the great work, guys ..
Nice place to burn some calories and spend some time with family.
Shame our visit was not able to access hot tub or steam room but still enjoyed what was open, freindly staff
Amazing facility, really family friendly great value. Staff were also really helpful!
Nothing tells you that the hot tub is closed until you’re literally in the pool. The hot tub is open 8-5. Then Covid comes back at 5 I guess? Staff at front desk weren’t very friendly. Pool and change rooms were clean though.
Recently cancelled my membership here. Change rooms are digusting - hair and mud all over the floors as they only clean them once a day. All the van dwellers that camp in the parking lot take up all the spots so it's hard to find parking at peak hours. The dwellers also use the facilities and hang out there during the day so the place is basically a homeless shelter. Climbing gym is very small and always busy. Gym seemed like an afterthought as the equipment is very dirty and you have to use a wet rag to clean the equipment so it is also unsanitary. Town of Canmore needs to do something or their membership sales from residents will continue to decline. Go to the Anytime Fitness, much better facilities!
Great water play areas for children of all ages
The rock climbing was excellent, the kids had a great time. Pool looked good except someone left a present in there so we couldn't go in.
Amazing place with every thing. Gym, pool, climbing wall, library, coffee shop, washrooms , waterslide, hot tub and wow. Must visit.
