Fun little last day in Canada ice cream date! Location is easy to find and with plenty of street parking. They have a variety of options but no additional toppings. Overall the ice cream was good and it was a fun unique experience that I'd recommend if in the area!
What a cute little ice cream stand! I stumbled across the school bus while walking down the street. They have a decently sized outdoor eating area and there is street parking right out front (not free until 8pm). They also make milkshakes and shaved iced. The employees were friendly and quick. Customers are only allowed 1 free sample so choose wisely! I like that they offer a sugar free option. I went with a kid size chocolate peanut butter scoop. It tasted very fresh and home made.
Black cherry and butter pecan were 10/10. Creamy flavorful. Very nice ice cream. Price was as expected. Busy place when it's hot out. Has some picnic benches to eat at as well. Can ask for a sample before buying.
Heads up, they're only open during the summers. Would recommend keeping up with them on Facebook because that's how they announce when they're coming "out of hibernation", where they'll be, when they can only take cash, when they're closed because of weather or private events, and all the other general updates. Also, if you're planning to park in the immediate area, this part of 9th street is $3 per hour from 8 AM to 8 PM during peak season. Also, a thing to note is that their patio area is pretty open to the elements. There are one or two umbrellas on the table(s) but, during the summer there is little to no shade besides those thanks to the angle of the sun. So during the time when the sunlight is REALLY beating down or when it's raining, people are going to stake their claim on what little there is. If you really want someplace to sit down and enjoy your treats while the patio space is too crowded, go back to the other side of the block where the park is. Or at least, they have benches and trees where out around the Canmore Museum. Old School Bus Ice Cream really does SUPER tasty ice cream while being one/two streets over from Canmore's main street. They also do floats, milkshakes, shaved ice, and canned drinks/soda from what I was told was a local Canmore company (The Grizzly Paw). Super integrated with the local community. They have pamphlets and stuff for new local restaurants and participate in money-raising for charities. So if you're looking for something new to do or visit, drop by to see if they're advertising anything (almost like a bulletin). Overall, if we visit again, this is definitely our list. And I definitely want a cone and MORE scoops next time lol. I had admittedly tried their green tea because I was wondering/testing what kind of flavor it would have, and it was wonderful. Wonderful enough that this is a must-return-to spot in order to try even more flavors!
Super fun ice cream stop! They had so many flavors and also let you try flavors. Really fast turnaround time. Takes card or cash. I loved that they had different sizes of ice cream. The kiddo size was perfect for us, and only $2.50 CAD. Nice outdoor seating. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!
What a fantastic use of an old school bus! Repurposing at its best. Loved how many flavors there were to choose from, perfect for a hot day. Ice cream was good although I think I was more excited about the bus then the actual ice cream. Definitely a unique experience.
This was the cutest little place. We stumbled across it while walking around. Highly recommend they have a ton of different flavors. Service was fast.
Here are our FIVE star FAPS: Food (F): School's out! Summer's here! Old School Bus Ice Cream is your go to summer ice cream treat! We tried five flavors in two days- Cherry Cheesecake (special), Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Bear Claw, and Cookie Monster! All we delicious , but our top three included Cookie Monster, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, and Bear Claw! The price for ice cream was unbelievably cheap for their portion size and flavor in comparison to ice cream from Hawaii and Los Angeles! Best ice cream in Canmore, especially since they are open later than 8 PM! Ambience (A): Love the concept of the ice cream shop being a bus! Lots of family and friends getting ice cream, but not a lot of seating options. Have to be lucky to snag a seat! Parking (P): Free on street if after 8 PM! If not, follow the QR code on parking meters to pay for parking! Service (S): Friendly and Quick service! Overall, a MUST go to place for ice cream in Canmore! Would recommend!
Ice cream joint serving ice cream out of an old school bus! The ice cream was delicious, vibes were great, and prices were very reasonable. We went back at least 4 times when we were staying in Canmore. The wacky watermelon flavor was my absolute favorite!
Old School Bus Ice Cream has been around for 18 years, so they must be doing something right. Located on a side street in Canamore, it's clear that it's uniqueness make it a Canamore staple. It's a former school bus turned into a hippie / ice cream mobile. I ordered the Maple Walnut in order to taste the Caniadneness in each bite. The ice cream was really good. Highly recommended
Really cool spot with a wide selection of ice cream flavors. We visited twice during our visit to Canmore and you can tell they get a lot of traffic. They also have shaved ice but we only tried the ice cream. There's a few tables if you wanna sit. Their hours are pretty good, open from 11 am to 10 pm so if you have a late sweet craving this is a good choice.

yummy ice cream! the workers were very sweet when i changed my mind mid-ordering on what flavor i wanted haha. also so fun that it is inside a school bus! there's lots of cute seating outside read more
Quaint. Like a mobile food truck but I think it is permanently located. Super friendly and accommodating staff. Mostly hard ice cream and lots of flavours, which I appreciated. If I only have one complaint, which may be petty, it is that you don't get a lot of ice cream for the price. Their two scoops are just slightly bigger than one scoop at an ice cream shop in Kananaskis. Kenmore is a very difficult location to park. I think you have to pay for parking almost everywhere. read more

A must visit in Canmore!! It's a quaint and unique ice cream shop that it ONLY OPEN MONDAY TO THURSDAY! They have a multitude of flavors to choose from. We got the Bear Claw (chocolate ice cream with cashews and caramel) and Mocha Almond Fudge, which had actual mocha beans in it. Both were rich and creamy, and so so good!! As a chocoholic, it definitely hit the spot. Would definitely come back read more

This is my favorite dessert place in Canmore. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The ice cream is delicious! Don't forget to bring cash! And if you can, I'd recommend paying in CAD because they do not exchange at the exchange rate. My wife and I shared several flavors -- about half of their menu options -- and our favorites were the Caramel Praline and Birthday Party. Highly recommend! read more
Besides the unique location and being served out of a school bus, this spot just didn't check off all the boxes for amazing ice cream. There are a number of flavors to choose from. The line moves rather quickly. Unfortunately, the ice cream was super icy and I didn't find it any different from getting a scoop from a carton in the freezer aisle at the store. Large scoops and friendly peeps behind the counter. Not enough though to bump it up to above average. Great for families with small kids though. read more

What a neat ice cream spot. It's in an old school bus as the name would suggest. It's always parked in the same place. They have a lot of unique flavors. We each got 3 scoops in a waffle cone so I tried (in order I liked them the most to least): caramel praline, birthday party, butterscotch ripple, butter pecan, maple walnut, mango. The top 4 were delicious. The bottom two weren't that great. My parents really liked what they got as well. They have a couple of tables outside to sit at an well as a bench. They only take cash and they accept US dollars as well. I wouldn't recommend paying in US dollars though because they still charge you the Canadian price, so you pay more. This is a great local spot that I would definitely recommend checking out! read more

Cute little place with some outdoor seating. Lots of flavors to choose from and the ice cream was delicious. read more
Came here a few times during our week long trip in Canmore / Banff National Park. Everyone working the bus was helpful and friendly, and me and my bf thoroughly enjoyed our evening walks to get our ice cream! The area around is beautiful, and the area by the bus has seating if you need it. We had their mocha almond fudge, strawberry, and chocolate fudge brownie flavors. All yummy! read more

Discovered this place while we stayed in Canmore. It is literally across the street from our hotel stay. There's always a line outside. It moves pretty fast though It's super cute! They serve ice cream out of an old school bus! I got the orange cream flavor and my bf got the bubblegum. Both so yummy! I knocked out one star because our total was 7 CAN and we handed the young girl a $10 USD, and we waited for our change and she kept it. We were gonna tip anyway, but the expectation of doing that kind of threw us off lol read more

Adorable ice cream "food bus/truck" in the heart of downtown Canmore offers visitors like us a tasty reward after a day of exertion on area trails. Favorite flavors on our multiple visits include tiger (orange creamsicle swirled with licorice, green tea, licorice, chocolate brownie fudge, maple walnut and mango. read more

This is located in the downtown area. Easy walk and convenient. It has a good selection of ice cream. It had friendly staff. There's a place where you can walk around and enjoy your ice cream. If it wasn't so cloudy the view would have been amazing. The scoops are pretty big. It has a pretty cool vibe, I'd recommend stopping by here when you're in Canmore. read more

I hate to be the naysayer here but I thought the ice cream was just okay. Maybe I'm spoiled by more artisan, natural, organic ice cream in San Francisco, but I just wasn't that impressed. Cash only, so minus points for that. If you have US dollars they will take that but at a 1:1 exchange rate (they are making bank on that exchange rate) It's unique and eye catching that they serve the ice cream out of an old school bus. They have a pretty wide selection of flavors that include mint chip, green tea, birthday cake, tiger (licorice/orange) amongst others. The flavors are very artificially colored so if you get the birthday cake flavor you'll look like you ate a Smurf. We got the mint chip, birthday cake and raspberry cheesecake. The portions are huge and 2 scoops is more than enough for 2 people. I liked the mint chip - it was pretty standard green mint chip ice cream. The raspberry cheesecake was good but heavier on the cheesecake part than the raspberry swirl part. The birthday cake was good but a bit too sweet for my taste and probably too much blue food coloring and sprinkles. The texture was soft and creamy but definitely not your artisan, all-natural homemade stuff. You'll get quantity over quality here. Not super unique flavors but if you want pretty standard ice cream at inexpensive prices and big scoops, this will fit the bill. read more
