They have a great selection of tee-shirts, sweats, maple syrups stuff, stickers, Keychain, socks, everything! Tip: ALWAYS select local currency (Canadian) when paying by creditcard.

If you're looking for ammolite (which is moving to become recognized as the official gemstone of…read moreAlberta), Rock Paper Silver has the best selection in terms of small "stone" samples, jewelry, and "rock" pieces. In general, they have nearly everything relating to stones, crystals, and fossils in a variety that stretches from the regular souvenir stuff (wire-wrapped crystal necklaces and bead bracelets) to jewelry-grade stones and actually jewelry to decorative house pieces, statues, and wall pieces. The storefront is smaller than the actual store, which stretches REALLY far back. Very well organized with clearly marked sections for the different kinds of stones. Employees are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and were pretty open about admitting to their stuff being a bit upmarked. They even recommended other locations for some possibly cheaper, specific types of fossils. Not only were they very informative when we asked about specific crystals and rocks, and this included where they'd gotten everything. Canada is famous for being a rockhound's dream, with its amazing and numerous mineral and precious metal deposits. However, Rock Paper Silver also provides specific other kinds of crystals from other parts of the world. There are a number of souvenir and rock/crystal/fossils places along Banff Avenue. However, Rock Paper silver is right at the center of the main cluster of restaurants and gift shops. The closest parking (besides the minimal street parking when the road isn't blocked off) is the Bear Street Parking Lot, an open parking lot that (like the street parking) has an hourly rate of $3 per hour from 8 AM to 8 PM. If you manage to park there, you can cut through Park Avenue Mall's backdoor (southeast corner of the lot) straight to Banff Avenue. The other main parking area is the Bear Street Parkade. First floor has the same hourly rate as mentioned before with the second floor up completely free. We mostly used the parkade and the only drawback is that so do most people. Be sure to check the counter they have at the entrance for if there are still spaces available on the upper floors. Would absolutely recommend dropping by here to browse. Especially if you're interested in rocks, crystals, and fossils. While there are a lot of pricier items, there are a variety of other more affordable products that make for a great unique souvenir!

The polite staff are quick to serve. I am a gemologist, so I know a thing or two about rocks, gems and jewelry. I am very impressed with their abundance of product knowledge. Really amazing. It's pretty expensive, but the quality is fabulous. Call me a sucker.

Way more memorable and lovable than another sweatshop sweatshirt with the city emblazoned on it in cheap synthetics, get yourself a beautiful handmade ornament featuring illustrations of the local spirit animals, beautiful organic candles made with local flowers, delicate jewellery, cards, prints, delicious Maple sugar candies, and more. There are no photos allowed inside the store, which is annoying but also fine. Grab your shot outside then tuck your phone away and open your eyes wide and enjoy!

Surprisingly it's a big store and they have various sections like white Christmas, sports theme, superhero theme and many more to choose from. There is so much to explore, very colourful and vibrant store, we spent like an hour inside. Even our 7 month old baby loved it, she was just looking around with sparkle in her eyes. We bought few ornaments from there, can't wait to hang them on our Christmas tree this year.

I quite liked the stock and if it hadn't been my max on bags to carrying I would have left with more!! My motto is when in Banff ski, hike, drink and be a general degenerate in my husband's books!! If I can eat it gift and/or drink it why am I here. Each shop is one more stop away from getting myself in trouble but I am up for the challenge. Give this place a walk thru...buy or not they won't care!!! This town is busy, transient and worth more to that family trip than it should be but this magical protected land is a tourist destination for a reason!!!
