Clock Tower Village Mall is a great place for tourists around the Banff area. There are multiple…read morestores at this location. They are clean and the products are very well-maintained and organized compared to other locations nearby. Currency exchange is also available inside the mall and a Thai restaurant. You can go through and there is an alley and parking spots. The building is maintained and quite nice. Atmosphere is very casual and curated towards tourists. However, I could say that it could be more clean-cut -- attention to detail is very important. Some of the decor is also very tacky which is fair as it is curated towards tourists. All the employees were kind and friendly, taking their time to greet you and asking if you require assistance on anything.

It was my last day in Banff so I knew to pick up a couple of souvenirs for the loved ones at home…read more This spot honestly had the cutest Banff clothes ! I wish I took something back myself but was too indecisive - everything was great! However what stopped me was that a lot of the clothes were on the higher end. I decided to bring back photos as a souvenir for myself. Lots of variety here: clothes, mugs, magnets, and even a kids section. Because I spent more than $35 I got a free Cool As A Moose mug that I gifted to my mom. I can't wait to come back to this spot for souvenirs when I go back to Banff!

Not everything is touristy - some of it is really good quality and they have a pretty large store with a bunch of outdoor items if you are in need of some warm weather gear that you didn't bring and the weather has changed. It's expensive - but the quality seems nice. My husband found a nice hat inside that he loves from Banff to remember our trip.

Great little clothing and accessories boutique located in Clock Tower Village Mall on Banff avenue…read more They've got a pretty sweet clearance rack that you definitely need to check out if you come here. This is a great place to find a souvenir that isn't touristy. I'd much rather come home with a beautiful wrap, dress, or necklace than a Banff coffee mug. Lots of originals accessories here made by hand as well as boutique brands. The store itself is absolutely adorable - love the birch tree patterned fabric on the change rooms! And the store has two entrances - one from Banff avenue and one from within the mall. I will most definitely be back!

There are two sections on this place. One section in a front sells arts and crafts, the second back house, that's attached, sells the First Nation dresses and shirts and other warm clothes. If you look up in the second housing, there are many taxidermy animals, one of which was my favorite, a 38 lbs fish caught in 1928. This place has been in a business easily over 100 years. There stands a sad bear that it's claws were ripped off by this particular communist nationalities...why did they do such a thing? Now this bear has claws glued back on but not original ones. Do not touch those animals but to observe and appreciate them. It's a important piece of a Banff's history and those original residents. They have a small parking. Behind this shop is where the First Nation museum is located which is currently closed till March.

INTERESTING LOCAL BANFF HISTORY…read more The Banff Indian Trading Post is a lot more than a souvenir tourist shop. Located near Banff Ave, this unassuming log cabin is an important part of Banff's local history as we learned during a Town Walking Tour hosted by the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. In the early 1900s, a man named Norman Luxton settled in Banff after coming to the hot springs to recover from a failed attempt to cross the Pacific Ocean in a two man boat. He started a newspaper and set up the trading post from which he traded with the local Indigenous nations. Luxton operated the store with a partner - today the the Trading Post is owned by the partner's daughter who had to agree to Luxton's request that the store be preserved as it has always been. On display inside the Trading Post is a mummified creature named Herman the Merman who also has an interesting backstory. Luxton wanted to start a canoe club on Lake Minnewanka but no one was interested in coming to the haunted lake. Luxton purchased Herman, a "Fiji Mermaid" that was a taxidermy sideshow hoax - the torso of a monkey was attached to the body of a large fish. Luxton staged a struggle with this mer-man as a successful exorcism of the lake. Aside from Herman the Merman, the Trading Post houses a large taxidermy collection including a huge brown bear. The Trading Post also features Indigenous artwork and crafts, many of which are for sale. Next door is the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum, another venture started by Luxton - it is currently operated by the Buffalo Nations Cultural Society.

(I forgot the exchange rate though). They accept all method of payments except a check.
