Plan Your Trip

There's so much to do here, it can be hard to fit it all in! Take a look at the digital travel panner, or visit the Golden Visitor Centre at 1000 Trans-Canada Highway to pick up print copies of local Golden guides and maps. Open daily during the summer months with friendly welcoming information counsellors and resources.

If the kids are looking for a wildlife thrill, take them to pose for a picture next to Chester Jr at the Rocky Mountain Buffalo Ranch, howl with the wolf family at Northern Lights Wolf Centre, or watch their eyes pop at an up-close experience with Boo the bear at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

The Town of Golden has year-round family recreation programs available.
