Especially if you are going to do the hike at the top. There are no drinking fountains (the restaurant doesn’t offer tap water either only bottled water) so be sure to bring up a full water bottle.The walk up to the summit is slippery so wear the right shoes, like these Keens.You will want to bring at least a sweatshirt. The weather can be much cooler up top and especially if you plan on hiking to the summit.It is good to make a reservation so you don’t have to wait to get on a tram when you get there.The walk down is a little slippery, but totally do able with more amazing views to take in!

The kids meals are not listed on the menu, but they did have grilled cheese and chicken fingers both with fries. The prices were pretty reasonable with the kids meals being $7.50 CAD and a veggie burger around $16. We also recommend heading up to the restaurant to grab some lunch or dinner. You can also check out the gift shop for souvenirs or a few snacks. When you get to the top you can hang out at the Tram station and take in the views from the multiple view points. The aerial tramway holds 26 people and there is a guide that talks you through what you are seeing and where you are going. The Jasper SkyTram is a great place to start since you get to look out over downtown Jasper and the surrounding area and it gives you a great feel for where you are.
