This is a must if you are in the Lake Placid area. The lift to the top of the ski jump was worth the price of admission not to mention the guys who were actually practicing the day we visited. They would go down the sky jump and flying to the bottom and landing on astro-turf thus they can practice... More

You can't fully appreciate the enormity of the ski jumps w/o visiting in person. Especially interesting if visiting during the summer on a Wed. when the int'l teams practicing there put on a show. More

Chairlift wasn't operational. We arrived to find the woman who sold tickets screaming at people who attempted to walk down the ski jumping hill. Yes, they were idiots to do what all signs told them not to do but I don't think she handled this correctly and made people around the area uncomfortable. We purchased tickets and then had to...

This was included in our package stay with the Northwoods Inn so we stopped by. Both the children and the adults enjoyed it. It would not be worth making a special trip just for this attraction but if you are in the area, it's cool to see. More

We spent about an hour in here with four kids (10, 8, 8 and 4). They all enjoyed something different but it was wirthbgoing to see all the old sleds, skates and uniforms (kids and adults loved the retro asics "moonboots"!). They show footage from the 1980 Olympic Games on several tvs and we perhaps we are easily amused but... More

Great to see this in person. Road the chair lift to top of the hill, then took the elevator to top of the ski jump. Watched people praticing their jumps. Saw the beginners to the professional practice. More
