My wife and I took a tour of the Sports Complex and Olympic Museum this past weekend. We had a great experience. The tour was lead by Shaun Donovan who's knowledge about the events and history was amazing. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Lake Placid area. Mark & Arlene Callahan
The Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum is a must for those interested in the legacy of the 2 Lake Placid Winter Games (1932, 1980), and to enhance your general knowledge of the Olympic movement. With the Winter Games set for February 2014, this would be a timely visit for you.

We visited the Museum for the second time and we had an amazing time. Our kids are 5 and 9 yo and they loved it. This time we spent more time watching all the videos and reading about all the exhibits. Overall it was a very interesting experience.
This is a must see if you are a winter sports fan. Includes memorabilia from 1980 Miracle on Ice and many medals

I attended the Olympic Museum while in Lake Placid for a hockey tournament. It was a nice break after a tiring game. The man running the museum gave us some interesting info on Bobsledding which was nice. Had trouble pulling my teammates away from the 1980 Miracle on Ice running continuously on the TV.
Skiing can take a toll on your quads. Take a day off and skate the Olympic Oval and check out the museum. You can poke through this museum for a few hours, reading every detail, or fly through it in 90 min with kids that like to see the highlights - figure skating costumes, bob sled and Olympic uniforms. Either...
