What travelers are saying
- Traveler-from-Bmore9 contributionsA must see while in Lake Placid. Go on a clear sunny day if possible for the best views. Take the gondola ride up to the first landing area then an elevator to the top of the ski jump for the best views.Written April 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Heddy GMalvern, PA582 contributionsbeautiful lake to walk around. close to shops and restaurants as well. we enjoyed the short (less than 3 miles) paved loop around it.Written October 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brendan G1 contributionThe “short” trail is actually more difficult and the “long” trail isn’t much longer and is easier. We did the short trail up and the long trail down. The way up is basically climbing up and over boulders at an incline the whole way. Was a lot of fun but pretty intense. This is not your average hike (short trail.) bring plenty of water. Arrive before 8am or at or after 2pm when others are leaving. We got there at 2:30 and had open parking spots. On a Saturday.Written February 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jpgina53Boston, MA522 contributionsWe were only able to do a drive by of this meaningful site. The burial spot was beautiful and moving with a statue and flowers and appropriate small signs. It is a must see for history buffs and civil rights activists. There are buildings which can be toured. Sight is not far from Olympic Si Jump Complex.Written August 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Robert CamperConcord, NH110 contributionsThis museum highlights the two Olympics held in Lake Placid. If you are a fan of the winter Olympics, this is a great way to spend a couple hours. Probably not very interesting for kids (ours were off hiking, so just my wife and I). We have some memories of "the Miracle on Ice" when USA won the gold in Hockey, which happened in that building. There is a little video thing of a bobsled run, and a video of going off a ski jump (which actually caused my stomach to feel a little strange). And there is a little video of the miracle on ice, the rest are static displays. Olympic torches, pins, metals, costumes/ uniforms, athletes... There was some kind of dance/ ice skating competition going on when we were there, which was a paid admission event, so the nice woman taking those tickets was letting folks in to see the ice rink, just for a minute or two, just from the entrance (since we had not paid to see the competition). It was worth it for us, but visit would have been much shorter if we had our two, under 20 year old kids with us. Just more interesting if you have some memory of the last Olympics held there, or a general interest in the winter Olympics.Written August 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beth SSouth Lake Tahoe, CA491 contributionsWe had a nice drive up to see the lake. The fall colors were wonderful, and I made the drive interesting. You need to dress for the weather, because the wind can be very chilly. On a holiday Monday, many shops were super closed.Written October 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kelly P10 contributionsWe visited when there was winter competitions taking place...both xc skiing and luge. Very neat to see winter athletes in action. Authentic experience. The mountain coaster was closed....I imagine that would be a fun experience.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom GPhoenixville, PA12 contributionsThe town of Lake Placid was very nice - the main street lined with many shops and restaurants. Mirror lake was beautiful. Plenty of scenic spots to relax and enjoy.
Never could access Lake Placid itself. So I have no idea what it looks like, They need to put some access points in to see the Lake.Written October 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Really good teachers, and we learned a lot. Reasonable prices for the introductory classes, too.Written January 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tony AtkinsBulls, New Zealand48 contributionsGreat place to watch hockey with family and friends we were lucky enough to watch an invitational tournament at the facility w here the USA won there gold medal match against the USSR.
