Amazing experience going up in the gondola and then in the elevator. Wish the outside section would have been open, but so cool watching the skiers do practice jumps!!!

Went to ski jumping competition this past weekend and had a blast. Gondola ride to the top offers great views and the line moved quickly. Vendor lines were pretty long, but everyone was happy hanging out. Parking was a bit awkward with the lot being full, but we saw many other people parking on the side of the road nearby.

This place was so cool, I wasn’t sure that it was open but if you drive past the guard shack, you can go right down to the clubhouse. It was 20 bucks to take a gondola ride to the top and then you could take an elevator to the top of the tall tower. The view was fantastic and the day that we were there they were practicing for a meet the next day. A really fun experience.

In town for the Can/AM hockey tournament. We received free admission with our "special badges" We were lucky enough to be there on a day with some of the athletes making runs, which was amazing to watch in person. The staff was friendly and shared lots of information about the facility.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The views, of course, were beautiful! 2 of my grandkids went down the zipping and had good time.

Great experience, go early in the day to see practice runs. We went in August and the views were incredible from the top.

We visited on a weekday. It was definitely a spectacular site when we arrived. My disappointment was that we paid full price and were not informed that the outside deck at the top of the ski jumping complex was closed for maintenance. We rhode the gondola up, took the elevator, only to be able to look out of enclosed windows. So disappointed. I also expected the staff to be more welcoming and act more like tour guides. For $40.00 it just didn’t seem worth it.

Who says you can’t be a kid again at 50? Riding the Mt. Van Hoevenberg sled track was like jumping straight into an Olympic daydream I’ve had since 1980! The moment that sled took off, I was grinning like a 10-year-old watching the Winter Games on a grainy TV. The speed, the curves, the rush—absolutely unreal. The crew was fantastic—professional, friendly, and just as excited as I was. For a few glorious seconds, I wasn’t a middle-aged guy with a mortgage—I was an Olympian flying down the track. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to live that dream, trust me: DO IT. You’re never too old to fly! Time line- went in the fall just as trees were changing colour which made it ready beautiful. Lots of parking and I would get a ticket online as it can be an hour wait for time slot and another hour lined up

High Falls Gorge was very nice but it's one falls with views from several locations. Don't expect to see more than one falls. A little pricey in my opinion, although I can see it's a big investment for the pathway.

Best-maintained trails. If you want to do a short hike, that's the place. You will have a great view at the top, and hiking on-site is free. As a bonus, you can see the bobsleigh track. They offer rides on a real bobsleigh, but it is only on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and not all year long. There's also a mountain tour on rails available. It's a clean and fun place to visit.

We had a blast. Our son hurt his ankle earlier at home and a medic team checked him out as if he was an Olympic athlete!! Melissa and Noah you ROCK!! The deck overlooking the coaster had a small bar which was helpful while we watched the boys “slide”. Excellent memories made! Bucket list checked! Perfect birthday experience for our 11 year old grandson!

We had so much fun! All the staff in the climbing room were great especially Cat who was super helpful and kind. We went on a rainy day and it was the perfect activity to do in Lake Placid. I never did it before but my friends have and we all had a great time. I was worried when I saw a lot of people in the lobby but there were other tours and things going on at the complex and they limit the number of people per hour in the climbing room so it’s very comfortable. It looks narrow but there’s actually lots of space to try different climbs. I will be back!

The location is amazing. Building is very modern and has a lot of facilities. Shopping, ticket counter, food court, seating area, etc. are all inside. Very short walk to costed and the Bobsledge. Be mi dful to download the maps to this place and from this place to your next destination. The signal is very spotty to none. My van navigation also lost signal here. Otherwise, it is a nice place to spend half a day with kids. I am not sure if the building has wifi so that you can get the route on Google before you get into the car.

We went on the legacy tour of the bob sled facility and it was absolutely amazing, you got to actually walk on the actual track, like in the corners and the starting area, so far the best tour yet! And for 15$ best deal of our vacation, such a beautiful facility and they have a nice cafe as well, we had Chilli fries and you get agiant portion for 8$ our tour guide was super nice and very knowledgeable, I would go back!

We were trying to do a hike in the lake glass area, but it was raining so we decided to visit the Lake Placid Olympic museum instead. As soon as I can, there’s the gift shop on the right and the desk where you buy tickets. There is a fun interactive museum that takes no longer than 30 minutes to visit completely. Upstairs, you’ll see the 1980 famous ice rink where the miracle on ice happened, and the 1932 ice rink just down the hall. Very cool to visit and experience. Beautiful new complex and good facilities as well.

We recently took a tour of the Lake Placid Olympic Museum and were absolutely blown away. The exhibits are incredibly well done and so interesting, with a great mix of historical artifacts, interactive displays, and moving tributes to the 1932 and 1980 Games. Our tour guide was fantastic! They were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, bringing the history of Lake Placid and the Olympics to life with fascinating stories and fun facts. They were also great at answering all our questions and made the entire experience very engaging and entertaining. This was so much more than just walking through a museum; the guided tour really enriched the visit and gave us a deeper appreciation for the Olympic legacy here. If you visit, do yourself a favor and get the guided tour

History comes to life. An incredible museum displaying original attire, Olympic torches, and other artifacts from 1932 and 1980 games. Of course, the main attraction is the Miracle on Ice exhibit and the chance to walk onto the rink where it all happened. A well thought out museum with carefully curated memorabilia, this one of a kind time capsule is a must visit.

Amazing olympic museum in beautiful lake placid. They have old Olympic torches that youre able to hold which is fun, and a lot of great history and memorabilia from the iconic USA winning hockey team. It goes into detail about the real life events that inspired the movie 'Miracle on Ice'.

Parking at the central school lot was a short walk to the rink, but it would be closed if school is in session. Experiencing a women’s USA hockey practice was very cool. It’s very loud and interactive with the coaches. If you’re lucky they might throw a puck over the glass for you. The museum had interactive things too. We especially enjoyed the virtual bobsled because the actual track is being renovated. We even were able to watch women’s figure skating practice at the 1932 rink.

Some videos and great history. Lots to take in. You can visit by here and not go to the museum as they let you wunder all over the place except the museum. 15 - 12 bucks to walk museum, not bad.

We had a wonderful time touring this facility. The guided tour was very enjoyable, and we learned a lot!

Fantastic mountain with options for both long and short trails. Moderately challenging hike with a gorgeous view waiting once you reach the top.

Such a great experience. We did the steep shorter hike up and the long way down. The summit is amazing. The steep path is more physical than I thought it would be and less marked so be ready for that.

Great little hike. Well worth the climb. There are two trails to the summit. The long trail is more gradual and less steep. The short trail is a bit steeper and harder to hike. At the summit there are great views of the nearby high peaks. As well as heart lake. Mount Jo is located within the ADK mountain club. Parking is available for a fee. Please note the parking lots fill up fast.

My first mountain climb, thought I was going to die - it was hot, humid and I was not prepared; mentally or physically. Having said that, I'm so glad I pushed through and completed the trail, the summit is well worth the trek up the short route! Photos don't do it justice, I sat in awe for a while, absorbing the beauty and energy. Saved the coordinates for future climbs, but I'll bring water this time :)

Perfect amount of difficulty for a day hike with a great payoff. $18 to park. Views on the way up were even better than the summit imo!

Quiet a fun hike, and well-marked. Parts of the hike were a bit strenuous, but overall it was worth the wonderful views at the summit

Yesterday, I went to Mount Jo with my dad for my first actual hiking trip! The summit view was amazing. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Highly recommend for first-timers!

Nice, informative, quaint, quiet, place to visit with several trails between .5 to almost 2 mile trails. One trail walks by the ski jumps with a nice distraction on the trail. The trails are calm and even with a very hurt knee was still very walkable!

Fascinating attraction of great historical significance. I definitely recommend taking the time to do the audio tour and to check out both the John Brown House and the museum pieces in the barn. It’s interesting to have such a legendary historical figures home (and grave) literally in the shadow of the Olympic Ski Jump - it’s surreal.

Don't let the peaceful setting fool you! Tons of things to learn here. The farmhouse featured many artifacts and a very informative movie. The Timbuctoo exhibit was very thought provoking. We were fortunate enough to visit during the Americans Who Speak Truth exhibit. Highly recommend.

If you’re coming to Lake Placid, make sure to stop by the John Brown Farm which is a state historic site. You can learn about the abolitionist and see where he was buried and tour his home. In the barn building is more information about John Brown. While we were there, a young girl was catching frogs and releasing them in the water. If you love history, you’d appreciate this place! The staff on site were very helpful. The grounds keeper gave us lots of facts about the home! Entry is free, but if you make a donation it will help preserve the history for future generations!

Wonderfully maintained and moving exhibits. The systemic racism, good people who fought it, and obvious need to continue the fight jumps out to the visitor. The temporary "Truth Speakers" exhibit was particularly moving. As of October 2025 it was free to visit; donations suggested.

Excellent place to visit for lovers of history. While John Brown's body might be a moulderin' in the grave, his soul goes marching on.

Visited for the eclipse but was just as engaged by the fascinating and significant history of this almost sacred place. John Brown, who is buried here with much of his family and supporters, was centuries ahead of his time in terms of race relations and truly realizing the lofty promises set forth in our founding documents. And this museum captures the essence of his efforts with concise, straightforward exhibits that visually engage and contextualize the events that immortalized John Brown in the annals of U.S. history.
