Experience the Lake Placid Olympic Museum

For a glimpse into the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games, make a stop at the Lake Placid Olympic Museum. Although some past travelers found the property to be on the smaller side, many appreciated the artifacts inside. Exhibits include equipment that belonged to the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" U.S. hockey team, uniforms worn by Lake Placid Olympians during several opening ceremonies, and a collection of sleds and sliding sports gear.

Highlights of the Museum

Within feet of the museum, you'll find four ice complexes, including Herb Brooks Arena where the miraculous 1980 hockey game between the U.S. and the Soviet Union took place.
