11+ Reasons Why Lake Placid Is A Winter Vacation Wonderland

11+ Reasons Why Lake Placid Is A Winter Vacation Wonderland
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Museum at the Olympic Center. It's a small but well-done museum and worth the cost of admission to spend an hour or so exploring. The highlight for me was getting to see the torches from about 15 Olympics, starting with the 1936 Berlin games

Highlights: The kids enjoyed the interactive areas, especially the simulated bobsled run. There's a short documentary about the 1980 “Miracle on Ice,” which happened steps away in the Herb Brooks Hockey Arena ✨
