I figured that the gondola would be worth it and if we chickened out when it came time to do the zipline, that would be fine. We really enjoyed the gondola ride up and the staff at the bottom and the top were so nice and helpful. We enjoyed taking the elevator to the top of the tall ski hill. Some great history of the Olympic games and how they ended up in Lake Placid a second time. The views were spectacular (even in the rain) and you really can't get a better vantage point. I would say if you have vertigo, getting close to the (safely protected) edges of the viewing platforms can make you a little dizzy because those hills are steep! In any event, we did the tour then went to the zipline. The guys working it were super friendly and helpful and they reassured about the daily testing and safety of the ride so we all decided to give it a go and it was definitely a highlight of our visit to Lake Placid. My mother-in-law enjoyed it so much! I was so glad we did it and appreciative of the workers for making us so comfortable. We decided to ride the gondola again back up and down the mountain to enjoy the view on the way down since we had our eyes closed on the zipline. Definitely a great place to visit while in Lake Placid.

Came here as part of the Olympic passport, which was a good value all things considered. You…read morecannot miss the ski jumps when driving into town. By visiting here, you can take a gondola to the halfway point up, and then an elevator to the top of the highest jump. Gondola ride itself is very cool, and the elevator can be overwhelming however you can stay in the indoor cabin at the top versus going outside to climb the final staircase. It's crazy that from the very top, you cannot see the landing zone at the bottom. Expect a wealth of factoids and sweeping views of the area. The staff can answer just about any Olympics question you can think of. Came blame them, as this is a very cool place to work. Not sure how repeatable this is unless you upgrade to a tour with an athlete demonstrating the jump, or the zip line which launches from the hallway point, however at worst it's well worth the 1 visit.

I think there are some mom and pop places around within about 10 minutes in a car. A half a mile down the road there is a yacht club with fine dining. The station agent, Ms. Cathy was very helpful with information about train the status and any other questions I had. The also have clean bathrooms inside and one outside (I didnt look). The have a limited amount of longterm parking (claims 20, but ors really like 10, excluding the section for handicap tags. I am really glad I came to this idyllic location. Note: this is a rural station operating inside a town theater, as a wait station. Hours are 12:30 - 4:30pm and there are no ticket sales.

Burlington, Vermont is one of my top 3 happy places! I have lived in New York and California, I've…read moreseen some really beautiful places in those states, but this spot has my heart forever. The beautiful mountains and the lake just make me smile! This college town has a fairly liberal vibe and most residents love Vermont's Senator Bernie Sanders, who used to be the mayor of this city. Church Street is always a must do, this is Burlington's pedestrian friendly shopping and dining district. It's a bit like Santa Monica's Third St Promenade in Los Angeles. This area is quite lively most of the time, but if you wander a block or two away, you will find some better priced restaurants. For a small city in a mostly rural state, I'd consider this a foodie town. One of my more recent discoveries up here is the delicious hard cider! I highly recommend visiting Citizen's Cider, so tasty! If you love the outdoors, this is the place to be! This region features skiing, hiking, water sports and a host of other outdoor activities. They have some great biking trails here as well! In my opinion, one of the top notch east coast ski resorts (Stowe) is located within 1 hour of here. Heck, even if it's not ski season, it's nice to head over there for a gondola ride, hard cider breweries, cheese tastings, hikes and more. I love to end my day down by the lake watching the sunset! Grab a drink at Splash at the Boathouse or just chill near the rocks and watch the sun go down behind the mountains. I currently live in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area, a location packed with too many angry people, so now it's even more of a treat to come to serene Burlington! This place is amazing, so many friendly faces and a nice laid back vibe.

I am from Boston, Massachusetts but I will say that I love the charming city of Burlington because…read morethey are both in New England, but also because Burlington is a smaller, more quaint and friendlier version of Boston. Every time I talk to someone from Burlington, they are always friendly and willing to help in any way that they can. You wouldn't think so with the weather they get here in the winter, but it doesn't seem like the bitter cold makes anyone here bitter or mean. University of Vermont makes up a lot of this city and I am glad it does, it encourages people living in the area to go to a great school despite the surburban feel of Vermont. Burlington, don't lose your charm.

What a horrendous experience…read more December 2024 we left my husbands truck for 7 days and scheduled a detail. The detail was poorly done so management offered to re-clean it and refund the charge. May 2025 we left my car for 10 days and scheduled a detail. We called the day after we left to make sure everything was all set, since we had to leave my car at the airport and not at the park and wash (they were closed by the time we got to the airport). They said they had the car and they'd get it cleaned. Great. We arrive to pick up my car after our trip and they can't even find it. After 10 min of searching for my keys, the shuttle driver decides to ride around their lots with my husband to try and find it. Lo and behold, it never got cleaned while we were gone. The guy was apologetic and encouraged us to call the manager on Monday. So we did. After a few days of various excuses as to what happened, and different stories from each person, we're told we can come in on a weekend and have it done for free. Both ended up being lies. No weekend would actually work for them - so we scheduled for the week of July 4th as I'd be on vacation and wouldn't need my rig for work. Arrive to drop off my car on 7/2 and we're told the detail won't be free. Had we known this was going to happen, we would've gone elsewhere. Especially considering the place is totally out of our way. After a lot of back and forth with my very angry husband, the rude kid at desk and the manager Tammy, I agreed to pay a discounted rate and to pick it up the next day. The next day comes and I walk in. The kid at the desk immediately calls for the manager, Tammy. Tammy tells me there's an additional fee for pet hair. They claim I never mentioned that their would be hair in the vehicle - which was also a lie as my husband and I had stated throughout our many conversations with both people that my vehicle is used for business/there are multiple dogs in my car every single day. I laughed and said whatever. Paid $280 for a detail (including tip) and walked out. The best part? The detail job was absolute garbage. Definitely not worth what I paid OR the headache of dealing with this company. Half the car is clean, and the other half isn't. What's clean was so fully coated in oil that it's like a slip and slide. They also left my car unlocked in the parking lot over night. This place might be OK to just drop your vehicle off at while you're on vacation - but if anything goes wrong, I can imagine they'd be too helpful. Definitely save yourself the headache and get your car detailed somewhere else. Pictures of both mine and my husbands vehicles immediately after being detailed. I'd be embarrassed to send vehicles out like this.

RIght in the center of Burlington you will find beautiful Church Street Marketplace. The…read moremarketplace is a pedestrian zone that spans a few blocks and is filled with shops, restaurants, and cafes. It's very pleasant to stroll along Church Street, especially in the summertime and there are plenty of benches where you can sit and people watch. Church Street Marketplace has a mixture of chain and local stores. You can find everything from used books, to outdoor gear to name brand clothing. My favorite stores at Golden Hour where you can find lots of cute gifts, Smugglers Notch Distillery where you can sample delicious vodka, gin, bourbon, and maple liqueur, and Flora & Fauna - a second floor store filled with curiosities and oddities. Unfortunately, The 10,000 Villages store that I always enjoyed visiting, the Sox Market, and the Earthbound Store that I always found beautiful clothing in have all closed. There's also a great Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop on Church Street, several restaurants in a range of price levels, and some very comfortable cafes. Definitely a place you will want to spend some time visiting when you are in Burlington.
