The 1932 arena was home to the first indoor skating events in Olympic history and of course the 1980 arena is where the USA Men's Hockey Team won gold over the heavily favored Soviet Team. Pretty darned awesome to see these sites where history happened. And the self-guided tour is free. The Olympic Museum is not. [Round number review 1600 of 2024 - 514 in New York - 22623 overall]

Stepping inside the center was such exciting experience- we were able to see memorabilia's inside the museum, was able to witness intermediate hockey league inside the historic skating arena, was able to see the Olympic skaters dressing rooms and was able to roam around looking on important plaques, photos and banners of Olympic historian athletes. The place is small but gives big opportunity for guests to embrace the world known Olympic history that had happened there.

There's a nice variety of things to do beyond bowling, including arcade games and batting/golf simulators, so it's easy to spend a few hours here with family or friends. Overall, a fun spot with good food, plenty of activities, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for something to do in Lake Placid.

During our trip the sun came out so we decided to have a friendly mini-golf competition. This place…read moreis small and compact for 18 holes and is $9.50/person for adults. It dragged a little because we had two groups, one of 8 and the other 6 even though it says no groups larger than 5 but on the scorecard it has room for 6 names, so go figure. Anyway, on to the course, which was in pretty good shape overall, but like I said before, it's small. It's a good place to kill about 90 minutes or so and, if you're lucky enough, you can win a free game(which doesn't expire) like I did. Oh and the wife did hit a hole in one again during this game, but ultimately lost again! I'm 3 for 3 in games for anyone keeping score. They also have batting cages if that's your thing and a place to just hang out.

We stayed at the High Peaks resort right next door, and their boats weren't out for the season yet - Mirror Lake Boat Rental to the rescue! NOTE: if you are planning to go soon (this review is being written on 4/27/21) this boat rental shop will be VERY DIFFICULT to find. You need to look for the sign I have in my photos that tells you to text the number provided, then follow the dirt path behind the construction to the little desk that will give you instructions. This shop technically does have open hours, but we had to text the owner Greg upon arrival and then waited for him to come down and rent us a boat. In the future, I would recommend just texting before heading down there and meeting him when he's already there. Check out their website for full details of cost and times and such. $30/hour for most of your standard boats, including the fun bikes! We opted for a paddle boat so we could save money and be out on the water together. The hour flew by even though it was a little chilly when the wind blew. Cash only, which is inconvenient but understandable considering this biz is fully outside, and there's an ATM at the resort across the street if you need it. This is a great way to see Mirror Lake from a new vantage point and is TONS of fun. Happy boating!

Terrible. Do not rent a boat from this place. The boats are junk and the owners are very shady…read more I reserved a pontoon boat for two days and I was specifically assured that I would not be expected to take the boat out or pay in the event of rain. Day 1 was okay weather-wise, however the boat itself was dirty, all of the seats were ripped and the carpet became soaked through from the underside. I brought it back in because there was something clearly wrong with the way the motor was sputtering but I was told it sounded normal. Day 2 it rained all day and when I called to discuss this with someone, I was told then owners would need to call me back. I called back 3 more times throughout the day and never heard back from the owners, and of course they charged me full price for the rainy day. I eventually got my money back after going through a dispute process with my cc company. It was clear that the employee that helped me was frustrated and knew he worked for shady owners. I know there are not a lot of options on Lake Placid, but do yourself a favor and find a boat somewhere else. If it were possible to give zero stars, I would.

As a summer visitor to the Lake Placid area, this was a great hidden gem. The beach was in great…read moreshape, and it felt very safe for all ages. Plenty of shallow space for small non-swimmers, and plenty of deeper areas for skilled swimmers. Two jumping platforms, a dock, etc. The lifeguards were attentive.

Going to offer a bit of a different review here…read more I've only ever been to Mirror Lake Public Beach in the winter. Covered in a thick blanket of snow, the surface of the frozen water indistinct from the shoreline itself. It acts as a wonderful launching point for all the things Mirror Lake has to offer in this season. Easily walkable from Main Street and nearby street parking, the beach area is nestled near to the toboggan shoot. Benches are a welcome convenience, especially when you have ice skates in tow. I brought a backpack to carry my boots in case I wanted to prematurely exit the ice before looping back to the beach itself but most folks left them near to this seating without issue. The frozen waters just off shore host a couple small areas for ice hockey and an entrance point to the lengthy pathway visitors may use to walk the perimeter of the icy surface. Beautiful views of the church as well as the expanse of the lake. A place you can sit, watch, and enjoy the scenery... or join in yourself!
