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.

I literally stumbled across this place while fighting for my life after forgetting to eat breakfast…read moreand let me tell you: the food is amazing + very reasonably priced. It was so good that I came back hours later to have dinner! I'm picky about my wings & I would come here way too often if I lived closer! Fries were very tasty, the garlic ones were recommended to me over the regular ones and they did not disappoint! Jim and Isaac were excellent--friendly, fast, and polite despite being slammed. Y'all rock!

I recently stopped by Big Z in Lake Placid and tried their spicy chicken sandwich with fries…read more Overall, it was okay -- nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. The spicy chicken sandwich was pretty basic. I was expecting a little more kick, but the heat level was mild at best. The chicken itself was decent, but it didn't have that bold flavor or crispiness that makes you crave it again. It felt more like a standard chicken sandwich with a light seasoning rather than something truly "spicy." The fries were actually the highlight of the meal. They were hot, crispy, and seasoned well -- definitely better than the sandwich in my opinion. If I were to go back, it would probably be more for the fries than the main dish. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Staff seemed fine and everything looked well kept, which I definitely appreciate. However, the price of the food didn't quite match the flavor or overall experience. For what you pay, I was expecting something a bit more memorable.

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.

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!
