Things To Do
Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehab Center
Kid friendly wildlife sanctuary with several native animals including wolves. Open Thursday through Monday 10am to 4pm.
Cliffside Coaster
As you ride to the top, you’ll learn about the Olympic history of the track. Once at the peak, you’ll be in the driver’s seat, controlling the speed as you zoom alongside the historic 1980 bobsled track, navigating sharp corners, cliffside banks, and long winding stretches.
Lake Placid Olympic Museum
Although not at the top of our "must-do" list, still a fun and interesting activity, especially for rainy days.
Cascade mountain
For those interested in hiking one of the 46 Adirondack high peaks, but have not done so yet, start here (please). Cascade mountain is the easiest of the 46 high peaks yet physically challenging even for experienced hikers. However, the mountain views at the summit are breathtaking. Pack extra water and a sandwich! Not recommended for children under 10.
Copperas Pond
Short, mostly uphill hike to a serene hidden pond. Still challenging yet less intense than a high peak climb. Not recommended for children under 10.
Kayaking and Canoeing
Lost of great spots for paddling in the area!
Downtown Lake Placid
Cute shops, restaurants, bars, a movie theater, Ben & Jerry's ice cream parlor and more!
