Things to Do
Lake Placid Olympic Museum
A short walk from the Golden Arrow. Sitting adjacent to the location of the “Miracle On Ice” is the Lake Placid Olympic Museum, a multi-exhibit monument to the Olympic heart and soul of Lake Placid. Multi-media exhibits and memorabilia displays transport visitors into Olympic history!
Olympic Jumping Complex
An eight-passenger gondola takes you up to the base of the ski jumping towers, where you’ll find the newly-remodeled scenic elevator. The glass exterior of the elevator provides a stunning bird’s-eye view of the Adirondack High Peaks as you ascend to the sky deck of the 128-meter ski jump. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of Lake Placid.
Lake Placid Toboggan Chute
Open only in the winter, this 30-foot high structure sends toboggans down an ice-covered chute onto frozen Mirror Lake. Depending on weather conditions, toboggans can travel more than 1,000 feet once they reach the frozen lake surface. To ensure the safety of riders, only one sled is sent down at a time.
Dog Sled Rides
There are two dog sled teams operating on Mirror Lake, one team can be found at 1 Main St. Park, (on the ice behind Players Sports Bar) and the second team is located on the ice behind the Golden Arrow Resort. Available if the lake is frozen.
