If I could give 10 stars I would! As a Massage Therapist myself I have had the pleasure to receive many spa treatments and massages over the last 12 years, but none compare to the Mirror Lake Inn. From beginning to end I was in pure bliss. Every person who works there was beyond nice and accommodating,my therapist Sandy did a fantastic job. I recieved the 80 minute Adirondack Maple Scrub with massage which is started with an amazing scrub where you are showered off with the vichy shower (heaven) once that was finished I was taken to another room for my massage which was just as splendid as the scrub. I find that a lot of times these services seem very rushed and go by quickly, that was not the case here! I floated out of there feeling like I had been in there all day. I was so relaxed, I could not stop smiling. I cannot wait to plan my next trip to this spa, it does not disappoint!

Mirror Lake has it all - wonderful views; calm lake water; a 2.7 mile interlocking brick pathway all the way around, including part of the downtown street; a small sandy beach; a toboggan run in winter right onto the frozen lake!; kayaks to rent; flowers and flowering shrubs in May/June; and I must have forgotten something! We walked the loop 3 times during our week's stay, and saw walkers, joggers, families, mom's with strollers! Mirror Lake is well worth the stay in Lake Placid!

My friend and I took a roadtrip to celebrate a decade mark birthday. This was my present for her. We had to take a quad as the tandems were all rented but had no issues with it. The day was glorious- perfect weather. The 3+ mile ride through the woods on the tracks we filled with yellow butterflies. The would follow us for awhile then fly off. The view from the bridge we crossed was amazing! We loved the halfway point down by the river. The entire team was friendly and accommodating making it even a better experience. This was one of the best tours I have ever taken and would recommend this to anyone.

We took the ride up the mountain on the chair lift to check out the fall colors. The wait time was acceptable being a Saturday, around 40 to 45 minutes. The ticket price was reasonable and the leaf colors were at peak.

9. The Olympic Center

Walk through the Olympic Center and you’ll see hallways adorned with plaques and banners toting the achievements of past Olympians. You’ll find a museum filled with memorabilia, photos, and video footage from the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Games. In the Olympic Center and on its grounds are skating rinks, open to the public, where gold medals have been won – including the famous Herb Brooks Arena where the “Miracle On Ice” game was played and the speed skating Oval where many Olympic and other international speed skating competitions have been held.

My family and I visited the Lake Placid Olympic Center in July. Now to clarify, the Olympic Center encompasses several tripadvisor "things to do". The Olympic Center includes the Herb Brooks Arena, two other ice arenas, and the Lake Placid Olympic Museum. So my rating for this facility includes all of those places. First of all, the arena itself is no great shakes--it's a small sports arena. However, what elevated this experience from humdrum to fascinating was two things--the museum and the tour (these are separate). We first entered the facility from the wrong end and found ourselves wandering the locker room smelling halls and wondering what we were doing. We finally got ourselves oriented and entered the main entrance, where the door for the LPOlympic Museum was located. This museum is tiny, but jam-packed full of interesting items. All four of us, mom, dad and two teens were kept busy looking at the exhibits. They include plenty of hands on things (like getting on a bobsled, luge and skeleton to see what it's like). There was also a fun scavenger hunt which my kids really enjoyed. They also continually play the original broadcast from the Miracle on Ice win by the US mens hockey team over the Soviets during the Olympics, which was fun to watch. After an hour looking around (we weren't finished), we headed out of the museum and went immediately upstairs where we bought tickets for the Olympic Center tour from a small kiosk (CASH only, and there's an ATM around the corner if needed). THIS TOUR IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without this tour the center would get 3 stars. Our tour guide is Sean (I'm guessing he's the only one who does tours) and he is simply AMAZING. A complete mine of information. He took us all around the facility, showed us the interesting spots, and never stopped telling amazing stories about this facility. His tour brought the place to life. Without his information and guidance the building would be just another smelly arena. The tour was long--supposed to be 60 minutes but it was more like 80. Not that we were complaining--it was so fascinating I could have listened to him longer. And my family and I are not sports buffs at all. There are chances to sit during the tour and that helps but there is a lot of walking and standing and it would not be handicapped accessible based on what we did. After the tour, we did the short ride where you can "experience" riding a bobsled, luge, skeleton and ski jump, which was fun and perfectly fine for my family but I wouldn't do it with kids under 6 (it's a jerky motion ride). We then went back to the museum to finish up what we missed the first time around. We easily spent 3 hours here and it was the best thing we did in Lake Placid.

I love everything about this place... the employees, the atmosphere, the BREWS! I always start with a sampler flight to try out their new stuff. Reasonable prices, lots of IPA's if that's your thing. nd if you want to bring some home, no growler needed - they can it! Pretty cool. It's so close to the water park, I suspect many a father has escaped the screaming children to seek refuge and a cold beer...
