    I enjoyed the experience but the tour I received just felt like the guide picked up the gig at the last moment on their way to lunch and kinda put half effort into it. It felt like we mainly walked outside and looked at the facades with a, "we can't go in there but this is what goes on in there" statement. We were lucky enough to see a couple olympians training while we were there (katie ledecky). It overall felt like it should have been a donation entry. The tour conveniently ended at the pro shop where they attempt to charge you $75 for a plain shirt with the USA logo, $125 for a plain duffle bag with the USA logo, etc. Way Way Way too expensive for a gift shop.

    This place was incredible. The tour was incredible! As a former collegiate boxer, seeing the facilities that the world's best train in was astounding and gave me goosebumps. I want to especially call out the tour guide. I am terrible with names but he was from Brooklyn and ran track in college. He was awesome, knowledgeable in EVERY sport that was mentioned and relayed the awe of the entire facility very well.

    Such a great experience to see where our athletes live and train. The tour was great as we walked thru all the training venues. We later shopped at the Olympic store for gifts.

    So cool to get a behind the scenes look at where some of the best athletes in the world train to compete at the top of their game. One of 2 Olympic training centers in the US alongside Lake Placid. Our tour guide Bob was super knowledgeable about the athletes and facilities. Even took some trivia curve balls we threw at him in stride and definitely knows his stuff! Some 15 yrs of experience working at the center! Every athlete we ran into throughout the campus was super friendly yet you could tell they were extremely focused on what they were there to do. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

    We went on the bronze tour. It took about 2 hours, and we were able to see the conditioning space, rehabilitation center, pool, basketball court, wrestling and boxing rooms, and shooting range. I haven’t visited the OTC since early 2013 and I’m so impressed with how different the facilities are now! Amelia Moore was our tour guide and she facilitated an incredibly captivating, joyous, and entertaining tour full of fun facts and little stories. Highly recommend! ***Google maps took us to the employee and athlete entrance - the entrance for visitors is a left turn at the light before google will tell you to turn, if you are coming from Platte ave.

    My friend and I arrived to the center at the start of a tornado warning. The center made sure everybody was safe by sheltering in place with good communication throughout, letting us know the status of the tours. Our tour guide, Bob, did a fantastic job keeping us out of the weather and showing us the ins and outs of the facilities where the Olympians train. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and flexible. We even saw some Karate sessions! Highly recommend.

    Very cool experience to see where some of the Olympians train & live. We had an amazing tour guide that was very knowledgeable. I learned a lot. I appreciated the tour guides firsthand stories about seeing some of the Olympians like Michael Phelps on site over the years. We did the Bronze tour and it was comprehensive enough for us. Next time I will try one of the other tours to compare. It was inspiring! Beautiful facility.

    THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! I spent the money on the Gold Tour and it was worth it. Had an awesome guide who took us everywhere and met Coach Zadick, HC of the Freestyle Wrestling team (big for me as I am a wrestling fan). Then got to have lunch with our group in the Athlete dining hall.

  • 4/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on a tour July 4th weekend so there were not many athletes around, just campers, We did get a discount on the tour that was ably led by an Olympic Triathlete (her side gig?). She was super knowledgeable and friendly. The facilities themselves were less advanced and impressive that I expected, but the tour was interesting and informative. We got to see the weight room, shooting range, PT/health center, wrestling, and swimming venues. Worth a stop if you are a sports or Olympics fan. There is a gift shop and the stuff there is incredibly overpriced. Note: masks are required on the tour, even outdoors (?) and even when there are no athletes around. Seemed unnecessary, but everyone complied. It did make the tour guide hard to understand, especially since we had such a large group.

    Great tour. We did the Bronze tour with Payton. It was very informative and we got to see a lot the complex. We were able to go into the weight room, wresting gym, pool, basketball, gymnastics and shooting range. Everyone we encountered was very nice and we go to see athletes training for the 2020 Olympics.

    Our tour guide was a member of the US Women's Triathlon team. She was intimately familiar with the facility and life as an athlete. It was very insightful and the facility was impressive. There is an inspiring video presentation before the walking tour and a gift shop full of Team US gear. All-in, we were there for about two hours.

    I joined the US National Team for Alpine Skiing (Paralympic) and have had the opportunity to visit the CSOPTC two times now. What an amazing facility and opportunity to train. Their housing is great as is their cafeteria. A great all around facility. Open to the public for tours and group tours as well. Highly recommend visiting to see where all the best teams train and live.

    Great experience touring the OTC for the second time. We did this tour about 5 years ago and it's changed a decent amount since then as the OTC has changed and supports different sports currently. Our tour guide, Ashley, was wonderful and easy to book with. The price of the tour is really reasonable, it's accessible, a good length, and goes into good depth on life at the OTC. It would be fun to see more athletes training but that seems a bit seasonal. The gift shop selection needs a bit of help, otherwise great!

    Such a great experience to see where our athletes live and train. The tour was great as we walked thru all the training venues.

  • 5/5 MIRAMAR251 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! Make sure you have enough time to really enjoy it. I took two hours and felt rushed to get out before they closed.

  • 5/5 Robert 1 year ago on Google
    The facility is beautiful! It’s a great place to walk and look at the scenery. The grass and trees are green and they have a nice gift shop, there’s lots of history here. The Wrestling room is awesome it’s something to see, it’s a world-class training room. The dorms are amazing for the athletes and their dining facility is top notch. If you see an Athlete walking around say hello to them They are the hardest working Athletes in the world!!!
