The pro's are that it's free, parking is free, and it gives you a little insight into what our olympic athletes go through to make it to the top. The cons are that you can be stuck in a very large group (reservation or not) and you don't really get to enter all of the buildings. There is quite a... More

Set up very well. Gives you an extra proud sense to be American. I was unable to take the tour, but I am sure it is fabulous as well

The only thing good was the welcome area where they showed different displays such as how long the longest jump was, etc. But the tour was not worth your time.

I have been to other olympic sites in the US, and this one does not have as much to see. Our tour guide was a bit under-enthused, and there really wasn't that much to see. A pleasant diversion, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

Maybe my expectations were high because of the positive reviews, but I think they need more at the tour. The best part...it was FREE! There is a small rotunda and hallway inside the visitor's center as well as a store. The movie was also nice. The walk was easy and not difficult. But only got to see the men's gymnastics... More

The tour is about an hour long and gets you into the buildings and a nice narrative about the center and what its like to live there from a resident. if you are fortunate enough to get Jesse Beckom as your guide you will have a great...

It is inspiring and athletically educational to visit th Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. This is not an amusement park so don't expect top athletes to be jumping out at you or thrill rides to pique your interest. However, the tour does provide insight into how our top athletes in each of the sports are able to attain peak... More

Worth the visit which takes 1-2 hours maximum. Presents a nice if very brief overview of location where some of the Olympic athletes train. Only negative was the guide who while knowledgeable was rather brusque.
