Got Olympic fever? Known as Olympic City, USA, Colorado Springs is the perfect place to dive into the Olympics all year long. The city is home to the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee Headquarters, 20-plus National Olympic Governing Bodies, more than 50 National Sport Organizations, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum and the Colorado Springs Olympic and Paralympic Training Center.
Nestled in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum inspires visitors to dive into the legacy of America’s greatest athletes. Immersive exhibits and memorable experiences explore the history of the Olympic Games, stories of Olympic greatness, athletes’ training regimens and more.
When you go, make sure to tour the Winter Games Gallery, updated last fall in time for the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Games. The refreshed space features new artifacts and enhanced storytelling to celebrate the achievements of the Winter U.S. Olympians and Paralympians, including Eric Heiden’s five gold medals from the Lake Placid 1980 Games, Picabo Street’s racing helmet from Nagano 1998 and a signed ticket and stadium seat from the 1980 U.S. hockey team’s Miracle on Ice game.
The museum also offers 45-minute, 60-minute and 90-minute guided tours for a deep dive into Olympic history. Book the premium tour for a hands-on torch and medal opportunity, or the Victory on Ice specialty tour for all things Winter Olympics.
Colorado Springs is also home to the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, a world-class training venue for Team USA athletes that boasts Olympic-caliber training facilities, dormitories, dining halls, a sports medicine clinic and a science lab.
Visitors can see all this and more during one-hour guided tours of the Training Center, open year-round.
Self-guided and guided tours available, as well as a combined museum and training center package. Tickets at tickets.usopm.org.
One-hour guided tours depart at the top of each hour on a first-come, first-served basis. Check current operating hours at teamusa.com/visit.
