There is just no getting around the agendas that go into what to showcase/highlight and what to ignore/downplay.

Hands down, best museum I’ve ever been to!!! It’s interactive experiences and interesting displays are awe inspiring. It was well planned out and designed. Staff was all knowledgeable and personable. Appreciate their hyper-attention to inclusivity and accessibility…it’s poignant. A beautiful, moving exhibit! I would go again and recommend to anyone! Expect a 2-2.5 hour experience when taking time at most displays

This was an unexpected very awesome experience! From the exterior beautiful architecture and landscape, through a very pleasant and kind staff. And the museum itself is high tech and was so enjoyable for the kids. We loved the emphasis on the individuals and the history of Olympics in general. I recommend this to anyone and especially for family activity.

Absolutely incredible museum. I highly recommend it. The price is well worth the admission. First, massive call out for the accessibility and safety of this place. Every video has sign language and subtitles to accompany. It’s super easy to walk around and there are cleaning pads and sanitizer all over the place. I felt very safe here. Amazing historical and modern information, super fun practice activities where you get to run along side athletes and play some sports. I loved it!

Visiting this museum is worth every penny of the admission fee with lots of Olympic history in the latest state of the art digital technology. So awesome to see the collection of Olympic torches and medals. The modern architectural design of the building is highly visible against the backdrop of the traditional brown buildings which Colorado Springs is known for. Highly recommended👌

Wasn’t sure what to expect, very surprised what I found. Enjoyed the visit, the high tech interactive components. Was expecting more materials, but quickly realized that the space is perfect for people in wheelchairs. More places should be this accessible. If your in Colorado Springs, check out the museum, and the video at the end is a must see. Enjoy
