$$ U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum
200 S Sierra Madre St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903
The most-awarded museum design of the past decade — a gleaming downtown landmark with hands-on exhibits where you can ski-jump, sprint, and shoot arrows against Team USA athletes. The most fun museum in town, hands down.
Book timed-entry tickets online — walk-ups are often turned away on weekends. Allow 2 to 2.5 hours for the full experience; the interactive sports challenges are the kids’ highlight and the adults’ surprise. Wheelchair-accessible throughout — designed from the ground up to be the most accessible museum in the U.S.
Combine with lunch downtown and a stroll along America the Beautiful Park, directly across the street.
