Skating at the Olympic Center

The Lake Placid Olympic Center offers a rich skating experience, allowing visitors to glide on the same ice as past Olympians. With both indoor and outdoor facilities, including the historic James C. Sheffield Speed Skating Oval and the 1932 Jack Shea Arena, guests can enjoy year-round skating opportunities. Public skating sessions are available, providing a unique opportunity to skate in venues that have hosted world-class athletes.

In addition to skating, the Olympic Center provides curling sessions suitable for all ages and skill levels. This engaging ice activity does not require skates and is perfect for groups of any size. Each session begins with a brief lesson introducing newcomers to curling, followed by gameplay. Brooms, stones, and safety equipment are provided, and participants are required to wear rubber-soled shoes. Sessions are limited in space and tend to sell out quickly, making it a popular choice for visitors seeking a fun and accessible ice sport.
