U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center — Attraction in Colorado Springs

Today we took some friends visiting to the OTC. We chose the Bronze Tour. It was the lowest quality tour I have been on to date. It took about 30 min not including the video at the beginning, which was the best part. They changed our guide at the last minute to someone (can’t remember his name) who really just was there to use his badge to open locked doors. He didn’t have any information to provide and asked people practicing in each facility to provide information. Another member on the tour gave us all the information about the swimming portion of the tour. It was disappointing because we normally love taking people on the tour.

It felt like we mainly walked outside and looked at the facades with a, "we can't go in there but this is what goes on in there" statement. We were lucky enough to see a couple olympians training while we were there (katie ledecky). It overall felt like it should have been a donation entry. The tour conveniently ended at the pro shop where they attempt to charge you $75 for a plain shirt with the USA logo, $125 for a plain duffle bag with the USA logo, etc. Way Way Way too expensive for...
