Introduction to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center

The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center is the premier training facility for the U.S. Olympic team and serves as the active headquarters of the U.S. Olympic Committee. This complex provides practice facilities for a variety of competitive sports, including fencing, gymnastics, wrestling, shooting, swimming, track cycling, and boxing, accommodating thousands of Olympic athletes annually. Begin your visit at the visitor center, where you will find comprehensive information about the entire complex.

Visiting the Training Center

Self-Guided Visits and Tours

While visitors have the option to explore the property independently, it is recommended by some travelers to join a guided tour. A distinctive feature of these tours is that they are often led by athletes currently training at the center, which many recent visitors highlighted as a memorable experience. However, be aware that only Visa, an official sponsor of the Olympic Games, is accepted here as a payment method; no cash is accepted. Additionally, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum is located 2.5 miles southwest of the training center.

Admission and Hours of Operation

The Olympic & Paralympic Training Center is open from Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission fees are $15 for adults, $11 for children aged 5 to 12, and $13 for seniors, military personnel, teachers, and first responders. Children aged 4 and under can enter free of charge. Tours, which are included in the admission price, run every hour on the hour, typically starting from 9 or 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. The exact timings may vary with the season, so visitors are advised to check the website for precise tour times. Please note that all visitors aged 5 and older must present proof of Covid-19 vaccination.
