"Sprint against Usain Bolt at the Olympic Museum Ever wondered what it’s like to race alongside Usain Bolt? Switzerland’s Olympic Museum lets you to sprint against the fastest human on earth...well, his record time anyway. Fresh from a two-year renovation, the highly impressive museum in Lausanne takes you on a trip through the greatest games on earth. Impressive movies, an array of medals, torches and champion’s jerseys fill the multi-floored establishment. Among the highlights is a reaction test, race track, meditation chair, equipment from Olympic greats such as Michael Johnson, Chris Hoy and of course Usain Bolt. Entrance is a reasonable 18CHF (18 dollars) with an audio guide costing 5CHF. Afterwards, warm-down with a meander along the stunning Lake Geneva waterfront."

We had a fantastic experience here. I never thought that this would actually be a good museum that I would enjoy seeing because I assumed it was all about the games, but watching the history and seeing the interactivity of all of the different exhibits, this was really really good well worth the money and the Front Desk guy was really nice and I had some sort of ticket to something else so I was able to get a minimal discount and this was a really nice way to spend an afternoon. I did not need to buy tickets in advance and even the lobby is gorgeous so unless you’re waiting a long time, it was fine looking around there

This place is absolutely massive and bursting with incredible exhibits. There's a beautiful garden in front of the museum to explore. Definitely worth a visit!

The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, is a place where you can learn all about the Olympic Games. It shows the history of the Games, from the very first Olympics to today. The museum has many cool things like Olympic medals, torches, uniforms, and photos of famous athletes. You can see displays that explain how the Olympics started, the athletes' journeys, and the values of the Games, like fair play and friendship. There are also fun, interactive activities to get involved with. The museum is located near Lake Geneva, with beautiful views of the water and mountains. It's a great place for anyone interested in sports and the spirit of the Olympics.

Beautiful property and buildings with a commanding view of Lake Geneva (Leman) and the French Alps behind it. Super gorgeous, the whole area around Lausanne is just beautiful. The museum has displays about the history of the games and artifacts, I just found it boring and not interesting. I don’t like watching the Olympics much, so it tracks that I would find this celebration of them equally forgettable. If you love the games, likely you would get a lot more out of this museum.

This was possibly the best museum I have ever been to. There was so much to look at and so much history you could easily have spent half a day there. The parks were beautiful. Can't recommend highly enough

Not worth the CHF 20 entry in my opinion. Limited interactive displays and limited stories about the athletes. Entry would be free with a Swiss Pass.

Located along the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva, the museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of the Olympic Games, from their ancient origins to the modern era. The exhibits are incredibly well-curated, featuring interactive displays, historic memorabilia, and inspiring stories of legendary athletes. The collection of Olympic torches and medals was particularly impressive, showcasing the evolution of the Games over the years. We also appreciated the immersive multimedia presentations, which brought key moments in Olympic history to life. Beyond the exhibits, the museum’s location is stunning, with beautifully landscaped gardens and sculptures celebrating the spirit of the Olympics. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or just curious about the Games, the Olympic Museum is an inspiring experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lausanne!
