There is no shortage of things to do in Colorado Springs and Leisure Group Travel has a visit at the soon-to-open U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum on its list of top attractions in the Pikes Peak Region.
“Groups visiting Colorado Springs should not miss this latest attraction,” the website says.
Set to open later this year, the 60,000-square foot U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum is dedicated to U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes and their compelling stories, with the artifacts, media and technology behind the athletes who make the United States proud. The Museum will focus on the core values of the Olympic and Paralympic movements: friendship, respect and excellence; determination, equality, inspiration and courage.
The Museum will be one of the most accessible and interactive museums in the world, designed and built so that all guests experience the Museum the same way. Visitors of all abilities experience the exhibits through our inclusive design and assistive technologies such as open captions, audio description tracks, assisted listening, universal keypads, RFID-triggered customizations, accessible exhibit spaces with ramped experiences and more. U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes were involved and consulted throughout design and construction to achieve our goal of inclusive design.
