We’ll worth the time! - Very interesting learning about the history, as well as seeing the various torches and uniforms worn by the various athletes.

The home of the Olympics - literally! - A magnificent guided tour by a genuine expert with real insights that we would have missed on our own. Two hours flew by and we could have stayed longer.
Lunch afterwards was rather good too!

Excellent museum, very interactive - The Olympic Museum was excellent. The exhibits are full of interesting artifacts and memorabilia, including the history of the games, it's modern development and the sports and athletes. The exhibits are very interactive as well, there are videos and games throughout the museum. The Museum also has a free audio guide you can use on your phone, great for providing context to the exhibits. We spent 3.5 hours going through and felt that was a good amount of time to see it all. Definitely a must see if you're in Lausanne.

Home of Olympic History - Could have spent days! Wonderful displays, self paced. One of my favorite museums ever. Not just about the medal winners—great stories about other athletes as well.

Fantastic - If you love Olympics you will love the museum. It has a lot and two-three hours is a must if you include outdoor part as well.
Lots of media stuff, things to touch and see and interact with. All the torches, medals and sports are in some way mentioned. A must visit when in Lausanne and Switzerland.

A day in Lausanne well spent - Lunch was amazing and reasonable. But the Museum was even better. We loved every floor that brought back high points of every Olympic as well as the history.
We spent over 3 hours reviewing the exhibits which held our attention. We were surprised at how quickly the time went. In addition the interactive exhibits on the first floor were fun
The grounds are not to be missed. Sculptures are beautiful and the botanical landscape overlooking the lake are breathtaking. Reasonable prices made it a must do

Brilliant interactive museum - I don't really enjoy museums but this was brilliant! Very interactive lots of things to see and do. I went with my 15 year old daughter and we both really liked it. My favourite was seeing Torvill & Deans Balero outfits.
The location is amazing - right on the lake the views are stunning.
My hotel (hotel continental) gave me a pass for transport and attractions. I understand this is typical for lots of hotel. It was 16 CHF for us both. Great value you get the metro right to it.

Worth it! - Excellent museum. The grounds are superb too but visit the museum for sure! Cost of the ticket is not too much. We stayed a couple hours in the museum and could have stayed longer. The exhibits were excellent.
