How Couple-Friendly is Sapporo Olympic Museum?

76%Couple-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 76% Couple-Friendly: Couples can race each other on bobsled and share panoramic lift views, yet the venue is small and lacks overtly romantic ambiance, so it is fun but not a date-night highlight.

This is a worthwhile trip to travel to the top of the ski jump and tour the Olympic museum. I found the whole venue very entertaining. Great to do on a clear day, looking down on Sapporo city.
