Anyway if you are referring to Winsport have you been there since their recent redo? I know they have a sports museum but it has never crossed my mind to take visitors there before. The zipline and summer bobsled run seemed like the biggest reason to go there for me in the summer, unless you want to downhill mtn bike.

What's olympic village? I suspect you are referring to Winsport or what use to be called Canada Olympic Park and not Olympic Plaza?

I did a guided tour probably 4-5years ago which included seeing some of the sports facilities (incl. "behind the scenes" places), the museum and a great guide telling us various stories around the Olympics.
IIRC I booked the tour through Brewster and I know it was very cheap (like <$50 incl. transportation to/from hotel).
I definitely found it worthwhile back then, but donīt have any more recent info, sorry.
