This will be the scene of all the indoor cycling events--love the way the outside almost looks like a race track!

How can you not love the crazy futuristic/Swiss cheese/60s vibe of this building? All the shooting events will take place here.

Given that this is where the shooting events will take place these little dots almost look like bullet holes! Love the innovative design and hope to see it featured in the coverage!

So apparently trampoline is an Olympic sport? Interesting. For some reason this building kind of looks a little trampoline-y so it kind of makes sense this is where those events will be held.

Apparently they've transformed the route in this tranquil region to accommodate 15,000 spectators. Hope the residents of Surrey are ready!

This is the venue that will host the Canoe Slalom. Who even knew there was such a thing?!?

Should be interesting for sure.

It took three years to build this incredible, sleek structure. This year spectators are going to be looking at more than just Michael Phelps!

Would love to swim in London.

How can you not love the pillowy look of this? Even I'd go to see a basketball game here!

It looks like a giant meringue up close and a giant mattress from far away, but in fact, this is the venue for the basketball games. I think even I'd enjoy seeing a game here!

If you have tickets to something going on here, you are one lucky spectator. This is going to be one of the major focal points of the games, hosting both the opening and closing ceremonies!

This is going to be a truly spectacular summer in London and across the UK. The spectacle of the Olympics and the global character it represents is a rare treat.

Now this is going to be a stunner! The equestrian events are going to take place right here (not to mention some running events). How gorgeous is that going to be???

Only in genteel England could a mountain biking event take place in such a bucolic setting!

Yikes! Cyclists say this bucolic farm has been "toughened" up for the Olympic mountain bike contests. Looks to me like they've succeeded!

This stadium will be used to host some of the football games. Interestingly enough one of those games will be a women's game held before the opening ceremonies.

Yup, you guessed it! Yet another football/soccer venue! Amazingly, officials are warning spectators to arrive at least two hours before the matches so there's time to go through security!

OK, how cool is this: the roof on this arena is inflatable! I don't know what purpose that serves, exactly, but it's pretty fantastic.

It looks a little cheese gratery but it's still pretty cool. Plus the roof is inflatable. No idea why, but it is.

Soccer/football fans take note: lots of great matches going on here this summer!

The locals just call this Wembley but lots of soccer fans are going to call it "Home" for a few weeks this summer. Lots of matches going on here!

This is where the sailing events will take place--can't even imagine how gorgeous all these sailboats will look coming down the home stretch!

Now this is truly where the eyes of the world will be this summer!!! Can't imagine how exciting it must be to watch a match here. Wonder who will end up at Centre Court this time!!!

While it's a stunning venue for the sailing events, rumor has it that the locals aren't thrilled by the idea of tourists invading their lovely hamlet.

Yes, folks, this is it!!! This is where the eyes of the world will be when the badminton and rhythmic gymnastics competitions start!

While Anglophiles are more accustomed to seeing royalty come down this famed road, this summer it will be cyclists and runners making their way past the roaring crowds.

If this field looks familiar to you it might be because this is where Kate Middleton recently hung out with the GB Olympic field hockey team. Wonder if she'll be cheering them on when they play here in the summer?

Well, this is one of the few events for which you will not need tickets as it's taking place all over the streets of London. Yes, you can see Race Walking just by hitting the streets of London!

Even for non-soccer fans, Manchester United, the team that plays here, is a familiar name. Not surprisingly football/soccer will be played here during the Olympics.

Get out your bows and arrows! This is where the archery events will be held. Hope they don't have to get the arrows across that entire field!

If you're into endurance sports then this is for you! In addition to hosting a number of special events for the Olympics, Hyde Park will also be the finishing area for both the triathlon and marathon events!

cool

If all goes well this venue will look like a Southern California beach by the time the Olympics start. If things don't go well there may be some trouble--this is where beach volleyball is scheduled to be held!

Well this is new and different! The timed cycling events will begin and end at this castle once occupied by the infamous Henry VIII!

This will be the site of some of the women's soccer (sorry, football) games. Things kick off with USA vs. France on July 25th. Oh, la, la!

Hold on to your hats! Boxing, weightlifting, taekwondo, judo, and even table tennis will be held here!

You don't have to think too hard to figure out what sports will be played here. Rowing, kayaking, and paralympic rowing will take place here. Organizers expect about 30,000 people per day to be in attendance.

Do you like to set and spike? Then this is where you should be in 2012. The volleyball titles will be decided here.

It may look like a plain copper box on the outside but inside it's a fiesta as you can see! This stadium will host handball (that's an Olympic sport?) and fencing.

I think it's fair to say this will be one of the most jam-packed venues of the games--it's where the football games (or soccer as we know it in the US) will be held. Since arena sponsorship is banned this will be known as City of Coventry Stadium for the games.
