The Cayuga Nature Center is a great place to hike trails and get close to nature. The center has many displays and is a wonderful place to hold birthday parties for youngsters. Naturalists will bring in unique live animals to learn about and touch - lots of fun for kids and adults.

This is a great place that has dedicated volunteers who make welcomed the diverse people within the Ithaca area. Finding cocoons, identifying plants, you name it. Check out their summer programs.

This is a great place to go with your family or a group (such at Girl or Boy Scouts). There are trails, and they also offer great programs if you look online or call ahead. The natural beauty of Ithaca is apparent, and they also have a very cool tree house!

Stopped here for short visit while in the area. Was intrigued by advertised 6 story tree house. Wasn't disappointed with that but felt more could be offered relative to small array of live animals both inside the nature center and outside. We did not have time to experience any of the nature trails so doing a trail or two might... More

This is the perfect place for little kids to hike. The six story tree fort is really cool and there are little destination activities/sights peppered along nice short and easy hikes

I worked at a wedding here. It was gorgeous. I would check it out. I feel bad for the animals caged but other than that the open land is great and the lake is just across the street there.

We enjoyed going there and was nice but a lot was closed due to a wedding so only had a small amount to look at . We were not there long . They could have let us know when we paid , had we known we would have came back another time.

There wasn't a great deal to see, and the view of the waterfall from the Treehouse was very poor, however the staff were all very welcoming / friendly / helpful. The Treehouse itself could be fun for youngsters.

Must husband and I stopped here on our Anniversary. I stopped maily because I saw that there was a butterfly house on the website. The website failed to mention the butterfly house wasn't open until late June. Inside they were having some type of daycamp for kids, We looked around inside quickly, there was a fish. Along the trail was... More
