Visiting Ithaca
Ithaca is located in the heart of New York’s treasured Finger Lakes region.
Known widely for its natural beauty, its cultural attractions and as a hub for higher education and high-tech business, Ithaca is a small city that thrives in its diversity and its commitment to the community.
Ithaca is home to beautiful outdoor areas, rushing waterfalls, delicious food, the Finger Lakes wine region, and so much more. They say Ithaca is “gorges” and we agree!
The Sciencenter makes a great day trip from areas like Rochester, Syracuse or Binghamton, but there’s plenty to do if you want to make a weekend of it.
The Sciencenter is part of the Discovery Trail – a collection of fascinating sites to visit around Ithaca that include museums, nature centers, and cultural attractions.
There’s plenty of fun for the whole family in Ithaca – we hope you visit us soon!
