What else to do in Ithaca?

Cutemin

Heading to Ithaca. 

We plan to camp, where is your favorite/least favorite place to camp?

Planning to go the Taughanock Falls and prob Buttermilk Falls.  Also the Sciencenter and Museum of Earth.  And I want to hit Jillian's Drawers.  Any place else I should hit with tthe kids? 

TIA

I was thinking the Corning Glass museum, but your kiddos may be a bit young for that??

I would take them to the Children's garden, the farmers market, and even a winery. Most will give them grape juice instead of wine or even some chocolate. The science museum is a lot of fun for kids of all ages. The museum of the earth is neat, but not as interactive for the little ones. Buttermilk is a great park as is Treman. You can swim at either and they are pretty much across the street from each other. I would think about checking out Mama Goose if you want to do some shopping, they have great second hand baby items for pennies. Hope this helps!

We also like to visit the trails at Cornell plantation- there's a nice lake loop, wildflower gardens,etc.

 Oh- and lunch at Ithaca Bakery. Great sandwiches, breads and baked goodies. You can sit outside in nice weather. We always make a point to stop when we're in town.
