There is a section specifically for little, which they loved! The water table and the pet/vet section especially. In the "big kid" sections our 3 year old loved seeing all the fish and lizards, the little penny black hole and the vacuum tubes with the Pom-poms. Even the outdoor area was a blast! So many cute and clever ways for kids to learn and play. We had the hardest time getting him to leave. I ended up convincing him we could get a stuffy at their gift shop to take with us. Never thought I'd buy a stuffed white blood cell, but here we are! Again, super cool! Lastly, the staff was all so pleasant and nice, which is always extra appreciated in a kid-centered place.

Admission is always free, but you do have to pay for parking on weekdays. The building itself is designed by IM Pei and is meant to let visitors experience art and also view the natural surroundings, as there's several floors from which you can get great views of Cayuga Lake and the Cornell University campus. While it doesn't compare to world class art museums, it's perfect for a college/university art museum with a diverse collection of paintings and ancient artifacts. The lobby is a wonderful gathering place with plenty of space to sit and open windows to admire the views. It's the perfect way to kill some time, so recommend a visit to art lovers visiting Cornell University or those needing a rainy day activity while visiting Ithaca.

The amenable winemaker, Frederic Bouchard, was finishing up a tasting with other guests, so he invited us to look around the rest of the property. We were accompanied by Tucker, the winery's resident canine cutie. When it was our turn to taste, we loved all four offerings: Quotidian White (blend), Quotidian Red (Meritage), 2006 Meleau White (Port) and 2006 Meleau Red (Port). In fact, we purchased all 4 of the wines in addition to the tastings. If you're in the Ithaca area, Ports of New York Winery is well worth a visit.

We were excited to learn of a new solar tech place in Ithaca, so we headed over on a Saturday?…read more Open? Apparently - the lights were on and the door unlocked! We looked a bit, cleared our throats, read some magazines, talked, rustled and waited. Voices in the back, so it was clear we weren't alone. After 20 minutes (we wanted to talk to someone!), I went into the employee area to find the voices. An employee with a mouth like butter told me "actually, we're not open today! But, we'll be sure to call you on Monday!" Not so much, really - no call yet. Another customer walked in while we were there, waited five minutes, then grumbled out. I asked the slick intern if he wanted us to lock the door on the way out - nah. Letting people think they would get service is okay with him. Disillusioned and annoyed. That's me.
