Rather limited due to covid but when it is fully open it is more than worth the trip. Our whole family, ranging from age six to age sixty four finds it interesting.

Decided to come here while visiting Corning and wasn’t disappointed. The front desk staff were great. As members of the NY Hall of Science we have free access to a bunch of other places as well. Didn’t have our membership cards thinking we didn’t need them. Well the front desk said to call the hall of science, verify our membership, and pass the phone to them. After about 5 minutes they let us.The place is fun for kids. It is a bit on the small side but there’s plenty of things to go for a couple of hours. There’s a live animal section (mainly reptiles, fish, and frogs). And there’s a section to touch starfish. The more interactive stuff is very kid friendly, especially for younger children.

I volunteered here for almost three years and it was great. Kids and adults love this science museum. I still have a blast there and when I was a kid I LOVED it. My favorite part is the touch tank, animal room, and discovery box rooms (with activities you can take out). They also have seasonal exhibited which are always really great. Kids live it and they learn so much!

It would easily be five stars in a non-COVID world

Amazing place to take your toddler. Lots of rooms and activities. And even though it was fairly busy, it didnt feel like it because its so spacious. Great Winter excursion.

It’s a pretty fun place to visit. There is something for kids of all ages to enjoy, even adults. We have the yearly membership, and it was worth the 90$ because if there is nothing else going on, we know that our daughter will always have fun here. The exhibits aren’t changed a lot throughout the year, but there is enough to do there that our daughter is happily occupied for a couple of hours. Big hits with the kids are the big blue blocks and the outside playground.

Fun for all ages however best to bring children of all ages too.Lot of. Neat things to do even mini golf Perfect way to spend a few hours. Indoor and outdoor activities for all.

Such a nice place. Amazing helpful staff

Very cool hands on museum. I love the tidepool touch tank and the animal room. Staff are awesome. Great place to volunteer!

It was a very fun place to visit, yet I wish there was more to do. They were very clean, nice, and everyone was respectful. My brothers favorite was the touch pool and the duck race with dams. I cannot wait to go again in the summer.

This place is nice, We had a really greatime time with my family

Golf is free during covid and its nice because its easy social distancing.

Much for kids under 10 age. Good place to spend around an hour or 2 with kids. I wish they had more stuff to occupy pree teens. Science center is clean, safe and good helpful staff. I liked petting the reptiles. Kids under 10 have a lot of stuff to do and see around. Once visit is good. You can pet water animals too.

Read about the awesome history of this place in the book Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. I wish to visit this place someday

I volunteer here. Absolutely love the staff and all the visitors! Everyone is so friendly. There is alot the learn and do.

This little science center gave us 1 full hour of entertainment. My 3 yr old and 1 year old loved it. We were not fans of the 2nd floor, lots of wasted space with the murder mystery room (not appropriate for you children) and a big table of foods with magnifying glasses to read plates was a bore. I posted pictures of the fun rooms for the kids

Such an amazing resource to have in the Ithaca area. Great staff and an excellent venue.

Super fun place to take the kids. Loved the funnel that you placed coins down and building dams! Would love to come back next time Im in New York!

You could spend a week here and your child would not get bored. So many displays and activities for any interest or skill. Safe and clean atmosphere.

Playground was nice. Inside could have more interesting. Nice for a short visit.

Awesome place I wish I live near to science center . It has activities from 1 year to 10 years kids ..You must go at least once and the wow thing is its ticket too cheap only $8 . They have different ideas for kids to understand science even if your kids are young they will have at least fun and good time

Had a great time here loved the water dam blocks

The kids absolutely love it. There is plenty to do there and there is something for everyone, including they really young children. It usually takes us a while to convince the kids it is time to go! Great pricing too and they truly make it affordable for everyone!

Clean, well managed, well-staffed. Many hands-on exhibits for all ages AND room to sit for those who need a break.

This place is ideal for children. So much for them to see and do. Very hands on for the little ones.

Very interesting place to visit with your kids.

Great staff warm and friendly. Prefect for kiddos to learn and explore while having fun. Worth every penny

Great fun and educational. Cant wait for the outside space when snow clears. Decided to purchase a membership.

My children did really enjoyed to learn about science here. A lot of of hands-on exhibits but some were not child-friendly. Some apparatus were dangerous for the children and there were no staffs to look for the kids.

Its a great place with both indoor and outdoor games and learning. The place has grown onto our kido and has been his favorite place. A nice place for toddlers and kids of all ages!

My 2 year old daughter had a blast. There are so many educational and fun toys to explore. Fun for all ages.

21 years old and had a great time. 100/10 fantastic. I even built a spaceship (Kepler roller master Extreme) which does s c i e n c e. And I got to pet a gecko.

Great place to bring small kids. Exhibits fun and exiting

By far the best science center I have ever been to. Took my 3 and 4 year olds and we stayed for 6.5 hours. They dont have food so make sure you pack a lunch. Its not a perfect 5 stars because they need a really good deep cleaning. They spot clean every night but there is dust in the areas that are not touched. So if you are sensitive to dust, this isnt the place for you. They just opened a new pet vet exhibit that could use some work. The batteries were dead in the scale so except for washing your pet and listening to it its heart, there was nothing you could do in that area. Some bandages, play syringes, etc would make that area so much more fun for the kids. However, I am nitpicking. 100% worth the visit!!! Great place.

We went on free day. It was great. The kids had a lot of fun. We especially liked the giant building blocks upstairs.

My kids had a great time. They really love playing with all the different things around the facility. They loved petting the snakes for the first time also. We will definetly return & tell our friends

Great place. Lots of fun cool activities for everybody. I thought it was pretty cool.

Great place for kids! Fun for adults as well! Teachers won’t want to miss the gift shop for educational stuff to take back to their classrooms!

My kids enjoy going to the sciencenter, i love watching each of their reaction to the different things they can explore, my little Kings....

I have a 1.5 and a 2.5 year old. They both LOVED the science center! Getting to interact with all the stations makes it that much more fun! I only wish there was one of these closer to where I live!

The Sciencenter is fun, interactive, and has a variety of exhibits. I was very impressed because they have an axolotl salamander aka Mexican Walking Fish. My kids enjoyed the 2 hours we spent there especially the playground. This would be better with some exhibit upgrades and a snack bar.

As a Liberty Science Museum member, we visited the Ithaca Science Center for free. Obviously a lot smaller than LSC but the museum was smartly packed with lots of hands on experiments. We especially loved the dam the creek where we experimented with various designs using metal blocks to try to build a sturdy dam. Friendly staff and everything was clean and organized!

AMAZING. Weve visited a lot of science museums all over the country with our kids and this has been the best. Lots of stuff to do and great educational exhibits. We spent 2 hours but easily could have spent 3 times that. Highlights included the 0-4 area and the outdoor play area.

Fun, interesting, and very family friendly! The entire facility is stroller accessible, including the outdoor playground. Plenty of exhibits with wonderful guides. A special section for 0-4 year olds thats a great, safe area to work out the wiggles. Community Room where you can eat any lunches or snacks, youve brought. Forgot food? No problem, there are vending machines. Really appreciated that the food set up wasnt a nickel and dime trap! Friendly, helpful staff, and the membership is a great deal. The lowest level covers an entire household, whereas some science centers only cover two parents and two children.

We had people in our group from 3 to 69-years-old, and everyone had a great time! Its a really neat spot. Definitely a great way to spend the afternoon.

My 2yo and I enjoyed playing with the different hands on exhibits. We had a great time.

This is a great place for families with young children. Plenty of fun exhibits that the kids never get bored with. If you live close enough to frequent the place consider becoming a member. The fee will pay for itself in a couple of visits. You also get access to some other attractions as well.

Its a wonderful place to experience and learn new things for the kids. My grandson and I had a great time hes going to be 12 yrs old this month and still found it to be interesting and enjoyed the playground.Its seems to be geared towards more towards the younger children althoughi as an adult found it fun as well. I saw so much excitement in the smaller childrens eyes. We loved the reptiles and turtles. It was a beautiful mothers day gift. Thank you for such a wonderful place for childrens mind to explore.

My 2 yr old loved it here. Whenever were in town, we will definitely be back to visit the sciencecenter

A very fun and informative experience. Great for children and adults.

I love the science center. It makes science very fun and exciting. There are many activities, and animals! There is also a big playground, and a gift shop. Nothing is wrong with the science center. I totally recommend going

What an awesome experience for children of all ages! Highly recommend! If you become a member, you can get discounts at other childrens places around the country.

Fabulous day with the kids. Lots to do in a small space both inside and outside. Staff were very friendly, helpful and spent their time with all the kids. We will be returning in the future

A great place to spend the day with families. There are so many activities to do both inside and outside. Everything was very clean and well put together.

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Quite busy. Was a fun experience for the little ones but teens would become quickly bored. Had a bit of a romper room daycare feel to it. Had some cool reptiles and amphibians which I wasnt expecting.

Great place if you have young children. Took my young cousin how is 13 but she didnt find is as entertaining as some of the younger children. But still a great learning experience to open young childrens minds.

Liked this place very much, there were some really neat exhibits. We loved the water exhibit and the big blue building blocks. We weren’t able to do the outside part because of the weather but are definitely looking forward to it next time we are in town!

Have driven by this place so many times and finally had a chance to bring my family. So happy we got to go. $8/ person, seniors are $7 (super cheap). SOOOOO much to do. Kids can literally not break anything and it’s a whole day pass. All hands on stuff for kids to learn about science, marine life, water- everything. My daughter loved it from start to finish. Wish we got there in the morning, because you can pack a lunch and bring drinks and just go out to the car/ bring a lunch to the playground- eat and go right back on to the next activity. Such a cool way to spend a day. Will def. be going back to spend more time/ see new changes.

Fun exhibits for whole family. Mini golf is cool too. Challenging course.

Great time for little minds to learn

Its around $8/person for barely any hands on learning. They have too many theatre based learning centers which are barely, if ever used. The young childrens place is nice, but definately lacking in the tactile department. I go two times a year with my boys hoping they have new things but am always disappointed.

A great place to take kids for some fun and learning. We all had a blast.

My girls are 6 & 8 and had fun here. We were able to spend about 3 hrs here including the outdoor playground area

One of best experiences for families and kids Ive seen in the area in the long time that kids enjoy!!!

The Sciencenter is a great place for your kids, and adults to maybe! There are lots of fun hands on activities as well as fun exhibits!

This is our home away from home. There are so many interactive exhibits, my little ones have different stuff to try all the time, and I can either kick back or get thoroughly engaged, depending on what Im up for. The staff is super lovely and helpful, and its always clean and inviting (even the restrooms). Love it.

I love this place because my sons had so much fun there. Plenty of hands on exhibits and outdoor activities. Staff was friendly and cost was very reasonable.

Great place to bring kids to learn through play.

A great museum for kids of all ages. Take the Carl Sagan solar system walk and get your passport! Also the mini golf.

This place is amazing for children and adults! They have many different interactive things to do! The staff is extremely helpful and educated! I also love all the artwork that is outside in the parking lot, its a mosaic and its absolutely stunning!

They had a few new exhibits which was nice to see

Really nice place to take young kids. Lots of hands on exhibits, plenty of fun things to do, and kids dont even know theyre learning because theyre having such a good time.

Many Educational things to do that are STEM and hands-on. Fun for all ages!!

My kids always have a blast when we come!

Great place for kids and adults! My grandson had a great time learning and was sound asleep on the way home!

Our grand daughter had a ball, great science hands-on experiments, great play yard, everything is geared to teach even 4 yr olds, even the adults can enjoy.

Had an absolutely wonderful time. Only complaint my kids had was that they wished there had been a slide on the playground. We cant wait to go back.

Clean, good parking, always changing inside activities for children. Great value for a days adventure. Provides a room for you to bring your own Lunch. Staffed by volunteers so some sections may not be offered each visit.

Awesome. We had a blast. Top notch.

Took my son here for his 2nd birthday. He loved it. There is always enough entertainment here for all ages.

I started coming here when i was very young and even now i still enjoy the sciencenter. there is always something for everyone, and exhibits change a lot, so you get a different experience every time. safe, educational, great for families and people of all ages. highly reccomend.

Took the grandkids for a day and it was very entertaining and educational for them. They also had live animal displays in the reptile area as well as a saltwater display

A amazing place to go with your kids !!

Wonderful experience for my grandson, Micah!!! Place was extremely clean, lots and lots of things to do! Will definitely be going back!!

Very cool science center for the kids, exhibits on renewable energy, nano particles, a projected dynamic topographic map on a sand table. The family really enjoyed it!

Great place to bring kids of all ages. My two year old daughter had a blast. Amazing value for the very low cost of admission.

We love going to the science center. They could benefit from a few more donations tho!

There really wasnt that much to do, and a lot of things were either broken, dirty, or taped off like at a crime scene? The only nicely kept space was the gift shop where you could buy things. Youd think with a yearly membership of $85 itd be state of the art, or at least clean.

Hands down the best kids science museum I’ve ever been to! It has the perfect combo of play and learning! It’s a fun time for the whole family! Even little kids will have something to do. My 1 yr old had an absolute blast!!!!

I loved this place as a kid. They always had changing exhibits so there was always something new to see. My favorite thing there hands down was the water dam with the rubber ducks.The outdoor area was great for running around and getting your engery out. There were also a couple of small live creatures on display that they would sometimes take out and show you.It is a great family experience and I recommend going here.

So fun for a family with little kids

It was fun. Took family there and, while its not overly large, everyone enjoyed it.

Great place for kids. Nice outdoor playground. You can stay for almost an entire day. No place to eat, so bring lunch.

8 and 6 year old girls r entertained for HOURS!!

It is worth the drive. Some nice exhibits with a nice outdoor playground.

Had my sons birthday party here, the staff were patient and made the whole experience so much fun

Fun, interactive, great for kids of all ages. 2 levels, with a lot to see & do. Playground & minigolf available during nice weather. Small touch tank, movie room with documentaries, & animal room inside. Exhibits are fantastic! Staff are friendly & knowledgeable.The science center is always busy, if your kids dont like crowds be aware. During poor weather indoor exhibits are especially packed. Staff are very receptive to special needs kids, & do offer sensory kits. Again, be aware of what your kid can handle. Can be very busy, loud, & not much personal space. Parking lot available, but fills up quickly. Some parking on adjoining streets.

Kids love this place, Im in a wheelchair and the entire place is wheelchair accessible, did not check the restrooms.

Really fun place to bring kids. They have things to do for all ages. There is a designated section for younger kids that had its own for, so you can let them roam and play without worrying about them running off. There is a really cool outside playground as well. Really affordable as well, compared to other childrens museums.Downside, there is no on site food options, but they do allow you to bring your own. That being said... The Ithaca Brewing Co is only a 5 minute drive away, they have great food and are awesome with kids!

I brought a 4 year old and 17 month-old and they had a blast. I cant speak more highly about our experience. Most exhibits are hands on fun and so innovative. My 4 year old loved the space game/ simulator for walking on the moon and my younger loved the touch tank. The staff was super friendly and the student volunteer who guided my son through a laughing cup was excellent. He spoke so clearly and answered all of my sons questions during the activity. Although young, he was an effective teacher and one of the memorable moments of our visit. The admission was $8 per person and I felt this was inexpensive for the day we enjoyed. We spent 3 1/2 hours here. There is a lunch room if you bring your own food, and they will get messy during experiments. Mostly this is just water or bubble solution but come with plans to play and learn!
