Visitors to Cayuga Nature Center can explore the wonders of the natural world first hand.  CNC has over five miles of trails and a lodge filled with indoor exhibits including a kids' activity room.  CNC prides itself with our collection of indoor and outdoor live animal exhibits and our seasonal butterfly house.  TreeTops, our six-story tree house, and five miles of trails are open from dawn to dusk.  Check out our current calendar of events.

CNC offers a wide range of educational activities including environmental and animal programs, an active outreach program, our TEAM Challenge ropes course, and much more.

We're offering nine exciting weeks of Summer Camp this year! Check out our brochure and call to register your camper today!




CNC is easy to find: it is conveniently located on NYS Route 89 (1420 Taughannock Boulevard), just six miles from downtown Ithaca and three miles from Taughannock State Park, one of central New York's most visited scenic locations.  Both the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail and the Greater Ithaca Art Trail pass by our front entrance.  Our not-for-profit organization is member-based, and 2009 family memberships are now available for only $40.  Membership allows nearly unlimited access to events at CNC. Please consider joining today.
