The Sciencenter grew out of a volunteer-run science initiative run at an elementary school in Ithaca. Founded in 1983, it operated out of store fronts for a decade. Between 1993 and 2003, 3400 volunteers contributed 50000 hours towards constructing the Sciencenter's new 32000 square foot premises. In 2010, a further 8000 square foot building was added to house the center's traveling exhibits. The center attracts 100000 visitors per annum and reaches a further 1.5 million through its traveling exhibits. With topics ranging from astronomy to zoology, visitors of all ages learn through experiential activities and play.
