Review:

Located on the west side of Cayuga Lake in Tompkins County, the Cayuga Nature Center is an educational institution dedicated to nature and environmental issues. Spread over 120 acres, the center features miles of nature and hiking trails along with gorges and streams and through woods and fields and a six-story tree house called TreeTops for bird’s-eye views of the forest canopy.

Visitors can learn about the ecology of the fauna and flora of the Cayuga basin, meet the center’s live Animal Ambassadors who call the region home, discover the effects of climate change on the local environment, and see what lived in Finger Lakes over 300 years ago.
