ITHACA, NY Even though school is out, fun activities and learning opportunities for kids abound during the summer months in Ithaca.Â
The Sciencenter, the Museum of the Earth, and the Cayuga Nature Center are among some of the local institutions that offer both educational and interactive programming during the summer to children. Although some COVID-induced modifications still linger, with summer in full swing and easing pandemic restrictions, these centers have seen both increased visitation and enthusiasm in the past few weeks.Â
While the Sciencenterâs doors have been open to the public for almost the entirety of the pandemic, summer 2021 operations and crowds look much different than the previous months. With the exception of a mask requirement and a few exhibits that remain closed, the Sciencenter is operating normally for summer 2021.Â
