adventures with nature

Discover nature! Climb six-stories into the tree branches with the TreeTops. See live animals, both indoors and outdoors. Explore our special toddler room. Relax in the lodge after hiking more than five miles of scenic trails traversing 120 acres of natural gorges and native wildlife. Enjoy CNC year round: walk among the butterflies in our summer butterfly garden or take to the trails in winter with snowshoes or skis.

Local Schools and Educators can benefit from the many programs offered by the CNC. Connect the classroom to the natural world with one of our many Environmental Education programs, or challenge your students to surpass their perceived limitations on our TEAM Challenge ropes course. CNC is a nature experience of PRI and its Museum of the Earth.

The Cayuga Nature Center grounds are open to the public from dawn to dusk every day of the year. Enjoy miles of trails along gorges, streams, and native plant and wildlife habitats.
