To discover that the land, upon which you are located, once was located over the equator is reason to stop one and question. From the beginning of time, the museum will answer the questions of who was here before we. A great place fou children to explore and have some hands on experiences.

A great place to visit on a hot summer day - or on a cold winter day! Lots of interesting exhibits and the building is beautiful. Great gift shop! Displays change periodically. If you are in Ithaca with kids - don't miss it!

Our family loves this museum which is designed for you to gradually descend into the earth, fossils beside you corresponding to the appropriate periods and epochs. Very beautiful outside as well as inside. Often you can do hands on activities, participate in special occasions like Darwin's Birthday, etc.

Have brought my children here a few times but as they grew older they seemed to like it less. I don't think it was due to knowing it too well as we brought different friends each time who also grew bored. I would say under 12 is perfect.

Lots of interesting facts/exhibits geared towards older children or adults. Our little ones were bored.

This is a small museum but it offers a good selection of fossils and has a really cool full mammoth skeleton. Too much of the space is devoted to children's amusements.

We took my 5 year old Grandson to the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY.If you are into Fossils, Dinosaurs and some fantastic History, MOTE is THE place to go! We had a wonderful time, The staff is extremely Personable, Knowledgeable and Helpful. The place is AWESOME from the smallest of Brachiolites to the larges Skeleton on Display. Wonders... More

When done particularly in conjunction with the local parks this is a great destination. Very informative about local "fossil life" and how they were formed. Small but nice museum

I had a nice time and stuff was cool to see. I would go again,
