Expect to spend around 2 hours to experience the market. One fun thing to do is to go to the top of the bell tower when the chimes are playing, and watch them play the chimes for free. Even if you are not interested in art this place is a must since it gives a great view of Ithaca. The Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary, home to the world-famous Cornell Lab of Ornithology, has 4.2 miles of trails winding through woodland and over swamps and ponds. This bird sanctuary is a fun place to go to watch, hear , and learn about various birds locally and beyond.
Trails are always open.
Expect to spend around 1 hour here, more if you go on the trails. This is a small park near Cornell that looks out over Cayuga lake and Ithaca. For a nice treat bring a picnic dinner and have a picnic while watching the sunset. As part of this trip you can stop in Aurora and have pie and coffe or tea at the Aurora Inn there. It takes 1.5 hours to go around the lake without stopping, but expect to spend around 3-4 hours depending one what you stop to see and do along the way.
