Taughannock Falls State Park
Visit Taughannock Falls State Park and swim out to the dock off South Point to jump off the springboard into the water. There's a sandy beach, too, though the lake itself is rocky underfoot.
Swimming is not allowed elsewhere in the park, but people will occasionally cool off in the shores of the creek along the trails. If you go for a hike, be sure to catch a glimpse of the falls themselves which, at 215 feet, is one of the tallest in the Eastern United States.
Open daily 8am — 8pm

Sagan Planet Walk
This walk, at 1,200 meters long (3/4-mile), is a 1:5 billion scale model of the solar system. It was built by the Sciencenter in 1997 as a memorial to Ithaca resident and astronomer Carl Sagan. The walk starts at the downtown Ithaca Commons and ends at the station representing the dwarf planet, Pluto, located at the Sciencenter. Each station has a scale model of the planet and an informational plaque.
