Ready for your next favorite road trip? Sit back and relax while OurBus does the driving, and let's head to Ithaca, New York! What If I told you that you could get the perks of a small city AND the beauty of the country. That's what you'll find in Ithaca, New York. (ad) And the best way to get there is OurBus. We've compiled our favorite spots to plan your own trip, because this town is a must see! Beautiful places, great food, and SO much to do it's hard to pick just a few! Here's what we suggest for a 2-3 day trip to Ithaca, NY. 🚍 Start your road trip with @rideourbus. Hundreds of stops all over the East Coast, OurBus is the easiest (and comfiest!) way to travel. Free WIFI and charging ports, large reclining seats, clean onboard restrooms, and complimentary water. Start your trip by relaxing, not worrying about driving! 🌊 150+ waterfalls- Our favorites were Buttermilk Falls, Ithaca Falls, Cascadilla Gorge, and Taughannock Falls. @VisitIthaca 🛝 Playgrounds- @IthacaChildrensGarden (hands on sensory play with an anarchy zone!) and Stewart Park (accessible playground with beautiful views of the Cayuga Lake) @friendsofstewartpark 🏨 Hotel- Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons. Our room was not only gorgeous AND dog friendly, we had fantastic views of the city and the staff was SO nice. Plus the hotel was within easy walking distance from the OurBus stop, dozens of restaurants, shops, and even waterfalls. @ithacamarriott 🍔 Restaurants- From pizza to Tibetan food, they have lots to choose from! Ithaca Ale House, Red's Place, Cornell Dairy Bar, and Monks on the commons were some of our favorites. @ithacaalehouse @reds_place @monksonthecommons @cornell_dairy 🧪Sciencenter! My kids LOVED it there and happily played there for hours. ⛴ Discover Cayuga Lake Land and Lake boat tour. Beautiful boat ride with local history, guided hike to the waterfalls WITH geology facts and a chance to study the lake plankton under a microscope. This was SO cool for the whole family! @discovercayugalake Ready to book your trip? Head to the link in my bio to book your next trip with Ourbus.

Oh, this place brings back so many memories. My mom would save up her paychecks to drive out to the children's garden and we would spend a whole day there. 10 years ago, it was much smaller yet it was still absolutely beautiful. Now, there are so many expansions and great places for little ones to expand their creativity! I have a 3 year old brother and he was in awe, running around trying to do a little of everything. I love it here!!!!!

This is great place to take both young and old. The times I've been there have been very pleasent. The garden is nice to look at and all of the little things in and around it are entertaining. Children are often playing games or just walking through with their parents. I recommend the Ithaca children's garden to people with children in their lives and or just people that have an inner child.

A fun place where Kids and Dogs (On a leash) can enjoy building forts, tend to the huge fruit & vegetable garden and pretend throughout the Garden.There's a Giant Turtle that they can climb on. Lots of trails through Flower gardens. Signs explain what they are seeing. Frog pond where Kids can scoop out tadpoles. A special place for Adults too!
