Hidden Gems: Ithaca Earth museum

We went to the Paleontological Research Institution and its Museum of the Earth in March for a Babcock- Hovey Alumni event. This was the best school/ fun trip ever! It was still winter at the time (I really don't think winter ever ends here in New York) so we did not get to explore any of the outside sections that I heard can be great. I want to get back and give it a try during the summer months because it was truly an amazing experience.

When you first arrive you get to see this beauty from above and later from the bottom as well.



We cam across a ton of information on fossils and the formation of Earth. 



The kids thought is was cool seeing what use to be live insects. 






Critters in jars.



















There is a section that the kids can search for fossils and even take home any they find.
