This year, we are especially excited to partner with local-makers and designers to highlight the fashion creators in our local scene.

Indoor Playground

If you've got cabin fever, then come visit the indoor playground.  It's out behind Alphabet Soup in the Center Ithaca Atrium, and it's open all day, every day during the winter.  When the weather gets nice, we may move it outside.

The cool thing about this play area is that you can build it yourself and put it together in lots of different ways.  Great for kids ages 0-7.
