Powered by GoogleTentatively optimistic! This place used to be pretty gross with obvious rats in both the smell and the looks department but it has come a long way. It is much cleaner these days and it seems to keep getting better. I used to avoid this place but a friend said they have been working to clean things up and what a difference it makes. Suddenly I'm looking forward to my next visit. 😄
This is a great location. In a pretty setting up 79 just outside downtown, and minutes from Cornell and the gorges. The building is a really cool 1970s style structure with an artistic look. All-in-One fitness private training studio is located just inside. There's plenty of parking and 2 bathrooms available inside as well.
Maybe this place was a great place for kids to learn at one point but my daughter was basically left to play minecraft all day. Save your money! If you want your kid to play video games all day just leave them home and save $450. My daughter is really interested in animation and so I thought that was going to be her experience. It was not. The place is dirty and smelly and after being there an hour, she wanted to leave. I had her attend all week because it was already paid for and I needed to work.
Enrolled my daughter in the summer film camp at Ithaca Media Arts. She learned camera work, video editing, and basic storytelling. The instructors were patient, creative, and very encouraging. She came home excited every day.
This place is a joke. They promised a tech camp and delivered a babysitting service where kids played video games on ancient computers all day. No supervision, no learning, and yes the place was filthy and there were rats everywhere! Don’t waste your money.
