Each year, nearly 100,000 people visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to learn about birds, their place in the natural world and the remarkable things they can teach us about the changing global environment. The Lab's state-of-the-art Johnson Visitor Center offers an exciting multimedia gateway into the world of birds. Discover citizen science in the Object Theater, view short films on a variety of topics in the surround-sound theater and watch resident birds through high-powered spotting scopes. And don’t forget to take an audio-visual journey around the planet in the Sound Studio, where visitors can access some of the 170,000 recordings of the Lab's Macaulay Library—the world's largest repository of animal and bird sounds. Complete your visit with a self-guided walking tour of Sapsucker Woods Sanctuary, a beautiful forested nature preserve.
