The right hobby can improve your mood, contribute to better health, and give you a break from work and worries. If you resolved to find a hobby in 2020, Wink's Hobbies, the top hobby shop in Ithaca, has plenty of options no matter what your age.

Is Building Your Thing?

If the technical details of assembly and working with your hands has appeal for you, our hobby shop in Tompkins County offers a wide array of assembly-focused hobbies. Try your hand at putting together some of our many model kits. You can build models of everything from trains to cars, then display your mechanical creations proudly. We offer a wide range of models for all levels of ability, from snap-together model kits to true-scale reproductions that require glue and paint.

Do You Love Creative Pursuits?

If you love the creativity of putting something together, then putting your own stamp on it, model trains are a wonderful hobby. There's the well-known allure of putting together a scale model railroad track and running your own trains on it, but with model trains, there is so much more. You can create a town from a century ago, build your own city from the ground up or recreate a specific train line and its run. Once you have your train or trains up and running, there is no limit to how creative you can get. You can start with a short length of track and a few trees and a train depot, then endlessly add to it. The only limitation is how much space and time you have!

Do You Have a Need for Speed?

We can’t all drive NASCAR or take to the track in a Formula 1. It’s far too expensive for most of us, but you can indulge your love of racing and competition with our electric and nitro racing vehicles. The remote control cars, planes, and boats are designed for speed and powered by either electric batteries or nitro fuel. You can race on a local track, zoom over your own driveway, skim the local waters, or even take to the skies with these fantastic vehicles. Or try your hand at off-roading with one of our remote control vehicles explicitly designed for rough terrain. Our Ithaca hobby shop carries a complete line of RC racers for everyone from the novice to the beginner.

Do You Love the Skies?

We also offer an impressive line-up of remote control planes, helicopters, and the latest drones that can take you to new heights. Imagine zipping through the skies above your head, flying through treetops, and soaring around the park or your own backyard with an RC military chopper or high tech drone! It’s a hobby you can share with all ages, from grandparents to grandchildren.
