The Onondaga Historical Association Museum is one of the largest and most respected regional facilities in the area. It has amazing stories to tell, some of which reach back to include over 300 years of natural, cultural, artistic and industrial history that are all presented in a wide variety of exhibits. One of the museum's largest and most popular exhibits is the Underground Railroad exhibit and Syracuse's role in its establishment. Unlike various other museums, this is a non-interactive, “look-don't-touch” facility, so parents with small children are advised to monitor them closely.

Syracuse's Thornden Park offers a little something for everyone. If you are ready to either watch or be a part of the big football game, the park features an impressive multipurpose athletic field that's perfectly suited for football, soccer or lacrosse. There are also four tennis courts and a swimming pool. The smaller kids will love the more traditional swings, slides, seesaws and climbing bars. Or, if you prefer, you can just sit outdoors and admire the beautifully maintained rose garden.

The Irish take pride in many things, but one of the most obvious is their penchant for celebrations that feature lots of their favorite ale. Find such a celebration every time you stroll through the front doors of Coleman's Authentic Irish Pub. This special nightlife destination was established as a working man's saloon in 1933 on historic Tipperary Hill and while it has grown in size since then, it still maintains a great small pub atmosphere. Coleman's offers a great menu, live music, and of course, special events to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
