Just because you're a nature lover doesn't mean that the sun has to be shining in order for you to appreciate the world's beauty. Actually, when the sun goes down, it's the perfect time to look heavenward and admire the natural beauty of the stars and planets. Happily, you won't have to strain your neck when you look up to admire all that celestial beauty when you visit the Silverman Planetarium. The facility offers various programs and presentations that allow you to take in the beauty and majesty of the final frontier.

Syracuse's nickname as “The Salt City” is just one of the stories you'll uncover when you visit the Salt Museum. The facility was built with timbers from an actual 19th century salt warehouse. The venue explains how in the mid-1800s, “boiling blocks” were used to boil salt water and evaporate the brine which left the salt behind. Syracuse went on to become the national leader in the production of salt, and the museum traces the many aspects of this unique area history. Visitors can see artifacts and attractions like wooden barrels, kettles, a saltworkers “neighborhood” and a full-scale reproduction boiling block.
