The ride up to the clouds isn't nearly as thrilling as the ride down, but either way it's great fun when you are in the very capable hands of the professionals at Skydive Central New York. You will go through a highly informative training session and will be secured in your flight equipment and then board the plane for your spectacular tandem jump that you will never forget. To always remind you of your extreme sports adventure, make sure to request a video of your jump.
The Community Folk Art Gallery is unique for many reasons. While it strives to present the work of African-American artists as well as other under represented ethnic groups in Central New York, it also features a striking common thread among the pieces that are on display. That theme is one of constant struggle against seemingly insurmountable odds that was no doubt the inspiration for many of the art works that are collected here. It's a museum filled with a curious balance of drama and triumph that will prove to be great conversation-starters when you make this museum the site of your romantic date.
Syracuse's Niagara Mohawk Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an outstanding example of Art Deco architecture and a symbol of the Age of Electricity. This building was completed in 1932 and was the original home of the nation's largest power utility company that is now a division of National Grid plc. Tours are available by request.
A face can portray many emotions. That concept is stretched to great effect at the Museum of International Masks and Puppets. The Open Hand Theater is located in a newly renovated castle in the heart of Syracuse, and this proves to be the perfect setting in which to hear about the various cultures, stories and personalities that come alive thanks to the artistry of puppetry. As critics have echoed, Puppet Theater is ridiculous yet sublime!
