The call of the wild is heard loud and clear the minute you set foot in Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park. This incredible 36-acre zoo houses nearly 1,000 animals in some truly impressive natural habitats and attractions. Among the many exotic birds, lions, tigers and monkeys, the zoo is best known for its widely recognized Humboldt Penguin Breeding Program.
Syracuse's Landmark Theatre truly lives up to its name. This venue originally opened its doors in 1928 and stands as New York's last remaining Depression-era cinema that is still in operation. The theater became popular for its double bill of a movie and a live show. Facing problems in 1977, the foundering venue was rescued by investors who got it listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, not only can visitors enjoy the latest in concerts, plays and other great live entertainment, they can also tour this classic, Thomas Lamb-designed theater attraction.
No matter what song they choose, you'll want to sing along with the wide variety of singers who take the stage at the Syracuse's highly popular Singers Karaoke Club. Individuals who live for the spotlight and are inclined to take the stage to sing their favorite tune will be completely in their element at this popular nightlife spot that is a club with a cabaret-style theater. Sure, the level of talent varies from the great to the so-bad-it's-hilarious variety, but the venue's good-time vibe, great people and excellent bar selection all equal great singalong fun, even if you don't know all the words.
