Make sure that your tires are properly inflated and you have an adequate supply of water before heading out on a Syracuse, NY biking adventure along the Onondaga Lake Park Trails. There are several riding options available over this sprawling 12.5 mile ride. You'll want to stay aware of your surroundings, as this is a very busy recreation trail.

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.

You may have memories of your kids' first drawings or finger-paintings when you take them to the Museum of Young Art. This is a gallery that highly encourages the creative process in the children who visit. The kids get to choose the medium in which they would like to work and, along with input from their teacher or guardian, they can create their masterpiece that is either inspired by a specific lesson or whatever muse may strike them after wandering through the various exhibits and attractions. All the lessons are planned by a certified art teacher and approved by the executive director.

Don't gamble with your time by wasting it on a trip that doesn't pay! Instead, plan an exciting day trip to nearby Mohegan Sun Casino at Pocono Downs. The tour departs from Syracuse and makes its way to Wilkes Barre, home to this popular gambling venue. Tickets are reasonably priced and include a coupon for food and complimentary slot play. Don't wait! Your winning hand awaits on this fun getaway.
