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.

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.

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.
