Frame That Thought

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.

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!
