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.

The love the two of you share is something that's unmistakably natural. Celebrate that natural wonder, along with the many other wonders that inhabit the Museum of Science and Technology. This venue is a favorite of kids of all ages and features the opportunity to explore science and nature through a variety of interactive exhibits, planetarium shows and various other science exhibits. While you're here in Syracuse for a romantic date, the two of you can enjoy an eye-popping science-themed feature at the IMAX Omnitheater.

When in doubt about where to find a good time on the city's nightlife scene, go blue! To the Blue Tusk, that is.

And its location only adds to the place's vintage air, as it can be found in the heart of historic Armory Square in downtown Syracuse.
