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.

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.

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.
