If it's a big concert, a great dramatic production, or a high-profile convention and it's happening in Syracuse, there's a good chance that it's on–at the OnCenter. This incredibly stylish and state of the art venue is equipped to handle a variety of entertainment events. And, no matter where your seats are in the arena, in the theater, or in one of the large meeting/reception rooms, you can be sure that the event is completely “on” if it's on the schedule at the OnCenter!
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 call of the wild is heard loud and clear the minute you set foot in Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park. This incredible 36-acre zoo houses nearly 1,000 animals in some truly impressive natural habitats and attractions. Among the many exotic birds, lions, tigers and monkeys, the zoo is best known for its widely recognized Humboldt Penguin Breeding Program.
