Tee off in style–despite the size of the course–when you take the whole family out for a great day of fun at Fairmount Glen Miniature Golf. This attraction has been a Syracuse tradition for over 60 years. The course is as challenging as it is fun, and the kids will love trying to make that nearly impossible shot! The venue offers a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that also gets rave notices for not only being well maintained, but also for its very friendly staff. Plus, don't forget to stop in to visit the concession stand for a tasty treat before or after your game.

Nature and history intertwine to create something special at the Camillus Erie Canal Park. This 300-acre park is located between Albany and Buffalo, at the midpoint of the Erie Canal. The expansive area features seven miles of trails that are used for hiking, mountain biking or horseback riding in the warmer months of the year and snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in the winter. Also, don't miss the chance to stop into Sim's Store Museum which is a replica of an actual canal-side store that can be found in the center of the park.

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.

Fans of fun and recreation on the water will most definitely want to splash in to Onondaga Lake for some wet and wild fun. This includes fishing, swimming, jet skiing, paddle boating and other water sports. Several seasonal events take place around the lake every year.
