Things to Do in Syracuse

Pursue your passions while creating new experiences. In Syracuse, it’s called Do Your Thing! Whether it’s being stopped at the country’s only upside down stoplight (thanks to the Irish), climbing the world’s largest indoor suspended ropes course at Destiny USA, New York's largest shopping, dining and entertainment center, or getting down to a live band and finger-licking good BBQ at the original Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, Syracuse provides the platform for an inviting adventure. Walk in the footsteps of the brave citizens who helped slaves escape to freedom and fought for women's rights, uncover the many Syracuse inventions that helped to shape America and learn how the Haudenosaunee people contributed to modern U.S. life at one of the many museums and historical societies in Syracuse. Scout for Bald Eagles at Onondaga Lake Park or Peregrine Falcons in the heart of the city while experiencing the downtown urban renaissance. Do what makes you happy in Syracuse.
