Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7 reviews
Our Land of Oz and Ends shop in Chittenango has moved their inventory to Herkimer NY Exit 30 on the thruway going east of Chittenango. Easy to find: go thru the tollbooth, cross the road and you are at Gems Along the Mohawk where there is a huge Oz booth. There is a good place to eat there or take a trip on the canal. It is about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Chittenango. Also the ALL THINGS OZ MUSEUM on main street in Chittenango has some amazing Oz items to check out.

We had heard good things about this zoo but doubted there validity when we entered the park as it looked very small. We were wrong. This place was great. All the animals very very active and they have a great collection of big cats and 3 different types of bears which is much better than any zoo in the upstate NY region. You are able to purchase feed for the farm animals and carrots for the giraffes. It is an extra expense but not offered everywhere and worth it for the experience. The Park was both sunny and shaded in areas so it never got too hot in the blazing hot summer of an August afternoon. It is wheelchair accessible, aside from the giraffe feeding area and there are many benches to stop and rest if needed for older folks. The parking is free. Overall a great visit and we will be back.

Wow I say Wow!!! I have to keep up with things. This used to be a good visit but the dozens of justified poor reviews. Since we had time to kill we decided to check it out after years. I was not expecting much. I cant believe it is the same place. It is so much bigger, happier, what a terrific job. So many good slots, such a cheerful crowd. slots that paid off, involved management. Thrilled that they are back and will always be visited when going to Turning Stone. Thank You ,Thank You
