We have been there a few times and enjoyed each time. My daughter who doesn't often like to do family activities loves it and looks forward to doing it each time we come up. this time we were a large group of 8 people. We played the Salem witch game.You have to go around the museum finding clues and solving puzzles. The one we played we had to guest 2 people in the group who were the witches. The witches could also put curses on other players. For each puzzle you solved you eared coins. At the ed you put coins in a box to vote for who you thought were the witches. If you guested right, they were burned at the stake otherwise the one with the most coins was burned at the stake . Our group included a grandfather, mother and father, uncle and aunt, and three adult children. The museum is in Destiny Mall which also has many other forms of entertainment in it.

We visited the zoo yesterday and were very fortunate to see animals playing, eating and enjoying their environment. The elephants, bears, tiger with her 3 month old cubs, birds, panda, flamingos, and all the animals made the afternoon observing and reading the posted information about them, definitely a wonderful and educational experience. If you live in the area, visiting or just passing through, stop and visit the Zoo!

Reviewed By jessicaeH8196TN - Myrtle Beach, United States

Saw Beauty and the Beast at Disney World and my family and I agreed that Syracuse Stages performance completely out-performed our Disney show. It was amazing! I brought two little ones and they loved it as well! I used to live in Syracuse and only come to visit once a year now. My family and I will definitely be back another performance!
