Most people have heard of Syracuse New York at one time or another, but what most people don't quite understand is that it has a homely appeal that is often overshadowed by its very busy, mostly urban landscape. The city is more family-friendly than most think, catering to kids with activity centers such as Adams Eden Camp, which is a 328 acre campground for outdoor fun,¹ and the Flamingo Bowl, a bowling alley and arcade center that sometimes goes crazy with laser lights and a live DJ. The Darling Hill Observatory is also an amazing venture, hosting star parties for people of all ages. There are also events hosted almost every single day of the year. One such activity is called Cruizin Thru, a 1950s Dance Party that furnishes live music and dancing for families, couples, and even singletons. In addition, many art exhibits find their way to Syracuse, so any art buff or regular Joe can get their fill of aesthetics. Every year, Syracuse is the home of the Great New York State Fair, an honor that they've held for as long as anyone remembers.
