ROSAMOND GIFFORD ZOO REVIEWS
This zoo was affordable to enter and had a great selection of exhibits. The animals appeared healthy and lively. The whole place was clean and looked very beautiful. I didn't have time to see the aquarium, but I very much enjoyed my time here and plan on coming back in the spring.
I love this zoo! Great size, good mix of indoor and outdoor exhibits, and lots of active animals. I have a membership and it’s for sure worth it. The weekends can be busy with kids but if you go close to closing time then you can avoid most of the gremlins.
This zoo is absolutely amazing went there 35 years ago when it was Burnett Park. and was leary about it but it didn't disappoint at all we loved it very clean really nice handlers the bear was the highlight of our trip thank you rosamond zoo.

MILTON J. RUBENSTEIN MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY REVIEWS
What an amazing gem of a museum! My 3yo had a blast! The exhibits were fun and everything was super interactive. The jungle gym was of course a favorite. He also loved the foam blocks and the climbing wall. The dinosaur exhibit was pretty cool! He also really liked the fossil "dig." What a great resource for parents, the museum really was such fun.
My friend and I were visiting from NJ with our 5 year old girl and 6 year old girl. We decided this was the best museum we have ever been to. It was large, but not too large. So interactive and interesting. Not busy. A huge jungle gym climbing place inside. Water refill stations were plentiful. We will be back next time we are in the area.
A really fun and interactive museum for the kids. Plenty of hands on exhibits and activities. IMAX is excellent. A great way to spend a few hours.

Everson Museum of Art is a pioneering institution with a distinguished history of innovation. Crafted by the renowned architect I.M. Pei, the museum's structure is a masterpiece, marking the inaugural example of its kind in the United States. Notably, the Everson was the nation's first museum solely dedicated to American art and the first to curate a permanent collection of ceramics. Furthermore, it has continually pushed boundaries by acquiring video art and establishing a docent program, underscoring its commitment to progressive initiatives promoting the arts. The museum's collection is extraordinary, encompassing over 10,000 works of art, including one of the country's most extensive assortments of international ceramics and American paintings, sculptures, drawings, videos, and graphics. Beyond its role as a museum, the Everson serves as an integral part of its community, actively engaging diverse audiences and fostering curiosity and lifelong learning.

EVERSON MUSEUM OF ART REVIEWS
First time visiting the Everson Museum of Art, I loved the museum, and I enjoyed it. When my friend and I entered the building, the staff were nice and friendly. I asked the staff where the restroom was and commented "downstairs and it looks like you're entering Harry Potter room" (I think that she was said) and it literally looks like the 1st Harry Potter movie.
The best art museum in Syracuse.. They have a tremendous glass and pottery collection which is unfortunately no longer on permanent display except for selected pieces. Good changing exhibitions.
Nice art museum that is small but has plenty of unique pieces to view. The worker Al has been there since 1994 and well informed and nice to have a chat with while looking around.
