Zoo is pretty decent for a small city like Syracuse. Lots of species of plants and animals. Big attraction is the Asian Elephants. They also have monkeys, river otters, a Male lion, two Bengal tigers, two bears, a bunch of penguins and countless other birds, fish and reptiles. If you're local or nearby and visit quite a bit then I suggest a family annual membership which should pay back within just 5 or 6 visits.
