The WonderWorks Experience in Syracuse

A top activity for all ages

By Kelly Zaryk, Publisher and Editor of Macaroni Kid Eastside of Rochester March 29, 2023

Our family had a sports tournament in Syracuse this past weekend, so we decided to make the most of it and check out what WonderWorks at to offer at Destiny USA Mall in Syracuse.  We were pleasantly shocked on how much they had to offer.  There was litterally something for everyone in my family ages 5-12 plus my husand and I.

The bed of nails was really cool.  My 12 year old said he could feel it but my 7 year old could not.  Pretty cool thing to try out.

The sensory sand area with a light of moving sea creatures was a nice soothing area for the kids to check out.

Not sure what made me think I could do this extreme ride?!?!  I should have known when they said hair in a bun and weigh in before I got on that it was going to be intense!

This bubble station was neat, slippery but a cool area for all their ages. 

These boys couldn't be more happy to find this basketball station, they had two throughout the museum!

Couldn't resist this photo opportunity!  I think that was my last shot of getting all 4 to fit there. 

My oldest has no fear whatsover, he was in heaven walking all the ropes courses at all heights!

Be prepared for the arcade area...bring those dollars and coins! They also take credit cards!! 

This was BEFORE I challenged myself and I'm so happy I did!


Our family had a wonderful time here and it's nice to know this is just an hour away!  I highly recommend this as a family getaway!  I wanted to share more pictures but I didn't want to spoil all the fun!  Here is their website with more information.
