Best Things to Do at Destiny USA in Syracuse, NY
13
items I recently took a drive with the family to Destiny USA in Syracuse, it’s a four story brick and mortar shopping mall, but it’s also so much more than that. These are some of the coolest things you can do there and in the area.

First on the list is easy. This is a ropes course that has you walking over different obstacles while looking down four stories to the ground. My daughter and I did this and absolutely loved it, but it’s definitely not for everyone. If you don’t t...
Canyon Climb Adventure - WonderWorks Destiny
This was definitely an unexpected surprise in a shopping mall. Very unique interactive exotic animal zoo, featuring tortoises, lizards, foxes, sloths, and more. If you’re planning a visit, book ahead to have a close one-on-one encounter with the re...

Ok, first snack of the day was poutine from Fries Fries Fries. Delicious, only $8 for a medium (pictured), and served by a truly pleasant group of employees. Definitely recommended.

If you’re a comics person or a vinyl person, this is definitely a spot that’s probably already on your radar, and you won’t want to miss it. If you’re not either of those things, it’s not still a very cool store with plenty to check out, and again, ...
Newbury Comics | Music, Pop Culture Merch, and a Wicked Good Time!
I mean…who doesn’t love Legos? They are literally fun for all ages, one of the few “toys” (are they toys?) that can say that truthfully. And I know I’m repeating myself, but again, this staff was wonderful: friendly, helpful, and just intent on p...
Store Details - LEGO® Store Destiny USA
I like the spicy things in life, that’s no secret. This place is a mecca for heat heads, and you can literally try anything in the store. They run a pretty good deal of buy three/get one free, and I personally cannot pass it up.
Pepper Palace - From Wild to Mild!
This place was enormous. Seriously, HUGE, especially to find inside of a mall. And they had pretty much everything, including axe throwing, bowling, laser tag, an arcade, a restaurant. You could make a day out of just Apex if you wanted, it’s bana...
Syracuse - Fun. Games. Food. All amazing. No kidding.
This is a fairly new Barnes and Noble, and if I’m being honest, a little small. But spectacular nonetheless. Well worth a visit inside and a look around.

Ok, not for vegetarians. If that’s you, keep scrolling with my apologies. But if you’re a fan of jerky, this is your spot.

Again, this is IN A MALL. With all the other stuff. It’s bonkers.
Get Air Destiny USA | Best Indoor Trampoline Park for Family Fun
A Hawaiian fusion restaurant tucked away like an oasis on your shopping journey.
POK'E NOODLE
Another unexpected spot inside of a shopping mall, this place was hosting some sort of racing event, which was pretty cool to watch for a bit while my wife and daughters shopped.
Underground RC Raceway & Hobbies
This place was a recommendation from one of the workers at Newbury Comics, it’s about ten minutes from Destiny. And now I’m recommending it to you. Very cool spot with just so much to look through. Keep your schedule open.
