We visited the Zoo, which as a child I had visited and was very depressed about, but now! It was so nice! The slight hills made me and my kids feel like we were on safari making animals discoveries along the way. A lot was closed due to COVID restrictions but it was worth it to visit. There were activities for kids and plenty to see with staff to answer curious kid questions. The baby elephant was our family favorite but we a enjoyed visiting all of the outdoor enclosures. The indoor enclosure that is currently open is very well ventilated. They have a ton of hand sanitizing stations and ask kids not to tough the glass...as if thats possible. We found we felt best with a sanitize before glass and sanitize after approach for COVID safety.It was a great time!

Hung out in the shade for just a little while. Roasting hot outside so we enjoyed a couple pints of Ben & Jerrys. She had Peanut Butter Cup & I tried Everything But the... Pretty good stuff.

Golf course is great if youre a mountain goat, I personally enjoy it. The pool... Well, youre getting into the water that has soaked the population of an urban center. You do the math.There is a strange little exercise course too. Caution: sometimes contains birds.

It was super quiet during our visit. Very few people there. Like having our own private zoo! We had a snack at the cafe. The food is high quality. My dad had turkey on whole wheat. Me, tuna on white. Fast friendly service. Our family are members of the zoo so we go a lot. Still sad about the passing of one of the Tigers.

I grew up swimming, golfing, sled riding and going to the zoo at Burnet Park when I was a kid in the 70s. My kids ate now enjoying the same minus the sled riding. Park is kept clean and well maintained.

This is a perfect place to spend time with your family. The Zoo is fantastic for kids with a great assortment of animals in an accessible environment and well cared for. The park has a pool and playground, a golf course, picnic tables and tennis courts. A really nice place.

Heard they host a lot of community events here. The Haunted House was ALL THAT and FREE! Can’t wait to see what they do next year

Burnett park such a nice place. It use to be nice, now it is just another junk/grave yard of a park. Is spooky and scary, just neglected. Shame on you Syracuse. No one cleans noone picks up trush no caps visible. There just youngsters gangs running around so whenever I will go through I always look/prepare for being mugged or something. Fortunately it didnt happen yet but its just a matter of time, I believe. So if any one decided to go there for a stroll, be cautious. There in the back is a monument for memory of these from our community, who gave life for our freedom in world war ii and until recently the city did not give to much to it. Finally just after memorial day they put a new flag pole line on the pole but I did not see flag flying. Unless it was for a very short time flying up there. Shame Syracuse, shame.

Nice place to go and unwind during the day. While I dont go there for, or use them, the park includes a golf course, ball fields, large swimming pool and other amenities. The zoo is also part of the park. But that has a separate entrance

Beautiful park. A little remiss in cutting grass and picking up dead limbs/debris. A few patrons apparently feel picking up after their dogs is beneath them or doesnt apple to them. A small number of folks also occasionally feel compelled to share their poor taste in loud music...but overall beautiful park, great trees, soccer and baseball fields, mini golf course. Not crowded.
