December Days of Play: Discounted Tickets & Holiday Fun at WonderWorks Destiny
WonderWorks is spreading holiday magic with holiday décor, discounted tickets on Family Fun Day, a Toys for Tots drive, and more!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year here at Destiny USA! The holidays are better when spent with family and friends, so we’re encouraging everyone in Central New York to gather together and visit WonderWorks Destiny for a Family Fun Day on Sunday, December 7, 2025. On this special event day, guests can mention “Family Fun Day” at the admissions counter to get discounted 3-Attraction Pass tickets for only $15 +tax per person. The discounted admission is offered one day only and provides an all-inclusive experience, where guests can check out over 100 hands-on exhibits and simulators, take on the Canyon Climb Ropes Course, and go head to head in the laser tag arena. It provides an ultimate day of indoor fun for everyone at a fantastic price ($45 value)!
After entering the lab via the spinning Inversion Tunnel, visitors will venture through six unique Wonder Zones spread across the 40,000-square-foot facility, all diving into different STEAM topics. The Wonder Zones include everything from educational exhibits to thrilling rides, including lessons on extreme weather, space discovery, light, sound, and more. Guests can also stroll through the halls of the Illusion Art Gallery and take on physical challenges like the Bed of Nails. There’s something for everyone to do, see, and explore. A visit to WonderWorks is not complete without a climb on the world’s largest suspended indoor ropes course, the Canyon Climb (closed-toed shoes are required & some other participation restrictions apply). This Family Fun Day on December 7, 2025, is guaranteed to be the ultimate day of indoor fun for everyone!
WonderWorks has plenty of other holiday happenings coming up, making it one of the best indoor, family-friendly things to do in Syracuse this December. Add a visit to your holiday bucket list! WonderWorks is conveniently located inside Destiny USA, the largest shopping mall in New York State, giving families a break from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping so they can have an upside-down adventure. Our popular attraction has been decorated with upside-down Christmas trees, and there are scientific t-shirts and gifts for sale in the lobby, making it easy for people to find unique gifts for the science lovers in their lives.
WonderWorks also makes it easy to give back to the community, as we are a Toys for Tots drop-off location through December 10, 2025. Anyone can drop off new and unwrapped toys to donate to local families in need. Plus, we’re spreading holiday cheer to our mall neighbors by offering a buy one, get one ticket deal to everyone who works at Destiny USA throughout December 2025! Current employees of any store, restaurant, or attraction in the mall can show their employee ID, name tag, or recent paystub at the WonderWorks admission counter to get the BOGO deal. It’s the perfect way to decompress after a busy shift!
So whether you stop in for Family Fun Day or swing by after meeting Santa, we hope to see you in the upside-down lab this month! Keep an eye on our social media pages and “Visit” webpage for altered holiday hours.
