Summer is finally here! It won't be long before parents hear those two dreaded words, "I'm bored." With all the things to see and do in Central and Upstate New York, turn that boredom into a day filled with family memories.

As more and more of the events we love attending and things we enjoy doing are returning, officials with the Utica Zoo have released a schedule of their upcoming signature events.

Put your drinkin' pants on and get ready to party.

The current forecast is showing somewhat cooler temperatures for this Memorial Day Weekend, prompting some people to think "indoors" for things to do.

It's all thanks to the generous donation from the Edwin J. Wadas Foundation that the Utica Zoo was able to install new playground geared towards 5 to 12-year-olds.

Utica Zoo announced that they are lifting mask requirements on the property. Of course there are exceptions.

Watch out friends, there's some new kids in town and they're taking over.

We all celebrate the milestones of our pets lives: their gotcha days, their birthdays, any of their firsts. Double digits is always a pretty big deal.

Maybe it's your first time visiting Central New York. Maybe you've lived here all your life and you've realized there's a lot of places you haven't been before.

Meet the new babies at the Utica Zoo as they begin welcoming more visitors today.
