Today is supposed to be one of the hottest days of the year, with a predicted high of 96 degrees in Syracuse. That can be really miserable if you don’t have any or adequate air conditioning.

Where can you go to cool off?

We have compiled a list of places you can go from the state Department of Health and Central New York counties. Remember, Wednesday, June 19 is Juneteenth so check to make sure a location is open that day.

Note: Is there place that’s not on this list? Let us know at [email protected]. (Please put in the subject line “cooling list”.)
