The 50 best things to do with kids in Columbus

The visit was amazing! We visited for the Unofficial Galaxies event since we are huge Star Wars fans. The event was spectacular with a ton of really insane exhibits that were mostly fan made. We were absolutely thrilled to see all of the handmade items and pieces from the films. We recommend buying tickets in advance. Also the military discount here is only $2 but still worth it.

Coming from out of town, looking to kill some time, it did not disappoint!Cool science center. There were tons of day camp kids running wild, but that can be expected on a weekday morning in the summer. Very cool hands on stuff for kids. The natural history exhibits were cool, along with the Town of Progress exhibit. Would definitely recommend if you are in the Columbus area.

Wow! Just a beautiful place to take the family. The exhibits are amazing. Every time we go the Dinosaur exhibit just keeps on expanding. Just truly an amazing place and I myself learn so much. Highly recommend going especially when they change out the featured exhibits.

This place is so worth it. For only $30 bucks we got over 3 hours of fun and useful information about the world we live in. We visited the planetarium twice for two films that were incredible and at no extra charge. You definitely can make a whole days worth out of this museum. I also enjoyed that it’s not only child oriented but also includes stuff for adults to do. Also don’t forget to check out the shows they do during the day. We got to see rats play basketball! My one and only complaint about this place is I wish there were more cool shirts in the gift shop for adults! (All the cool ones are for the kids)

I finally made it here after knowing about it for more than 20 years and it was totally worth it. I teared up a little when I first walked i to the dinosaur room. Seriously so amazing to see. And I was in awe of the beauty in the Poseidon room. I think that might have been my favorite. An incredible experience for sure. Absolutely worth a visit!

While I've been a member for several years, we just had our first visit with a child and it's a much better experience. While the Pixar exhibit was a little too advanced for our 10 month old, the rest of the museum was very fun for him. The kids play space on level 2 was amazing. Water tables, vehicle and market play spaces and foam padded play areas. It's a great indoor playground that is perfect in the winter time. Despite having been there several times before we just discovered the cafeteria. While the café by the ticket area is very nice it wasn't until after we got our snacks that we realized there is a fully fledged cafeteria. Kelly was very welcoming the food really hit the spot. Absolutely worth the family pass.

Absolutely legendary museum that continues to impress long after you leave your childhood years behind. So much to see, do, touch, and experience! Visited the old location as a child and remembered having a blast. This is a must visit place whether you are young or young at heart!

The Columbus Museum of Art is a nice spot to spend a relaxing afternoon, especially since admission is free on Sundays—which is a great bonus. There’s also free parking just across the street behind the building, which makes visiting super convenient. That said, I was slightly disappointed with the overall experience. While there were a few standout exhibits that really captured my attention, much of the artwork felt repetitive and lacked variety. I was hoping for a more diverse and engaging collection. Still, it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area—especially on a Sunday when it won’t cost you anything.

My friend and I had a wonderful time at the museum. Getting there was straightforward, we just happened to accidentally miss the entrance and go to the top. It's nicely laid out with a ton of space to explore! We finished one spot and thought we were nearly done, but there were 3 more sections left for us. I enjoyed the exhibits and learned a lot about Ohio history. The attendants were helpful and the map was straightforward. I do wish there was a better sign that upstairs is mostly empty. We thought we had more to explore and we were unfortunately unable to visit the gift shop because their wifi was gone. In all it's a fun experience that I recommend people check out if they have the time.

Beautiful building with so many awesome pieces of artwork. It has lovely garden and seating area with a restaurant serving some of the most delicious food I have ever had. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and are able to fill you in on the artists. We loved the Columbus Art museum and will definitely come visit again in the future. We got to celebrate Margaret M. Walter wings 10 year anniversary, maybe we will make it a point to go back for the 20th.

The Columbus Museum of Art is a space that surprises and soothes at the same time. Each gallery feels like a conversation between color, form, and emotion — from the bold pop-art numbers to the soft folds of sculptural pink, every piece invites you to pause and reflect. One work declared, “You can’t hurt me, ’cause storms can’t hurt the sky,” — a line that lingered long after I left, reminding me how art can turn pain into peace. The museum’s bright glass installation rises like a celebration of imagination, while smaller works — a violin surrounded by currency, a figure wrapped in crochet and childhood memories — speak quietly about identity, value, and memory. After exploring, I stopped by the museum café for a delicious latte, the perfect way to sit, reflect, and watch the light pour through the windows. It’s the kind of place that fills you — not just visually, but spiritually. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-visit in Columbus for anyone who loves art, design, or just a good cup of coffee in a beautiful space.

I didn't visit the bulk of the museum (yet), but we saw the Capbell Quartet perform a Halloween show with the Candlelight Symphony concert series & had a great time. I definitely intend to come back for a regular visit to see the rest of the museum, but this concert space was intimate & nice, staff was very friendly & we were pleasantly surprised that parking for this event was free. The quartet were incredibly talented & very personable as well.

A nice museum that isn’t too large to cover all in one visit. An array of work spanning different artistic periods. Mostly one of each of the artists you’d recognize (Hopper, Rockwell, the usual…) It wasn’t overly crowded either, which was nice. Enjoyed a specific exhibit: Ming Smith - August Moon, which was beautiful and a lovely nod to the words of August Wilson.

Very peaceful and overall design of the building is very beautiful. The A/C is set to a comfortable temperature as I glanced over the creations of master pieces created to take your mind to places where the eye can’t.

The zoo itself was great. Very enjoyable and I loved the amount of space the enclosures had for the animals. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is cuz the food is outrageous. $15 for a cheeseburger, $8 for a hotdogs. It cost us $90 just for food for a small party. Definitely pack your own lunch before your visit.

What a great time going. The last time I was here was when I was a child and how it has grown and changed is incredible. Such a diverse choice of animals from different regions of the world. Great displays touching upon conservation, education, and the impact mankind has on wildlife. Many extras with gift shops, food choices, rides, etc. Highlights were the manatee and hyena displays.

Our family had a great time! It was such a beautiful day to go. Not so hot, so I feel like the animals were a little more peppy. We got to see a baby elephant, a baby bear and baby monkeys. Over all a good experience!

Definitely get there in the morning because you’re going to need A LOT of time! The zoo is massive, we got there while there was still 2 hours to closing and barely saw 25% of it! We greatly enjoyed our time nonetheless! We went on a Friday and it wasn’t crowded, the zoo was very clean and we loved how large the enclosures were for the animals. Will definitely come back if we get the chance and spend all day there!

Fantastic zoo. Took our family, with kids agreed 6 to 10, 5 hours to see it all (watermark was closed for the season). Surprisingly quiet on a Fall Thursday morning which was great. They have many animals I have never seen in other zoos like wolves, wolverines, manatees, and bonobos. Attractions like feed the giraffes, VR, dinosaur ride, 4d theater are extra but a reasonable few dollars typically. If you are not a resident admission can be quite expensive. Worth it I think but you can also check the discount options on the Zoo website to ride COTA bus to the zoo and save a lot of money ($4 bus ride round-trip and $10 admission).

Honestly this zoo wasn’t it for us. We’ve been to an array of zoos over the years and found this one just wasn’t what we had hoped for. While it was clean and the layout was simple we found that many animals were off exhibit and many sections of the zoo not accessible for different events . Our favorite part however was the polar bear exhibit. It was fantastic and the animals are truly spectacular. Our least favorite is paying for parking and general admission costs, we found it to be much higher than other zoos we’ve traveled too and found that since the lack of animals on display + cost had us uninterested in returning for another visit.

This is my absolute favorite zoo so far. The wildlife is well taken care of. The aquarium is clean, beautiful, large, it's equally very amazing. The aquatic life is extremely happy. It seems all these animals have great space to be as close to real life as they can get in safety. I love Africa to see everything's so large. The restrooms are spotless. The employees are very kind and helpful. I can't say enough good about my experiences here. It's above in comparison to others I've been to in my surrounding areas. The gorillas have an amazing habitat as well as many other animals habitats there. I spend the night at a hotel so I can enjoy the entire zoo and take my time. I love the reptile building also. I can go on..

What an amazing place! Came by on a warm and sunny day and were blown away by how gorgeous the grounds are. We saw staff working on stuff everywhere. As someone who has a hard time walking distances, I was pleasantly surprised to be offered an electrical scooter at no charge to help get around. The place is very large and clearly marked for what plants are where and also how to avoid staircases. Volunteers were very evident and were obviously happy to be there. Wonderful place to spend time.

I had such a wonderful visit to the Franklin Park Conservatory! The different biomes were fascinating and made the experience both serene and educational. The bonsai exhibit was absolutely immaculate, and I was pleasantly surprised by how impressive the architecture itself was as part of the attraction. A beautiful place to spend the day and definitely worth a return trip!

What a beautiful place! We visited Columbus recently for a friends wedding & had time to kill before we went to the airport, so we stopped here. My boyfriend could give a rip about plants of any kind, but he humored me & we wandered around to see everything. I was in heaven! I’m a big plant lady & it was SO cool to see a lot of common houseplants grow naturally like that. If you love plants & get excited about that sorta thing like me this is a must visit! They also had a whole seasonal pumpkin/fall display set up outside to walk through which was pretty cool too. Definitely recommend!

I felt the price was about $5 to high. However, we booked for 5:30 entry and it was still daylight and have to have the children home at a certain time so they didn’t get to see the cool stuff come to life til we left. I understand it’s a wedding venue as I got married there at Christmas time. So we missed out on seeing the Palm house. Not spooky at all. Great for kids of all ages. Just wish the prices were lower so even the kids that come from low income families could enjoy it too.

I haven't been to the Franklin Park Conservatory for over 40 years and my girlfriend has never been so what better way to spend our one year anniversary than to spend a day enjoying all the beautiful sights and smells😊. It was better than I remembered! I was even better at night seeing the place lit up for the Pumpkins Aglow event. I was very romantic and the smiles she had was priceless 😍

Attended the Cocktails at the Conservatory event Sept. 25. It was my first time visiting and the event gave me the experience of watching the amazingly well designed and maintained facility transition from day to night. It was magical. Highly recommend going at any time and check out what events they have lined up. I’m going back! They do glass blowing!

This was a great little excursion while in Columbus. The Flora is beautiful and the chihuli glass is incredible. It doesn’t take up your whole day to tour and I was happy with the amount to see.

If your kid is into Legos, they will like this experience. I took my 9 year old twins during a weekday afternoon while they were on spring break. We were there for 3 hours. It’s definitely more geared towards 4-8 year old age range. The Lego city was awesome! I loved seeing Columbus in Legos. The VR experience was extra and lasted 2 minutes but was my favorite. The Starbucks coffee shop was my second favorite as I could drink my well made vanilla latte while the kids played. My daughter liked the Merlin ride (combo of bike pedaling and merry go round) which are two of her favorite things combined. She rode it three times which was nice of the staff. My son got into building and racing / wrecking cars off the 2 small ramps. The activity book was not worth purchasing and seemed annoying to have around my kids necks. It’s a bit pricey for the experience: 2 kid rides, 2 minute VR & 15 minutes of 4D movie. As an adult I found it lame and I love Legos. I wanted to redesign the layout and concept. The kids loved it and we got to spend the afternoon together.

We took our sons (7,and 5) and daughter (3) to a day at Legoland Discovery Center. We noticed that there wasn’t a lot written about the accessibility of the location, so I decided to write based on that. Our daughter 3, is wheelchair bound, so we were curious how the day together would be. Thankfully, the entire building is accessible, with ramps and elevators in locations where there are stairs present. There is also accessible parking on the 2nd floor of the parking garage that leads directly to an elevator taking you to the main entrance. The only challenge that may be faced is finding a place for changing your child if they no longer fit on a baby changing table. Our daughter still fits on a changing table, so this wasn’t an issue for us. In the women’s room there was a larger part of the bathroom where a small cot could be put for changing. There was also some spaces to sit and take a break or enjoy a snack. We enjoyed a Starbucks drink at the cafe while our little boys had so much fun! It is definitely geared toward 4-8 years old. The 2 rides have a height limit and children must be able to walk or hold their head up to ride. Overall, this was a great trip and we would definitely recommend it or go again!

We had such a blast! They have adult nights every so often. We even won a prize! The challenges weren’t too difficult either but I would have liked to just explore and experience it without scheduled activities.

I was reluctant to take my children/teen to Legoland Discovery Center for a few reasons but mostly because the tickets were $30 each so $120.00 just to get in....plus I knew my kids were going to ask to purchase Legos from the gift shop and only one of my children truly plays Legos on a regular basis. I was pleasantly surprised that we had such a great time! We did purchase Legos but they had a good selection of cheap ones, and the kids got to make their own lego character as their purchase ald they loved that. Everything is included in the entry fee except food/drink in the Cafe or one VR experience that my kids had no interest in doing. We watched both 4D movies and they were cute! The little kids loved the indoor playground....and everyone could ride the rides ( 2) as many times as they wanted to. We all built cars ( hard, many parts missing and hard to find) but fun. Overall it was a 4 star out of 5 experience....try to go on a. Non -busy day because it was definitely a plus that there was no waiting in line for rides or the movie or the playground. Parking is also super easy , just park in the garage and walk right into Legoland through the side garage entry door.

So cute. It is definitely cater to 9 and under but it was a really cool experience. The rides were super fun and the 4D shows.

This place is an absolute blast. We spent 4 hours here with a 9 year old and a 4 year old. If it is your first visit, definitely get the activity pack. The VR experience can be added on once you’re already inside and exploring, so don’t worry about getting it with your ticket.

Very cool experience. The 4D movie was very cute and funny. My 9 & 7 year old really enjoyed themselves.

Free guided hourly tours start in the Map Room (basement) — weekdays 10–3, weekends 12–3. Gift store opens at 10. Self or phone guided tours available during business hours. Cafeteria was closed. Beautiful 3-story architecture, museum where you can speak from the senators’ tribune.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Ohio Statehouse. The architecture is beautiful, and the museum exhibits give a great overview of the building’s design and history. There’s so much to learn about both the construction and the role the Statehouse has played over time. If you want to go through all the exhibits thoroughly, it can easily take a full day. A great place to explore if you enjoy history, architecture, or just want to experience an important landmark in Ohio.

This is the 23rd state/provincial capitol building we have visited and this is unique as it has been restored to its 1861 glory. Fairly limited in its decor but nice to see the simplicity. If in town, a nice quick stop.

The Ohio Statehouse is a real treasure and a must see. Beautiful example of Greek revival architecture that was lovingly restored years ago and is very well maintained. I’ve been in there literally hundreds of times and always see something I’ve never noticed. Wonderful historical building that offers tours: be sure to call ahead. Be sure to see the Rotunda, the House & Senate Chambers, and the museum and gift shop.

Outstanding guided tour of the Ohio Statehouse on Sunday 10/12/25. This tour is a must see if you are looking for a good activity when in Columbus, Ohio! You will not be disappointed. Our guide was former military and had an expert knowledge of Ohio history. Can’t think of a better way to spend taxpayer money.

“The Statehouse is built in the Greek Revival style, a type of design based on the buildings of ancient Greece and very popular in the U.S. during the early and mid 1800s. Because ancient Greece is the birthplace of democracy, the style had great meaning in the young American nation. Greek Revival was simple and straightforward and looked nothing at all like the Gothic Revival buildings popular in Europe at the same period. The broad horizontal mass of the building and the even and regular rows of columns resemble such buildings as the Parthenon in Athens. The Ohio Statehouse is a masonry building, consisting largely of Columbus limestone. The limestone was taken from a quarry on the west banks of the Scioto River. The stone of the Statehouse foundation is more than 18 feet deep. During the course of the Statehouse's construction, 22 years would pass, but it would not be a period of non-stop work. Construction would cease during the harsh winter months, and as the project would exceed its budget, there would often be halts in construction as new funding was arranged. The longest gap in construction came about when the legislation making Columbus the state capitol was due to expire. There was a eight-year lapse in the building of the Statehouse from 1840-1848. The completed basement and foundations were actually filled in with soil and Capitol Square was used as a pasture.”

I really love this place! Rich with knowledge and history, our tour guide Richard had a lot of facts and tidbits to share with the group! It was a great experience!

A wonderful area to let kids RUN & to grab an early treat Jeni's & 🌮, peaceful, clean (closes by 5,6?). Met this baby 🐦 unable to fly, fed several others & enjoyed the 📚 4 kids to read, return, donate too. (BTW, set 🐦 🔙 on ground in bushes to hop around their days)

Went to see Nelly in concert and it was GREAT!! Our family had a great time. Thank you!!

A small but great downtown park with a big lawn in Columbus. Outside concerts and light shows are sometimes held here. There is also a large and pretty Christmas tree during Christmas time.

As a life long Columbus resident I remember city center mall. This park has given me many great memories. I love that it incorporates music, lights, food trucks, fitness and even movie nights. I have spent many nights with my wife enjoying a activity and looking up at the night sky while the city lights brighten up the night. I always recommend visitors to go and enjoy what Columbus Commons have to offer.

Very nice place to walk, run, bring the family, or just read a book. Columbus Commons is truly a must visit gem in the Columbus Ohio area.

This was our first time here. Went for a FREE Dead Revival concert! The band was awesome as always!! The venue is amazing! Then I learned EVERYTHING they do there is free!! This is a wonderful area for our community. We look forward to going back. Didn't even get to check out the whole place. Really enjoyed their signature cocktail! The Commons Cocktail. I recommend it!

We came here on a Fri night and took some pictures/videos. This was when it was dead and not many people around. I wished they had food open to help draw in more people. We came back on Saturday night and it was packed. It was like the whole city came out. There was free hot chocolate, food, and small shops. Also, they turned on more lights, Santa Claus was there to take pictures with, and the carousel was on.

Went on a Saturday around 12, started to get pretty busy around 12:45-1:30. Which makes the cave/cavers very tight to walk through. While your down there your using a provided map to guide yourself around and match the corresponding areas ( Ex; A to A or 1-1 ) We went after it had just rained the night before, so everything was VERY wet. Wear waterproof/walking shoes if you plan on exploring. Be prepared to get dripped on by very cold water coming off nearby rocks, and the “ceiling”. Coming down the initial very steep stairs is a beautiful view of different levels of rocks decending into a tunnel/cave where the rest of the cavers are. Tons of puddles all over the ground from collected rain water and the “droplets”. Most the areas are about big enough for one person to walk through the tunnel areas at one time, and if your a larger person i DO NOT recommend going down there. Some areas are extremely tight and really only accessible to someone under 4’5 and around 100 pounds or less. (Im 5’4, 140 and some areas i almost got stuck cause it was too tight going through the rocks. It is neat to see though, i dont think id want to do it again as it is just wet rocks and the furthest tunnel was closed from the previous year that occurred from some heavy rain water. (The water collected, over time causing a collapse). So that was kind of a bummer but i get it for safety reasons. The gem mining was fun, definitely loaded with a lot of “gravel” type rocks so that was new for me, Ive only ever had ones with dirt/sand that yield rocks/gems/shark teeth. We found some really interesting gemstones in each tray. The petting zoo was great. I thought it wad Going to be boring and smelly, and i was happily wrong. The goats were adorable, when we came in a baby jumped through the fence and was following our group. And when we came inside the “pen” to pet them he ran back in it was very cute! The deer were a little skittish but very sweet and gentle. The treasure hunt/maze was VERY fun we enjoyed getting different prizes snd trading them within the group.

We just returned from an incredible visit to Olentangy Caverns in Delaware, OH, and we couldn’t wait to share our experience! From the moment we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety of activities available for the whole family. Seriously, you could spend an entire day here and still want to come back for more! First off, let me give you a heads-up: the caverns tour is stunning but not handicap accessible due to the steep steps involved. That said, the cool air and beautiful formations inside are absolutely worth it! We took our time with a self-guided sheet that pointed out all the key spots—it really helped us appreciate the unique beauty of the cave. The lighting created such an uplifting atmosphere; we found ourselves completely immersed in the experience. After exploring the wonders of the caverns, we ventured into the maze! It was so much fun hunting for the vending machines scattered around. Each coin allowed us to unlock a prize from different vending machines—think arrowheads, ebony animals, and cute little vials of gems. There’s something magical about winning treasures like that! Next, we wandered along a nature trail, enjoying the serenity of the woods while discovering intricately carved wooden animals. Nature and art combined? Yes, please! 🦌✨ But the highlight of the day? The petting zoo! They provide you with a cup of feed, and we had the best time feeding goats and deer. Hannah was absolutely in her element, giggling and interacting with the animals—this was definitely her favorite part! We also squeezed in a round of mini-golf, where Hannah showcased her skills and totally kicked my butt! 😂 After that, she had a blast playing on the playground, complete with firetrucks, swings, and slides. Before wrapping up our adventure, we indulged in some gem mining. Hannah uncovered some fantastic gems! 💎 On our way out, we stopped by the gift shop to pick out a few gems to take home as keepsakes. A note for parents: the restrooms are impeccably clean, and there’s a lovely picnic area with bottled drinks, chips, and candy available for those looking for a snack. If you're searching for a day filled with fun, adventure, and memories, we highly recommend visiting Olentangy Caverns! Here’s to more family adventures! 🎉 1779 Home Rd, Delaware, OH 43015

Such a neat place with so much to do. The price for the ticket to do everything was less than $30 a person. Mini golf, a petting zoo (and you can feed the animals), a maze, paning for gemstones and the Cavern were all included. There was a fire truck you could go in. There were a playgrounds. The whole place was decorated for fall. Super cute! Of course we had to get stuff at the gift shop. We definitely recommend!

I don’t have anything negative to say about this place—it was clean, the staff was friendly, and overall, it was a pleasant visit. That said, the cave itself felt a bit underwhelming, especially for the price. I’ve been to larger and more impressive caverns that offered more to see and explore. Still, I really enjoyed spending time here with my family, and the museum portion was a nice bonus. It just wasn’t my favorite cave experience, but it definitely wasn’t a bad one.

It's a decent place, most of the staff were very friendly. We got there with just enough time to visit the gift shop, tour the caves and pan for gems, and visit the gem shop. The caves were great, but there were definitely some tight squeezes, but well lit. It was a nice place to stop and check out

This place is such a fun place to visit! There is something for everyone young and old. The caverns are very pretty and have recordings that will tell you the history, as well as information in the building above. The maze is super fun, petting and feeding the animals was a blast!

We went when they opened on Saturday. They had ample parking at that time we were able to get in with no weight. We recommend getting the bag of food. They’ve seemed to laugh a lot longer totally worth a couple bucks they cost so they can feed the goats in the deer. Also, they got fairly good prices on their pumpkins

We had a great time. We got there when the park opened and rented a 21+ lounger space on the same day, but they do advise to book in advance online. For reserved padded lounge chairs in the semi private shade, access to the wait staff and a safe large enough to fit a large shoulder bag, we felt that the $100 fee was worth it. Since a large locker is $22 already. And since we also came in from out of town, the day use of towels included with the lounge rental were a nice bonus. The staff running the bar in that area were friendly and helpful. I would also advise to go to the left side of the parking lot when you arrive for close access to the Zoombezi entrance. If you follow the masses, you are going to end up on the zoo side with a considerable walk ahead of you. Take sunscreen. If this is the one thing you forget, the standard 6oz size spray is $30 on site. 30-40oz of heavily tequila laden margaritas is cheaper than 6oz of sunscreen here.

We went on weekend and it was super crowded. They have lots of fun things for kids and plenty of seating area. There’s no shade on rides. They have separate sheds for seating but you have to reserve them and they charge a lot for those “Cabanas”. It’s worth money if you’re someone who doesn’t mind going to overcrowded places.

Cashless isn't always convenient. Especially for a young person working and having cash they can't spend or having to purchase a card to purchase some over priced and mediocre food. Our pizza was overpriced and was terrible. Pool was shut down nobody knew why I don't know just filled on the organized

Cool place for kids. Def worth it to get the annual gold pass with free parking if you live close by and will visit often. Bring food and drinks, expensive and not that great inside.

It was a lot of fun. The best of all is that there were not many people and we could enjoy all the attractions without queuing.

Going to this waterpark was an enjoyable experience. The waterslides were very enjoyable, and take a long time to become monotonous. The amount of time it takes to get into the park is almost never long, and the lines within the park itself are unlikely to get unbearably massive (relative to the experience of the installations). A problem with this place is the difficulty to have a pleasant experience when entering the park even an hour or two past opening. However, I would still recommend this place for anyone who wishes to have a fun time at a water park in the area.

I went with my friend and her kids and mine they had a fun time! Its very hot at the zoo! Get fans and water! Dont wear sandals lol! Blisters suck!

As others have said, a cool little garden tucked away in downtown - nicely shaded on the hot summer day. Pay to park on the street for less than $1.00 for an hour. The link between the painting and the topiary is a nice approach. If you walk outside the park, some nice murals and sculptures as well. Can spend at least 30 minutes there.

This was my first time visiting the Topiary Park, and it is absolutely beautiful! The plants are shaped like humans and animals, which looks so cute and whimsical. There are so many of these creative topiaries that I couldn’t stop admiring them. The garden was peaceful and not very crowded, making it easy to enjoy a relaxed stroll. In addition to the topiaries, there are lots of beautiful flowering plants. You can even have a picnic lunch in the shade and spend a lovely amount of time soaking in the scenery. A delightful spot for nature and garden lovers!

I travel a lot an after a while it’s inevitable that things become familiar or repetitive. This is not the case here. I love the idea of turning a famous painting into a garden and it was fascinating to see and walk through the painting. Very creative and very well executed. This for me was one of the highlights of visiting Columbus just because of its uniqueness

One of my favorite places to bring visitors to in columbus. Park that not many seem to pay attention to but has a rich history and nearby establishments with rich history as well. This park features 3D replica of a very famous painting! How cool is that?! An old school for the blind is next door. And the downtown metro library is in walking distance. I love this place!

Beautiful! One word that can help describe the cleanliness, the organization, the decorations, the atmosphere and the vibe of being there for yourself. Such a great place to walk through and or just sit in for a moment of appreciation

I really enjoy when art comes to life, and this is definitely one of those experiences. I have been a couple times since moving to Columbus, and the last time was a little scary with the amount of homeless in the park. I didn’t feel super safe alone with my son. Definitely a place to see if in Columbus, but be aware.

A great little spot to enjoy the outdoors surrounded by creative tree sculptures. There are multiple benches and picnic areas as well as a small pond.

I have visited north market to get some dinner when I was in Columbus. I went there twice actually. They have a variety of food options to consider including Jeni’s ice cream! I got some pizza and some ice cream during one visit and enjoyed the food! Specifically the ice cream! On my next visit, I got food from Hoyo’s and it was very tasty too! There is an eating area one floor above with lots of chairs and tables. It closes at 7 PM (when I went there in August), so I had to check the timing a little carefully. It was easily accessible from my hotel by walk.

What a fantastic place! So much good food! A lovely jewelry vendor, flowers, oils, cheese! Was our first time visiting and we will be back. Nice and close parking garage. Be sure to get your receipt for parking garage from the vendor you buy from. This is good for one hour of parking. Highly recommend North Market for a bite to eat and some local shopping.

If I could leave a higher rating i definitely would. I went there with my boyfriend for the first time and my eyes immediately lit up! The food looked absolutely amazing, the pricing was way better than I had expected. The wait time for the food wasn’t nearly as long as I had anticipated. I will definitely be going back as many times as I’m able! I recommend the Birria tacos, 3 tacos for $14! As a bonus you are able to sit and overlook the whole place!

First time here; quaint little place downtown. Great for new finds of food, coffees, oils / spices, desserts. Has a variety of cuisines, there is something for everyone. Seating indoor and outdoor, perfect for a lazy weekend or to meet with friends. Parking validation offered from one of the vendors I purchased from but didn’t accept when leaving garage. This would be the only downside - which could have been a fluke. Can’t wait to go back!

Neat place. Lots of variety. Lines weren’t too long during lunch. Loved the upstairs seating. Would have liked napkins there too.

North Market in Columbus is a foodie paradise with an amazing array of flavors and cuisines! From coffee to Italian, pho, ramen, Mexican, Indian, African, Mediterranean, and even oysters, there's something for everyone. Just a heads-up: it closes at 5 PM on Mondays, so plan accordingly! The air-conditioned space was a blessing on a hot day, although shopping options for gifts were limited—except for a great card store. I was bummed that Foxes Bagels was closed, as I've heard great things! Overall, a vibrant spot worth exploring! 🌟

Love this market! So many choices for food, or gifts, or whatever you crave. This reminds me of a European style market. Great place to grab a quick bite.

We have been wanting to take the kids here for a while. I hadn't been here since I was in middle school. They had extremely friendly and helpful staff, my son and wife loved Conway and all the animal exhibits. We enjoyed the 1950's home. We had a good time. No complaints.

I visited on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon with my adult special needs group, looking forward to a peaceful and enriching experience. While walking through the grounds, one of my autistic participants politely approached a volunteer and asked for her name — this is his way of introducing himself, something we're actively encouraging to help him feel more confident engaging with the community. Unfortunately, the volunteer’s response was unexpectedly rude and dismissive. We are working hard to build bridges between the special needs community and the broader public, and encounters like this make that work much harder. At the end of our visit, I approached the same volunteer, again politely, to explain that he was simply trying to say hello — a moment of growth for him. Her response? Still rude, still cold. What shocked me even more is that she mentioned her own son has special needs — which, honestly, made her behavior even more disappointing. Perhaps she was having a bad day, but when you're representing a public space — especially as a volunteer — your energy and attitude matter. I strongly encourage the organization to offer coaching or sensitivity training for their volunteers. If you are going to welcome the public — including individuals with special needs — it’s essential that your team knows how to respond with empathy and respect. My participant was polite, respectful, and trying his best. He deserved better.

Ohio History Center was amazing! As a history lover, you’ll thoroughly enjoy exploring the rich history of Ohio through its impressive collection of artifacts. The best part? It's usually not crowded, making it a great spot to learn and reflect. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Ohio's fascinating past! #OhioHistoryCenter #HistoryLovers #Museums"

Phenomenal museum. I had never been there before but the exhibits are amazing and so well done.

I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of the displays and the knowledge of the staff and volunteers. I took the guided tour of the WWI exhibit and Alex was incredibly well versed on the evolution of artillery and how it impacted so many aspects of the war. Scott in the all steel house - yes you read correctly - the Lustron steel homes manufactured in Ohio. They have a full home on display and you can open drawers, touch walls. The interactive nature of many of the displays is simply a joy for children I’m sure but this forever kid loved it too! Front desk staff made my entry and exit very pleasurable with their attentive greetings and suggestions.

A nice museum that we found to be surprisingly informative and interesting all about Ohio. As you travel from room to room it is fun to learn what each has to offer. There is even a replica home of life in the 50s which was fun to explore. I thought it was worth the stop and would come again.

Loved this place. My kids enjoyed it as well. Lots of cool things to admire. Great learning experience. Very affordable. Highly recommend

This was such a cool little museum! Very modern and well done. And free!

We thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Very well curated with so many details of cartoons history. Highly recommended if you like the topic. 🙌🏻 We loved learning about the different techniques used by the cartoonists!

I visited this location because it is located on campus and is free for everyone to access. Overall, the building is generally accessible for people with disabilities. When I arrived, I noticed a ramp leading to the entrance, clear signage, and accessible doors. There was also an elevator conveniently located near the entrance, with a sign pointing to it and buttons placed low for easy access. Inside the museum, the walkways were wide, and there were plenty of seating areas, making the space easy to navigate and comfortable. The wooden flooring was also smooth and accessible. I appreciated that the pictures and descriptions were placed lower on the wall, which makes them easier to view, though I did notice there was no Braille available. One downside was that parking near the building was limited, which could make access confusing for some visitors. The lighting inside was a bit dim, which may be challenging for people with low vision, but the quiet and calm environment could be helpful for individuals with sensory sensitivities. Overall, I would rate the accessibility a 4 out of 5. The location has many great accommodations, but there’s still room for improvement.

The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum is a really neat, free feature on OSU's campus. We stopped by on Friday and had a great time. There are parking garages on campus just a short walk from the museum building, and we paid $10.00 for event parking (probably due to the graduation weekend). The museum is on the 2nd floor, and had a few featured exhibits on display - 3 rooms total. While not huge, it's still really enjoyable to walk around and see what they have. Pictures were allowed in some spots. There was a fun variety of art, a lot that was very nostalgic! I think there's also a reference library people can check out, but by appointment. I would absolutely recommend people stop by the cartoon museum if they're in Columbus and have the opportunity.

Nice little free museum on the second floor of Sullivant Hall, right off high street. They have a lot of original Calvin and Hobbes artwork, in addition to revolving exhibits. Been here twice, back in 2017 and now in 2023, and it was a fun way to spend an hour or so both times. An absolute hidden gem on campus.

Amazing place!! Had a class in this building once, I was honored to share a space with cartoons. Open lobby space, good for flying around. Awesome staff, lots of cool comics! Got to see lots of other little dragons in the drawings :] made me happy

LOVED the Cartoon Couture exhibit. The Exhibit was laid out in an organized manner & highly detailed. Such great content. The front desk staff were friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend any exhibit at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Musuem. Such a great time!!

Great place, for the family! My grandbabies always enjoy it & hate leaving. It's also free, which is always a plus!

Scioto Musical Fountain is a joyful spot with playful tunes and happy kids around. Safe with attentive security, comfy lounge chairs make it a convenient and relaxing family-friendly place. Best view in the evening.

At the time I went, it looked more like a leaky faucet than a fountain. But it has potential. I can see how when the water is really running, this could be a fun spot for kids or couples.

Great attraction in Bicentennial Park that is now referred to as The Scioto Mile Fountain & The Patio. The patio is where the Milestone 229 restaurant used to be.

What a beautiful venue, had a great time at the concert tonight, great place for families or anybody who wants a relaxing time.

This is fun and free! 14 month old had a blast we will definitely be visiting again.

It was AWESOMELY AMAZINGLY TERRIFIC JEVON COLLINS did his thing again,

Honestly, I'm quite disappointed in this place. It was expensive for being out of season ( no go karts, batting cages, or mini put put). 9$ per kid to ride the bumber cars for 1 time. The most disappointing thing is the arcade. Half of the machines dont work, and if they do, they eat your tokens or dont give you tickets. I think my kids had in total 300 tickets, and we had 200 tokens( I was playing to help get tickets). It was just sad, not worth the money, my kids' disappointment, or the drive. There are funner places in Columbus that cost the same price or less. We won't be returning my little boys feel the same way.

I am sure in its prime it was a fun place to go but it needs A LOT of updating! The arcade had a lot of broken games or games that had ran out of tickets. One of my son's favorite games ran out of tickets in the middle of the game. We told the worker at the desk and he just kind of shrugged. The tickets were not replaced the whole time we were there. When we went to cash out our tickets the counting machine was broken. We ended up counting them but the worker weighted them and told us we had way less than what we counted. Two of the three workers looked miserable and mostly shrugged at us when asking for things. The bathrooms were very dirty and two of the toilets wouldn’t flush. The bumper car area was tiny and had a broken down car sitting inside the area making it even smaller. The go karts seemed to work fine and my son enjoyed those. The putt putt area was also decent. It was a very hot day and the inside area was barely able to cool us down. Overall it wasn’t a great experience and we most likely will not be going back.

First time going. Went with some friends to play putt-putt miniature golf. We went a bit late in the day after a dinner outing. Overall we had plenty of fun playing. Main complaint would be that the lighting could be better. We spent a bit of time trying to find one or more balls on the course at times. So did the group behind us. Some of the "greens" could use some care too, but nothing that ruined the fun. I'd go again, though probably in the daytime.

Pretty disappointing. Putt putt was the only thing open due to the weather and it was fun, but the course just needed to be cleaned. That was true for the whole place. What others have said about games being broken was true, more than half of them were broken or didn't give out tickets. We had a hard time even find games we could use our tokens on. Tried to use the bumper cars only to be told they didnt have enough staff. Weird because there was plenty of staff behind the counter staring at their phones. We told them games were broken and they just stared at us. Save your money and go someplace else

I absolutely love this place! It’s great for people of all ages and has a wide variety of attractions and games. The golf course is spectacular and spotless! I have been coming here every week for years now and the staff is always very friendly, accommodating and you can always see them cleaning when they’re not busy! If I ever need anything they seem happy to help. I would give it 6 stars if I could!!!

First time ever coming here, and let me be the first to say a HUGE thank you to all of the staff here! They were very helpful with providing alternatives to the attractions since my wife is pregnant and therefore can't do the go karts or bumper cars, they were incredibly nice and helpful with any issue we had with games not functioning ( out of order, eating tokens, and running out of tickets). We had an amazing experience, and highly recommend a trip here! The days with low crowds ensure that the staff are going to be most helpful and not overwhelmed (as we all can be) and when they had a chance to make our experience more enjoyable, they did more than we asked or expected. I could go on for several more hours of how well this day went, but as a dad of 2 little dudes I will honestly say we will make the hour and a half drive down just for the customer service and relations we got today!

Used to go to the Polaris location as a kid, but that closed back in 2020 in hopes of becoming a Carvana. Not it’s just a hole. Anyway… This place needs a lot of TLC. It’s prime I’m sure it was great. The place is dusty, and almost half of the arcade machines were not working, or having issues. The go karts need work too. Especially #5. I got rear ended really hard by it while waiting to renter the pit. I got minor whiplash. I drove the kart earlier in the day and the breaks were not working well. Almost not at all. I told the staff, but they kept it running. Aside from that, the staff at the counter were surprisingly friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. I’m glad to see that. Would I come back? Maybe, but this place needs a lot of work and I believe if that was done it would be great.

This magnificent building is a wonderful historic venue to watch the CAPA Summer Movie Series, now in its 56th year. The Mighty Morton Organ, almost 100 years in operation here, is a joy to hear.

Beautiful theater and perfect location. The original charm has been well maintained and the sights are breathtaking. Ample paid parking nearby with reasonable rates. I had a little turn around trying to pick up tickets from will call and it was a very busy crowd so it was hard to navigate, but it was the final show of Hamilton so it was to be expected. There are quite a few employees stationed around to help direct you and every person I interacted with was kind. The show was very good. One small thing I did notice though was the distribution of sound..... many times throughout the show, the volume of the music overpowered the lyricists and given that Hamilton packs so much info into the lyrics, it was a bit frustrating not being able to hear precisely. Again, that may be attributed to the performance and not the theater or sound engineer, but worth noting nonetheless. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back!

Got to see Hamilton yesterday! It was amazing!!! The theatre is absolutely stunning. Kinda wish they did the side seats a little differently because you miss portions of the stage but overall the theatre is absolutely breathtaking.

Ohio Theater is a beautiful theater. The architecture and interior is so amazing. I was there to see the play Hamilton which I enjoyed. It was a perfect venue for this incredible musical play.

Absolutely gorgeous. I know this is not the way to review a "show" but getting to see The Cursed Child in such a magical place only added to the experience. Beautifully maintained. Modernized in tech without ruining the atmosphere. You could spend days admiring details and exploring passages even outside of seeing a show... now if I had one complaint, and it has to be said in support of the rest of my tall brethren, these are the most painfully uncomfortable seats I've ever experienced. The nose bleeds at blue jackets stadium are not this bad. The biggest distractions of the night were myself and those around me consult shifting and wincing in pain.

It is great small theatre close to the state house. It is good atmosphere and polite staff

I always love watching shows at this location! I just recently went to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and enjoyed it. The venue is beautiful as well!

For my lazy Sunday outing I chose to take a trek to Inniswood for the first time. It did not disappoint at all. The park is meticulously maintained and is one of the finer metro parks I’ve been to in the Columbus area. There’s multiple short trails to choose from that are approximately 0.6 mi or less. Most of which are ADA compliant. The waterfalls are small but perfect as they create a pleasant sound backdrop to the experience. Many folks there today had their cameras to shoot, which didn’t surprise me one bit. The plants and flowers are fantastically colorful and selected to support a bountiful host of our pollinator friends 🐝🦋. Personally bees scare me, but that’s another story for another time. On the way out (that I missed going in) was a sign about tick safety. Personally this is important as I dealt with Lyme Disease for over a decade (which was a costly hell I don’t wish upon my worst enemy). Over 50% of people don’t recall a tick bite and some can be as small as a pinhead (baby nymphs). I’d love to have taken the trails with the overhead trees, however not having a hat or long sleeves on, with higher tick rates this year, I’m a bit too afraid, which sucks because everything looked pretty and peaceful. If you’ve not been, bring your camera and check out Inniswood for a delightful afternoon adventure.

This place is incredible! The landscape is beautiful and well cared for. There were so many people taking pictures for all occasions when we visited. Definitely a place to walk and explore.

Oh my goodness I haven’t got to go here and experience this place and probably 20 years. It’s a magical little area tucked away in the north east side of Columbus when you’re entering the park it’s majestic! The volunteers that they have dedicating their time to the flowers and landscape are one of a kind hero’s!

This place exceeded my expectations. It's a beautiful space, filled with care and nature. Every corner has something beautiful to see and plenty of places to take photos. Highly recommended for families with children, and the best part is that admission is free! Thank you so much for having such beautiful places.

Its a very peaceful and calm environment. Good for a stroll and great for a view. Sometimes people have wedding, graduation, special events here which is understandable. When it rains here it's like a whole new atmosphere I love it.

Amazing free garden walk! So much to see and great for dates or families! We went with our 5 kids and we all loved it.

Beautiful and well kept grounds. This area should be proud of their metro park system. The roses were in full bloom. The hawk and owl were seen, along with many other birds. It was amazing.

So cool everything was really awesome looking and feeling! Had tons of fun!!!! There was a fire alarm during our gaming time so we had to exit the building and never went back in, but we had fun anyway! Definitely worth the money. I suggest going late when no kids are around. But if you have kids bring them. It is a little scary but sooo awesome!!

Awesome and immersive experience of modern art. Great place for little and adult kids to explore, play games, or have a drink. My favorite thing about the maze was there is ample seating. Felt cozy and atmospheric. Also, I was eaten by a NarWhale.

A very interesting experience. An interactive, almost living, arthouse exhibition. They have created a delightful journey through sight, sound, touch, and just enough lore to send you down the rabbit hole. Worth exploring. Go early to avoid crowds. Buy tickets online for faster entry. Seems a little sketchy when you pull in, don't let that change your mind. Go check this one out!

Loved this place! Very artistic environment! Love the lights and the interactive rooms. Felt like multiple artists had created each room to be unique. So fun!

The environment presented a unique and captivating atmosphere, reminiscent of a blend between "Alice in Wonderland" and an extraterrestrial setting. The distinctiveness of each room, coupled with the abundance of visual elements, creates a highly engaging experience. We strongly recommend this.

Coolest thing ever, came by myself and still had a blast. So much to see i felt like I didnt even see it all. Cannot wait to bring my kids back! Also the gift shop attendant was amazing and super nice to talk to. Definitely recommend!!!

One of the coolest and most unique spots I've ever been to. Took the whole family and nobody had anything negative to say. We went at an earlier time so it was pretty dead, I believe that made it easier for us to really get to explore and interact with everything. We spent a solid 2 and a half hours, and that was just to go through it all and to finish one of the puzzles. Plenty more to do if you also add the arcade in, which unfortunately we didn't. Great time though and we will be back. I recommend this place to any and everyone.

The best pretzel and cheese sauce, delicious. Pretzel flavor and texture so amazing. The sampler was a great way to experience many sausage options. The environment is clean and very engaging. Memorable art and stories are found here. I know people love the cream puff but mine was not good. The dough had too much of a used oil flavor and the cream was not good (vanilla). Also visit the fudge haus next door and get some chocolate.

Awesome classic German fare. Complete with an accordion two piece band and old brick roads out front. Throwback to the immigrants who came here almost 150 years ago. Friendly staff. The potato soup is thick and creamy. Stuffed cabbage, sauerbraten, and cream puff were perfect.

What a great experience. This was my family's first time. The place was packed when we walked in but we were seated promptly. The service was great and the food came out remarkably fast. The potato soup was delicious. We ordered the pretzel appetizer which came with cheese and mustard. My husband ordered the sausage sampler which was great. I got the reuben with potato pancakes. And lastly the desserts were great. Fresh and delicious. The neighborhood was cute and there were 2 shops afterwards to visit.

The buffet is back! Schmidt’s bratwurst, German potato salad (warm) and German chocolate cake is good any day of the week and anytime of time of the day. Love the warm and casual space. While it is may seem noisy to some, I find the table conversations pleasant and an indicator of everyone around me enjoying their meal and the company with them.

Columbus, OH hosts a great German restaurant known for their sausages, schnitzel, and cream puffs. The staff is awesome. They help each other out to keep the service flowing. They are friendly and happy to explain the menu and options. The food is delicious and the beer offerings complement it perfectly. It is busy and popular so expect a wait during rush hour unless there is a spot at the bar. The vibe is family friendly. Lederhosen clad servers, polka music, and German themed decorations. The cream puffs are massive. Residential parking is available if the lot is full.

The atmosphere was lively and the place was full with many people waiting in line. The service was friendly and fast. I don’t eat pork so I did not have their famous sausages as even the beef ones have pork mixed with the beef. The server suggested two no pork dishes and I went with the breaded veal with mushroom burgundy gravy, and sides of red cabbage and potato pancakes with applesauce . I had a non alcoholic beer with the meal and for dessert their famous jumbo cream puff (vanilla). The only thing I really enjoyed was the beer ! I didn’t like the texture or the taste of the pastry shell and so I only ate the cream filling. The main dish was okay but not delicious. I guess I could not have what people come to this place for because of my dietary restrictions so it was not really the place for me.

Delicious and authentic German food with imported Bavarian beer options. The evening crowd was loud and boisterous (further authenticity 😂) but still had private feeling places with small booths and a bar area to one side. The artwork was interesting and added further charm to this historic building. The server was friendly and helpful and was prompt despite the full house.

We go every year! We love all of the exhibits. We especially love the Cox Arts Center. Our favorite spot is the natural resources park. They have rides and plenty of restrooms and indoor areas to get out of the heat.

It was my husband’s and my first time at the Ohio State Fair. The weather cooled down to the 70’s after a morning storm and the whole experience was wonderful! We loved the strolling entertainment, the cream puffs, the Natural Resources Park, the shredded chicken sandwiches, the Barnyard animals, the peach cobbler, the All-Ohio State Fair Band, the cinnamon cashews, the Cart Classes Draft Horse Show, the lemonade,the camel ride, Fine Arts Show and the butter cow!!! was a delicious, fun, beautiful afternoon & evening!

Ohio State Fair is a happy place. Weather was perfect yesterday, fair food such as funnel cake, turkey leg, was as tasty as I remembered, butter cows were vivid, kids were laughing, and people were happy. Lots of farm animals, and vendors. Life is good.

My kids and I had a great time at the fair during a week day! There were so many things to see and do. The food options were endless and there was something for everyone. The skylift was good to rest your legs from the walking. My only con was the lack of places to refill your water bottle.

I love the fair! Last week my niece showed lambs and this weekend my nephew showed pigs. The best Swiss cheese on a stick is near the brown sheep barn and across from Bricker building. It is a black sign w white lettering. The best waffles and elephants ears are by Cardinal entrance as they are made fresh. They are called Marshall's.

Great value for the money. Good entertainment for the whole family. Wide variety of concerts for all tast awesome place to see a show. We come from Cleveland every year a family tradition. Each day they have different activities and performers at the stages. For young and old alike

Great fair experience!! We went on Senior Day and they really took care of us! The shuttles were running nonstop and the shuttle workers were so friendly and helpful. It was a relaxing fair day with food, fun, and a lot of great information for seniors!!

It is almost fall, but the Columbus Park of Roses is still in glorious bloom! Roses as far as the eye can see! I found a couple that smelled heavenly. I took many pictures of individual roses and buds that were just perfect! You can see some below. Funny thing is the park was not even on the itinerary, but we had about an hour to spare, so we thought, let’s go see the rose garden! What an excellent decision! I highly recommend this little excursion.

Such a beautiful & tranquil place to relax. Took these photos back in May, so thats the perfect time to see all the flowers in bloom. Enjoyed strolling around and looking at all the unique flowers. While visiting I saw many artists who were there painting & drawing, people were walking their dogs and taking photos with their familes. Its a very nice and accessible park. Great for solo walks to immerse yourself in or to enjoy with friends or family.

Well maintained park with large variety of roses. The roses were all in bloom when we went in June. Luckily it was a sunny day and made it even more enjoyable. Plenty of parking and no entrance fee. Lots of benches to sit in to admire the beauty of this park.

The Park of Roses in full bloom is a breathtaking sight rows upon rows of vibrant flowers create a colorful, fragrant escape. Beyond the gardens, there’s plenty to enjoy: peaceful walking trails, picnic spots, playgrounds, and open fields perfect for games or relaxation. Whether you’re strolling among the roses, taking photos, or joining seasonal events, it’s a wonderful place to spend a day outdoors with family and friends.

Truly a special park. I consider it to be naturally divided into 3 beautiful sections, the park of roses (it's namesake) is a gorgeous area with every kind of rose imaginable. Truly a spectacle to behold. Then you have the playground/ open field/ sports section that also has a lovely pond that they're currently redoing so there is construction there at the moment. Lastly, my favorite part, is the wildlife area. A wooded area with a watershed/ creek and foot paths that is a safe haven for well behaved dogs off leash. That same segment has a rehabilitated wildflower prairie section that has paths mowed into it. And it all flows together sitting right next to the Olentangy river. Hidden right in the middle of the City of Columbus. It doesn't get much better.

The Cincinnati butterfly park was nice. This park is just as cared for and maintained. Roses of more varieties than I could ever hope to learn, all arranged and labeled. If an Excel spreadsheet ran a garden it would look like this. I believe the other gardens are a part of the Park. Though not roses, the other plants with their labels helped me recognize a lot of the plants I've been seeing in the Metro Parks.

It is a relaxing place to wander about if you like to get your steps in, even better if you like plants. There were other types of plants apart from roses such as herbs, coneflowers, hibiscus, etc. Even the trees were named. If you get tired, there are plenty of benches or gazebos you can rest in. Would recommend!

I tried two scoops - Root Beer Float and Brambleberry Crisp - at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. Since I am allergic to eggs, I asked the staff about ingredients, and they were very clear about which flavors had eggs and which did not. They also had great sorbet options for vegans. I appreciated being able to sample flavors before choosing. The staff were friendly, patient, and helpful, even with a big crowd waiting. Both flavors were tasty, but I was especially impressed with the Root Beer Float - it really tasted like the drink! The shop is busy, but worth the wait. I would definitely come back.

Local ice cream place with a great many super interesting flavors. While you are likely to find a line, it is worth it. I had the burnt orange - so delicious! Also yummy was the brown butter almond brittle and the gooey butter cake. Heck, all the flavors we tried were DELICIOUS!! Go today! Go again! Yum!!!

First time in Columbus, OH and I was advised to stop by Jeni's for ice cream. This was the best suggestion. This place had great customer service and a variety of ice cream to pick from. Jeni's even lets you sample every ice cream they have with no pressure to buy any. If you're near a Jeni's ice cream,definitely stop by and grab some

Staff were friendly and welcoming! I have been a long time Jeni’s fan and getting to go in person was fantastic. Loved all the specialty combos on the menu!

So many choices for ice cream. Very nice delicious flavors. Staff seemed extremely knowledgeable about the descriptions of each flavor. I was disappointed that they only offered ice cream cones and bowls. No other type of desserts like shakes exedra. There is a bathroom there you can use. We were very pleased that they had free tap water available in the dining room. That was super helpful since we had been walking around outside in the heat for 3 hours downtown. As expected, the prices were extremely high.

One thing about me is if I’m in a state that has a Jeni’s, I will make it a point to stop by. It’s a must. I always get my almond brittle butter ice cream and it never disappoints. The flavor is rich and creamy, with that sweet and slightly nutty crunch that makes it unforgettable. And their waffle cone? Absolute perfection! It’s crisp, buttery, and the perfect match for their ice cream. I’ve loved Jeni’s for years, and every visit reminds me why. The quality is always consistent, the flavors are creative and bold, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Whether it’s a quick treat on a hot day or a little indulgence after dinner, Jeni’s always hits the spot. This is one of those places I’ll keep coming back to, no matter where I am.

Unique flavors that somehow just work! We had had pints of Jeni’s from the grocery store but were thrilled for the opportunity to try ice cream from the scoop shop itself and we were not disappointed! We shared the ice cream flight which comes with 10 scoops of 10 different flavors and waffle cone pieces on the side. Each flavor was unique and offered something different. My favorite was the “everything bagel” which was a savory ice cream and very different from anything I’d had before. My wife’s favorite was the honey vanilla bean. All the ice creams were soft, creamy and not overly sweet. Some of the best ice cream we’ve had! Hope to see them open a shop in Kansas City someday!

Polaris is the only good indoor mall in Columbus. It’s a great place to beat the weather and shop comfortably. It’s well maintained and is fully occupied with a diversity of stores and restaurants. There’s a cool play area for kids and a small food court. The only negative that I noticed is the oddly located and small bathroom facilities.

Well kept up mall with almost all the store spaces filled and a bustling environment. Easy to shop.

Posh mall. Lots of cute and neat stores for everyone! Spacious and the parking is plenty, too.

Pretty awesome mall. My daughter has fun there.

Awesome mall 👏 been coming here for years and it’s just as nice of a mall as the first day it opened. They have events and stuff they throw that are AWESOME!! Like this week is a free signature from a professional Hockey 🏒 Player !!! NHL player signing pictures free 🆓

I am a mall walker when the weather is not nice outside but I am not the only mall walker that walks there. You get to know some of the shop owners which is a benefit for you. If you need to walk there is no finer mall in central Ohio to walk at than Polaris fashion place.

Decent indoor shopping mall with major retailers like Macy’s, JCPenney, Saks, Apple, Dick’s Sports, and others. There is a volleyball training place (?) as well. They have a nice food court with a good variety of food options (Popeye’s chicken coming soon). The mall has a very relaxed vibe which I enjoy. Plenty of parking spaces.

This is a wonderful venue for a fundraiser or other special event. The light is fabulous. Staff were fabulous to work with. The surroundings are lovely, too. Our event had 130 people and seating was comfortable. Awesome space to rent!

Stopped here to escape the city for a little bit - a good decision! A lovely building with several rooms and seats to relax and watch birds from. We went to the river viewing platform and had fun watching turtles fight for space on the logs to sun themselves. Also saw hairy woodpecker, grey heron, ducks, robins, a snake (on the river) etc. A beautiful spot to relax and enjoy nature (though the roar of the highways is always in the background... :-)

Its a lovely little place to stop in the middle of a walk around the park. It's got air conditioning inside if it's a hot day, you can refill your water bottle at the fountains, and the bathrooms were nice and clean.

Nice nature center. Beautiful walking trails along the Scioto River. Great way to spend an afternoon.

I was here for an event. The space is great and flexible for different kinds of meetings and events. The surrounding park is beautiful and cool (I love the views of the city across the meadows).

Great stop located inside the Scioto Audubon Metro Park. It is free to visit. The building design is really cool. The staff was helpful and was ready to answer any questions. There isn't a lot to see in the building though. Did see a staff member feeding a snapping turtle which always really cool.

Amazing nature loving center, free to public. They have a variety of items you can borrow for the day, bird guides and binoculars, nets for the pond, we can't wait for the family event on April 13th!!

I came to this location for the first time for a going away party and I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and atmosphere in Downtown Columbus, OH! I actually worked at the 111 N. 4th Street, building for Ameritech and I was so glad to see that this surprisingly spacious location existed! It was clean, well organized, when we got ready for Duckpin Bowling! The shortened lanes were an unexpected added bonus! My friends and I had the best time! This is a location that I would choose to go to again and again. Mishele, the bartender/mixologist, helped me craft an amazing drink, but more importantly, her customer service made my evening! I was looking at the drink menu and it was awesome, especially for Beer enthusiasts, but I had my taste buds set on certain ingredients, but I didn’t know how to create a cocktail out of it. She patiently answered and asked questions to arrive at a pleasantly surprising Cocktail, that gave me a better than expected experience! I have been to the other Columbus locations, but I love this set up and I will definitely be returning with friends in tow.

Such a fun bar with so much to do! Love the swings at the downtown location! And best of all, it’s dog friendly!!

Had an extraordinary time. So did everybody in our group. They had some iconic pinballs machines. A few old-time video games. Awesome miniature bowling. Two lovely patios. One patio with adult swings and outside activities such as giant Jenga. All the stuff was very friendly. The drinks were delicious. Expensive but what is it. Truly can't wait to get back again. They do not have food but they do allow outside food. And provides food trucks most weekends

Happy Elephant food truck here at Pins today until 10pm. Stop by after Comfest 2025 and have some authentic Lao & Thai cuisine and beer on the Pins patio or order take out for dinner or lunch tomorrow. Make sure you try the chicken skewers, Pad Thai chicken, papaya salad, and Nam Kao rice = all my favorites 😋

We went to Pins downtown for Halloween and had such a great time! Loved the atmosphere. Anna from events was so kind and took fantastic pictures of our group — super friendly, helpful, and full of great energy :)

It was a lot different than what am used to. Also I would’ve never thought to integrate such ideas to a pub. Made me feel like a child again.

Pins mechanical is one of my favorite places to go to de-stress from a long week. Amazing drinks, awesome service, and an atmosphere that provides a lot to do. Duck pin is always a good time as well as playing the retro pinball machines. A lot of options on draft and tons of seating with aesthetic atmosphere. I also really enjoy the swings outback - I think this is a fun quirky touch!

This library is so beautiful! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The book collection is huge and it's easy to find whatever you're looking for. And the giant bugs are so cool.

Beautiful sweeping entrance leads you into the magic that is A Library. Helpful staff welcome you as you enter into the atrium. There is a coffee shop with food and a gift shop offering stationery, shirts, and other lovely little goodies. The children’s room is a delight. Plenty of space to play with separate restrooms and all kinds of toys and books. There’s lot of private study rooms and cozy corners to hole up and read or work.

Really spectacular library. Able to attend a special event tonight! Such a wonderful addition to our city!

Visited for the Columbus BookFest. I believe this is the third year, though my first time attending. The weather was super hot on Saturday and Sunday, though it also rained on Saturday. The library was awesome, as were the topiary grounds. Very picturesque. There were numerous booths selling books and other merchandise. Many food trucks as well. There were also a LOT of authors, which is the reason for coming. Our primary objective this trip was to meet Matt Dinniman (Dungen Crawler Carl series) who was VERY popular at this event. I'd be willing to bet he was THE MAIN attraction based on crowds, long lines. Though he wasn't meant to sign all day Sunday, he made himself available to do just that, ensuring anyone who wanted to, could have their book signed. Such a great stand-up guy! He went the extra mile and signed while walking around the event too.. which is when my daughter got her books and such signed. Check out the series if you haven't already! The audiobooks are AWESOME. Overall, a very successful event, and worth the trip.

So great, loved the baby room! I just discovered that they had this!! So fun for babies who are crawling and learning to walk!

As an author, I love going to the Columbus Metropolitan Library. We've enjoyed going into the library, attending the Columbus Book Festival, and attending events by CoMo (Columbus Modern Dance Company).

Honestly, the most beautiful library I've ever been to. This was my main library 15+ years ago and this was my first time back since then. The renovations and additions they have made are so incredibly nice. The Children's area is incredibly special and my kids could've spent all day there. The books are so well organized and the staff was so nice. Columbus is so lucky to have such a beautiful space!

We had a great time! A lot of kids running around smiling 🙂 I’m sure it’s because they were busy, but the bathroom needed a little TLC. We had fun and will be back to visit soon. The trampolines were perfectly sized the age group. And the slides were awesome!

I typically love this place but lately the cleanliness has gone downhill. Todays visit really shocked me & i may start to go to a different location. For starters when i parked the police were blocking the doors which had me concerned, however i waited & went inside. After about an hour i took my two year old to the bathroom & what i seen disgusted me. It looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeeeks! Mind you there were only about 5 kids there the whole two hours we were there. Staff didn’t move from front chairs. This is unacceptable when you are trying to change your child’s diaper. I would rather sit out front on the sidewalk & change it!

I did not know that this place existed I am in love With Momi land it is perfect for toddlers just to have freedom. They have the choice to do what they want to They have toys that keep them engaged. This was a very great idea actually

Wonderful place to take kids. They also have a nursing room for moms. Their infant and toddler area is awesome.

First red flag was the clutter of boxes thrown in a room as soon as you walk in… Very dirty and unkept with A LOT of safety issues. Exposed metal with zip ties on equipment…Really? This location is filthy. Really should invest in this location. Bathroom is unsanitary! Have not seen any staff wiping down anything. I will not be returning to this location.

First experience - wouldn’t rave about it by any means. Signs are written weird outside in regards to cash payments. The cashier then said “you’re not the first person who couldn’t read it right.” If no cash is allowed - why not just simply state that? Instead of “cash payments not able for all services”. The play area seemed decently clean, but I never once saw the one and only employee cleaning or doing anything other than sitting on her phone. I hate that parents aren’t able to help their small children on the equipment. I don’t quite understand that, and never would I want some strange person going to get my child if they were stuck and scared. My toddler got nervous at one of the sides, i went up a few stairs and guided him. The employee comes around a minute after I’ve already gotten to the ground and rudely says “WHAT HAPPENED?!?” I said “Nothing? My son was scared.. so I helped him down.” She told me not to do it again and she would help next time. I can understand rules and get that they don’t want parents rough housing and potentially damaging the play structure - but let’s be real. This is a kids establishment and I am not letting a stranger touch or grab my child when they are worried and looking for their parents. A parent walked out of the bathroom & said how disgusting it was - that was enough for me to change my child in the car. Lastly - police were outside of the door 20 minutes after I arrived. Not sure why, but made me uncomfortable. All in all - it’s an okay place, but customer service is not good and the bathrooms are gross.

This place was great for my 14-month old! We came early on a weekday and it wasn’t busy at first (though it did start filling up by the time we left). It was nice that it was designed specifically for little kids - it felt safe and she was able to do a lot on her own. I also appreciated that other parents/adults were very hands-on watching their kids, so kids weren’t running wild or anything.

I took their open house tour and had a great time. It was well organized and the people I met were lovely. It seems to be a happy place and the employees came across as happy. If I were looking for a new job, I'd apply here for no other reason than everyone had a good attitude. Also, the candy is as fresh as can be here and it's amazing.

I took the kids through the Factory Tour. It is an incredibly cheap option as a quick trip, only $2 for kids and $4 for adults. It took about an hour to walk through the factory. It was super cool to see how the chocolate is made. They even gave us samples at the end and vouchers for money off any candy we wanted to purchase after the tour. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable as well.

Fantastic place for the family! Growing up in Columbus, I, of course was familiar with Anthony Thomas, but never went to the factory until now, many, many years later. Went with my family over winter vacation. Took a guided tour which was very inexpensive and very informative. Plus, if you buy something in the gift shop on the way out, you essentially make the price of the tour back, which was $1 for kids and $2 for adults, since they give you a coupon for that on your way out. We got information about the history of not only the company, but of chocolate making, as well. Plus we got to see how Anthony Thomas chocolates are made, as well as contracted chocolates they do for Big Brand chocolate companies, as well. And at the end, a sweet treat for everyone! Definitely worth the trip and glad that we made reservations to do this. Mary, our guide, was incredible.

As an otr driver parking is very important I did get to the facility late in the evening and parked over night no one messed with me and the next morning they came out to my truck around 715 am.. I was already in the dock no need to open the door they do all of that from the inside everything was very fast and and they where very nice to me. Thanks.

The tour is fun and interesting; the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. And there is absoluyely no way to resist the amazing display of chocolate and sweets when the tour ends at the the shop.

Very educational and insightful. The lady giving the tour was patient and thorough, which was appreciated. The gift shop had a nice selection of goodies to take home.

Such a great place and the candy store is huge and has everything. Yours are fun. The open house is free and so worth it. We bought so much chocolate and candy and they have sugar free!!

We had my son’s third birthday party at We Rock the Spectrum, and it was perfect for his age group and all family and friends that attended. The party room was set up when we arrived, we had the entire space to ourselves, and the facility was immaculately clean and organized. Every child at the party enjoyed themselves, and they were all able to play safely despite being of different ages. I’d highly recommend having a party at this location!

I have been brining my cousin here for about 3 years now and I am absolutely pleased with the rotating swing options, the multi age sensory play equipment, and the overall environment. They have amazing payment options like pay-for-the-day, 5/10 visit passes, and even a monthly pass. The only thing that may put a damper on things is that the passes do expire after a year. So if you pay for 10 passes and only use 7, then you’re out of money. Overall, I love this establishment!

We had a few hours to do something in between appointments and this was the perfect thing on a ninety degree day! Lots to do and play. It was a fun two hours!

My 2 year old loves this place. She can easily stay and play for hours. We have been coming here for a year now. Apparently it’s under new ownership now but we didn’t have any problems before. Make sure you call ahead because sometimes they have parties and close the doors for everyone else. I love that they have a room with tables so your Littles can pause and have a snack/lunch then continue their play. There’s a big trampoline, a play kitchen area with dress up. Lots and lots of Melissa and Doug toys which are my absolute favorite. There’s a chalk board, a little kids table where they can sit and color, zip line which I don’t think my daughter can use til maybe she’s 3 without any adult help. And they have a variety of swings in the middle back of the building that can be used for a variety of ages. Just be careful as some kids will swing and not pay attention and knock your kid down 🤣 Make sure to bring socks for your little ones and for yourself or they are available for purchase there.

All hands-on activities. My son was free to run around and use the play pieces he wanted. There is a craft area, a play area, and a separate room where you can have snacks and such. It's a bit of a drive for us, but definitely worth it. If we lived closer l, I would definitely purchase a membership. It was perfect for running off energy.

This place is amazing! It is one of the most interactive sensory friendly places i’ve seen. The front desk worker was not kind, patient, or understanding. I wish they would provide better training for people working at places like this even if they are just front desk staff. Overall good experience otherwise!!

My children and I love this play place! Sometimes it can get busy, but the majority of the time we come here, it isn't that crowded. There is lots to do; from trampolines, a mini zip line, swings, dress up, rock wall climbing, coloring, chalk wall, and even more! It has always been clean and neatly organized. I love that there are complimentary diapers and wipes in the bathroom if needed. The people working here have always been really nice and always keep the place in order. There is a massage chair for the guardians, too! (My husband's favorite 😆) I love that they now have the "snack room" open, the handful of times we have come before it was not open. They also have snacks you can purchase, as well as toys for sale. You need socks to play, this goes for parents too. Definitely give a try if you have not been here!

Today was such a fun experience when zip lining and our amazing guides Reece and sam made the the experience 100 time better. They did such an amazing job helping us through the course and I am so glad that they were our guides. Thank you for a time to remember.

What a hidden gem!!! I normally have trouble finding nice places to go when we have visitors, or when we want to celebrate a special date like Father's day. ZipZone is for sure going into my list of "it" places. Open, clean, safe, fun. They have a small course for kids up to 7 years, and 7+ can go with the adults into a higher rope course. Love it! We are already planning our son's birthday party next year here!

The guides here are amazing and extremely personable. They work extraordinary well with kiddos. The tour 8s a short 2 hr ordeal with 5 zips. Is a good beginners course.

Omg, this place was awesome! We came all the way from New Mexico for vacation with 3 teenage boys to do both the adventure park and the zip line. Trying to find things that will keep boys entertained and wear them out is a challenge, but this place did just that! They loved it! We all loved it! If you're afraid of heights put your big girl/ boy pants on because all you've got is a wireline keeping you from hitting the ground. You're gonna need a little bit of muscle too. I admit I don't have much muscle but I made it through the 2nd to hardest course, with a whole lot of courage. My boys made it through all of them and in the end, they were out for the count! Im so happy I found this place, it was worth every cent, the staff were super friendly and funny as well. It just sucks there's nothing like this were I live.

We had a great time today! Jasmine and Cam were awesome, Super patient, fun, and made us feel totally safe the whole time. They were amazing with the kids in our group, so encouraging and caring when the little ones got worried. You can tell they really care about everyone having a great experience. We will definitely come back :)

We had such a fun experience here at this moonlight zipline tour our guides were matt & Jasmine they were great and made us feel safe . So fun would do again!

Awesome experience doing the night time zip line!! The tour guides were awesome as well. Loved my experience. Will definitely be back to do this again!

Visited here for the Matt Rife comedy show. Everything was amazing! Restrooms were clean and plenty of stalls. I really liked that for this show they had special cocktails for purchase. Unsure if it is a "Nationwide Arena thing" or a "Matt Rife thing".. but loved it. I've been to tons of arenas and I've never seen anything besides the basic white claw, beer, etc. All the people working the show were helpful + kind. I REALLY enjoyed connecting with the young lady at the staircase heading to the floor section. She was such a bright light and a joy to connect too. All in all --> I'd recommend this arena and will be booking future shows + concerts here.

My wife and I saw Reneé Rapp on her Bite Me tour here. The venue was easy to find and easy to enter. We used a nearby parking garage and bought our space beforehand. We had a couple minute walk to the main entrance. If you have no bags, you can walk right in. Then you go through the security scanners. We got on the escalator and went up to the main level. There were many friendly employees everywhere who answered our questions as we’ve never been to this venue. There were multiple food options available, along with alcohol at the same restaurant or in a separate place. We saw a few different merch lines and decided to get in line prior to the show. Once we were finished with that, we headed to our seats. We had 7th row seats on the floor, behind the pit areas. It was a wonderful venue! We were able to hear and see everything with no problems. There were average sized folding chairs, which we expected as we stood for all of the performance.

About the only thing that could get me to come hangout deep in enemy territory is Wu Tang. Run the Jewels and a *surprise showing of Dave Chappelle helped too. As such I was here for their final tour. It's sad this will be the 1st and last(?) time I'll ever see them all at once. The show was awesome though, they did all the songs. Not much in the way of special effects, but the sound was excellent. I had floor seats and didn't have issues seeing the stage from where I was. I didn't have any interactions with security, but let's just say they were not allowing any 'passing of bones'. Getting through security and navigating to my seat was painless. I didn't use the restrooms or concessions so can't speak on that. I was able to pregame at a bar nearby and then walk to things afterwards for food and drinks.

Arena is very beautiful safe and huge but parking is so expensive and a nightmare to find. Also the upper row of seating specifically sections in the 200's is very dangerous. Very narrow aisles to get to seats and the way the seats are angled is very steep Honestly pretty terrifying. We were in section 205 and could see the stage great but everyone was packed so close. We didn't stay for the whole show due to uncomfortable seating. Food and drink prices are what you would expect from an event of this size.

Very nice venue, but a bit underwhelming compared to other big city arenas. Huge shout out to the fact that I was able to buy a beer and a bag of peanuts for less than $10. That’s a first.

We drove 2 hours from KY to Nationwide to see Benson Boone last night and we were so excited! However, our seats were the 2nd from the top and I did not realize when I bought them how high it was since the tickets were selling fast. I didnt have time to research the arena. The seats feel very steep and it was even pretty scary for myself, but was hoping to acclimate. Sadly, we had to leave our seats because my daughter had a panic attack. I asked the usher if we could by chance pay more for any closer seats and we were told to go to guest services. They were so kind in helping us and I just want to say thank you to them for still allowing us to have a good experience after I thought for sure we wouldn't get to watch one of our favorite performers! I really appreciate it and won't forget it! Some side notes-lots of parking nearby you can pre pay for which is nice. Felt safe walking to and from the arena from the garages. Also, remember to use the right size bag. The Lululemon bags are the perfect size!

It’s been a while since we’ve been to the arena. One of the most remarkable things is how friendly all of the staff are, from the ticket checkers to the many courtesy staff that are throughout the facility. This is a top notch venue.

A nice stadium with fairly overpriced concessions. I did enjoy the game but paying $12 for a single beer and $4 for a single hot dog is ridiculous for a minor league baseball stadium. If it wasn't for the free jersey giveaway, then I don't know if I would have gone to the game. In any case, not a terrible experience.

Beautiful facility. House prepared meals were scrumptious. Gift shop very clean. Parking readily available and very cost efficient. Super friendly staff. We had a blast. Columbus Clippers rang our bell! 🛎 ⚾

A pretty good ballpark for a game. I got a seat in the bleachers which was a mistake. The sun was setting and it was impossible to see anything for the first four innings. I ended up leaving my seat and going to the standing section and watched the game from there. Once I did that it was a much more enjoyable experience. There were counters to lean on and set your drinks and food which was nice. The second thing that wasn't great was the dime a dog night promotion. I understand that im paying 10 cents for a hot dog, but they just were not good. I only got 3 as I didn't want to waste anything, but I barely ate 2 of them. And to see the amount of hot dogs that people were getting, and then wasting was disappointing. I got my hot dogs when the gates first opened, but the lines were crazy and people had to have missed several innings waiting in those lines. Dispite all of that, I enjoyed the game but will pick somewhere else to sit the next time I come to a game here.

Beautiful ballpark!! Atmosphere was alive and fun! Even a big rain storm didn't dampen (pun intended) our fun!! Can't wait to go back!

Love the Clippers. 4 stars because the children's play area is not well maintained.

09/15/2024 - Second time visiting Huntington Park with family and friends for the Columbus Clippers last home game versus the Saint Paul Saints. The Clippers 5 and the Saints 2. Let’s Go, Clippers! 09/08/2024 - First time visiting Huntington Park with family and friends to watch the Clippers and the Bulls bat it out. It was the first time that I went to a sporting event and the usher wiped down my seat. Thank you. The park seats about 10000 guests. There are a few bars, a few places to eat, a picnic area, and some pedestrians get to watch from the exterior of the field. Sadly we lost to the Durham Bulls (15-5). Great weather, cool crowd, nice and clean park. Nearby parking for a fee, and free street parking on Sundays. Prices contingent on the season and seats. Accessible to everyone including guests with medical devices. Enjoy.

It's a great place to watch a ball game. I don't think there is a bad spot, no matter where your seat is located. They have a lot of entertainment going on, like the hot dog races and build a human hamburger and giveaways like t-shirts being tossed into the seats. They have a nice gift shop which is an easy walk around the park .parking is only a 10 min walk or closer cost around $6, which isn't bad these days.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous, huge park! If you get the chance, ask a park ranger for a Metro Parks Passport — you can use it to explore other Columbus parks, collect stamps along the way, and even trade them in for a free commemorative T-shirt.

Had very nice 2 mile hike at first parking lot to right after entrance on unimproved path. Saw a deer. Keep dog on leash. One of the few unpaved trails where dogs on leash are allowed. Had resting benches along the way. Had dog water station at beginning with poop bags available. Please pick up after your dog!!

Stunning park with amazing trails. The nature center offers programming year round with 2 playgrounds. Super accessible for all ages and ablements. Highly recommend for anyone who loves creeks and a good trail.

Fantastic park, great for walking, flat in the Big Meadow, or tackle some moderate climbs on the Dipping Rock trail or the Outlook trail. Most trails are tree covered, great for the hot sunny summer days.

I love this park. It’s very clean and peaceful. The scenery is wonderful and there’s a lot of different trails. This park also offers a large list of events.

This park is amazing close to Polaris. There are a lot of kids playgrounds and bbq areas. The river overlook trail is not short with natural trails. The river overlook scenery in the end is not too impressive, but the trail walk is peaceful.

Love this park. The trails vary. I go here to workout and I’m not disappointed. There’s multiple trails with inclines, slopes and a low incline. The bathrooms are clean as well as the park. Plenty of parking space. My new favorite place.

What a great little museum! One of the oldest rail museums in the US, they have a great collection of Ohio transportation history. The trolley ride was great, and all the staff was able to answer any questions we had about the equipment. You are able to walk through a bunch of the cars and the trains, along with the displays inside the museum. A great afternoon for the young and young at heart.

A must see if in Worthington or Columbus area. It doesn't take long to explore. Enjoyed the short trolley ride. $10 admission for adults but worth it knowing what the money is being used for. They are looking for volunteers to help with restoration efforts. If I lived closer, this would be an amazing opportunity to be apart of something special with a significant history.

Such a cute train museum! While the trolley was down when we visited, we got to ride on the Speeder instead. This museum has so many upcoming improvements made - well worth buying a ticket or donating to make their dreams possible! They have so much history on their property worth preserving. Highly recommend visiting, especially if you're local to the Columbus area!

A very special place where history abounds. The volunteer staff is very knowledgeable about the different trains and cars on the property. The fact that you can walk around at your own pace and go inside of the different trains makes it really unique. The trolley ride is a lot of fun too! You can do it as many times as you want, it runs every half hour. Highly recommend a visit, even if you aren't a train enthusiast.

It may not be the biggest or most extensive heritage railroad/museum out there, but the equipment shown off is fascinating, the tram ride was fun, even if a little short, and the staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the locomotives and rolling stock. If I lived close enough I'd absolutely volunteer, and if you live within an hour of Worthington Ohio, you should too!

A hidden gem of Columbus especially if you know a train lover or have kids. The ride on the train is worth the cost because the volunteers are entertaining & made the ride so fun. Walking through the old trains is like walking through history. The staff is very knowledgeable & friendly. There are holiday events to look into as well. Admission is free but train ride costs money. Cute gifts in the shop too.

Small but alot of fun! Hidden gem for sure. My son loves trains so thought this would be a great low cost day activity. Went a little before close time but still had a blast. Small, interior museum and gift shop. The real attraction is outside. Slide open the station doors and go right onto the tracks! There's a variety of train cars you can walk through and tour and each car had a volunteer ready to tell its story. The post office car even had a small train set for young kids to play with, which we went back to after our self guided tour to relax until closing. Another car has a snack stand where you can buy drinks, snacks, candy, and even souvenir cups. When we went, the trolley car wasn't running (a ride on the trolley usually comes free with entry ticket purchase) so we got a free ride on the little yellow track service car(usually only 3$ extra). Where it was open, we couldn't go over the bridge, but got to see all the original buildings and hear the interesting facts about their use. They have plans to restore the buildings in the coming yrs and extend the tours. Staff was super friendly and informative. Will definitely be returning to ride the trolley and after restorations. Ended up not being a cheap trip just cuz my kids wanted snacks and souvenirs lol highly recommend if you're looking for a low cost fun family activity in the area!

Nice place. You can get a room for party group or a table out in the general area. Have various trampoline and other related activities. Good design. Great ninja area. Overall, smaller and tighter and darker too, which made locating my child more challenging.

Kids loved it here, everyone got an icee and they had about 6 different flavors.. and we tried the churro bites 10 for 5.00. Stuffs here a little pricey.. but bottom line the kids had fun. I got to chill with my phone plugged in and charging with a charging port bar stool area.. and well we're definitely coming back here 🙃 friendly staff and very helpful 😁

I took my 2 grandsons (5 and 10) on Saturday 12/28. We went right at opening time because there are fewer kids and less older children in the morning. The monitors were all great. The girl covering the ball pit was very attentive and directed my boys on the right way to do things. The Wipeout area attendee was good too. While they were all attentive they really need to smile more and be friendlier. We also had great experiences at the climbing area where they wear harnesses and the ropes and zipline areas. We were there for 3 or 4 hours before it started to feel crowded. It seems expensive when you are paying for it but there is no time limit so it really isn't bad. The eating areas and the bathrooms were cleaner than I expected them to be with all the kids. The boys had a blast and didn't want to leave even after that length of time.

We attended a birthday party for my cousin the weekend of the 15th. It was a MADHOUSE and let me tell you the staff was well trained and kept complete calm and professionalism. My daughter had so much fun even with the crowd of children. She dealt personally with staff as she got stuck (not strong enough) on the zip rider as well as her small panic during the sky obstacle course. We had a party room and I think that was my only complaint. It had a foot smell which 100% expected due to the shoes and small space. We asked for the door to remain open to help and the staff was more than happy to help assist. My cousin hosted and the staff helped her so we could all enjoy time with our children and the birthday boy. And staff set up and tore down (big bonus for busy parents) 110% will come back. We even got little gift certificates as party favors for free admission, buy one get one free pizza, and merch!

Had my son’s 3rd birthday here. The only complaint I have was that there was no regulation with the big kids. Teenagers were RUNNING down the walkways and workers didn’t do anything to stop them trampling the little kids. My 3 year old and some of the guests at the party complained their kids were shoved/pushed in the walkways by teenagers. Aside from that my child had fun with his cousins and our host was super nice. Probably wouldn’t have another party here for my little one but would consider for my oldest if they were able to regulate the teenagers.

My granddaughter is a Platinum member and simply loves it. Being a member has more bang to your buck. Pay monthly go as many times as you like plus free slice of pizza and a snack every time.

The facilities are good, but the staff running the business are in need of retraining. To begin, we waited 23 minutes to check in for a birthday party. At some point, children began fighting while we were there and the children were allowed to come in and out of the business screaming profanities throughout. Staff stood by and watched instead of seeking to remove the families who caused the disturbance. We will not be returning to this location.

Don’t let the name fool you - they have programming for all ages, not just kids! Our “tour group” for “In the Land of Oz” was composed entirely of adults and everyone had a wonderful time. We will certainly seek out future productions!

Brow Bear was a great show for kids. Definitely recommend.

We have been to about 4 children’s interactive shows (focused on the 0-5 age bracket) and they have been so much fun for our toddlers! I cannot recommend these shows enough for a great weekend morning activity. Our favorite so far has been Dragons Love Tacos!

We attended with our 3.5 and 1.5 yr olds the show was cute however I encourage the actors to speak during the show. I completely understand the concept behind not speaking but when interacting with children of this age group they didn't really know what to do without words. I'd give it a 5 star if they spoke to the children my son asked the entire time why they didn't talk. But cute show

Their summer camp is well meaning but disorganized. They invited parents to the 20 min end of the week performance and started it 15 min early.

The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Extremely welcoming to children with special needs. We went to see Rapunzel, it was shortened to keep the kiddos attention span and was such a cute play! They had activities in the lobby for kids to take breaks and even had a tv so they didn't miss the play. We will definitely be coming back for Mary Poppins, thanks for the wonderful afternoon!

We took our grand daughters to see "West Side Story" today and really enjoyed the performance. Our only objection was to the graphic portrayal of Anita's assault by the Jets. I think this could have been modified due to the fact this is Children's Theater. Anita being harassed would have been enough.

An Unforgettable Experience at Urban Air Dublin! This weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting TK and Malachi at the YMCA. They gave me tickets for my summer camp. We were able to visit Urban Air Trampoline Park in Dublin, Ohio—and it was truly a life-changing experience for many of them. Our camp focuses on social and emotional learning, and our campers come from diverse backgrounds, with more than half being part of the Somali community. For most of them, this was their very first time visiting Urban Air, and their joy was truly heartwarming. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Malachi, the manager, was incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive. She streamlined the check-in process for all 30 of our students—quickly handling waivers, wristbands, and socks with a level of professionalism and care that did not go unnoticed. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. They even allowed us to order four pizzas and four pitchers of drinks, which are typically reserved for birthday parties—an incredibly generous gesture that made the outing even more special. As one of our third-grade campers put it, “This field trip was unforgettable and life changing.” Thank you to the entire Urban Air Dublin team for your hospitality, kindness, and commitment to creating lasting memories for our students. We are beyond grateful—and this definitely won’t be our last visit!

This place is provides a lot fun for kids and their parents. As a grandparent I sat and watched the kids jumping and playing and having fun. There are a couple of things that I saw that concerned me regarding potential injuries, but no blood, no foul for the most part. As long as you obey the rules, your kids should not get injured. My 3 year old grandson had a great time on New Years Day.

my kids, 7 and 9, went to the Dublin park a couple of weeks ago. The staff was so amazingly accommodating. We were given such great treatment. One of the staff was playing dodge ball with the kids and when my son told him it was the funnest part of his day we were given 2 tickets to come back! so so kind! Another staff member, I believe management, gave us 2 slices of pizza because I confused the menu and thought we were getting them. Such a great time and great staff!! They really express care for the kids, not just a job. Thank you for the exciting experience for my kids!

My step daughter's family had her birthday party here and they rented the large party room. The space was nice and the pizza was delicious. It was a bit pricey though for what you got, the pizza delivery fee for the pizza being brought to the party room was insane. I'd definitely make sure you get an itemized summary and look it over. The zip line was shut down 30 min before her scheduled party time was over, I'm not sure why but it opened 15 min later.

Be aware, this place works way different than is advertised on the website and reviews. PROS: big playground, a lot of shared spaces, clean and fairly safe. CONS: They have an awful lack of organization, your host is not 100% supporting you, not "welcome protocol" except for "checking-in", plus they are understaffed. (4 or 6 adults + 8 or 10 teenagers, for 100+ customers) We arrived before the appointment time as suggested to make room preparations, they make us wait additional 15+ min after the appointment time. Got the Deluxe Package contracted, which includes separate room + dedicated host, is today's day I don't remember our host name(again no introduction, no "welcome " protocol). Need to be "pushy" with the staff, otherwise they take their sweet time to make things happen, instead of being a step ahead of the game. "Bright side" was an additional pizza, as compensation, for providing package pizzas delayed. When closing the bill, on time of course!, they bring the tablet to you expecting a real "tip" for the services provided, like if they really work hard for or like if it was a Customer obligation. Taking positive learning, we got our lesson to what place not to come back.

Great time this past weekend with the grand babies. The zip line was the best! They also like climbing wall it was super cool. We will be back! % stars all the way

We've been coming here all summer & my kid & her friend have had the best time. TK is amazing & deserves a raise! He's so full of energy & enthusiasm hut he's also caring & compassionate. My daughter got hurt & he made sure that ice was available & did everything he could to make her feel better.

My friends and I have done every single room at this place! The staff is always so friendly and kind. The rooms are well-made with great storylines and fun challenges! We’ve had a variety of gms and they have all been wonderful at not only providing small hints to us when we needed them and being attentive to what was going on at all times(we needed a door to be opened because not all of our players could crawl through a small tunnel in one of the rooms and our wonderful gm Jules came over the speaker to help us get it open). Wonderful experience for parties, nights out, or if you’re just looking for something to do!!

We had such a great time there that we went back two more times!! Had some small issues during two games but those were fixed right away and didn't take much away from the game play. Our game hosts were wonderful and funny. Definitely will visit again when we are in town to finish the last few rooms. We did prison break, the market and the heist. The market was our favorite with the heist being our least, but that could also be because it was our last one so we were a bit tired.

It was great! It kept all of us challenged the whole time. Definitely a great exercise in teamwork and communication! Mal was such an excellent guide and challenged us and then helped us when we needed it! Such a fun time!

My experience with this location did not start off good due to a mishap in the address provided to me in the email for parking they sent me. Due to this mishap we had to change room themes and wait 3 hours for another game; However, the front desk attendant Abbie and staff went above and beyond to correct their mistake. They even snuck in some birthday prompts and gifts for my daughter at then end! It’s one thing to have a great experience from start to finish; but they took accountability and we still enjoyed every moment of it! We did specials ops and it was a wonderful game with twist and turns to the plot! This was our first one and we got out with 33 seconds to spare! Thank you escape room team for your response to our frustration with excellent customer service and still making sure my daughter and family had the great time we were expecting despite the mishaps! It’s hard to find this type of integrity in places! Thank you!!! 5 stars hands down!

My husband and I have done almost all of their escape rooms, and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time. The staff is wonderful and each room is unique and immersive. Shout out to the staff that have been our game masters/worked with us: Ali, John, Brandon, and Margaret! They also gave us a cute, hand drawn card when we told them we were celebrating our one year wedding anniversary!

Absolutely Incredible Escape Room Experience! We had an amazing time at this escape room — easily one of the best we've ever done! The puzzles were clever, immersive, and just the right level of challenging. The room design and attention to detail made it feel like we were actually part of a movie or adventure. But what really took the whole experience to the next level was Jules. From the moment we arrived, Jules was welcoming, energetic, and clearly passionate about what she does. She gave the perfect balance of hints — just enough to keep us moving without giving too much away. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure every group has a fantastic time. Highly recommend this place, and if you can, request Jules. She’s a total rockstar! We’ll definitely be coming back for another room soon! 🔐✨

Mal was an awesome host while we tackled The Playground. We LOVED the room. Definitely want to go with a group as there are a ton of puzzles to complete.

The staff was great setting up the kids on everything. Especially the gal that was working on the rock wall! She was the best of the three employees that we worked directly with and the host at the front that took our money. The kids loved it; a solid 2 hour exercise session and the kids are sleeping peacefully.

Visiting this place today with my niece and nephew who are 6&8. They had a lot of fun. They liked it was open. It was a bummer some of attractions were not available to use (zip line, Wipeout, and the rockwall) we paid for thr all day access pass to get these and they weren't available, so kinda a bummer. The special socks are extra if you don't own a pair from this place already. I ordered online before we went and signed the waiver online. It was very user friendly. It made checking in quick and easy. Because school was back in session, it was not crowded at all. They offer a variety of concessions, in true concession fashion, food is not cheap. They have tables to sit down and eat. They offer birthday parties and packages. They had memberships. They did have lockers you can rent $3 rental fee. They did have free wifi. Overall it was a success for one final adventure before school started.

The monthly membership is well worth it! Even in the summer time, getting out of the heat, but keeping active is so helpful. Food at the cafe isn’t bad. Pizza is delicious! Jackson at the cafe is super helpful and polite! Staff actually watch your kiddos and make sure everyone is playing fair/nice/safe!

Summer camp has been awesome—this is our second year! Our daughter actually asked to go again and was excited to head there every morning. Besides all the jumping, she loved the crafts and stayed busy making new friends. Big shoutout to counselors Emilie and Andrew—they made it super fun and handled any issues like pros, keeping us in the loop. Highly recommend!

I always have a great experience at GetAir Trampoline Park thanks to the manager, Rick. He has been wonderful with my kids and consistently provides excellent customer service. He’s always upbeat, welcoming, and makes us feel right at home. Just walking in the door and being greeted by him makes the whole park experience even better. Truly an outstanding manager who makes a big difference!

We hadn't visited Rockin Jump in a while, as we typically go to Urban Air. Yesterday, we met friends at the Dublin location. When our friends were rung up first, they mentioned paying $10 for an all-day pass. However, when it was our turn, I was charged the hourly rate instead. I immediately returned to the cashier to address the discrepancy, explaining that I should have received the same all-day pass rate. The cashier said they couldn't help due to a "no refund policy." I clarified that this wasn't a refund request – they had simply overcharged me. At this point, another staff member overheard and approached with an extremely rude tone, pointing to a "no refunds" sign. Despite my repeated explanations that this was an overcharge, not a refund situation, they called over a manager who only provided a corporate email address. I followed up via email, but it only reached the local site. They acknowledged they couldn't process a refund but offered to escalate to their district manager. While they offered free passes as compensation, I declined due to the unprofessional treatment, particularly from the rude staff member. The issue isn't the $30 – it's the principle. Businesses should own their mistakes and treat customers with respect. The poor customer service and staff attitude ensure we won't return. With many birthdays to plan and connections in the area, we'll be sharing this experience with others and taking our business elsewhere.

I would like to caution you before booking your kids/family party at Rockin’ Jump. Their fees can be quite misleading. My grandson recently had a party at the Dublin location. They booked and prepaid the package deal of roughly $329.00 (for 15 kids). During the event a few more kids arrived than expected. They were prepared to pay a little more for this. However, when parents were asked if they wanted to jump, no one informed them they too would have to pay another $20.00/adult (and most of them didn’t even jump, just wanted to be in the jumping area). None of this was not communicated in advance. My son/daughter in law, did request additional party time, which my in-laws gladly paid separately themselves. However, in addition to the extra time, each jumper was charged another $5/person, for the extra time (not communicated in advance). So, when the final bill came, Rockin' Jump charged them another $400.00. So, a $329.00 party turned into a $729.00, yet there was no discussion in advance that all of these charges were occurring. When they called to ask about this (and state how absurd this is), the employee at the Dublin location, agreed as well (that was absurd). To challenge the bill (when you call the location), the only way to communicate to the Manager/Owner is via e-mail. There is no live phone # to him/her, nor will they transfer the call to anyone more senior. So they did inquire further about this via e-mail, and Rockin’ Jump’s response was to simply substantiate their charge (with the break-down). We tried to request that some consideration be given (perhaps meet in the middle of the $400.00 incremental charge), and they completely stopped responding (even after it was stated they would post this incident). In reading other reviews, this has apparently happened before to other guests. Also note, Rockin’ Jump is not registered on the BBB. Bottom-line, I’d be very leery about booking an event at Rockin’ Jump. If you still do want to take this risk, I’d get all the incremental charges up front.

Was told about the groupon for this place at 30ish dollars a kid for a month and we had to try it with our 6 and 7 year old. Looks really cool walking in but as we started to check it out more, there was less and less stuff the kids could do. They had a spinny thing kids can play in however it was broken. The basketball hoops looked fun but one of the 2 was broken. Alot of the obstacles were set up for adults and way too tall for kids. My kids did really enjoy the trampoline area and the dodgeball area. The climbing area was pretty cool as well. Overall it was an alright time that burned some of my kids energy and for 30$ for the month not too bad. Compared to big air, my kids have way more options and more fun though. It was nice to try something new though. Thanks guys!

It was a good experience I liked the trampoline but the actual ninja course was too hard for other visitors overall it was good.

This place was so perfect for my kids. They really have something for all ages. Staff was very friendly and helpful for our first visit. My oldest is only 8, so as expected, there was stuff that was too big for him. That's one thing I like.... We can continue to go here year after year and they will grow into new challenges. We were there over winter break and it was very busy, but there's plenty to do and plenty of room for everyone.
