The museum also features a Little Kidspace for younger children and a permanent American Museum of Natural History Dinosaur Gallery.

There are many exhibits to explore. The dinosaur & shark exhibits were great to see, as they had life size models on display & it was very informative. The Ocean exhibit was fun because you can go into a real submarine & there is an interactive water room. One of the best things about the museum is how many hands on things there are to do. It's definitely a great place for all ages.

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.

This is a really special place and I wish I’d had more time. The merger of the original building with new wings - so common in American museums - is really well done. The interior atrium and outside spaces are striking counterpoints to the galleries. I loved learning more about Ohioan artists. Didn’t get to try to cafe. Needed 3 hours, minimum. Glad for my 55 minutes!

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.

This was the coolest zoo we've been to. The rides do cost extra but there's so much to do in the zoo that you don't need it. There's so many animals and each exhibit is meticulously planned to provide a nice space for the animal. The zoo flowed well and we really enjoyed the different sections so we knew what to expect for the animals. Great zoo and a great experience.
Rachel B — Google review
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.

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..

German restaurant
Schmidt’s Sausage Haus Restaurant is a historic German eatery located in a livery stable, offering an unpretentious atmosphere and live oompah music. Established in 1886 as a meatpacking business, it has retained traces of German-American culture. Situated in the revitalized German Village, this long-running establishment provides a unique culinary experience with its large selection of dishes and awesome service.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently dined at Schmidt's Sausage Haus, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! I tried the turkey Reuben, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The side of potato pancakes was phenomenal; they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, truly a must-try! The beer selection was impressive, and I opted for a German light that complemented my meal beautifully. To top off my visit, I took a cream puff to go, which was a delightful treat! What really stood out was the fantastic interaction with the staff and fellow guests. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I can't wait to return for another round of those amazing dishes! Highly recommend!

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.
Nathan G — Google review
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.

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.

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 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.

The Ohio Statehouse, completed in 1861, is a grand Greek revival building that serves as the state Capitol and seat of governance for the Ohio state government. The structure underwent multiple design changes and was supervised by five architects before its completion. Influenced by Greek architecture, it exudes grandeur and tradition. Visitors are drawn to its historical art, including The Grand Stair Hall and the Rotunda.
I took a phenomenal tour with Larry. He was a very friendly tour guide open to many questions and was very knowledgeable. This capitol was amazing. The Rotunda was fantastic, along with the Chambers. I really enjoyed the addition and the connecting room. This capitol truly is fantastic. Well worth the visit.

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.

Barry — Google review
“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.”

Unlike traditional war museums, this institution focuses on the personal stories of ordinary soldiers, sailors, pilots, medics, and others through intimate exhibits featuring photos, personal artifacts like letters and rations, as well as video testimonials.
The buildings architecture is worth a visit alone but the thought and caring devoted to veterans is above and beyond. It’s a place worthy of its name for anybody to enjoy.

An excellent tribute to all the brave men and women who served our country! This was special as it reflected on many aspects of military life. From the time away from family, to serving, to coming home. There are many touching views from those who served. This was special for me as my dad served 28 years in the Air Force from Korean War through the late 70's. The museum is unique in that it is round. The architecture is great and at the top you can sit and see the skyline. There is an outdoor meadow with waterfalls that is free to visit.

Had a great time at the National Veterans Memorial museum. Easy parking, easy access. Right across the street from COSI. Great meeting rooms for groups. Spent the majority of time exploring the exterior grounds (need to go back to check out the displays). Wonderful Memorial Grove is a sanctuary for remembrance and reflection with dozens and dozens of American Elms providing natural shade along the path proving a great place for relaxation amd rest. There are also 4 waterfalls to constantly provide a natural backdrop in contrast to the normal busy city sounds one might expect in the inner city. The limestone wall reflects regional geology and symbolizes the strength of the nation. The waterfalls highlight water as the source of life and healing. Loved the city view walk around the main lot. I was touched by a rifle, helmet and boots display in the water with the inscription "Our debt to the heroic men and the valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude, America will never forget their sacrifices." I enjoyed walking to the top of the building and seeing the city scape from there. Noticed an amphitheater on the roof that looked like a great location for gatherings.

The museum is quite moving, but is also very small. In my opinion, $18 is a quite expensive admission price (the cost of admission is lower for vets, gold star families, children, and seniors) for the minimal exhibits. But the Worthington and Columbus Libraries have passes for free admission. The museum has a nice timeline with items, photos, and videos of the US's military engagements from the revolution to Afghanistan and Iraq.

This iconic venue serves as the proud home of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team and has become synonymous with college football culture. Designed by Howard Dwight Smith, it stands out as one of the earliest concrete stadiums, showcasing its unique horseshoe shape that fans adore.
Every trip to this place is more memorable and fun than the last! It was super easy to get in, and getting food and drinks was no problem. I love the setup that there are refill stations as that makes getting drinks faster. It was my wife's first game, so it was a perfect weather day and fans to help us enjoy! Go buckeyes!

Huge stadium, 107,000 people at the game. We were at the very top 41 rows to the top. It is steep. Everyone we met and talked were super friendly from workers to fans. Thank God for the bicycle people taking you from the parking lot to and from game. Cost 25 a person. Worth every bit of the hundred spent. Plenty of rest rooms and there are elevators if you don't want to walk up the very many flights of stairs to get to your section.

Nestled just south of the Ohio Statehouse, the stunning Ohio Theatre is a true gem of Spanish-Baroque architecture that has captivated audiences since its grand opening in 1928. Originally designed as a movie palace and variety show venue, this majestic theater features an impressive 21-foot chandelier and intricate details that transport visitors to another era.
My daughter and I had the pleasure of seeing Hamilton at the Ohio Theatre a few days ago—and it was absolutely spectacular! The theatre itself is beautifully maintained and comfortably climate-controlled, with plush seating that made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, the Ohio Theatre is a fantastic venue for Broadway productions—we couldn’t have asked for a better evening!

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!

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.

The Ohio State University is a prominent public research institution with a sprawling campus in the college town of Columbus. The city offers a mix of affordable eateries and lively bars near the campus, as well as more upscale options in areas like Easton Town Center and German Village. Columbus has a rich history shaped by German immigrants, offering diverse cultural experiences for visitors to explore. The university's main campus has been an integral part of the city for 150 years and is one of the largest in the country.
The Ohio State University campus is basically it's own city.I spent some time walking the Olentangy Trail from Lane Avenue to about King Avenue. There is a lot of construction in this area and it had quite a few detours on the trail. These detours take you into campus and gave me a different perspective other than just from the trail. Ohio State University campus is constantly changing but it still has quite a few historic sites and some impressive new ones.

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.

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.

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.

The Ohio History Center is a must-visit for history enthusiasts of all ages. It offers interactive exhibits covering the state's history, including Ohio Village, an immersive re-creation of an 1860s town. Visitors can marvel at a mastodon skeleton and explore a hands-on Lustron house exhibit from the 1950s. The museum also showcases United States' involvement in World War I and features diverse collections, including preserved Civil War flags.
Amazing job hosting the Kwanzaa 614! I enjoyed walking around the exhibits to learn more about Ohio’s History. The staffs were very friendly and welcoming. My family and I enjoyed every single moment while we were there. I highly recommend families taking a visit here!

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.

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.

One of my favorite parks in the city. It’s great for people watching and enjoying the many dogs our residents have. I always make a new friend when I’m here. The squirrels let people get awfully close too! Mind the north center of the park when it’s heavily rained as it will flood!

Perfect Urban Park for Daily Walking & Community Activities This park has become an essential part of our daily routine - I take Kygo here every morning for our 2+ mile walk (to the park, around, and back), and it never disappoints. What Makes Schiller Park Special: Excellent Maintenance: - Always clean and well-kept - Beautiful mature trees providing great shade and scenery - Well-maintained walking paths perfect for daily exercise Friendly Community Atmosphere: - Dog walkers, joggers, and families are consistently friendly and respectful - Great sense of community among regular park users - Safe, welcoming environment for daily activities Outstanding Recreational Facilities: - Sports courts: Pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts in good condition - Historic Recreation Center: Well maintained community facility - Beautiful landscaping: Tall, mature trees create a park-like oasis in the city Active Community Programming: - Friends of Schiller Park (nonprofit) does excellent work maintaining community engagement - Farmers markets throughout the year - Community garage sales and other seasonal events - Historic German Village Association involvement adds cultural richness Safety & Accessibility: - Generally very safe for morning walks and exercise - Occasional unhoused individuals seeking shelter, but they're respectful and typically move on during daylight hours - Well-lit and visible from surrounding streets Bottom Line: Schiller Park is exactly what an urban neighborhood park should be clean, safe, active, and community focused. The combination of excellent facilities, beautiful natural features, and strong community programming makes it a true asset to German Village. Perfect for: Daily dog walking, morning exercise, family recreation, community events, pickleball/tennis enthusiasts Would I recommend? Absolutely! This is a model for how urban parks should be maintained and programmed.
