Always a great time! Family and budget friendly if you are local or just visiting.
Huntington Park
Great spot with loads of history and character. Don't leave without a slice of baklava cheesecake.
Tommy's Diner
Spend an hour or a day, going room by room in this great little mom and pop book shop. Super reasonable prices.
The Book Loft of German Village
IYKYK This is the best mental and physical reset. I have been floating for years, and a few years ago I had a bulged disc. I was laid up for days before I decided to go the float spa. I was 100% back on my feet after my 1 hour visit. They run logo sp...
True REST Float Spa
Any day is a great day for Buckeye Donuts, except maybe a game day. Always open, never closed. You can pop in for the best donuts in cbus or you could even grab LUNCH too!
Buckeye Donuts
I prefer the Graceland location, but if you are downtown, either location is awesome. The appetizer tator tots make my mouth water just thinking about them. Sit at the bar, strike up a convo with a stranger.
Pat and Gracie's
This was an awesome renovation. If you have a few hours in Columbus, you don't want to miss this. Check their hours and events schedule before you go to see what's popping.
National Veterans Memorial and Museum
Located within Whetstone Park, this is one of the largest public rose gardens in America. It's a beautiful spot for a walk, especially when the roses are in bloom. Ample parking in a safe neighborhood.
Columbus Park of Roses
It's great in the summer, but awesome in the winter. Go Ice Bumper Carring: A truly one-of-a-kind activity, you can ride bumper cars on a portable ice rink. Land-Grant Brewing Company has a "Wintergarden" where you can do this, adding a fun, playful twist to a brewery visit.
Land-Grant Brewing Company
My son had his first piano recital here so it will always be extra special. A beautifully renovated historic theatre that focuses on celebrating local and international artists. It hosts a variety of performances, including jazz, R&B, and theatri...
Lincoln Theatre
This is their new location. I took a glass blowing class here on Valentine's Day a few years ago. 10/10 would recommend. It isn't as easy as they make it look, but really a fun time and you get to take home what you make.
Columbus Glass Art Center
Must catch event in Columbus - Tickets are a little pricey, but totally worth it - fun for the whole family.
Home New
Nice 1 day event south of downtown Columbus - Free admission, food, and fun!
Green Columbus' Earth Day Celebration — Earth Day Columbus
Opened in the fall of 2025 and for sure to be a hhidden gem - great food, great prices and a beautiful space. Parking in the lot next door and can be validated inside.

Once upon a time, a Columbus staple, it moved locations. It def isn't the same as the original location, but you cannot miss the view from the restaurant in the summer for the concert series or in the winter for the holiday lights.
