Travel

Columbus, Ohio is a great place for families with small children to travel. Columbus has many attractions that both kids and adults will love, and it’s also easy to get around the city which is an added bonus when traveling with children.

One of the best aspects about traveling to Columbus is that it is not an overly expensive city. Visitors can get good deals on flights, hotels, and meals at family-friendly restaurants.

The Columbus Zoo is one of the city’s greatest attractions. The zoo features many species of animals, and has a very large elephant exhibit. Not only are the animals a main attraction at the zoo, but there are often special events occurring there such as concerts, special “family nights,” and much more.  Entry to the Zoo also includes access to the Aquarium, which houses the first permanent  Manatee exhibit outside the state of Florida.  Zoombezi Bay Waterpark is also located right beside the Zoo, which makes for a convenient trip from the Zoo to the Waterpark!

The Columbus Center of Science and Industry (COSI) is one of the largest and most well known museums of its kind in the United States. It’s located in downtown Columbus and it has exhibits that will interest children and adults of all ages. The overall concept of COSI is to ensure that learning about science is fun.

One of Columbus ’ main attractions every year is the Ohio State Fair. It is a huge event that has event after event, demonstration after demonstration, and show after show for about a week and a half every August.
