Try a Columbus Escape!

August 21, 2015 by The Columbus Team

Try a Columbus escape with Great Room Escape! This is a fun idea for families with teens. Locked in a room with a zombie, and the clock is ticking…can you use the clues to escape before you become zombified? Challenging, fun, scary, and wickedly funny, this is a family activity like no other! Up to 12 participants are “locked in a room” with a chained zombie and a bunch of clues on how to escape. Solve the puzzle fast, because the chain holding the zombie back gets a foot longer every 5 minutes! Bring a big group or join strangers and try and find the escape solutions before the zombie touches you and removes you from the game. A huge hit with adults, teens, and unflappable younger kids!

Get Zippy! Ziplining in Worthington

August 14, 2015 by The Columbus Team

ZipZone Tours Camp Mary Orton is a great place to try ziplining in Worthington for the first time, so get zippy! With experienced tour guides, top-notch safety equipment, and beautiful forest scenery, you’ll love zipping through the treetops! Reservations are required in advance, and the tours are open to ages 7-70. Weight is a safety issue, so you must be between 50-270 lbs. The lines can hold over 25,000 lbs, but anyone over 270 lbs picks up too much speed to be safe, hence the restrictions. If you have a disability or any question about whether ziplining is for you, the staff is happy to answer your questions!

Check mate! Here’s a strategy to keep the kids busy

60 Days of Summer Columbus OH Fun Activities To Do
Bring your chess set, board game or laptop for a quiet tabletop game on the Promenade of the Scioto Mile after running and playing in the rest of the park.

Bicentennial Park is a downtown park boasting a fountain, park restaurant, and performance pavilion as well as flower gardens and the Promenade.

The Promenade is a lovely wide paved walking trail that connects Battelle Riverfront Park with Bicentennial Park. There are swings, canals, and tables for board games or chess lining the walkway, and beautiful gardens and trees, too. This is a fantastic place to walk, river gaze, swing, chat and relax on summer days, especially with that cool river breeze blowing the city heat away!

The AEP Foundation Fountain is a stunning interactive fountain, with splash features for children, and lighting and fog effects at night. Fountain shows are actually scheduled throughout the summer. Pets are not permitted, and children under 8 must have an adult with them…and a word to the wise, the water is recycled so it’s not for sipping.

Mile 229 is the Park Restaurant, which offers views of the riverfront and fountain. While pricey, the food is delicious and the excellent staff is very accommodating of well-behaved children. Pets not permitted.

The performance pavilion is host to free music, dance and theatrical performance presented by Columbus Parks and Rec, and is available for rent for events.

This park is another of our summer sweethearts but is worth visiting three seasons a year. Only in the cold winters is it too frigid for real enjoyment.
