The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is one of the big attractions in the city of Columbus, the capital of Ohio.
Columbus is the capital of the state of Ohio, and the home of the Ohio State University, as well as a wealth of other attractions. Most travelers to Columbus arrive via the Port Columbus International Airport, although there are other ways of entering the city. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is one of the big attractions in the city, great for visiting with kids, and the collection of animals ranges from manatees to Siberian tigers. The Columbus Museum of Art is another great place to visit, and since it’s free on Sundays, and has an onsite restaurant, you can multi task. Franklin Park Conservatory is another must see in Columbus – the enormous glass buildings house an amazing array of plants, and in the spring time, with the Blooms and Butterflies Exhibition, you can add live butterflies to the experience. For fans of wine, the family owned and run Wyandotte Winery in the northeast of the city is a must do, with tastings, a wine shop and interesting insight into the art of wine making. Alternatively, you could tour the American Whistle Factory, or the Graeters Ice Cream Company. Festivals run in Columbus throughout the year, and depending on when you visit, you could be there for the Asian Festival, the Columbus Arts Festival or the Ohio State Fair, to name but a few. Whenever you visit though, there are many fine hotels to choose from, including the Hyatt on Capitol Square, and the Courtyard by Marriott. Then again, if you feel like a little nightlife before you go to sleep, there are many clubs, pubs and bars in town, although the Arena District, with its concentration of venues like the Lodge Bar, Brother’s Gasworks and Frog Bear Wild Boar among others is a convenient choice.
