7 days in Columbus Itinerary

More than just one of the nation's top business centers, Columbus is a mixture of many different parts of America, situated at the spot where the so-called "Bible Belt" meets the varied cultures of the Great Plains and Appalachia.

Family-friendly places like Center of Science and Industry (COSI) and Huntington Park will thrill your kids. And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Easton Town Center, join in the after-dark buzz at Columbus Axe Throwing, admire the natural beauty at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, and trek along Olentangy Trail.

For where to stay, other places to visit, ratings, and tourist information, refer to the Columbus trip planner.
