Instruments instead of actors take center stage at the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. Come spend an evening at the opulent and acoustically grand Ohio Theatre to hear the sweeping sounds of the capital city's oldest professional orchestra perform classical and pops concertos. Your musical mood is certain to hit a high note at this entertainment destination.

It's a home run when you hang out with the Columbus Clippers, a minor-league baseball team that struts their stuff at the capital city's Huntington Park Stadium. Derek Jeter and Darryl Strawberry are famous team alumni, and fan favorites include seasonal events such as "Dime-a-Dog Night," post-game concerts, and opening game fireworks displays.
