Get misty at Hayden Falls. The falls are located in Griggs Reservoir Park on the west side of the Scioto River in Columbus. Travel down a stairway to the boardwalk near the base of the fall to experience its wild and scenic wonder waiting to tumble enjoyable misty moments for all.

College sports excel at the Ohio State University. The Ohio State Buckeyes, men's and women's sports team shine in baseball, football, ice hockey, volley ball, tennis, soccer, golf, track, and swimming. The team holds a National Championship win in almost each sport and the Ohio Stadium, aka "The Shoe," is home court to almost six annual home games.

Families can chill together at the Chiller Ice Rink. Enjoy an afternoon of family skating when everyone escapes to the ice to slip and slide on the city's number one ice rink. Stay around and catch a hockey game, join a skating class, or sign the kids up to attend Camp Chiller and learn how to ice skate.

Located in the heart of Downtown Columbus and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Central Ohio Fire Museum and Learning Center offers engaging activities for all ages. Your adventure begins by going back in time. As the adult visitors learn about the fire trucks of the past and the way fires used to be fought, the kids get to visit with Him the Fire Horse and hear the bells that would sound as the trucks raced through the streets. Be on the lookout for a fireman sliding down the pole! Your adventure continues to the Fire Safety Education area that is also for all ages. A Fire Safety Educator will share ideas and tips on preventing a home fire and will guide you through the steps to take in the event of a fire, be it a kitchen fire or a fire that breaks out during the night while you sleep. First you will see a smoke-filled bedroom with a firefighter searching for a victim, then you will see how the same room looks after the fire. Both experiences provide a humbling reality of home fires. Kids can end their visit in the Jr. Firefighter Academy where they can put on fire gear, slide down a pole, and drive a firetruck to the fire. Adults are welcome to slide down the pole or do a little shopping at the gift shop.  The Fire Museum is available to host birthday parties, business meetings, or other gatherings.
