Columbus, Oh Day Trip + Giveaway

Hop in the car for some new scenery this spring break. Columbus is just a short hour-and-a-half drive from Cincinnati and there is so much to see and do! FRANKLIN PARK CONSERVATORY AND BOTANICAL GARDENS (1777 E Broad St. | fpconservatory.org) is a unique venue that offers both indoor and outdoor experiences with timed-reservations. The outdoor Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden is an outstanding play area where kids can play while learning about nature. It may be hard to pry the kids away from the super cool canopy walk at FRANKLIN PARK CONSERVATORY, but remind them the animals at THE COLUMBUS ZOO & AQUARIUM (4850 W Powell Road | columbuszoo.org) are waiting. The zoo requires reservations-for-lower-capacity, but once you’re in, head to see big cats, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, primates and more. Families will also love seeing playful polar bears through the multi-level, underwater viewing spaces in the Polar Frontier. And new this year is Adventure Cove, which boasts sea lions and seals.
