Seasonality of Columbus, Ohio

Columbus isn't your typical tourist destination. As a city with many large businesses, hospitals, and a giant university, it attracts professionals and students as well as recreational visitors. Ohio's capital is also Ohio's largest city, with an estimated population of about 150,000 shy of a million people. So when you're visiting Columbus, think about the school year for timing business conventions.Ohio State University events will, understandably, consume considerable hotel space in the city, so if you're visiting make sure it's not during graduation or any big college games. Columbus also has several conference centers downtown, so it's smart to check if any large gatherings are happening that might make the prices of downtown hotels increase during certain weeks.Ohio has a beautiful fall, which you can see if you drive to the outskirts of Columbus or take a journey into the Hocking Hills. It gets chilly in the winter, with January seeing an average high of only 36 degrees, but many facilities in the city deck themselves out for the holiday season, and you can usually find "The Nutcracker" on stage if you visit during the holidays. Summers are relatively humid, but nothing a U.S. Southerner couldn't handle.

A visit to Columbus Recapped

Ohio's state capital is a likeable place to visit, with the massive Ohio State University just one of its sprawling structures. Columbus is set in Ohio's rural center, making the city an exciting place to see, not only because it's the only destination there is. Columbus transformed from a former patch of farmland into a fledgling city. The city was built entirely from scratch in 1812, with carefully planned points still evident in the cityscape. Statues portraying its namesake surround the city's well-designated streets. Tourists visit the Santa Maria, a replica of Christopher Columbus' ship, docked like the real thing at the Scioto River. The lively college city may seem to live behind the shadows of Cleveland or Cincinnati, but the tourists love Columbus for what it is - a less crowded old town, filled with a vibrant nightlife, charming Germanic architecture, and interesting museums. The orderly downtown area is not without surprises, as Columbus boasts of the most active gay scenes in the nation. Head to the Brewery or the Short North Arts District, and see that there's no need to take that 2 hour trip to the next urban town.

"I like Columbus, Ohio, because it's Pleasantville for real", says author Bobby Lee.

For a small city, Columbus has a lot to offer. The Ohio state capital, Columbus is situated almost exactly in center of the state. The city is home to several notable buildings, including Ohio State University; Ohio Stadium, Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, The Ohio Statehouse and Capitol Square. The Franklin Conservatory and Botanical Garden offers an incredible horticultural display with many acres of breathtaking outdoor and indoor gardens. The Topiary Park is where art and nature truly collide and this makes it one of the most acclaimed parks in country. The eclectic mix of neighborhoods only adds to the creative and vibrant culture in Columbus.

"High Banks Park & Shale Hollow Creek were Great!"
Score 5.0 / 5

We loved the town of Worthington. We found a wonderful nature park with a great nature center and walking paths called High Banks Park. The hotel is close to a few shopping centers and eating establishments and a movie theater. We found an adorable cafe called Kitty Bubble that had a room you could make reservations to pet cats. The drinks were fantastic, not too expensive and the decor was off the charts cute. The downtown district of Worthington is a pleasure to walk through and has several restaurants we wished we could have had time to visit especially the French Bistro & Bakery. Nearby Shale Hollow Creek was a fun surprise. Great walking paths, beautiful views and the rock formations were reallly cool. We enjoyed a couple of hours there exploring the creek and trails. All in all we had a great time. We had an event at the Convention Center and it was not too far away and we found parking easily.
