will be going to Columbus for a few days in the near future - probably will be around Polaris for a day, and Dublin,
Where are good areas to stay (as far as Hotels), and also what areas to avoid? Is downtown decent? Same as far as looking around & seeing the sites- what areas should we avoid? going with the family, w/kids.. Thnx for any info..

Stay on the north side... for the higher end hotels... like one said stay away from Easton at night... in that case stay away from the east side period at night... if you look at a road map of Columbus 270 what we call toilet bowl.. it's like the deeper you go in the more shit there is.. as for Downtown at night it is not the place for kids and family nothing really down there.. but the arena district is very nice for the big over 21 kids...
COSI l Columbus Zoo If you are into Harley's AD farrows has big store at Polaris Delaware state park it just up the road on rt23 |

The Columbus Zoo is really nice and Zoombeezie Bay (waterpark) is next door. Both are near Dublin.
This weekend Dublin is putting on the Dublin Irish Festival, which is a pretty cool event. You could also tour Ohio State Campus. Even if you aren't a fan of the team/ school, it's a neat place to visit. The Shoe is quite a sight. |

For some cheap fun with the kids, visit the Emerald Fields playground in Dublin.
http://www.dublin.oh.us/recreation/parks/emeraldfields.php It's a little hard to find but a great park. And it's just a couple miles south of the intersection of the Sawmill Parkway and Powell Road (State Route 750), which is an area with lots of good places to eat. |
