Blooming enthusiasts visit the Franklin Park Conservatory. Visitors of all ages grow happy with the sights, scents, and attractions in bloom across the 88-acre botanical garden in downtown Columbus. Fertilize your botanical interest when you wander through exotic plant collections, special horticultural exhibits, and attend educational work shops.

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.

There's Much Ado About Nothing going on at the Actors' Theater of Columbus. The theater sets the stage as the city's premier Shakespeare-producing public theater, hosting productions of works from Amadeus to A Mid Summer Night's Dream for over 30 seasons in the capital city's historic Schiller Park.
