Have you been to Columbus Commons? Downtown Columbus isn't always the first place you think of when trying to figure out where to go with the kids, but let me tell you, Columbus Commons has a lot in store for the summer and they haven't forgotten about your little ones! Here are a few things you may want to experience with them. And most of them are FREE! :)
Commons for Kids
Fridays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
May 31 – August 30 (Excluding August 9)
Free
From face-painting to story time, crafts to music, there is a ton of stuff going on Downtown at the Columbus Commons. Fridays, all summer long, they have put together a lineup of fun things for you and the kids.
“Friday mornings are all about kids at Columbus Commons. Commons for Kids kicks off with Columbus Metropolitan Library story time at 10:30 a.m., followed by fun and interactive children’s activities. Kids can enjoy the Reading Room, sponsored by Highlights for Children, use their creativity to build their own Imagination Playground, bounce on inflatables, and take a free spin on the carousel. The Columbus Metropolitan Library book mobile will also visit Columbus Commons from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.”
