The Commons — Attraction in Columbus

We drive half an hour to let our kids play here on occasion. It's a great playground in general for all ages, but the indoors aspect is why we always try to come on rainy or cold days. There's a Subway and Orange Leaf next to the sitting area, but since the playground is downtown there are a lot of options nearby. We like to eat at Zarahakos across the street and play afterwards.

It can get busy at times, which makes it hard to keep track of your kids if you have multiple. There are several places where you cannot always see your child if in the sitting area. With 3 sets of doors, it makes me nervous if I am by myself on a busy day.

Also, kids wear their shoes here so it can get dirty for that reason.

There is a lot of opportunity here for kids to get their energy out. We've always​ been here in the evenings and find many families here. I find this place a great place to bring kids, especially in the...

The museum seems to be geared more toward older kids (4-12) than toddlers. not a complaint just a heads up. we took our toddler (one and a half) and he still had plenty to see and do and they even offer a small corner for toddlers. I do think, however, it would’ve been more enjoyable for him had he been a bit older.

The play area across the street is a different story. We absolutely love the indoor playground and it’s so nice that it’s free to the public! There are little food and drink places as well that are super convenient for grabbing a little snack. I will say, since it’s free to the public, sometimes there’s some shenanigans from rowdy kids that you have to deal with but other than that it’s such a great gift to...
