There are many attractions throughout the Greater Columbus, providing fun for the whole family. So, here are just a few. Leisure and learning collide at COSI Columbus, where hands-on science lets visitors' imaginations run wild, whether it's an exhibition about pop culture icons such as Star Wars or Bob the Builder, or the science of genetics.

The city's latest (and still growing) hotspot is the Arena District, home of fine entertainment, dining and sports. Few places offer the opportunity to catch dinner, a movie and a NHL hockey or arena football game at Nationwide Arena all in one night.

Just north of downtown is the renowned Short North Arts District, where visitors and residents alike can wander the district's many galleries and eateries, under beautifully and festively lit arches. The monthly Gallery Hop provides the opportunity to sample it all on the first Saturday of the month.

The nationally renowned Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has Columbus' "other wildlife," hosting more than 2.5 million visitors a year. The zoo features naturalistic wildlife habitats, picnic areas, gardens and other recreational facilities. The recently opened Asia Quest exhibit and the upcoming Zoombezi Bay water park (opening summer 2008) are must-see stops along the way.
