Spring Break in Columbus

A Spring Break in Columbus? Yes!

This spring, break up with overpriced flights, overpacked beaches and overhyped itineraries and fall in love with the city's endless opportunities. After all, there's a reason Columbus received quite the spotlight in Netflix's Love is Blind Season 10.

With family-friendly exhibitions at our world-class attractions, cherry blossoms that rival the coasts and a nationally-recognized food scene, there's never been a better time to plan your trip.

Spring in the Arena District

As the home to the Columbus' four professional sports teams—the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets , the MiLB Columbus Clippers, the MLS Columbus Crew and the MLV Columbus Fury, the Arena District is truly the city’s sports hub. Beyond athletics, you can find the 5,200-seat KEMBA Live! concert venue in the Arena District, as well as the North Market, the 150 year-old vibrant public market 150. Whether you're catching a show, the game or perhaps taking a walk in the district's Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area, there's so much to explore in the Arena District this spring.
