Go Zip-Lining
Anyone in an adventurous mood will enjoy an afternoon of heart-thumping zip-lining at ZipZone Outdoor Adventures. In a beautiful green area in the north of town, you can ascend to the forest roof for a full canopy zip-lining tour with friendly, professional zip-lining guides showing you the ropes and keeping you safe.
Along with their extremely popular zip-line tours, they have an adventure park with five different treetop obstacle courses that have sixty challenges in all, suitable for most ages. Younger kids aged four to seven can have a whale of a time at the easier Kids Park course. Find ZipZone Outdoor Adventures at 7925 North High Street.
Visit the Zoo
Columbus has a world-class zoo and aquarium. If you haven’t been there yet, consider spending the day exploring this clean and well-laid-out zoo, marveling at wonderful animals such as lions, elephants, bonobos, bald eagles, bears, manatees, gorillas, Tasmanian devils, and many, many more.
The zoo has eight clearly mapped and easy-to-navigate sections in all, promising a full day of exploration if you want to see everything. You have the Adventure Cove, Asia Quest, Heart of Africa, Congo Expedition, Polar Frontier, Australia and Islands, and Shores and Aquarium areas. There’s a hands-on tide pool, a reptile house, and even a kangaroo walkabout. Visit Columbus Zoo at 4850 West Powell Road.
Enjoy a Pedal-Bike Tour
An original and memorable way to see the city with friends or coworkers is with Pedal Wagon Columbus, where you and the other tour members all sit around the table of a pedal-powered bike car and pedal to keep the wheels and vehicle moving. You can go on various well-planned cruises around fun parts of the city, including the Brewery Cruise, the Explore Eastern Tour, and the Northern Cap City Crawl.
It’s a really fun way to celebrate a birthday or team-building event, and it gets you outside to see the city from a unique perspective. You can rent your pedal bike at 848 North Pearl Street.
