Commons for Kids - Games & Sports

Bring your children to Columbus Commons for a morning of free activities celebrating games and sports. This event, presented by Nationwide Children's Hospital, features a variety of hands-on experiences throughout the summer. Your kids can enjoy face painting and balloon twisting, bounce around inflatable obstacle courses and slides, try their hand at crafts with local art organizations, and play classic lawn games. Carousel rides are also available, weather permitting. The program runs Friday mornings from June through mid-August (with a couple dates off for holidays), so there are multiple opportunities to join in. Everything is completely free, making it an easy way to spend a couple hours downtown with the whole family. Activities are led by community partners, so your children will be learning and playing with local organizations. It's a great option if you're looking for something low-cost and engaging during the summer months.
