What to Do this Weekend in Columbus
This weekend in Columbus, OH even the grown-up fun is all geared toward Halloween.
If you missed out on the opportunity to get some exercise at the Columbus Marathon last weekend, you can still get in a good 5K. Tomorrow at Flannagan’s in Dublin you can get in a great run through the picturesque city of Dublin, then dance the night away at the WNCI/Flannagan’s annual Halloween bash. The 10,000 Maroonicas (The Morning Zoo) will be there to entertain, and cap off the night with the annual WNCI Halloween Costume Contest.
If you’d like a chance to get the wits scared out of you, go to Cooper Stadium where Terror Park rocks the night. Terror Park is one of the biggest haunts in the area and has a little something for everyone. If you have the heart, take the official Terror Park tour, I just can’t promise you it will still be beating when you exit. If you’d like something a little milder, ask for the flashlight tour, where you get the full Terror Park experience, but without the scares. This is a great way to gently introduce new terror seekers to the haunted attraction experience. Terror Park also has a supervised area just for kids.
If you need something to interest the younger set, head up to Powell for the “Boo at the Zoo” and pumpkin smash. Kids are encouraged to dress in their best costumes and come out to see the animals at the Columbus Zoo. There will be treat stations, rides and lots of hands on activities for kids. On Saturday morning, you can experience the Pumpkin Smash and see what happens when zoo animals are presented with their very own Halloween pumpkins.
Of course, if you are heading out to Flannagan’s or any other adult venue this weekend remember–Columbus and her nightclubs want you back, happy and healthy and without a $6000 DUI (or worse) hanging over your head. If you are going to drink, don’t drive.
