Fall Activities in Central Ohio

Fall is here!!!! That means pumpkin spice and everything nice, sweaters, cuddling under blankets, and bonfires! But what else can you do to get into the fall spirit? There is no shortage of seasonal activities to explore in Central Ohio. Here are some of our favorites!

Visit a Pumpkin Patch

There is more to do at your local pumpkin patches than just pumpkin picking. Corn mazes, hay rides, and face painting are all everyday events at pumpkin patches! 

Take a Hike 

Central Ohio has 19 Metro Parks with over 230 miles of trails! From easy strolls to demanding hikes, adventure is waiting. Take in the crisp scent of autumn, crunch the leaves, and find joy in being outside as you embrace the spirit of fall!

Explore the Columbus Zoo 

Fall is a great time to visit the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. The weather isn’t too hot or too cold, so a walk around the zoo will be a delight, and plenty of animals will be out enjoying the reprieve from the heat. But there is more to see than the animals! Check out their full list of special events happening this season!

Go on a Scavenger Hunt 

 Looking for a unique and fun activity to try? What about a scavenger hunt? Explore landmarks and hidden gems in downtown Columbus during this walking tour/scavenger hunt. This activity is suitable for up to 10 people in a group and lasts about 2 hours.

Visit COSI 

This science-focused museum is the only place in Central Ohio where you can immerse yourself in the world of dinosaurs, ride a unicycle across a tightrope, and step into a street scene from 120 years ago. If that wasn’t enough, they have a new exhibit opening this fall that is not to be missed: Barbie You Can Be Anything: The Experience.
