neighborhoods that entertain Short North Arts District

Arena District

Head north on High Street from the Arena District and you’ll land in this creative neighborhood filled with art galleries, boutiques and hip restaurants and bars. The neighborhood’s alternative roots show every July 4 when the DooDah Parade marches down High Street. Another great time to visit is the first Saturday of every month for Gallery Hop, when galleries and stores stay open late and entertainers line the streets.

True to its name, this is the spot for sports action, including the minor league Clippers baseball team at Huntington Park and the pro hockey Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena. But entertainment doesn’t stop there. There’s also popular indoor-outdoor music venue Lifestyles Communities Pavilion, and a splattering of casual restaurants and bars.

German Village Located just south of downtown, the historic brick homes and streets of German Village make it not just one of the city’s most charming neighborhoods, but a local favorite, too. So it’s no surprise you’ll find great restaurants, shops and bars nestled throughout.

Clintonville Just south of Worthington, this popular neighborhood has attractions from the Park of Roses to the many independently owned retail shops and restaurants that line High Street. During warmer months, people flock to the Clintonville Farmers Market to get fresh produce and to the Olentangy River recreational trail, along the river to hike and bike.

shadowbox live

explore the brewery district  Just a block from German Village, the Brewery District is home to the nation’s largest theater troupe, shadowbox live, which thrills audiences with its original sketch comedy and live music. Stop for locally produced microbrews at the columbus brewing company restaurant or choose from hundreds of varieties at world of beer.

Come to see the polar bears and artic fox at Polar Frontier, touch a stingray at Stingray Bay and get up close to hundreds of other exotic wildlife.

wildlife fix, head two hours east to the zoo’s sister park, the Wilds, located on 10,000 acres of reclaimed mine land in Cumberland.
