Day At The Museum

It's hard to think about being indoors on a day like today, but if you need a break from the sun, the Columbus Museum of Art is a great place to take the kids, especially on Sunday. Free admission for all today, and lots to do. In addition to the regular exhibits, there's always something happening in the kids' area, such as art projects, music, or other activities, often led by current CCAD students. Staff is very family-friendly as well, so it's a great way to introduce kids to fine art! (My son is very interested in the Mummies exhibit as well).

Ring Your Bells!

Today the kids & I are headed downtown to the new Huntington Bank Ballpark to watch the Clippers game. While tickets are pretty inexpensive, I prefer to watch the game for free...there's plenty of room to watch the game from the sidewalk beyond the right field fence. It's never been crowded whenver I've been there, and it's a great alternative when you've got a couple of kids in tow who won't sit still for nine innings.
Today's game starts at a kid-friendly 11:35am, and most night games start at 6:35pm, which means they're usally done by 9. And, if you can find a meter space (or free street parking), you can save $3 more!

Welcome to Columbus Cheapskate!

The purpose of this blog is to highlight free (or really cheap) activities in the Columbus, Ohio area. I'm a stay-at-home Dad of two kids under 5, so selections will be family-friendly and kid-centric.
