More Metroparks Notes

I took the kids to Inniswood MetroGarden in Westerville today, and couldn't believe the crowd! The parking lot was full, and the 200+ people at the park were there for the "Children's Garden Art" program. The program, which will repeat this week on Wednesday & Friday at 10a, featured a bunch of different art projects for kids, including garden stuff, crafts, etc...I recommend checking it out, especially because Inniswood is a great park with a "boardwalk" walking trail through the woods (great for us stroller-pushers), a water-play area, and a real treehouse. I like the water area, but the treehouse is a bit high-up for my taste.

Columbus Arts Fest: One More Day!

Tomorrow (Sunday) is the last day for the Columbus Arts Festival downtown. I was down there with the kids on Friday, and we had a lot of fun. Plenty of activities for the little ones, live music, food (we had free ice cream, you might not be so lucky!), and all-around interesting stuff. There are paintings, sculpture, woodwork, photography, and other artistic methods I can't remember right now on display. Plus, don't forget that the Columbus Museum of Art is free on Sundays, and CCAD has some student exhibits as well. Parking is $5, but you can get a meter (free on Sunday) if you work at it. I can furnish parallel parking tutorials at a small fee.
