First, take a walk through the original landscaped park in downtown Columbus, Topiary Park. It's a cozy green park with many sculptures. You'll see 54 life-size sculptures of people, 8 boats, and various animals. The sculptures are made in the style of impressionism by the author James T. Mason. What makes the park unique is that all of these sculptures and plants recreate a single large-scale painting - "Sunday afternoon on Grande Jatte Island" by Georges-Pierre Serre, a French painter.
The park is open daily from 7.00-23.00

You've arrived in downtown Columbus, Downtown, to its central Capitol square. Have a walk along the square around the Ohio State House and see the monuments. Marvel at the beauty of the Ohio Statehouse, a majestic Renaissance building. It was opened in 1857, after 18 years of construction.

Have a promenade along the Scioto River. The beautifully manicured promenade will take you to a bridge that will take you to the next amazing Columbus location.

The most unique attraction in Columbus, which opened in 2018. The massive National Veterans Memorial and Museum. The museum features photos and memorabilia of the nation's veterans.
The main interest is the building itself - its circular shape, 300 feet in diameter, the minimalist interior, the mezzanine windows with vertical stripes reminiscent of military ribbons. And the main feature is the museum's green-grass-covered roof. You can walk on it and enjoy a stunning view of all of downtown Columbus.
The museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wed through Sat. Fri and Sat. You need a mask to visit.
