A Day at Franklin Park Conservatory: Family Fun, Local Beauty, and a Reminder of Why We Love Living in Columbus

One of the things I love most about living in Columbus, Ohio is how effortlessly nature, community, and lifestyle come together, and few places showcase that better than Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

We recently spent the day exploring this iconic local gem, and it was the perfect reminder of what makes Central Ohio living so special.

Time to Explore: The Children’s Garden

If you’re looking for fun, educational outdoor spaces for little ones (or just young-at-heart adventurers), the Children’s Garden at Franklin Park is a must-visit. With interactive water features, hidden paths, a canopy walk, and plenty of natural play zones, it’s an immersive experience that sparks imagination and exploration.

The garden is designed for all ages, offering peaceful places to unwind, reflect, or just take it all in. It’s the kind of community feature that makes living nearby feel extra special.

It’s More Than a Garden—It’s a Lifestyle

As a Columbus Realtor, I often say that buying a home isn’t just about square footage or schools (though those matter too!). It’s also about what’s beyond your doorstep. Access to vibrant public spaces like Franklin Park Conservatory adds real value to daily life. Whether it's a weekend outing, a peaceful solo stroll, or a creative date idea, having places like this nearby is a gift.
