Ohio is full of weird and wonderful things and Columbus is no exception. If you're in the mood to see some interesting roadside attractions, you've found the perfect list. Honestly, this kind of quirky charm is one of my favorite things about living here. I mean, where else can I see a giant L.L. Bean duck boot, a field of ceramic corn, and ancient petroglyphs all in one day?

Where To Have A Perfect Picnic In Columbus

🧺

By this time next week, the weather will be much more seasonally appropriate (aka colder and wetter) so if you want to make the absolute most of the sunshine, I highly recommend making time today or tomorrow for a little picnic. Even if it's just a small snack or a cup of coffee enjoyed in nature, you'd be surprised how much of an impact a picnic in the sun can have on your mental health.
