the commons

If you have little ones and you're on a budget, go here. This place is awesome. Even my 14 year old slightly enjoyed. Really awesome for ages 3 to 12. I would even set up a play date and drive from Indy for this place. On a nice day, you could go visit the park on the river when you're done. It's one of the best things Columbus has to offer for the kiddos.

My son really enjoyed playing here. It just feels a bit different from your usual playground. I wish I was seven again so I could climb the towers. Quite impressive to look at.

The Commons has art and a place for kids to play. I don't have kids, but I was curious to walk around inside and explore.

Though the Commons playground can be busy, it is big enough that quite a few kids can play without issue. There is a play area for the youngest ones, but of course good luck keeping a 1-2 year old playing where "they should." :) Not sure how often or how well the equipment is cleaned from a germ perspective, but the equipment itself seems to be in good repair and safe to play on. We go every few months with our now 15 mo old.

We didn't look around much, but didn't need to beyond the neat kids' place. The architecture & artwork was unique (as is the case in many Columbus stops), but the free indoor playground was a lot of fun for our children. They want to go back.

This was across the street from the Kids Commons Museum. Grandson's 2 & 4 seen the indoor playground from outside so we went in for a visit. ALOT of kids all in a small indoor play area. Some parents were not supervising their children and seen no employees around to keep kids under control. Only stayed about 15min.

Cant beat the price and the kids have fun running and playing! The food court is nice for a quick lunch....maybe have more places for the adults to sit.

The people are friendly. The architecture is some of the World's best. Don't miss the kids playground in the Commons and the old fashioned ice cream parlor across the street at Zaharakos.

This is a wonderful indoor playground for kids to play year round! The playground is free and lots of restaurants close by to dine that are kid friendly as well. The Commons is located in the heart of the downtown area with plenty of street parking and parking garages.

We take our kids here atleast once a month. The playground is awesome. They have a Subway and Snappy Tomato pizza in the playground area as well. It is very family oriented. The Chaos is neat to watch when it is running.

We came here to have some family time. We all enjoyed ourselves! we played at the playground then went to the children's museum, had lunch at an old ice cream parlor then went on a bike ride on the People Trail. It was a great day away.

It was a rainy day when we visited this with our children, they played for almost two hours while we sat and talked. Lots of fun and inexspensive. Afterwards we headed to an old vintage style soda shop across the way, it was awesome!!!!! I would highly recommend.

This downtown rebuild of an older "Commons" features an intriguing metal sculpture, "Chaos" with moving parts an a children's playgroud that they love. The 2nd floor has a large meeting/concert area that is a big plus over the old Commons.

You can take the kids here for a nice day to play, and grab a bite. They have meeting rooms also that are very nice.

I attended a wedding reception here. The building is very nice, clean, and interesting. Wonderful location for an event with nice views of the downtown area.
