Tossed some coins into the Koi fountains and then ended up at the Creme DE Le creme.... the fountain splash park! 
Why did they never have stuff like this when WE were kids?!!? 
I loved that they had the little fountains for the younger ones, saw ALOT of babies sitting next to the little streams of water and smiling and laughing and have the best time! 
Then there's the BIG water fun! Kids were running and sitting and frolicking... yes actual frolicking through the splash park! I loved that they had Columbus Parks & Rec staff IN the fountain area and they were helping kids. My youngest fell and got hurt but was on the opposite side of the fountains so I didn't see or hear him (the water is VERY loud)and then one of the staff helped him find me, and then offered to get a band aid or ice.
Here's a 360 video of the splash park....
What the video did not capture was the cute little Bistro that's right next to the fountains. It's a little pricey; Sandwiches $9 and pizza's $12 but you pay for the Location location location. I think it'd be a nice little spot for a lunch date or to bring the kids and meet Mom/Dad for lunch on a work day. They had public restrooms that were very clean and ample seating area. There were picnic tables and huge shade trees just screaming for a picnic lunch to be had underneath.
They've got concerts, kids activities, & movie's scheduled for the rest of the summer, I can't wait to see what they have this fall as well! We parked on the street at a meter, but that was pure luck!
Free kids activities every Wednesday 11:30-1:30 with free ice cream!
Directions:
Right across the river from COSI, Take Broad street and turn south on Civic Center Drive. You'll see what they refer to as the promenade... the splash park is located in Bicentennial Park which is on Civic Center Drive between Rich & Main Street.

The farm was built in 1856 and it's as if it's been frozen in time! They work the farm and care for the animals 365 days a year (Except for Monday's ) It's amazing to see how they plant, harvest, cook, preserve and clean up! We got to see a cake they'd made out in the summer kitchen (Smelled so yummy) in this stove
The kids can touch and play with alot of the things on the farm so here they are using a corn mill! 
We got to see them move hay/straw up into the hay loft with a horse and an elaborate pulley system.
There are tons of farm animals that the kids can pet and they also really loved the water pump! Somehow water tastes so much better when you pump it yourself! There are toys that kids would have played with and a swing on the side of the house that just has to be swung in for a bit! and if the sun gets to be too much you can go sit a spell under the wisteria covered porch! (I have no idea if it's really wisteria) but it's beautiful!
