This is a great place to take your family or just have a night out. We played laser tag, video games, and had something to eat. Also have played trivia there with our family and our grown son's birthday party was held there.Food was very good. Lots to do besides bowling and they have happy hour too.

This museum is one of those hidden gems that you’ll always remember. It was built by a very dedicated collector who collected and preserved TVs and video equipment before it was scraped. The amount he collected and the ingenuity it represents is truly amazing. Since starting this collection the museum has become a Mecca for TV collectors, hosting a yearly convention. It has also taken on the task of rebuilding picture tubes to keep older sets running! The museum itself is well organized with many operating sets. Just push the button, wait a minute for the set to warm up and you’ll see an old time video. Tours are self guided with each display well labeled. They are many unique aspects to see. I especially enjoyed the extensive mechanical TV set collections both in black and white and color.

This park is one of my summertime favorites with the grandchildren. They’ve got all kinds of tunnels and water features. Although there are roads running through the park, drivers are careful and the area is well designated for walkers.

Homestead Metro Park in Hilliard is a relatively small park compared to other Metro Parks in Columbus. What it lacks in size, it makes up with lovely displays of the history of the area. Refurbished / relocated historical buildings from the railroad period make for an informative visit to the park. There is a caboose, a railway ticket booth, and a travelers waiting area. Children will especially enjoy this park. In addition, the other main features are the about a mile-long walking trail, and a lovely lake. On the west side of the park runs the beautiful Heritage Trail (about six-mile long), which is great for walking, running, biking. Homestead Metro Park is a very popular park as I could observe from the several people visiting the park even in the middle of December. Certainly, make a stop here if you are in the area.

My husband and I have stopped in for early dinners recently . The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu ( have given us great advice about soups). We love sitting by the fireplace on chilly days.
