Columbus, Ohio, the modern city that is the capital of Ohio, is rapidly earning a reputation as capital of technology. Columbus is the main location base for over 150 technological companies. Some of these companies are large corporations that have additional smaller regional companies throughout North America.

The COSI Columbus, a science center and learning institute for the sciences, draws a huge number of tourists each year. Columbus offers many things to see and do; enough to keep you busy for a long weekend or even for a week long vacation in the summer.

For those of you interested in politics you'll want to visit Capital Square and partake in one of the many tours that are offered. If politics bore you, you can take a stroll through an old German neighborhood known as the German Village. Stop for a German beer at the local bar on your way back to your hotel.

You can spend a day at Wyandot Lake Adventure Park in the city of Powell, on the outside of Columbus. This won't disappoint you if you are an adventure buff looking for adventure in Columbus. Your time can be spent at the pool park or riding the waves in the wave pool.

One of the frequently overlooked attractions of Columbus is the Southern Theater, which was started in 1896. This theater has a rich history with many tales to tell. It was part of a large restoration effort to return the theater to its earlier grandeur; it is treated with loving care since it's such an integral part of the history in Columbus.
