A charter bus ride north of the Greater Columbus Convention Center is the Short North Arts District, an arts, dining and shopping district full of independent galleries, unusual shops, restaurants and cafes. On the first Saturday of each month, the district hosts a gallery hop during the evening hours. Starting at 4 p.m. and lasting well into the night, Ohio charter bus visitors can stroll through the streets and visit the galleries to view works by local and international artists. Performers, including musicians, dance companies and singers put on impromptu performances on the sidewalks and street corners, creating a festive atmosphere. The Gallery Hop is not the only weekend event in the district. The North Market hosts a local farmer's market every Saturday morning and an artisan's market with handcrafted goods Sundays.

Franklin Park is one of Columbus' many outdoor green spaces, and home to the Franklin Park Conservatory. The Conservatory, built in 1895, showcases exotic plants as well as more than a dozen glass sculpture installations from renowned artist Dale Chihuly. While a stroll through the horticultural exhibits and garden spaces of the park and conservatory is entertaining on its own, the Conservatory also offers a variety of educational events. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturdays, charter bus visitors can attend Family Fun workshops where kids can make crafts designed around the day's theme. Also, throughout the spring and summer months, each afternoon charter bus guests at the Conservatory can participate in a live butterfly release in the Pollinator's Garden. There is an admission fee for the Conservatory, but kids younger than 2 are free.

Columbus has dozens of parks and outdoor areas, with miles of trails ideal for walking and biking. Spend a weekend on your charter bus visit exploring some of the parks, most of which are free and open all year round. For example, the Topiary Park, across the street from the Columbus Museum of Art, is a recreation of Georges Suerrat's legendary painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grand Jatte" in topiary.
