Don’t forget, you still have a chance to arrange a cheap vacation/staycation for you family to Columbus, Ohio! The Dublin Convention & Visitors Bureau is offering a “Kids Eat FREE Columbus Zoo/Zoombezi Bay Getaway”, available from May 28 – September 6, 2010.
This unique vacation getaway allows you to build a vacation package to suit your family and stay within your budget. Save up to 15% off Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay Waterpark passes, get great rates at a choice of 10 Dublin hotels, and free kids meal coupons to your choice of six different restaurants! Each child will receive two “Free Kids Meal” certificates for a one night stay and a total of four “Free Kids Meal” certificates for a two or more night stay. All packages receive a free kids ice cream cone at Graeter’s Ice Cream. Most hotels even include free breakfast, free shuttle to the Zoo and a gift for the kids. Questions? Call 800/245-8387 to learn more.
In a quick look around the Getaway Package Page, I found hotels as low as $57/night! You’ll want to book soon because some hotels have already sold out of the rate package for various dates. There are plenty of additional free or cheap family events and festivals going on around Columbus through the summer. Search the calendar and categories on Columbus on the Cheap for more ideas while you’re visiting! Looking for more ideas for dining out with kids around Columbus? Kids Eat Out is a great local resource providing dining reviews and a compilation of “kids eat free” days at many Columbus restaurants.
