I can’t believe that I am already thinking of where to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your kids in Columbus. How is already the end of January? Surely time can slow down at any point. While Valentine’s Day is February 14th, Columbus businesses believe in celebrating all month long and I have to say, I agree!
This is the start of a list that will be ever-growing, so make sure to check back. I wanted to get it out early because some things require tickets and will sell out!
