One of the best FREE outdoor activities for kids in Central Ohio is the Lolli-Pops! summer children’s concert series in Powell.
If you haven’t heard of it before, Lolli-Pops is an event that happens at Village Park Green in Powell, and the best part is that it’s completely FREE! Yes, you read that right – it won’t cost you a penny. As an added bonus, they usually have some cool vendors on-site, and a splash pad for everyone to enjoy.
All you need to bring is a blanket, swimwear, and your dancing shoes (although who needs shoes when it’s summer, right?). The concerts are super interactive, and the kids will have a blast. It’s a fantastic way to spend a morning, and we’re sure you’ll love it!
