Insider tip Heads up toddler 📍 Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
Can be overstimulating and crowded at night; toddlers may be stuck in strollers, making it less ideal than the gardens.
“The zoo was a bit overstimulating at night because it's over crowded and they were locked in the stroller the whole time.”
