Recreation & Points of Interest

From the outdoors to the indoors, Central Ohio has so much to offer.  From hiking to biking, to kayaking and canoeing, there’s something for everyone.  Rediscover your inner child at the internationally acclaimed Columbus Zoo and Aquarium as you watch the gentle giants, the manatees, float through their Ohio home and even feed the giraffes at the edge of their habitat.  Picnic in the beautiful Japanese Gardens at Dawes Arboretum and explore the ancient Indian mounds and learn about their unique history.  Be amazed at the beauty of the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and watch hundreds of colorful butterflies take flight around you.  Go on an African safari in Ohio at The Wilds or take a zip line adventure there – or just north of Columbus at the ZipZone.  Explore the many, special treasures that await you within just 60-minutes or less of The Inn.

“Over the years, we have traveled near and far, staying in a variety of lodgings, but The Welsh Hills Inn is at the very top of our list. It simply has it all. Jeff and Bobbi are lovely, friendly hosts who turn inside out to make our stays relaxing and memorable. It’s their personal touch that makes the difference. From Jeff’s gourmet breakfasts served on the veranda overlooking their lovely country setting, to Bobbi’s attention-to-detail, every day is special. There are always refreshments close at hand, wine and cheese at cocktail hour, the marvelous pool and spa, hiking trails – and that’s just the short list! And their sweet dogs, Ellie and Wrigley, are a delight. We’re already planning our next visit!”
