Columbus is THE place to be during Experience Columbus Days, Oct. 9-12.

With school back in session and many tightening their spending and travel plans, the sixth annual Experience Columbus Days, October 9-12, aims to get people out to explore Ohio's capital city and all that makes it uniquely Columbus. Partnering with area attractions and Dine Originals Columbus, a group of 40 independently owned and operated restaurants, Experience Columbus Days will offer patrons 50% off admission to top area attractions and 25% off food bills to unique Columbus eateries.

Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to visit www.ExperienceColumbusDays.com anytime between now and October 12 to download two flyers, one for attractions and the other for Dine Originals Columbus member restaurants. Upon arrival at a participating attraction or restaurant, simply show a printed flyer or display it on your mobile device to receive:

• 50% off admission when you present the attractions flyer at 14 of the city's best attractions including the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, the Wilds, COSI, CATCO's performance of "Murderers," the Columbus Italian Festival, SegAway Tours of Columbus and more.

• 25% off the total food bill (excluding beverages) for up to two people, when you present the restaurant flyer at all 40 Dine Originals Columbus member restaurants, including new members Cotters, DeepWood, Mezzo Italian Kitchen, Tasi Café and Banana Bean Café.

"Now in its sixth year, Experience Columbus Days encourages locals to see Columbus the way visitors do and entices out-of-town visitors to experience the city," said Paul Astleford, president and CEO of Experience Columbus. "We aim to make the program even easier to participate in this year through the mobile device policy and hope it entices residents and visitors alike will experience something new or re-visit a favorite spot they have not been to in a while."
