When you think of Columbus, Ohio, there’s usually a standard image in mind: folks in red and grey face paint screaming their heads off at an Ohio State Buckeyes game. The Buckeyes stadium is the third largest in the country, and the fans are at the top of the list of die-hard enthusiasts.

But this town is full of other enthusiasts as well. In fact, you might be surprised how many types of fanatics you’ll find on your trip. Don’t get left behind! Snap up last-minute hotels in Columbus, Ohio and dive in.

  • Home Run, Baby!: This might be a football town, but if you follow the roars of the crowd to Huntington Park, you’ll discover a thriving minor league baseball scene. Bring the kids with you for roasted peanuts and hot dogs as you cheer on the team. The Columbus Clippers have won a half dozen titles in the past decade and are well-known for crowd participation.

  • Hello, Ms. Pac-Man: If you remember the days of playing nonstop video games, you’ll find the same enthusiasm alive and well in Columbus. 16-Bit Bar + Arcade is a top spot for old-school game fanatics. Play a few rounds of classic Donkey Kong, Street Fighter, and Frogger, and type your name on the top of the high-score list. Just book one of those nearby hotels in downtown Columbus, Ohio, after enjoying some celebratory drinks. And we expect many, many drinks after you crush Bob’s old score (sorry, Bob).

  • Theater Geeks: Theater geeks know a little something they’re not telling their friends in NYC: Columbus has an inspiring theater scene. To name a few, there’s the Ohio Theatre, which is one of the grandest gold-dipped spaces you’ll see in town. There’s the Palace Theatre, which puts on everything from musicals to ballet. And there’s Southern Theatre, which was built in 1896 and still puts on opera and musicals.

  • Book Nerds: Book nerds are no joke. You’ll often find them lined up at author events for hours, whipping out Sharpie pens like swords, and snatching up the newest novel of their favorite series.
