Kadie the Cow
Historical landmark
👍👍 Just a giant cow statue and an empty parking lot. But it is fun to take pictures with it. The legend of Kadie the cow goes back for centuries, they say one day she will come to life and stomp the local businesses flat. Thanks for reading my review, hope you have a wonderful day.

👍👍 A cultural treasure in Columbus. The place is beautiful and definitely sticks out in this Bexley neighborhood. The place is in desperate need of some maintenance and repair with all the delicate carvings and structure. I looked for a donation box but could find one. I hope the caregivers consider a...

👍👍 Had a great Sunday lunch. Food and service were excellent. It was a beautiful and sunny day, so the garden/patio were so nice. We had a salmon BLT sandwich with a side balsamic salad (delish) and the second meal was a gourmet grilled cheese and fries (also 2 thumbs up). We will definitely be back,...

Jack Nicklaus Museum
Museum
👍👍 Looks small from the outside, but it’s packed with memorabilia, photos, tribute movies, fact sheets, so much! That Nicklaus fella was a pretty good golfer. You will read his stories, see his gear, and take in his life from beginning to nearly present day. It’s fascinating how much he and his family...
