Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) is about 17 miles from the central business area of the city, also known as "The Loop." If coming in from The Loop, take the CTA. For those coming from downtown Chicago, the Metra Rail is a more convenient option.

Flight times are usually 45 minutes to Port Columbus International (CMH) Airport. The easiest way to most of the places within Columbus is to take the COTA bus service. Rental cars, taxis and shuttles are also available.

Attractions and tips

For a look at some modern architecture, visit the Easton Town Center. Here you can enjoy places like Louis Bar as well as lots of opportunity for shopping.

If it is college football season, Ohio Stadium, home of the Buckeyes, is the place to be! However, if you are interested in more of an educational experience, make a stop at The Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.

Expect May through to September to be consistently warm with temperatures in the 70s and 80s. In October, the temperatures begin to drop until January, when the temperatures are the lowest all year. Spring begins the process of warming up again. While winter requires warm clothing, a light jacket is enough for the spring, summer and fall.
