Some days you long to stretch your legs, other days you long to stretch your thinking. Here’s where to find interesting, challenging, and thought-provoking civic, cultural, and literary activities that are good for your mental and mind health.
Best Snow-Day Activities in Downtown Columbus
How to spend a snowy day – without building another snowman.
Snow, glorious snow. It has its merits: school closings, hot chocolate, and winter woolies. It has its drawbacks too: boredom, restless kids, and snowmen – lots of snowmen.

So, when you’ve been-there, done-that with the snowperson thing, check the weather forecast, check your mood, and check this list for 10 ways to while away a winter’s day.
