    Michele,

    These are great suggestions. You might also be interested in the Huntington Holiday Train that is currently on display at the Columbus Metropolitan Library (96 S. Grant Ave.). Here's a link with additional information http://www.columbuslibrary.org/ebranch/index.cf.... There is free one hour parking also.
