Grandview Avenue Stroll

Tour Length:  0.5 mile

Grandview Avenue has been a mecca for shopping, dining, and entertainment for over 100 years. The avenue spans Grandview Heights on  the south and the Fifth by Northwest neighborhood of Columbus on the north. A dance studio, candle-making laboratory, fish store, theater, and other unique establishments have resided on the avenue at some point. Elephants from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus annually trod down Grandview Avenue from the train tracks at the south end of Grandview Heights to their performance venue at Nationwide Arena. One Grandview Avenue building is even on the National Register of Historic Places! Enjoy this easy stroll before or after date night dining.
