A lot of museums, zoos, and the like have programs where a group spends the night within the facility. Here, both the Center for Science and Industry and the Columbus Zoo are very popular with scout and school groups. The zoo incorporates a part of their Education Center building for "Indoor Camping" and COSI has a "convertible" lecture hall. The Ohio Decorative Arts Center also has a weekend program for young artists where they "indoor camp."
