O.K. a couple of Updates for everyone.
Here is a link to the Columbus zoo and aquarium home page:

I have placed inquiries about both the shelterhouse and the behind the scenes tour of the aquarium. I should have an answer shortly.
I'm not sure if I outlined a general schedule yet but here is what I'm thinking:
picnic from 11:30- roughly 2:30 at the zoo shelter house, group tour of aquarium starting around2:30 or 3:00 in the afternoon.
Aside from that, I think it will be better to not set any particular schedule. People can come and go as they please. visit the waterpark, and or the zoo as they please and shift to other activities when they want. As soon as I have confirmation, I'll set up for group ticket arrangements, and post a link. Everyone will be responsible for getting their own tickets, but if you need help with arangements feel free to contact me via PM, or the above travel agent. This will definately be the 22nd of July 2006.
I might suggest that someone Set up a singles get together for that evening. But that is entirely up to those interested in the party scene.
If anyone thinks it would be good to set up a special group tour for younger children let me know. the Zoo does a lot of educational type tours (Duh) They also have a mussel conervation exibit that gives some insight to why mussels are protected, and how many different species are endangered, prevalent, etc. I plan to incorporate the mussel information into our tour if they will do so.
