Gibsonk Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 My wife and I are going to the Nationals for the first time. We plan on leaving Toronto on Wed morning and getting to the Hyatt around 6 that night. What I would like to know is what would be better for me? Do the registration deal for the show or just pay for the 4 days pass? I am not entering anything in the show. I see that there is not really much for the wives to do, so are the malls very far from the hotel and what about restaurants nearby? Thanks For your Help See You There Jim Knight IPMS Canada Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkwan Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Registration is only for entering models in the contest unless you just want to enter to get the "packet" and decals. Unless you want the packet and decals or want to donate to the cause, I would recommend just doing the walk in passes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Recon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 There are alot of resturants by the hotel. Go to "Experience Columbus" and look under the "arena" district I believe. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jholt Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Since you are driving you have an advantage. you can get to anywhere in and around Columbus in 40 minutes or less. The malls are about 15 to 30 minutes away. Both Polaris and Easton have a huge great selection of restaurants as well. the short north has lots of places to eat within walking distance from the hotel. Also you may want to check out North market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metroman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 How long a drive are the outlets at Jeffersonville from the Hyatt, jholt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CMHGraham Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 How long a drive are the outlets at Jeffersonville from the Hyatt, jholt? The Outlet Mall at Jeffersonville is about 40 miles south on I-71, so about 45mins from the Hyatt parking lot. Graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
