GUIDED PASSENGER TOUR
Classic route: approximately four hours, including one 40-minute meal stop. Start downtown and finish on the Ohio State campus. Timing is a planning allowance, not live navigation; hotel pickup and return are additional.

0:00–0:10 Welcome and band-history audio while safely parked at pickup.
0:10–0:20 Columbus Athenaeum exterior.
0:20–0:30 Transfer to Arena District and park.
0:30–1:10 Nationwide Arena, The Basement, and KEMBA Live exteriors; one parking session and short walks if suitable for the group.
1:10–1:20 Transfer to Short North and park.
1:20–1:45 Big Fun story and browsing.
1:45–1:55 Transfer to Newport area.
1:55–2:10 Newport marquee and breakthrough story.
2:10–2:20 Transfer north on High Street.
2:20–2:30 Hounddog’s story and brief exterior stop.
2:30–2:35 Transfer to Lavash.
2:35–3:15 Lavash story and meal.
3:15–3:30 Transfer to campus.
3:30–3:40 Schottenstein Center exterior.
3:40–3:45 Transfer to Ohio Stadium.
3:45–4:00 Ohio Stadium exterior and closing story.

Shorter option: approximately 2.5–3 hours. Omit the Schottenstein stop, make Lavash an exterior photo stop, allow 15 minutes at Big Fun, and condense the Arena District exteriors. Keep Newport, Hounddog’s, KEMBA, and Ohio Stadium stories. If dining at Hounddog’s instead, move the 40-minute meal allowance there and make Lavash a 10-minute exterior stop; allow a few extra minutes overall.

Optional longer editions: Powell zoo excursion (60–90 additional minutes only for a brief prearranged event-area visit; a general zoo visit takes much longer); Galena market extension (75–105 additional minutes); Polaris and school-history edition (60–90 additional minutes for Polaris, plus school arrangements). These estimates are separate options, not a promise that all fit into one extra hour. No school campus entry or residential stops are included.

Host preparation: Verify current opening hours, meal seating, event traffic, parking, walking distances, accessibility, and passenger loading for the chosen vehicle. Agree pickup and return before quoting duration or price. Use the band-history audio at pickup and shorter location chapters at the stops; do not replay repeated stories unless requested. Tell the school and childhood-home stories onboard. There are no reserved visits or admissions in this draft. Prices have not been set.
