The Colonnade, sometimes stylized as the Colonade, held several exhibits and attractions at Olentangy Park starting in 1904. J. W. Zarro, a show-goods manufacturer from Cincinnati,[1] designed and built the original building and some of its exhibits. It was located east of the theater and offered refreshments and amusements.[2][3][4] A restaurant was built in the Colonnade's north end.[5] The building was torn down for the 1922 season.[6]

Sometimes the Midway was called a "new colonnade."[7]
