Three pretty simple ones to start off:

COSI (Hands-on, Science and Industry museum)
Ohio Historical Center
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Of course, there still is main campus of The Ohio State University.

Have to second the suggestion for COSI - probably one of the neatest places around for kids of that age. Take a look here. It can easily take up half a day...just depends on what else you'd like to do while you're in town.

Drive to over to Dayton. Visit the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Yes, it's ~75 miles, but I'm serious. If your kids are into aircraft, they'll be talking about the place for years. An amazing collection of aircraft. Ever seen a B-52 inside a museum? That's just one of what must be hundreds of aircraft on display.

Take them to Wright-Patteson AFB for the day. If they like malls, Easton is a pretty cool place, although it's not your typical mall. I'm old, how do I know what 7 & 9 year olds like these days?
