And you’re only about 20 minutes away from the Village at Sandhills mall you’ll find a lot of the big box stores and chain restaurants.
Entertainment
Performances: The Koger Center, Township Auditorium, Trustus Theater, Town Theater, and Colonial Life Arena are great places to catch a play, musical, or concert. Traditional movie theaters that play the latest blockbusters are 10-20 minutes away, but located downtown is The Nickeloden which shows old classics and indie films.
Museums and Zoo: Columbia is home to the nationally recognized Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, as well as The South Carolina State Museum, Columbia Art Museum, and Edventure Children’s Museum.
Nightlife: If you’re looking for bars or clubs then check out the Vista and 5 Points areas.
Sporting Events: We are about 15 minutes from The University of South Carolina’s campus. In the fall enjoy a football game, or a Men’s or Women’s soccer game. In the winter check out a Men’s or Women’s basketball game. And in the spring catch a baseball or softball game. Plus, many other college athletic events, including track and field and equestrian! In the spring you can also head downtown to Segra Park, which is the home of the Columbia Fireflies, a minor league baseball team. After some of their home games they put on a great fireworks display.
Recreational
Columbia is unique in that 3 rivers run through our downtown. We have many waterfront parks that take advantage of this. These parks feature walking trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, and educational exhibits. During the warmer months, some of these parks have canoes, kayaks, and tubes available to rent.
About 40 minutes northwest is Lake Murray, a 50k-acre man-made lake. Depending on the time of year one can find a range of activities to enjoy on Lake Murray. From a leisurely sunset cruise to extreme water sports, and many things in between, Lake Murray has it all!
Congaree National Park is about 25 minutes to the south. This 26k acre park is the largest tract of old growth bottomland hardwood forest left in the United States. And each year between May and June, for roughly 2 weeks the park hosts synchronous fireflies. Our park is one of only a few places in the world where these fireflies flash in unison while searching for a mate.
And 20 minutes to the northeast is Sesqui State Park, which features lots of wooded hiking trails, a lake for canoeing and fishing, picnic areas, playground, and splash pad (in the summer).
