Our Favorite Local Attractions

There are various breweries in town if you're trying to catch a bit of college football before the festivities on Saturday. We recommend checking out local favorites downtown such as Chattabrewchee and Scofflaw Brewing, both located along 5th Avenue.

The Chattahooche Riverwalk is a great place to stretch your legs during the day. Enter down by Wavershaper Island to watch the white water rapids and kayakers on warm, sunny days. If you're up for a little adventure, try your hand at ziplining or raft down Columbus' iconic white water course, which is the longest urban white water course in the world.

The Bo Bartlett Center is Anna's favorite museum in town. The small gallery showcases the work of her favorite Columbus artist, Bo Bartlett. The Columbus Museum, though, is home to Anna's favorite work of Bartlett's, a 1995 piece entitled 'Homecoming.'

If you're looking to do a little vintage shopping, check out Gallerie 143 for home finds. The Vibe on 6th and Silver Hanger inside Highside Market are great options for vintage clothing and more eclectic home finds.

The National Infantry Museum offers an in depth look back into America's past and the military operations that shaped it. The award-winning museum is extremely well curated and offers interactive and immersive exhibits.

Callaway Gardens, Garrett and Anna's favorite spot to spend an afternoon in nature, offers a lovely escape out of the city. Explore the quaint town of Pine Mountain or grab lunch at the Country Store on your way to the Butterfly Center. Plan for travel to Callaway to take at least one hour each way from downtown Columbus.
