About Columbia

The "Heart of the South" is a compelling mix of charm, history and dynamism. A center for academia and business, it's also the state's government hub. From the Governor's Green to the SC State Museum. The State House Library to the Supreme Court. If it gets too hot, take a stroll through Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Or go boating, swimming and fishing on Lake Murray, a 50,000-acre water playground. Columbia's home to antebellum mansions and Fort Jackson, the Army's largest training center.

Did you know?

Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens, having been awarded the Southeastern Tourism Society's Shining Example Award four times, is home to over 2000 animals. The exhibits were designed without bars or cages and feature creatures and plants from all over the world.
