Columbia and Boone County are destinations full of rich history, an array of arts and culture, and home to an engaged and friendly community. Whether you visit our area for leisure, business or a sporting event, Columbia is ready to welcome you. This Visitor Guide will give you an inside look at everything our area has to offer. You can plan your visit around one of our festivals that highlights art, music, non-fiction films and history. Columbia is even celebrating its Bicentennial in 2021, commemorating 200 years of history and community. Outdoor enthusiasts have no shortage of choices when it comes to Columbia. Visitors looking to immerse themselves in nature can check out a hike at Rock Bridge State Park and incredible wetlands and wildlife await you at Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area. Dozens of city parks and miles of trails provide visitors with the opportunity to be as active as they desire. One thing you’ll definitely run out of time to do is trying all of our fantastic restaurants. With local choices ranging from casual to fine dining and burgers to international fare, it will take a few visits to really find your favorites. You can also check out the area’s thriving craft brewery, winery and distillery scene. Want even more information? I encourage you to visit the Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau online at VisitColumbiaMo.com or check them out on any of their social media platforms. While you are here, make sure to use #ShowMeCoMo to share what you’re enjoying during your time here. No matter the reason for your visit, I think you will find that Columbia has even more to offer than you may have expected. I hope that your visit is a memorable experience and that you share it with others. We look forward to having you back in Columbia soon.
