Saltcellar is one of the best, if not THE BEST, seafood restaurants in town! Their desserts are also unreasonably good! It's on the pricier and up-scale side, but you won't be disappointed if you give it a try!

Country's BBQ is another barbecue spot that has just about everything you can imagine and is slightly more affordable than Smoke Bourbon & BBQ. Definitely don't hesitate to give either a try!

The Columbus riverwalk and the surrounding area is definitely THE place you must come to while in Columbus. Quite a few other attractions are very close to the riverwalk, giving you a little bit of everything in this one location. From zip lining, to great views, food, and amazing drinks, you can't go wrong!

The National Infantry Museum emphasizes the values that define the Infantryman, as well as the nation they protect: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. It preserves and displays one of the greatest collections of military artifacts in the world, but it is a museum of people, not things. As a visitor, you will meet the Infantryman face to face and join them on their journey. You will come to understand why an Infantryman does what they do, why they puts themselves in harm’s way in defense of an idea and you will leave transformed, just as the Infantry transforms the man/woman into the Soldier. The 190,000-square-foot museum opened in June 2009 on a 200-acre tract of hardwoods and pines just outside the gates of the Fort Benning Maneuver Center of Excellence.

By telling the stories of the navies of the Civil War, the museum connects people with the past; giving them a better sense of place and time. The National Civil War Naval Museum overlooks the Chattahoochee River and houses the largest surviving Confederate warship, the CSS Jackson, as well as the wreckage of the CSS Chattahoochee. Other exhibits include a replica of the USS Hartford with its berth deck, ward room and captain’s cabin, an actual cutter or "ship's boat" from the USS Hartford, a full scale replica of the USS Monitor’s famous turret, and an immersive panoramic dockside exhibit recreating Plymouth, North Carolina, complete with an exterior and interior view of the CSS Albemarle. Among their many artifacts, they have the largest collection of Civil War Naval-related flags on display in the country. The collection includes various flags from ships and coastal forts, signal flags and Admirals’ pennants.

The Columbus Botanical Garden has a secluded walking trail and winds through a quiet woodland, giving you very nice, romantic views of carefully landscaped flowers and greenery. They also have classes on topics ranging from landscape design, to flower arranging, to yoga in the garden! The best part is they offer free daily admission to visitors!
