Fall is the perfect excuse to get out and explore Columbia, SC — and the city’s CulturePASS and CoolPASS make it easier to experience more without spending more.

For arts and history lovers, the CulturePASS packs three must-see stops into one affordable pass:

Columbia Museum of Art: Explore world-class works and the sculptures and fountains of Boyd Plaza.
Historic Columbia: Step inside historic homes and discover Columbia’s 19th- and mid-20th-century stories.
South Carolina State Museum: Explore four floors of history and science, then head to the planetarium, 4D theater, or observatory.

Traveling with the family? The CoolPASS adds Riverbanks Zoo & Garden and EdVenture Children's Museum to the State Museum for a full day — or more — of exploring.

Then, make time for Vista public art, a show at the Koger Center, or a Saturday stroll through Soda City Market.

More to see, more to do, and more ways to make a Columbia getaway count.
