There’s a ton to see and do in Georgia, with multiple locations all across the state that are worth visiting. One of these places is the great city of Columbus. While it might not be as well known as Atlanta, it certainly doesn’t skimp on the entertainment or experiences that it has on offer. Let’s check out these three attractions you can find in the city that also double as kid-friendly vacation spots.
Chattahoochee Riverwalk
The Chattahoochee Riverwalk is a relaxing scenic location in the city that’s perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, and it’s also a fun place for your kids to play. According to Trail Link, the Riverwalk is located right beside the Chattahoochee River as one would expect, giving you an ideal place to take a walk while admiring the many passing ships and the water. There are also play areas for children and families that you can visit along the path. Certain areas of the path also allow you to get up close to the water with the proper safety gear, letting you watch the water from right along the shore.
Coca-Cola Space Science Center
If your family is a fan of NASA and outer space, the Coca-Cola Space Science Center is the perfect destination for your trip. Inside the museum, you can find all sorts of information guides and exhibits on space, planets and other astrological facts. There are also interactive exhibits, like the walk to a replica space shuttle that simulates what it’s like to be an astronaut getting ready for launch as well as breathtaking planetarium shows. Budget points out that while traveling with kids can be challenging, it’s a little less difficult when you have fun places like the Science Center for them to look forward to and talk about afterward.

With tons of beautiful plants all in a well-maintained and natural forest setting, this garden is a perfect spot for any nature lover looking to relax after some more exciting vacation business.
