We mentioned this place in the restaurant section, but we'd be remiss if we didn't highlight their amazing desserts. Only problem is you can't go their after supper. You must plan ahead and grab that cake before 2pm and stick it in the fridge for later!

The Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens is regularly listed in the top 10 zoo's of America. It houses many species of animals but our favorites are the Gorilla exhibit and the sea lions!
The tram will take you to the botanical gardens in a different area of the zoo, but don't miss Zip the Zoo, the kiddie water park and the carousel!
If you frequent Columbia frequently, it's cheaper to get an annual pass!
