Baseball season in Columbus just got even more exciting! The Columbus Clingstones, our very own Atlanta Braves AA affiliate team, are stepping up to the plate at Synovus Park and bringing hometown pride, family fun, and plenty of action to the diamond. Even bigger news? They’ve already announced their 2026 season—so the fun is here to stay! 

 

But the Clingstones aren’t the only way Columbus, GA knows how to knock it out of the park. Beyond game day, our city is packed with adrenaline-pumping adventures, fascinating museums, and family-friendly activities that make every visit a grand slam. 

 

All Out Row 

There’s no better place to dive into adventure than the Chattahoochee River, home to the world’s longest natural urban whitewater course. But the fun doesn’t stop with rafting: 

 

• Whitewater Rafting & Kayaking: Choose your level of thrill, from family-friendly floats to heart-pounding Class V rapids. 
• Zipline Across State Lines: Fly high over the water for unbeatable views and an extra shot of adrenaline. 
• The RiverWalk: Explore 15+ miles of scenic paved trails with over 45 restaurants and bars within walking distance, making it easy to turn your stroll or bike ride into a full day out. 

 

 

All Out Go 

When it’s time to slow the rapids and spark curiosity, Columbus has out-of-this-world attractions for every kind of explorer: 

 

• Coca-Cola Space Science Center: Get hands-on with interactive exhibits, step inside a planetarium show, and see rockets up close. 
• National Infantry Museum: Dive into immersive galleries that bring military history to life—it’s one of the most visited free museums in the country.
