Good old-fashion Mexican restaurant. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant, not only because its so close to our house but because the food is awesome. I would highly recommend the Coriqueso for an app!

Food and drinks are great here. Younger bar scene at night with pool tables and a huge enclosed back patio area. Dogs are encouraged and will likely be running around freely! They even have "Yappy Hour" on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings which is definitely something to experience if you are a dog lover.

Entertainment & Activities

I may be biased because I grew up going here but this is my favorite zoo that I have ever been to. There is so much to see and it's the perfect size that you can see it all! Great for the entire family! Make sure you take the trolly up to the Botanical Gardens, they're stunning!

We actually come here all of the time to play putt-putt, ride go-carts or hit up the batting cages. There is a large arcade inside with laser tag and other fun stuff for kids but the out-door activities are great for any age, they even serve beer! Did I mention its less than a mile from our house?

My husband is a big golfer so I asked him for a few recommendations. I have actually been to this course before with him. I drove the cart and drank wine while he played. It was a good time and the course is cheap and in pretty decent shape.

Lake Murray is one of my absolute favorite things about Columbia. Its one of the most beautiful, largest and clean man made lakes in the US. You can take a walk on the dam (1.5 miles across and 1.5 miles back) and enjoy the views or rent a boat or jet ski for the day. It will be so worth it! You can even ride out to Liberty Tap Room on the Lake for lunch or dinner! Pack up the cooler and call Better Boating in Irmo or Pontoon Rentals & Tours in Lexington for rates.

Parks & Nature

We are so lucky that the Harbison State Forest is basically right across the street from our neighborhood. We take our dog, Goose, hiking on trails through the forest all the time. If you're feeling adventurous you can walk all the way down to the Broad River. I think its a 4 mile hike to the river and 4 miles back. Awesome bike trails too, if you brought your mountain bike!
