If you're coming to see DC, it's easily accessible by car any day, it's an amazing place to visit, with the Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo all free of charge http://www.si.edu/Museums, as are daily family shows at the Kennedy Center http://www.kennedy-center.org/. The annual Smithsonian Folklife Festival https://festival.si.edu/ and the Cherry Blossom Festival http://www.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/ are just two of the many well-known national events.

Columbia also offers a huge range of recreational options, such as gyms, skating rinks, splash pools, horseback riding, and a golf course.https://www.columbiaassociation.org/ Nature lovers will enjoy nearby Lake Elkhorn, Centennial Lake, and the forest preserve at Middle Patuxent Environmental Area.
