5 points is one of Columbia's most well-known areas. It is 5 streets (hence the name 5 points) that all connect at one point. Each street has several bars and the entire 5 points area easily has over 15 bars all within walking distance of each other. At night this area is geared more towards college age-early 20's. This area also has some GREAT local restaurants and local shops. If you have never been to Columbia, this would be a must visit area.

Edventure is rated in Trip Advisor's top 10 things to do in Columbia. This is a MUST if you are traveling with children! I would suggest visiting it even if you don't have children.
