The Greater Columbus Area is filled with tons of culture, music, food, outdoor recreation, and more! Here are some examples of things our residents explore during their three years as residents in the area. More information about Columbus can be found at Experience Columbus or The City of Columbus main page.

Columbus Coffee Trail

It's more than a great cup of coffee. Quality craftsmanship and commitment to education are brewing behind each cup. Visit these participating coffee shops and check in digitally at each. After just four stops, you earn a Columbus Coffee Trail T-shirt and after all the stops, you earn a free Columbus Coffee Trail mug! Use #CbusCoffee to share your journey.

Columbus Distillery Trail

Bottom's up! Our local distillers are passionate about their proprietary recipes, twists on traditional flavors and tried & true ingredients. Hear the stories of the distillers, peek at their process and have a few sips along the way. When you visit these participating distilleries, "check in" using your digital pass. After just four stops, you earn a Simple Times Mixer and after checking in at all stops on the trail, you earn a Columbus Distillery Trail T-shirt! Document your journey using #CbusDistilleries.
