St Peter’s Catholic Church

St. Peter’s Catholic Church sits right in the thick of Columbia’s downtown scene, which honestly makes it a decent home base if you’re out exploring with kids. You’re a short walk from Finlay Park and the Columbia Museum of Art, so it’s easy to piece together a solid afternoon without driving all over town. It’s more of a stop-along-the-way kind of spot than a destination playground, so set expectations accordingly. Worth knowing: accessibility is limited here, so families with wheelchairs or mobility needs may want to plan around that.
