Any historic sites/fun things to do around there? Outdoor activities, things to do within an hour or so's drive

Are there any state parks or camps to stay at within a couple hours of Columbia?

Charleston is a cool city. The Firefly distillery is neat too, but I think that's closer to Savannah

How much time to kill?

-Congaree State Park is really cool, not a bad drive.
-Lunch in Vista (Gervais Street), plenty of options.
-USC's campus is actually really pretty, the Horseshoe is beautiful in the fall.
-The river walk is pretty as well, the trail is better on the West Columbia side (across the river).
-Check out River Rat Brewery (near the football stadium), they are open most afternoons, it's a good time.
-Echo the statehouse, there are free tours given everyday.

Where are you staying?

Cola? When I went to Carolina nobody said Cola


I know, right. It's Coke. Even if it's Dr. Pepper. See? Mid-westerners can learn.
