When to Visit Columbia, Maryland

With its humid subtropical climate, Columbia has hot summers and cool winters. In July and August, the humid summer temperatures top out in the upper 80s or low 90s. In the winter, temperatures reach the low 40s.

Due to its proximity to Washington, D.C., Columbia's annual tourism timeline tends to match that of the national capital. Despite the hot, sticky weather, summer is high season, with the largest crowds and highest hotel prices. Spring and fall tend to be the ideal seasons to plan a visit, thanks to mild weather and moderate crowds. Winter is low season and a smart time to visit for those looking for affordable rates.

Best Value Options in Columbia, Maryland

Value is what Columbia does best. Stay at these four properties, and you'll strike the ideal balance between amenities and price.

Get a great deal on a standard room at the Hampton Inn & Suites Columbia/South, and you'll be near the Robinson Nature Center and the Merriweather Post Pavilion. All 124 rooms include desks and free Wi-Fi, making them ideal for business travelers. Start your day on the right foot with a workout in the 24-hour fitness center, and fuel up with a complimentary buffet breakfast.

Just a short drive east of Columbia, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Columbia East — Elkridge offers well-appointed rooms and suites. Whether you choose a standard double room or a king suite, you'll have amenities like a refrigerator, a desk, and an LCD TV. Start your day with a workout or a swim, and grab a snack at the on-site market before heading out for the day. Make your stay an even better deal by taking advantage of the free self-parking and complimentary Wi-Fi.

For a great stay in the center of town, book a double or king room at the Sheraton Columbia Town Center Hotel. After a great night's sleep on a pillow-top bed, you'll wake up refreshed and ready for breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Squeeze in a workout at the 24-hour fitness center, and use the complimentary Wi-Fi to plan the day's itinerary. Business travelers will appreciate the hotel's 24-hour business center and 16,000 square feet of conference and meeting space. Seeing Columbia's sights is easy with the hotel's complimentary area shuttle.

Can’t-Miss Attractions in Columbia, Maryland

For many Columbia visitors, the Merriweather Post Pavilion is a top destination. This outdoor amphitheater is located in the midst of 40 acres of forested land, making it the perfect place for summer performances. Whether you're a fan of rock, jazz, country, hip hop, or classical music, you'll find a concert here to pique your interest.

If performing arts are more your speed, head to Toby's Dinner Theater, a local favorite that hosts both Broadway and original musicals and plays. Tickets typically include dinner, so you'll enjoy both dinner and a show. Since this theater is so small, just about every spot feels like a front-row seat.

See some of the best art in the area with a visit to the African Art Museum of Maryland in nearby Fulton. With a full schedule of exhibitions, research, and activities for all ages, this is a fun family friendly destination. In Columbia, the Columbia Art Center offers workshops and classes for students young and old.

Get outdoors with a visit to Columbia SportsPark, a complex that boasts a 15,000-square-foot skate park, an 18-hole mini golf course, batting cages, a playground, and much more. Fun for families, this is also the ideal setting for birthday parties.

Whether you're stopping by for a short trip or you're planning to stay awhile, Columbia has something for everyone. Start planning your visit today, and find the right hotel for your budget.
