Pam and Ming-Ming here! I'm the Director of Marketing and Community Affairs and Ming-Ming is the Chief "Pawsitivity" Officer for The COMET, the Midlands Transit Authority. We're ready to show you all of the dog-friendly spots we love around Columbia SC. Grab a seat on the bus and let's go!
Getting around Columbia SC is made easy with the Soda Cap Connector. Hop on for a ride that is safe, reliable and, most importantly around these parts, air conditioned. The Soda Cap will take you from museums to dining to sports venues all for only $1.
Mere minutes from downtown, Riverfront Park is a perfect spot to immerse yourself in nature and reconnect with friends away from the busy city. Ming Ming loves to stroll and sniff with her puppy pals all along this ADA accessible walk.
Ride the Soda Cap Connector out to the Bull Street District where you can catch a Columbia Fireflies baseball game or grab a bite at Publico Kitchen and Tap. Their Latin-Asian fusion dishes will keep you on your toes.
Insider Tip: They even have a special dog menu so that you can treat your fur baby to a chef-inspired meal.
The Soda Cap Connector also drops off right in front of the South Carolina State Museum. With four floors of the art, history, science and technology of South Carolina, you’ll be hard-pressed to experience it all in one visit. Don’t miss out on the planetarium, a breathtaking show no matter how old you are.
There is so much more to explore around Columbia SC and plenty of friendly local faces to guide you along your way. From The COMET bus drivers to museum curators to park rangers, we are all ready to welcome you to the heart of SC.
