Our destination is filled with fresh-air locales and wellness activities for planners to incorporate into their meetings or attendees to explore in their downtime. Experience the refreshing side of Georgia’s second-largest city.
Explore Inspiring Outdoor Areas
A great and easy way to give your attendees an immersive wellness experience in our river city is to get them outside. You’ve probably heard that nature is linked to many benefits, including better mood, lower stress, and improved cooperation, empathy, and attention. But did you know that just looking at water—like our riverfront on the Chattahoochee River that winds through the Uptown District—can also positively affect mental health? Studies show that gazing at bodies of water can increase feelings of relaxation and lower heart rate and blood pressure.
The Chattahoochee River and the RiverWalk, a scenic 15-mile linear park, are just samplings of Mother Nature’s beauties in Columbus. There are all sorts of additional appealing trails, parks, and nature reserves that are must-visits where your group can discover the destination’s natural wonders.
You can also incorporate the outdoors into your meeting by planning one of Columbus’ venues, like the Bibb Mill Event Center, which offers beautiful outdoor gathering space. You can even plan a workout class on a balcony overlooking the river! Multiple hotels also have outdoor spaces throughout, so your group can take in Mother Nature and get a restful good night’s sleep.
Get Active
Get your attendees up and moving. Columbus’ outdoor spaces give attendees room to move and breathe, and recreational activities double as team-building opportunities—like experiencing rafting on the Chattahoochee River, the longest urban whitewater course in the world. You can effortlessly build an itinerary that allows attendees to exercise and have fun while forming an experience they won’t forget. And don’t forget the pedestrian-friendly Uptown District and its adjacent Entertainment District!
