If you’re looking to save a little money on your next vacation by turning it into a staycation, or just looking for a few ideas for a short weekend fun, consider doing vacation research on your home town! We always know to check sites like TripAdvisor whenever we are going somewhere else, but we never thought to use it and other travel resources on our own hometown.

Unfortunately for us, the list of Things to Do in Columbia is pretty bare, only one listing, but that’s because we’re not picking a large enough geographic area. Instead, we broadened it to the whole of Maryland. We figured we’d get the whole list and figure out where everything was! Maryland as 537 Things to Do.

Even better, there are thousands of places to eat.
