Kona French Toast

On your marks, get set, go!

If your family enjoys adventuring, head to Indian Run Falls Park, an outdoor oasis just minutes from Downtown Dublin. Take advantage of a full afternoon of hiking, natural scenery, observation decks and of course the awe-inspiring waterfalls. Pro Tip: This park is also the perfect backdrop for a family picnic!

Go Wild for the Zoo

Prefer a walk around one of the nation’s best zoos? The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is a walk around the globe from A to Z. Begin in Africa and end up in Zoombezi Bay! In addition to seeing lions, giraffes, zebras and monkeys, you can also spend part of your day cooling off by zipping down giant waterslides, bobbing up and down in the wave pool or floating peacefully down the lazy river at Zoombezi Bay Water Park. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

The Dublin Market

Is it time for more treats?

Isn’t it always when you’re visiting Dublin? Pop by Cap City in Bridge Park for one of their famous milkshakes, a slice of their three-layer chocolate cake or a deep-dish apple pie. Or hold out until dinner time and enjoy their classic diner options with a unique upscale twist.

But we believe in freedom of choice. So if you’re not in the mood for a milkshake, we’ve also got Kilwins, Graeter’s and Johnson’s Real Ice Cream – the trifecta of gooey ice cream goodness!

Over the River
