Hours in Dublin

Some might say 48 hours in Dublin just isn’t enough time as there’s never a shortage of things to see and do here. Whether you prefer the nightlife, exploring the great outdoors, or a casual stroll ending with a visit to a local ice cream parlor, you can find all of the above and more in Ohio’s Emerald City. Here are a few of our favorites!

Start your busy day with a visit to Sunny Street Café to taste their famous pumpkin pancakes and grab a fresh cup of coffee. Then it’s off to Historic Dublin where you’ll see original buildings from when the village was platted in 1810. Here, you’ll find shops like the Dublin Toy Emporium to see their unique selection of toys for kids of all ages.

Take in the breathtaking view as you walk across the Scioto River via the Dublin Link pedestrian bridge to Bridge Park, Dublin’s premier entertainment, dining, and retail destination, where you can explore the many shops there.

It’s time for lunch — who wants what? You CAN please everyone when you gather at North Market Bridge Park, a public market with roughly twenty of the finest tastemakers in the region. How about an authentic Mexican street taco, burrito and more prepared by the team at Dos Hermanos Taco Truck followed by a refreshing beverage from the Market Bar. You could spend a whole day taking in the sights and sounds of the Bridge Street District but there are still so many places to go!

Grab a frisbee and head to one of more than 60 parks that make Dublin their home including Ballantrae Community Park which includes a splash-pad and larger-than-life dancing hares, nature trails and miles and miles of bike paths.

Wrap up your busy day at Scene75, the #1 entertainment center in North America with 200 arcade games, three bars and restaurants, and 20 attractions. You’ll have a blast!
