Your Adventure Continues...

One of the best authentic New York bagels you may have ever eaten can be found at Bruegger’s Bagels right here in Dublin, so begin your second day adventures there. Just down the road, located in a small park, you’ll find Indian Run Falls — Dublin’s very own outdoor oasis. Revel in the tranquility of the waterfalls while discovering the abundance of wildlife living there. There’s a viewing deck and hiking trails that will take you upstream where you’ll find a 10-foot cascade with a creek flowing through a scenic gorge. An urban wonder — just minutes away!

You can’t visit Dublin without experiencing its world-renowned Art in Public Places, a joint venture between the City of Dublin and Dublin Arts Council. There’s a Field of Corn (with Osage Orange Trees), an installation of 109 human-sized concrete stalks of corn, and Leatherlips, a 12-foot-high limestone portrait of the Wyandot Native American Chief who once roamed early Dublin.

Have you ever wondered how a pro-grade baseball bat is crafted from start to finish? Take a one-hour tour at Phoenix Bats where wood baseball and softball bats for every level from little league and beyond are made. Approved by pro players since 2000, you’ll get to see the process firsthand and even take home a miniature bat souvenir.

African lions, Amur tigers and polar bears! Oh my! Discover those and more among the 10,000 animals at the famed Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. You’ll feel like you’re on safari in the Heart of Africa, or down under in the Australia and Islands exhibit. It’s all here for you to explore. And on those hot, summer days, visit the adjacent Zoombezi Bay where you can cool off on 17 water slides, dodge the waves in the pool or settle in with a refreshment at Crocktail Creek!

The evening is yours to enjoy however you please! Grab a cold beer at Getaway Brewing Co. or North High Brewing Company to start. Then select from 30 restaurants within walking distance of downtown Dublin. There are fine steaks and tavern fare on the menu at The Avenue, fresh seafood at Kona Craft Kitchen + Bar, or Corned Beef and Cabbage at Fado Irish Pub. Wherever you choose, you’re sure to have a world-class dining experience. Bon Appétit!
