I had no idea that this was tucked away in Dublin. There is a grassy hill for one to climb with a rabbit statue on top as a visual reward. It’s a perfect place to bring a sun umbrella and a cooler for lunch. There is nothing for sale, it’s completely free but they do have public restrooms

Carpe Beadem! Lisa Busch - Owner. History Established in 20056 years ago I was making jewelry and became frustrated when beads that I needed were not consistently available or even carried at all in my local bead store. That's where the idea for 1 Stop Bead Shop formed - a shop where a beader could get EVERYTHING she or he needed.My degree is in education, and I was already teaching beading, so it was natural to start teaching at the store. Little did we imagine that 1 Stop Bead Shop would have 26 instructors teaching nearly 100 classes a quarter.I also knew I wanted a really friendly, fun store. I envisioned the "Cheers of beading - a place where everybody knows your name!" It's been a real blessing to watch my vision become a reality as we have created not just a store, but a community of beaders.We are Central Ohio's bead class headquarters, offering over 100 classes each quarter in bead weaving, bead stringing, wire working, chainmaille, metals, lampwork bead making, bead and wire crochet, fiber art jewelry, French beading, soutache, bead embroidery and more. Our staff of 14 instructors have more than 100 years of combined experience creating and teaching the art of jewelry making. Please visit our classes page on our website to view our current class schedule.

Indian Run Falls

Reviewed By JGJerry - Springfield, United States

Beautiful walk along the rim of the gorge that includes views of the creek, water falls, and rock cliffs. The falls are beautiful if you can get a good view of them with all the trees. We enjoyed our walk from the parking lot across the bridge at the upper falls along the rim to the cemetery and back. Some really old grave stones in the cemetery dating back to the 1800’s.

Coffman Park

Reviewed By 439kents - Los Angeles, United States

My wife and I recently spent three days listening to Celtic music, enjoying a variety of foods from pasties to pot stickers, indulging in ice cream, cookies and cakes at the Dublin Celtic/Irish Festival held at Coffman park the first weekend of August. We travel specifically to attend Celtic music festival and have enjoyed them in many states and countries. This festival has been the best overall Celtic event that we have attended in the last 40 years. The entertainers were local, national and international and excellent entertainers. There were educational events, sports activities, a huge kids play area many vendors there. Despite going all three days, we weren't able to see all of them and will need to return again next year. The staff was excellent with over 1,000 volunteers. It was an unbelievably reasonable admission cost ($25/senior for all three days!). This was definitely the highlight event so far of our Celtic experiences.

Grounds of Remembrance

Reviewed By UsuallyNotGrumpy

The grounds of remembrance to the fighters in many wars America has been in is well done. Simplified and understated. Lots of soldiers names in the bricks by the walkways. It is adjacent to an OLDE cemetery surrounded by an old hand built stone wall. Many of the tombstones are weathered to the point of being unreadable, if not broken. There is a large one, set laying on the ground under a big old tree. I wouldn’t mind being buried in that tranquil spot. Just across on corner is the ultra modern new public library building. Across the other is the brand new foot bridge across the river to the Bridge Street area Dublin has been developing. It’s a great area to visit! There is also a creek side trail behind the cemetery that runs up and down ridges. It’ll make you forget your anywhere near a large city. Pretty area! Go. Be respective. Explore.

Traveled over the Thanksgiving Holiday and friends said lets go to "Pins". Life long 10 pin bowler didn't know anything about "string duck pin bowling". All ages in our group and we had a great time. No shoe rental or great talent needed. Just fun with crazy pin action. The Bar was full service with games to play for everyone. Go and enjoy ...its something you would not expect.

The mall itself is a bit small, but they have a decent selection of shops. There are actually two Bath and Body Works stores, and they have a great Body Shop with specials!! Well maintained mall, with lots of walkers and shoppers.
