Enjoy the great outdoors in Dublin
It's not just in the name. Dublin is Irish-obsessed and, throughout the year, you'll find everything from the colorful Saint Patrick's Day parade to the famous Dublin Irish Festival, the biggest Irish festival outside the old country. There's more to Dublin than its Irish heritage though. When you stay in a Dublin vacation rental, you'll have the allure of outdoor adventure and a wealth of fascinating attractions to discover. It's particularly popular in the winter months, when the dozen-or-so lifts take eager thrill-seekers up to the summit to ski down more than 144 acres of piste.

Get your kicks in Dublin
When you stay in a Dublin vacation rental, you won't be short of things to do. If you're bringing the kids, they'll love whizzing down through the treetops on zip lines before tackling the aerial courses of walkways, swings and nets. For something a little more peaceful, you can hire a kayak or canoe to navigate downstream along Ohio's Scioto River. Alternatively, you could pack up a picnic and head to the Indian Run Falls Park, just minutes away from Dublin, where you can hike the trails and settle in for lunch by one of the many tumbling cascades.
See the world's wildlife, all in one place
Wildlife lovers don't need to travel the globe to discover Earth's many species. At the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, you can have close encounters with more than 10,000 creatures. At their Heart of Africa exhibit, you can see everything from majestic lions, towering giraffes and cheeky monkeys to galloping gazelles. Alternatively, you can cool down at the Polar Frontier while you watch polar bears with their cubs catching trout in their enormous pool. Before you leave, be sure to go 'down under' to see the hopping kangaroos or take a boat trip through the Southeast Asian exhibit.
