Our CupCakery
Located in a charming historic house, this bakery offers a build-your-own cupcake bar where your kids can decorate their own cupcake. Just pick a cupcake flavor (or a sugar cookie), pipe the icing (or icings) on and add sprinkles and toppings! The cupcake bar is available anytime during our regular business hours. OurCupCakery also offers kids classes, special events, a Future Pastry Chef Camp and more!
Dublin Toy Emporium
The Dublin Toy Emporium welcomes families as part of the Irish Fairy Door Trail where your kids search Downtown Dublin businesses to find tiny magical fairy doors. This unique hands-on store has mind-expanding, safe and fun toys for all ages. The Toy Emporium offers Kindermusic classes, magic classes, story time, birthday parties and more. You can also check their Facebook page for weekly events.
Terra Gallery and Creative Studio
This kid-friendly art gallery invites families to get creative! Be sure to check out the slime-making and pour art classes. Kids spend the first half of the class making slime to take home, then they are guided through making their own pour art painting and learn the technique of fluid art.
You won’t want to miss the popular Mommy and Me classes. Gallery artists help you create a unique and kid-friendly craft that you can take home as a cherished memory.
Johnson's Real Ice Cream
This local favorite offers a wide variety of traditional and monthly specialty flavors. Be sure to ask about the Irish Sundae exclusively available at the Dublin shop!
A large part of the family business is the commitment they make to using only the finest ingredients made close to home while simultaneously sourcing dairy from locally-owned family farms. Enjoy cones, sundaes, scoops and shakes in store or on the patio in the heart of Historic Dublin.
Columbus Metropolitan Library – Dublin Branch
This brand new, three-level, 41,000 square foot library has an entire floor dedicated to an interactive play area with reading portals, smart boards, and a ready-for-kindergarten section. ABC letter-shaped seats make for a great photo opportunity!
There is also a children’s book collection, a story-time area and performance space for programming. Don’t miss the amazing views of the city from the third floor.
