Irish Fairy Door Trail
Grab your passport and follow the path on your trail guide as you stroll through Historic Dublin looking for 8 tiny fairy doors. While wandering the quaint shops of Dublin, be on the lookout for the names of the fairies that live at each store. Stores include an Irish Import Store, Cupcake Shop, Home decor and several others.

Storytelling Program "Saints Preserve Us!"
Enjoy a storytelling program "Saints Preserve Us! The Irish in America"
Hear the tale of an 1830's era Irish immigrant. Guests will meet "Sean O'Shaughnessy," and be enraptured at his moving story of leaving Ireland with his young bride and arriving in America - the land of golden opportunity.
Irish Dance 101 Presentation
What's a reel? How did Irish step dancing evolve into the celebrated "Riverdance" style recognized today?
Visit the Richens Timm Dance Academy and meet a professional Irish dance instructor (who danced with Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance). Learn answers to these questions while watching some young, costumed dancers engage in some fancy footwork.
Irish Wake Storyteller
Wake Me When It's Over.
Visit with Cait Seo Rua, the daughter-in-law of "Pat Murphy" who is the guest of honor at an old-style Irish Wake. She will guide you through the customs and folkways of this curious and disappearing three-day tradition as it would have been circa 1898.
Fiddler & Guitar Entertainment
Enjoy traditional Irish cuisine and sit back and relax while enjoying a fiddle and guitar duo that will create the perfect ambiance for the Sunny Irish Dinner Event.
German Village Sightseeing Tour
German Village is the internationally recognized historic district just blocks from downtown Columbus, OH.
The 233-acre district provides a glimpse of how a working-class neighborhood developed and grew in the early 19th century and how the passion of a small group of urban pioneers drove 20th century rehabilitation efforts.
View an 8 minute Orientation Film at the German Village Meeting Haus, then enjoy a Guided Riding Tour through the brick streets lined with quaint homes, gardens, shops, galleries, and restaurants.
Afterwards, explore two private German Village homes. This is a wonderful way to see the innovative renovation and design efforts of today's residents.
Pittsburgh Sightseeing Tour
Pittsburgh's story comes alive on this specially designed, narrated tour of one of America's most livable cities. Fun stories about prominent Pittsburghers, both past and present, punctuate the narration on historical landmarks, corporate headquarters, fascinating architecture, and important events.
Our tour winds through the Golden Triangle focusing on significant developments and statuesque buildings within this compact and defined area.
Nationality Classrooms
Tour the world in an hour and half.
Through architecture and decor, 26 classrooms reflect the Old World heritages of Pittsburghers. The Nationality Rooms are expressions of timeless human values. In these rooms themes are rendered in wood and glass, iron and stone, fabric, color, and words.
All rooms may not be viewed during the school year, because classes are held in them.
Franklin Park Conservatory & Botanical Gardens
Spend the day at Franklin Park Conservatory & Botanical Gardens and discover beautiful indoor and outdoor gardens, dynamic exhibitions and world-renowned artwork.
Featuring indoor gardens filled with exotic plant life and artwork, including a collection of glass works by artist Dale Chihuly, the Conservatory offers enjoyment of the natural world any time of the year. Outdoor botanical gardens, art sculptures, open green space, and a one-mile walking loop offer respite from everyday life.
