10+ years I ve been visiting my best friend in the various Dayton metro cities she s lived in, and just this summer she takes me Carillon?! Here I was thinking Dayton was the lamest place on earth, when in fact history would suggest quite the opposite! Not only is this a SPRAWLING outdoor park, but there are loads of historic (and replicated) external buildings, exhibits, and artifacts. The Wright aviation exhibit with THE original airplane is an amazing sight to behold. The cash register collection is fascinating. It s so cool to walk through the transportation building and all the vehicles. We didn t leave enough time to casually stroll the grounds whatsoever, but getting a glimpse as we walked between buildings was more than enough of a dangling carrot to bring me back for more. Definitely plan a half day here, not just a couple hours. A true GEM in downtown Dayton!
