Dayton History Reviews

I went there as a child, and let me tell you things have changed A LOT. Much more information available, with helpers all over the place. I even got to see the eagles fly and land on their nest. I had a wonderful time.

Wonderful museum and park. Cafe is a good place to eat. There is a restaurant with a brew pub.

Went to Carrillon for bald eagle photo shoot. Visited the print shop chatted with Dennis. My friend Rufus went with me. Had a great day. That park is just awesome. You need to go for a visit. You will enjoy a lot of Daytons history you can't see anywhere else. Just go.

Always a good time. Today with two grandsons, ages 3 and 6. Last summer with my cousins, in their 50s.. great for all ages.

Carillon never disappoints! I ve been here multiple times on class field trips, with family, and for the holiday event. It s full of informative and intriguing experiences, and simply beautiful lights for the holidays.

Carillon was worth the time to visit, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the fast food vendors, not to mention all the great displays

A wonderful place to spend the day. Lots of Dayton history and artifacts. Great for all ages. Something for everyone!

Lots of Dayton area history and displays. Cars, bikes, tech etc

Very educational and fun. Kids love the slides and train rides. A great museum campus for understanding Dayton's history. Really interesting exhibits on the history of Dayton industry.

On the site you will find a very interesting cross section of the history of Dayton. Original and reconstructed houses, documentation of the great flood, technical inventions and products from Dayton as well as scenes from everyday life. Everything pretty well presented and documented. What I miss is information from the history of the region before settlers arrived here. One could get the impression it would have been deserted. What it definitely was not. If you look at history, it should never be selective!

Unique and tasty. Loved the fact the beer was historically based but may not appeal to all.

So many things do, love listening to bells with family.

Great park! Had fun walking around and exploring. Buy the membership if you live in the area, its a good place to bring the kids to.

Great place to visit for Dayton history and a fun time!

The local history of Dayton is very nicely presented. This includes the original 1905 Wright Flyer.

Great place for children and a wonderful history of Dayton. Very friendly staff. The brewing company isnt the best for kids.

A beautiful spot housing a surprising and entertaining museum... or should I say museums!

If you live in the Dayton area and haven't checked this place out, you need to plan a day and go. It's more than worth the cost of admission

Not sure the Park is open after New Year's. Can always call and find out.

The biggest tree in the United States and we have it here, close to home.

Older and still charming history museum. Great for kids and even has a little cafe on the premise.

Excellent compiling of local Dayton history. Good for all ages.

Fun, interesting, and amazing
Loved the stuff your guys had about the Wright Bros and their plane.

This place is fabulous to learn about the history of the Dayton area. The staff is so knowledgable and friendly and they maintain the land well. When I was last here, the print shop was running and some employees explained everything in great detail.

So many building to see. My kids loved the print shop.
Also the transportation area was nice.
The Wright brothers building was well done.
I learned so much about the Dayton area.

Maker Fair Day. Very cool, lots of opportunity and resources to innovate in Dayton! Carillon park is a well kept historical park.

Quite fascinating place with a high variety of items. Its main focus is on Wright Brother's businesses, the company NCR, and Chase Kettering. I mostly enjoyed the trains in the building next to the clock tower. Awesome place and justifies the price of 12$.

Beautiful park, varied & interesting history displays, wonderful volunteers.

Beautiful place, lots of local history, and good food at the Brewery

Great place for the community. Lots of stuff to learn about, they often have events that are pretty cool too. There is a brewery here too and the food is pretty good there.

We just discovered this gem! How have we lived in Dayton this long and never been. Got a membership and plan to return. My young kids and I loved it

Our family enjoys visiting Carillon, especially the Transportation Building and the hidden playground. Carillon hosts lots of fun events, like the rail fest and the holiday lights. The Brewing Co. has good food and a nice atmosphere.

I went to see the Christmas light display. I was very under wowed. It was basically just Christmas lights on the pathways. No very detailed displays. While I enjoyed the museum experience they offer that wasn't really my intention based on what was being advertised. I'd recommend just visiting the giant light tree and doing pictures as this was the biggest attraction and is free.

First time visiting during their evening Christmas event. It was fun to walk through the park with all the lights. Be prepared to wait in line as this was the most people I have seen in the park at any given time. If you are not afraid of heights climbing the steps to the top of the Reynolds and Reynolds clock tower at night is worth the view. Not as dramatic as the view from Kong's Island Effal Tower; but not a bad way to view Dayton.

Great place for the family that is often forgotten. Also great for a casual walk.

What a great treasure. Should be a requirement of Dayton School children to take a field trip to the museum.

Great place to spend a warm sunny day followed by dinner at the Carillon Brew House.

They have a couple of different restaurants here, one old-time cafe and one brewery. Both seem pretty popular. There are some specials if you become a member.

Beautiful park. Well educated and friendly staff and volunteers.

Keep improving as you have in the past. The improvements are outstanding and the dossent was outstanding. Give him (Ned),a raise.

Lots of buildings to look at and artifacts to see. Plenty of walking and cool things to look at.

Great little historical park. Lots of Dayton area history.

We went to the restaurant here.
We had a very good experience! Loved the food. We had our granddaughter with us celebrating her 18 birthday.

Wonderful place to learn about Dayton history.The brewery is very nice also,good food,good beer & wonderful volunteers & staff.

I hadn't been here in quite a while, and was pleasantly surprised by how much there is to do. Obviously there is the bell tower, but also the historic buildings were all very interesting. It was great to see all the details they have put into this lovely site.

Wonderful park and American history museum. The ridable miniature diesel train is well-worth the price. For now, there's even a Bald Eagle's nest with two fledglings.

Really nice park with Bell Tower, Period restaurant and Wright Brothers display.

Wonderful place to absorb local history. Full of interesting and fascinating artifacts and exhibits. Fantastic destination for a family outing.

Really interesting old buildings, railroad cars and Wright museum. Something for everyone if you include the brewery.

There's a great deal of History the entire Carillon Historical Park was fascinating and you really learn a lot about the Wright brothers

Love this place. Beers are wonderful and food is great.

This is a very big and interesting museum of Dayton history. If you get a membership you'll need it to much to see.

Historical Park Museum is great. ..you can always learn something along with the family.

What a neat place to learn about the history of Dayton. Bring some cash, it isn't free.
