Dayton History Reviews

A great place to have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful scenery!

Relive Dayton history and grab a bite to eat at this awsome facility !!

Nice place. History vased around a park for a relaxing visit

Not affiliated with the real national parks will give you a dollar off though nothing to special seen they added a lookout tower though

Thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits, so much history giving us a much better understanding of Dayton and it's contributions. We do think better directional signage, entrance was difficult to find as well as finding specific exhibits.

Brilliant museum, exhibits, history and beautiful park setting. Highly recommended and doing great service to how Dayton area was indeed the silicon Valley of the 1900 time frame.

We didn't know all this history of Dayton. GREAT way to learn local history is through this park and it's animatronic presentation, as well as the Wright brothers museum.

This is a gem in Dayton! My son attends the University and we stopped by during our visit. Learned so much about the accomplishments and contributions of inventors and entrepreneurs from this area. Well done!

Such a cool place! Had great fun with the kiddos, and learned a ton about this whole area!

It was boring. Would not recommend. Worse then the movie Trolls.

Part of Dayton history. Must see if you live in Dayton or just visiting.

Interesting and important history revealed through engaging exhibits.

Love having the history available at our fingertips and such a kid friendly experience too! The lights were pretty and the activities were great.

My fiancee and I had our names printed in the print shop on beautiful cards. A nice date spot for sure!

Nice, clean, well done. Makes learning the history of Dayton/Ohio fun and interesting. All the employees/actors are intelligent and helpul.

We have done many events held at Carillon Park. They always have a polite and helpful staff. We always look forward to working with Carillon.

Wonderful place to have the German fest. no complaints.

A great place to visit. Tons of great information and fun things to see.

This is a great place to eat and have a few drinks! I wish I could go 4.5 stars. Our server was pretty good, there was 9 of us so the food was a little slow, which is completely understandable!

My husband and I paid a visit to Carillon Historical Park and were WOWED by it! The artifacts depicting Dayton's and Ohio's history are absolutely amazing. We throughly enjoyed the National Park's Service Wright Brothers display. Our guide, Tom, was a wealth of information and talked us through the Wright's history from engineering bicycles to designing and piloting the first aircraft plus other unknown tidbits. This park is definitely worth a visit.

If you want to learn about the history and creation of the Dayton region as well as inventions from our area that are still being used internationally, this is the place. All while having plenty to entertain kids of all ages. And a great restaurant and brewery as well as a great cafe for brunch. This is a full day and more of fun learning.

The kettle pot was cool. Also the brewery is very cool and had good food.

An amazing history of manufacturing in Ohio. I also got to see an original Wright brothers plane from 1905

Wonderful prime example of Daytons' history, a must see for anyone truely interested in history!!

Very cool things to see. Even the kids liked it. The Wright Brothers original plane was great.

Must go adventure for young and old. You don't have to be native to Dayton to enjoy the history of the exhibits.

It is a great and fun way to learn about Dayton history.

It was a very nice place to go. At Christmas time they have it all lite up. A great place to learn about thing in Ohio.

The Christmas tree is beautiful went to just sit and look at it!

Very cool! If u enjoy craft beer u have to get to this place!

Quite fascinating place -- covers a great deal of Dayton, Ohio area history from the first pioneers to the age of aviation and the automobile. You can see log cabins, early frame homes, conastoga wagons, stage coaches, the Wright bicycle shop, the Wright B Flyer, train cars (Barney and Smith RR cars were built here), a Corliss engine, early automobiles, a huge collection of cash registers (some are amazing!) and early sports in Dayton (first football team in the NFL).
This is also a great place to visit if you come to Dayton to see the Air Force Museum or if you come for the amateur radio Hamvention.

In addition, there are outdoor carillon bell concerts, and small steam trains for the kids -- call ahead for scheduled events.

There is a great restaurant, gift shop and easy parking on site.
Much is outdoors, so dress warm in cold weather.
Allow at least four hours -- more if you take the Hawthorn Hill, Wright Brothers' house tour (1 1/2 hours, call ahead for reservations).
We loved the park.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas. The only improvement would be more bench's for people to sit. Elderly folks could visit more if they could sit as the park is stretched out. Great job Carrillon Park .

Everything you need to know about the history of Dayton. Enjoyable day looking at all there is about Dayton. Plus the amazing nest and the Bald Eagle that has made this park its home

Miniature Dearborn Village, dedicated to the industries and people that propelled Dayton in the 20th century

We drove up after super so we could see all the lights on the Carillon. We were surprised how the park looked all lite up as well.

Lots of local history in one stop. Very informative.

What a wonderful place. Computers and bikes and cars and plans, and of course cash registers!

A lot of good Dayton history especially on the tech/invention side of things.

If you "think" You know Dayton or have no idea about its history, this is a must to see.

A different kind of beer experience. All the beer made here is made using techniques from 200 years ago. Warning: this gives the beer a bit of a sour taste! Still, the beer is good. They also have a restaurant I'm looking forward to checking out in the future.

Wonderful place to visit with lots of history. I enjoyed the volunteers who gave a more in depth historical account.

Great outdoor space to hold an antique car and motorcycle show.

The fantastic historical place to learn of Dayton and world changing inventions. Model railway event 6/22/19. Everyone should see this.

Great over the holiday season and has loads of other events through out the year

Probably the best kept secret in Dayton. Hours and hours of entertainment for kids and adults.

The lighted Christmas tree iver the bell tower were beautiful.

It is a very beautiful place. If you want to visit this park, make sure you arrive there before noon, because it takes about three to four hours to go around majority of the things and they close at 4pm. Moreover, another problem you may come across is that it is self-guided, which can be challenging.

So much fun! The historical park is full of great Dayton history. Make sure you go and see the lights!

A must see in Dayton, especially during Xmas holidays

Super nice park. Came for a 4-mile run, but will definitely come back to see what the park has to offer!

Great place to learn about the history of Dayton Ohio.

So much history here to enjoy if you love learning about mid industrial America in the local area. This is a great place for class field trips and the staff are very knowledgable about their subjects. There is something to interest everyone at the Park.

Great place if you enjoy history. I would plan on spending several hours as there are many outside buildings besides the museum.

Beautiful, 65-acre historical park filled with sidewalks, displays, and various monuments. You can take a tour through the park to see all of the different sites. Tours are also available and these can be helpful as they are led by someone who knows a lot of information and history about the site. You could come here even if you just wanted to see the main 151 ft. talk monument for free!

It was nice price was a little high I thought the lights is nice the fires were nice had a good time we have a one-year-old that really enjoyed it
