Dayton History Reviews

Amazing park. The lights on the bell tower during the holidays are a sight that must be witnessed up close and in person.

Stumbled onto this looking for a Wright brothers exhibit. Well worth the stop and a great value for the money.

Beautiful grounds and building. Chris is a very informative tour guide. He really made things come alive.

Great Christmas holiday events. I really enjoyed the roasted chestnuts and homemade gingerbread!

Staff was great, atmosphere was excellent, food was just OK!

It's a walking tour of Dayton History. You can spend hours at the displays or take a briefer overview; there are lots of photo ops. During Holiday season, the buildings and bridge and pathways are covered in lights amid upended until late with hot cider and hot chocolate, ginger cookies and popcorn. Some is prepared over an open fire for historical perspective. It was greatly enjoyed by the family.

THE Visit was interesting , informative, and e entertaining. I am proud of the many accomplishments that Dayton has made in our world, and happy the history is well presented for all to see

Highly recommend. Excellent food, excellent customer service, beautifully place, very cozy and quiet!

Dayton is called the Gem City, and this is the Gem of Dayton.For a stroll down memory lane or to visit one of the Midwest best car shows, this is the place to go.

Love the history! And the food is great! Must see if you're a fan of Dayton and its elaborate history and culture. Truly a gem city

My husband and I are in Germantown for a couple days. We did the Carillon Historical Park and it was really cool! The weather was a cool but sunny April day. Perfect!

Visiting from Oregon and love how they keep everything furnished and period. The staff was very friendly and informative and would walk and talk with you. Printing presses are still in use and you can buy gifts that they print on! Very cool!

Interesting place with a lot too see. $12 per person is a bit steep.

Free historical park that has lots of things to go through and look at. A ton of neat buildings that take you back through Dayton's Historical background and history back into the 1900's.

I visited this park several times 2 years ago, by myself and with elderly friends. It is amazing how much history has been brought to one spot. I continue to recommend it. The print shop, vehicles, cash registers, and visual history of the flood were outstanding memories and very well presented! The park itself is pleasant. (The restaurants were great idea.) I had a person in a wheel chair with me twice, and almost all of the exhibits were do-able with them.)

I have been visiting this park since I was 5 years old. It has recently been updated to include a vintage brewery and restaurant. Very nice facility and interesting local history museum.

Excellent Christmas tree display over the bell tower - reportedly the tallest "tree of light" in Ohio.

Only went to the bell tower "tree". Beautiful and huge.

It was nice as usual like to go there to sit out just taking in some sun you know good vitamin D meditate enjoy the outside

Great historical park with a beautiful holiday display

Great atmosphere and eclectic selection of menu items and brews.

I was married at the Carrilon Bells in 1979. I love this place

We enjoyed walking through the park. We always learn something new about Dayton each time we visit.

I learned so much about our wonderful city that I never knew. I loved the concept of walking to different buildings housing different historical artifacts. Very cool.

I would definitely recommend visiting during the lighting of the "tree".

The membership is worth it for the events that are included and the discounts at the brewery.

This was so much fun to travel to and the people working were so kind and accommodating! I didn't mind paying $17 to get us in for all the value my child got from it.

Great place to learn local history and the impact it had on the world.

This was a lot of fun. I went for their winter display. It was fun and informative. Will be going back.

Great place to learn some history of Dayton and the Miami Valley.

Beautiful grounds, excellent displays. The small train ride in the back was a lot of fun and you get a surprisingly good long ride on it --- meant for kids most likely but it was also fun for adults.

You can learn about the inventors and inventions from the Dayton area and even see the 3rd Wright Flyer (yes the actual one) which was the first manueverable flyer. I also like the story of the photo of the first flight and the camera is there. You will also learn about so much else that was created here... that you should go check it out.

We had a great time at the park itself. It was much bigger than I had imagined. Not only was it a nice outdoor / indoor experience but it was also very educational. We also ate at the brewery which I think was a little overpriced.

Went to Restaurant really good food and beer. You will not be disappointed.

Service was great. Waitress was friendly, and fast with order. Beer was very good.

Just found this little gem! Great ambiance, good beer and wonderful homemade bread!

We went for the Christmas lights and dinner. We really enjoyed the museum and the food at the brewing company was excellent. I held the fifth star because the museum should really be done in daylight to fully appreciate it and the restaurant was slow because of the volume of people at the holiday.

Gives you a glimpse into Daytons past and is amazing if you love history

Such a Beautiful and well structured place for Families to go and learn about the great city of Dayton!

First time here. Beautiful place. Love the feel and the landscape of the whole place

Awesome park with lots of exhibits. The bald eagles have babies right now. There a ton to do and learn there. The family pass is very reasonably priced if you think you would go back a second time or more.

Beautiful museum and park...especially if you love history and fresh crafted beer!

Beautiful lighting display. Brewery personnel very friendly and knowledgeable. Although the beer selection (brewed on premises) is rather limited at this time, everything I had was very tasty. And the Bier Cheese soup is out of this world!

Wonderful and educational park. Lots of history and interesting. The gardens are well kept and beautiful also.

It had been a few years since the last visit. Lots of new exhibits. Well worth a visit.

This is a nice park that journeys you through the history of Dayton. There is a lot to see and absorb. The replica of the original wright brother plane was a beautiful sight.

Great place to learn all abt dayton....but it should be FREE to all!!!!

Our family decided to venture out to downtown Dayton tonight to curb the craving that we were having for Old Scratch Pizza

On our way home, we decided to stop by Carillon Historical Park to check out the lights.

I m really glad that we decided to stop by. This was my first time walking around this local historical venue. I had no idea how much history had been made right in Dayton, OHIO!

The lights were fantastic, the hot chocolate was delicious and we were very happy with the pictures! But the best part of the night was hanging with my two favorite people in the entire world!

It was so much fun. The children had a great experience and were so engulfed in the activities that they were very sad when they had to leave.

Great park about the history of Dayton, Ohio.
Covers a wide range of time and technology.

It was pretty and relaxing. Apparently they have some events there all year long and a huge Christmas tree! Check it out!

Was so much fun. Highly recommend taking your family! Not something down south! Loved it!

Great family day trip, the food and beer at the brewery is amazing!

Great place to visit, especially during events. I hear that the John Patterson has great dimples. They also have a nest of bald eagles, if you are lucky the eagles might be at war with the hawks that day. Also, I saw a cute mouse there, and its pretty great for wedding photos.

Carillon Historical Park is a great place to go to learn about the rich history of Dayton, Ohio. There is so much to learn, so you could go more than one time and still not see everything there is to see. There are also a pair of bald eagles that have taken up residence at the park which is pretty cool. A family membership is very affordable and definitely worth the money. You won t be disappointed.

Beautiful at night with all of the Christmas lights

What a wonderful way to spend your day cycling with your children around Carillon Historical Park

He won't regret stopping and seeing the park, so many things there to make you so proud of Dayton Ohio, knowledge in history of our home, famous wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, NCR, the United States astronauts actually sent a certificate to the museum for there beginning in aviation.

I enjoy visiting this park! It's a little travel back in time

Never been here before but loved it! Carrillon Historical park is a wonderful place with so much history of the Dayton area! Starting with a bike, cash registers, refrigerators, to a flying mashine! Will certainly be back to spend a whole day with my boys!
