Things To Do
National Museum of the US Air Force
Spend hours looking through this free museum with four massive hangers that house replicas of planes starting from the very beginning with the Wright Brothers to Space Force.
Heart of Ohio Antique Center
A bit further north, this awesome antique center holds hundreds of vendors inside along with a cafe in case you get hungry. One of our favorite spots to spend hours browsing antiques and finding cool finds.
Antiques Village
We had a theme for our dates as you can see. Another awesome antiques store that is more local to the Dayton area. Grab a Starbucks coffee nearby and wander the many vendors within this warehouse.
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
Featured in "Secrets of the Zoo" this massive zoo houses a whole number of different animals and attractions to explore. Dan and Hillary took Brooke and her mom, avid viewers of the show, there and they had a blast!
DK Effect
This really cool 'adult' arcade allows you to play the video games of of your childhood. With a pizza parlor right next door, enjoy some good food and games.
The Dairy Station
Such a fun small, locally owned ice cream shop that has over 50 hand scoop flavors, soft serve, and dole whip! This place is always busy and has seasonal flavors (we recommend the Pumpkin!). Dan recommends most of their sundaes and Hillary recommends their milkshakes and soft serve!
Glazed Donuts
While Xenia is slightly out of the way of Dayton, this donut shop has some pretty great donuts and all kinds of fun flavors! Highly recommend.
Graeter's Ice Cream
Graeters is Ohio's famous Ice Cream Shop! Featured in Oprah's favorites for the Black Cherry flavor. This is also where we went on our first date, so enjoy their amazing flavors.
Osaka Japanese Steakhouse
We share a love of hibachi and this is one of our favorite places to go for a special night out. Our first Valentine's Day was spent here.
