Pettibone is a newer coffee shop that has awesome beans! Locally roasted, this is where we buy our beans to make coffee at home. Located a smidge further out of downtown but maybe only a 15 min drive away. Large seating area!

A 35-40 minute walk from our house, this park has beautiful landscaping and several swings to enjoy the sunrise or sunset as it cascades upon the river, as well as paved paths for bicycling. In the winter this metro park offers rink ice skating and rentals.
A focal point of RiverScape MetroPark is the Five Rivers Fountain of Lights, a series of five fountains that shoot water about 200 feet high and 400 feet across at the confluence of the Great Miami and Mad Rivers. These fountains have been part of the city skyline since 2001, when the park opened. The five streams of water, symbolizing our five regional rivers, meet in a giant center spray honoring our region’s fortunate abundance of water within the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer, one of the nation’s most plentiful aquifers and the source of the fountain’s water. This dramatic in-river feature is unique because of its innovative technology and artistic design. Sixty-foot stainless steel and aluminum spires adorn the tops of the fountain towers. These sculptural pieces of architecture reflect sunlight and create beautiful moray patterns. When night rolls in, the fountain spires are covered with 25 “intelligent” lights that can create almost every color imaginable.

Carillon Historical Park is a 65-acre (26.3 ha) park and museum in Dayton, Ohio, which contains historic buildings and exhibits concerning the history of technology and the history of Dayton and its residents from 1796 to the present. The major sections include settlement, transportation, invention, and industry.
We love to start with breakfast at the beautiful diner, explore the indoor and outdoor interactive museums, then it’s a must to grab lunch and a brewski as you watch how beer was made in the olden days!

Dayton is a small city, most of the time one can find meter parking or there are designated paid parking lots. The city also offers bicycles and scooters to rent to use within city limits at a minimal cost.
