TIP/TRICKS💡

-Use Uber to get to and from the airport or anywhere your feet can’t take you Uber

🚗 Take advantage of free downtown parking
Street meters are free after 6 PM on weekdays and all weekend.

🍹 Know about Dayton’s DORA
Adults 21+ can grab a drink in an approved DORA cup and walk with it throughout the designated downtown area from noon to midnight.

🍸 Save the Oregon District for your evening
The Oregon Historic District is compact and walkable with restaurants, bars, coffee shops and local shopping.

✨ Visit the Oregon District on a weekend
During Out on 5th, Fifth Street closes to vehicles Friday evening through Sunday, creating more space for dining, shopping and hanging out outdoors.

📸 Get your Dayton skyline photo at Deeds Point
It’s one of the best quick stops for riverfront and downtown skyline photos.

🌊 Pair Deeds Point with RiverScape
They’re close enough to easily experience together instead of making them separate outings.

✈️ Give the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force plenty of time
It’s huge, so don’t try to squeeze it into a quick stop. General admission is free, but some simulator and theater experiences cost extra.

🎨 Don’t overlook the Dayton Art Institute
It’s a great option for a slower, prettier afternoon and works especially well if you want something more relaxed than Dayton’s aviation attractions.
