Museums
There are a ton of great museums in Dayton and these are my favorites that I've been to.
This is probably one of the biggest museums you can go to (in three huge hangers) and you could 100% spend an entire day here because there's so much to see.
Even if you don't like plans but have an inkling of a love for history, this is a must-stop. I particularly liked seeing the older plans and getting to walk through Air Force One Plans from decades ago.

National Museum of the USAF
I love older cars and loved this museum (they have a delorean too!)
America's Packard Museum
I didn't know a lot about the Wright brothers (beyond the basics) and this museum had a wealth of information and was really cool to check out!
Wright Brothers National Museum
Located in downtown Dayton, Ohio, this was the Wright's bicycle shop. It's been converted into a museum, and its really well done. They have some great artifacts and a section about how flight has evolved since which I found REALLY interesting.

My husband and I like to refer to this area as a haven for nerds. These were our favorite shops of that sort!
This was a big motivator for me to go to Dayton a few years ago. Located in the Beaver Creek Mall, it's one of the few Pokemon only stores in the United States and they have a LOT. If you're a Pokemon fan, its honestly worth going to Dayton just for ...
Original 151 Pokemon Shop
Run by the same people who have original 151, this shop specializes in anime products. They have a lot of really cool imports.

This is a really great shop that specializes in manga!

Cool places to spend a couple hours exploring or walking around.
Located in the Beavercreek Mall (near Dayton) this is one of the coolest arcades you'll ever go to. It is a chain in Japan that has migrated over to the States.
It has a ton of Japanese games and claw machines. They also do special promos like from Persona 5, Apothecary Diaries and others from time to time.
