“A great museum! More than I expected. We went on Father's Day and they were offering paid rides in an old Packard. My husband and kids LOVED the ride. Staff is very friendly and know their history of cars. There's even a small quiet library with lots of information. The cars are absolutely beautiful and so many cool details. A must see museum if you are in Dayton.”
“It was such a great experience here! Had my elopement here and the place is absolutely gorgeous and a great place to think about doing your elopement or wedding here too. The owner and the girl that helped us was such great help and was wonderful to work with and they was so very sweet and nice.”
“We are so grateful for the help of our wedding coordinator, Judy. We were nervous about remotely planning a wedding in a city we didn't know - that changed after our first meeting with her! We could tell we were in good hands. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure our big day was everything we wanted.
TEC coordinated all the essentials for our event: linens, food, wait staff, bar staff, music, setup in the morning through cleaning at the end of the reception. Judy walked us through all the details and didn't miss a thing. She even made sure we discussed items beyond our TEC package, like flowers and photos, and was able to recommend some wonderful vendors for those services.
Things went perfectly the day of our wedding. All the staff was very friendly and professional. Aside from a brief huddle first thing in the morning, I was free to focus on getting ready with my bridal party. Everything was handled. It was really nice that us and our families were able to just enjoy the day. There's nothing about it I would change.
Thank you to everyone at TEC, it was a pleasure doing business with you!”
“Can't say enough great things about Brightside. Carli and crew do a phenomenal job. Their venue is modular, has multiples for a natural flow for all of a wedding days events, and the space is uniquely Dayton in it's feel everywhere. The staff worked so well with my partner and I and helped to make sure our day was nothing but perfect. They allow the process to be super modular, so no two events feel the same (which is why there is such a wide variety of events there!). And most importantly, Carli and her staff treated us with empathy and respect, which left us feeling seen and supported in a time that felt super tumoultuous to plan a queer wedding. We cannot thank Carli and all of her staff enough for making our day unforgettable, but it was made truly special because we chose to host it at Brightside. For that, we are eternally grateful. Thank you Brightside and everyone involved in this truly one-of-a-kind location.”
“Have had a membership for years and frequently visit. It is a WONDERFUL place to go (repeatedly) with the grandchildren, or not! MANY adventures await: riding the carousel, pressing buttons on the model train display, climbing aboard the ARMCO engine, calling the dentist or florist on the old rotary dial phone, building with Lincoln logs or KNex, sliding down the hill in the tube slides, riding the train around the perimeter of the park, stopping in the print shop for a demo of old print presses (and walking away with a personalized card), eating in the tram in Culp's Cafe, etc. THEN add in the wonder of Carillon Lights during the holidays. This is a truly magical experience! Walking around the park at night when it is lit by string lights and Christmas music is playing throughout the park, hot toddy in hand, is amazing. On my visits to the park I've also seen the bald eagles several times, a pilated woodpecker and a hummingbird. This park has it all!!! Include a meal at Culp's Cafe or at Carillon Brewing with your visit, you won't be disappointed at the quality of food.”
“All I have to say is WOW! I recently attended a candlelight event covering The Beatles and Queen at this location and it was awesome! The venue was super classy and it was a very unique experience. I highly recommend attending any events here”

“This home is loaded with Wright family history. A knowledgable guide was stationed in each room. Located in a beautiful old hilly neighborhood, parking was on the street. It is two stories, furnished with many original pieces. The tour took approximately 1 hour. A real glimpse into the personal lives of these amazing brothers. Not recommended for those with walking/standing issues.”
“Kim was great to work with and the venue was perfect. We had slightly more people show up than anticipated and Kim found creative solutions to accommodate our party and make sure everyone was comfortable.”
“Our wedding reception at the Wright Van Cleve house exceeded all our expectations. The venue's generous space and captivating atmosphere made our celebration truly unforgettable. The owners were fantastic hosts, communicating effectively and catering to our needs with utmost care. We highly recommend the Wright Van Cleve house. Its charm and service make it an ideal choice for any event.”
“Excellent venue for a wedding. Space with do much character and possibilities. Requires Elite catering, but between the venue and Elite, the staff were incredible making this an evening beyond everyone's expectations!”

“We had a birthday party here for my two sons (8 and 6). The party was beyond our expectations and Dan was WONDERFUL! He was attentive to the kids, interactive and even had scavenger hunts and challenges to keep them entertained. Overall a great time and I would rebook again in a heartbeat.”
“We LOVE Busy Kids. My four year old has so much fun but goes through phases of being too scared to go into class (because there might be a new teacher and he does not like change). The teachers are always so wonderful and understanding while trying to help him feel more comfortable. The teachers are attentive and energetic. We had his 4th birthday party there as well and it was fantastic!! They really do take care of everything! Highly recommend!”

“I am a Dayton wedding photographer and one of the official Arcade photographers for Cross Street Partners. I have photographed 238 weddings and only 1 here. It is a great venue with great spaces that fit huge crowds. As a wedding couple you'll love it. As a wedding photographer, I wish I could shoot there more. I photographed every stage of renovation from vacant to fully operational.”
“Was there for a birthday celebration. The place had more than enough room for tables and an area to serve food. Also had a decent sized kitchen to store or warm up additional food. Will look into potentially renting banquet in the future.”
“Very nice space which served as the perfect location for my daughter's post-wedding brunch! Clean, spacious, and reasonable rates! Tucked back in the layout but easy enough to find when guests are told directly across from the Delco Park entrance. Would use it again for sure!”
“Best deli bistro in the area. Great management team in there moving them in the right direction. The food is amazing and the tables have awesome lazy Susan's in the middle which are always fun to sit around.”
“My husband and I went to Montgomery County Fairgrounds event center for the Greater Dayton Home Show to get ideas for the new house we are planning to have built. There were businesses for bathroom remodels, kitchen cupboards, flooring, a mattress business, roofing, etc. We got a lot of great ideas and met some very nice business owners and their employees. We even agreed to get an estimate to replace an old tub for a shower/tub combo in a house we purchased from my mother-in-law's estate that we plan to fix up and rent. We got the estimate two days after attending the home show and the price is locked in for a year. We decided to go ahead with this project. The employee, Ann, from Improve It was wonderful to work with and very knowledgeable.”

“Wonderful stay. As a woman traveling alone on a budget my main concern is safety and cleanliness. Very clean and very safe. Will definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family.”
“Fun place to get some energy out. Staff is friendly and the prices are responsible. It can be busy during times all the schools are out but we came on spring break and it was just 3 or 4 kids.”
“We absolutely loved having our wedding at Grande Hall. The space is absolutely gorgeous, elegant, timeless, and it photographed beautifully. We took pictures throughout the venue, including the vault, 20 Grande, and the rooftop.
Our guests could not stop raving about how stunning the venue was. It truly elevated the entire day and made everything feel special and memorable.
If you’re looking for a venue that wows your guests and makes your wedding day feel unforgettable, Grande Hall is it!”
