When you visit the Birthplace of Aviation, you will learn more than just about aerodynamics and the history of airplanes. The city of Dayton, located in the Miami River valley of southwestern Ohio at the confluence of the Great Miami, Stillwater, and Mad rivers, boasts more green space than any other city in comparative size. You will thrill to the Five Rivers Fountains of Lights in Riverscape, the city's newest park, which shoot water 200 feet into the air, at night highlighted in a dynamic laser light show. Catch a concert with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra or a performance of the Dayton Ballet after a day of sightseeing at impressive museums or shopping the local mall.
