Dayton Airport (DAY) is an international airport situated 10 miles north of downtown Dayton, Ohio. It is one of the fastest growing airports in US handling more than 1 million passengers a year. Moreover, this airport is the third busiest and third largest in Ohio.
Getting Around Dayton
Transport system from Dayton Airport to any destination in Dayton and Ohio at large is just like a walk in the park because it is very efficient and there are varieties to choose from. You can go for a public transportation service, a taxi or a shuttle bus. However, if you were looking forward to explore this amazing city and its regions to the fullest, I would strongly recommend that you rent a car from one of the several car hire companies at the airport.
What to do and see in Dayton
- National Museum of the U.S Air force: Whether you are alone, with family or friends, this is the best place to be. How would you like it seeing everything that flies from WWI to the moon and beyond? Your age and entry charges should not bother you because the attraction has so much to offer all ages free of charge. Any liquid items must be left in the car since they are not allowed past the checkpoint.
- Carillon Historical Park: If you are a lover of history, here is the park that has it all as far as great history around Dayton is concerned. Apart from NCR, Delco and the Wright brother’s third plane, you will also find out why Dayton is called the Gem City. This alone should give you enough reason to rent a car at Dayton Airport
- Dayton Art Institute: If it were possible to touch down at Dayton Airport and start your touring, then you could hire a car and head to this attraction site. Many visitors and locals call it a Dayton Treasure. I believe you would say that is an understatement. It is huge with beautiful collections of Asian, African Pre-Colombia American and European art. The works of artists like Rembrandt, Monet and Degas are also found here.
- Warped Wing Brewery: After a long day of activities, great beers at this industrial building would help you unwind. It is just a short drive away with enough packing space for your rented car. It gets very lively at night with several picnic-style tables and several games.
