Although it’s a good idea any time of the year to head to Young’s Jersey Dairy, summer is prime time. There is so much to do at this Dayton-area favorite pastime. Perhaps one of the best reasons to take the kids for a visit is the adults get to enjoy scoop after scoop of some of the region’s best ice cream while the kids play.

🌞THIRD PLACE: National Museum of the United States Air Force
Your kids will not believe their eyes when they step into each of the museum’s expansive hangars. The massive planes will leave a huge, lasting impression on them that will leave them begging to come back again and again. It takes quite a while to make your way through the entire museum, so it is a perfect weekend activity to keep them busy the whole day.
