Depends, what do you like to do? I may be able to help if you give me a few interests. I moved here from another state a few years ago so I know what you're going through! It's not too bad of a place, unless you have allergies!

The National Museum of the United States Air is a great place to visit ...even if you think you are not that interested in planes. There are hundreds of planes from very old to very new stealth bombers....and it's free...you can spend all day there and it's open 362 days of the year.

If you can't find a lot to do in Dayton you could travel down to Cincinnati.
Check out this site - it has information on all of the attractions in the area.

My favorite things to do with visitors...in no particular order
1 Downtown. Go to the top of the Carew Tower downtown. Great views of the tri-state area. Also, while there check out the Hilton Hotel if you are into art deco and their buffet is good too. The (small private collection of art) Taft Museum is worth a visit - only takes about 90minutes. Fountain square is a construction site right now ..not very pretty.
2. Union Terminal Museum Center - is a great building which you can take a behind the scenes tour for free or go to one of the three museums History of Cincinnati, Natural History or Children's and also the Imax theater is there.
3 The Zoo and Botanical gardens.
4. Go over the river to Newport on the Levee. Newport is a great area to hang out, eat and drink, catch a movie. The Aquarium is my favorite place - great shark viewing. Also you can take a guided climb of the Purple People Bridge if you don't mind heights.
5. Eden Park where you will find the Art Museum and Krohn Conservatory (tropical plants) both of which have free entry.
6. Spring Grove Cemetary and Arboretum. Seriously - great place to walk, interesting history and self guided tours, lots of different plants, trees and birds.
7. Waterparks - The Beach, Coney Island (great place for younger children) , Paramount Kings Island (great roller coasters) also now has a water park as well.
You don't say how old you are or what sort of things you like to do but there should be something of interest here.
