The Neon is the BEST movie theater in Dayton, OH. It is the most enjoyable and pleasant moviegoing experience one can have from start to finish...purchase tickets on-line, great location, free parking across the street, sanitized, deodorized to include a highspeed air filtration for cleanliness, charming manager/staff, great prices and the selection of movies is superb ! Sidebar, I highly recommend the Virtual Cinema for those who may be reluctant to venture out.

Axe throwing is a sport in which individuals compete with each other by throwing an axe at a target, attempting to hit the bulls eye as near as possible. We have 11 lanes that each hold six throwers. We are also the only axe throwing business in the world with a party room with private lanes.

This place is one of the newer indoor entertainment venues for Ohio. I stopped by here to check it out over the weekend. The place is located just off I-75 in northern Dayton, Ohio. The complex has one floor, with activities spread out. It is a mix of Dave and Busters, Chuck E. Cheese, and Mall of America. There are numerous arcade type games as well as food options. Several rides are available, including Tsunami, a custom-made VISA family roller coaster. As with other centers of this type, everything is pay as you go. Package deals are available for birthday parties and other groups. There is no pay-one-price option, so this can get quite expensive in a hurry. Employees were very nice, and the complex was very clean. It is a great way for families to spend some time together, especially during colder months when you are not able to get outside.
