Children’s Discovery Garden — Wegerzyn Gardens — Dayton, OH

Know­ing that many who fre­quent this site reside in and around Day­ton, and that many of those same peo­ple have young chil­dren, I would like to point you toward the new Children’s Dis­cov­ery Gar­den at Wegerzyn Gar­dens metro-park in Day­ton.  We vis­ited this new attrac­tion over the week­end, and I rec­om­mend it highly.  There is no charge to visit the park, and we man­aged to score a free sun­flower, free bego­nia, a maraca from the music tent, lots of stick­ers and even more great mem­o­ries.  The park was clean, there were help­ful peo­ple every­where, and lots of things to do.  I par­tic­u­larly liked the musi­cal gar­den which had lots of shiny metal objects that you could bang on and lis­ten to.  The drag­on­fly pond and the mini cav­erns were a hit too.  I was amazed that there was no admis­sion fee.  The land­scap­ing was beau­ti­ful, and I really enjoyed tak­ing in the beau­ti­ful hor­ti­cul­tural dis­plays.  My daugh­ter was thrilled with the trip, which for a dad is all that really mat­ters.  We are look­ing for­ward to mak­ing some return trips this sum­mer to see the changes as the plants begin bloom­ing.  If you are look­ing for a great way to spend a morn­ing, check out the Children’s Dis­cov­ery Garden.
