While you are at Yellow Springs, don't miss going to The [http://www.greenecountyohio.org/outdoor_hiking.html John Bryan State Park] area where there is a lovely gorge, rock climbing, trail hiking and the Glen Helen Nature Center, Willie used to rock climb the wall but those days are over. It is a 30 minute drive from Dayton.
=== Newport Aquarium/Jellyfish Exhibit ===
The [http://www.newportaquarium.com/ Newport Aquarium] is hosting the "largest jellyfish exhibit in the Midwest". There are giant see-through tanks that you can walk around and a new interactive tank where you can make the jellies change colors. There is also a giant wall where you can play tag with moon jellies, areas where you can actually touch sharks the right way, a theatre with tank and divers right in the tanks with the sharks, a theater for watching the feeding of the otters, and aviary, a penguin exhibit. You can be walking and the sharks swim over you in as they circle the tanks. This aquarium is VERY impressive. Willie took her granddaughter before this jellyfish exhibit, however. It is two minutes from downtown Cincinnati, over the bridge into Newport, Kentucky. Allow about an hour from Dayton straight down I-75.
