The Dayton Society of Natural History is a nonprofit organization that operates two public institutions in Dayton, Ohio: the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery and SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park. At the Boonshoft Museum, visitors can engage in hands-on science activities in the DO-Lab, watch demonstrations in a science theater, and explore live animal exhibits, complemented by immersive displays such as Science On a Sphere and a water-focused interactive. SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park presents an 800-year-old reconstructed American Indian village along the Great Miami River, featuring an Interpretive Center and a schedule of special events. Positioned within the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, the organization serves families, students, and educators seeking science education, cultural learning, and historical interpretation. It is based in Dayton, Ohio, and operates as a relatively small to mid-sized institution. A recent development in March 2026 expanded its planetarium programming with daytime laser shows aimed at younger audiences.
