First off, the $4 entry fee is worth it. We walked around and got to learn about the beginning of flight. It really puts it into perspective when you see in person how far they flew on the first 4 attempts! And the view from the monument at the top of the hill is pretty impressive. I'll probably bring friends... More

The ranger talk inside visitor center was very worthwhile, as were the historical displays, seeing the replica of the plane, etc. Visiting that landscape was very evocative of the event. The video in the addl visitor center also very worth while. Nice gift shop with lots of aviation related books, toys, etc. I wish they hadn't planted grass over the... More

We went to the memorial on our trip to the Outer Banks. The monument itself is impressive and provides a great view of the surrounding area. You can see Jockey's Ridge and the ocean from the top. Inside the buildings they have replicas of the planes and some interesting exhibits. I learned that they sent a piece of the Wright... More

Nice museum & memorial. The best part is sitting in for the "talk". They tell the store of the Wright Brothers and really bring it to life. If you go you must sit in for the presentation. It was wonderful. Beautiful grounds. So glad we went!!

A lot of information about the Wright Brothers and their determination, hard work and perseverance. We learned so much about the birth of aviation and the Park Ranger gave a wonderful presentation - it was enjoyable for all ages. The full size replicas of their first airplanes were amazing. Lots to see, great exhibits inside and you can walk to... More

My wife and friends dragged me to this and I was really surprised and impressed with the museum and presentation by one of the rangers. That guy should by on stage. What a character! Lots of unexpected fun.

This was a must do when in the Outer Banks.. It was so cool to see the viedo and listen to the ranger talks. A piece of history that we should all experience.

Greatly enjoyed presentation by park ranger volunteer! Really made the story and lives of Orville and Wilbur discovery of flight come to life. Can be a hefty trek up to the monument but the museum is a must. Really makes you appreciate seeing a replica of their plane and hearing the story. Don't miss it!

The story is well documented ad there is a park ranger that gives a narrative several times a day. We missed that one. The Wright bros. first made a glider 1902, and then a motorized airplane in 1903, which they named a "flier". It was much later that the name Kitty Hawk was given to the first flying airplane in...
