Yes I m sure you could bring bikes. I would also think you could fly kites on the back side of the tall monument as that is very much like a park area environment. Heck bring the kits start to fly them and see if what happens.

That should not be a problem. Though much of the memorial is outside, and the actual memorial is atop a large dune, the museum is single story with easy access. I took my mother there often while she was using a walker, and later a wheel chair.

There is a little walking, but it is mostly flat and takes little time during the tour. If you walk the hill to the monument, it can be steep in places, but a short distance. Elderly and kids can do it, no problem, just keep the heat and sun exposure in mind.

The visitor's center is open and operational. It looks exactly as it did before. I don't know what they did to "renovate" it but the admission has doubled.

Yes...my husband pulled out his National Park Pass at the front gate and they waved us through. Once you park, there are no more fees beyond that.

Its free

It is all done at your leisure. When we went this summer, the visitors center was getting remodeled, so there is a smaller one that takes about 15 minutes to see. We drove to the statue and walked up and then walked to the model plane. That just took us about 30 minutes. We then drove to the markers, which again just took about 30 minutes. We didn't attend the talk.

Yes it does. $10 per adult and children under 16 are free.

I took my 11 year old boy there a few weeks ago. Understand that there is really not a lot to see there that would be captivating for a young child. It's a huge field with a couple of small barns. There is also a large hill with a monument on top. Adults will love it just for the fact that you will be standing on the birthplace of flight - but this experience gets lost on most kids. The temporary visitors center is OK but really just a small gift store. All that being said, I would still take your boys - just set expectations!

There is a temporary Visitor Center erected to the south of the main building. It is absent the full scale model, of course. The permanent center is under major refurbishment and is planned to reopen by Labor Day. The building was in great need of much work. Still, there is a lot to see on the grounds, which offers a great opportunity to stretch you legs. The climb up Big Kill Devil Hill to the monument will test a sedentary person.
