What a great place! This is a superb memorial to one of the great milestones in history. The memorial is laid out superbly, with the details of the flights laid out across the airfield, marked by stones showing the landings of the first flights made by the Wright Brothers in 1903. The memorial itself looks over the airfield and also the statues of the moment when flight was achieved. Very impressive indeed. Absolute must-see if you're in the area.

I had a dream to visit the amazing place where Wright Brothers took off in their first flight from the windy Kitty Hawk grounds filled with sand. The museum has a replica of the plane they built, some genuine parts and some pictures with narratives. But I expected more, like movies that depict their lives and efforts, and experimental setups that children love to play. Hence it was more of a place for inspiration rather than enjoying amazing artifacts. However, you can drive to the hill from where the flights took off and the adjacent airstrip. All in all, the museum deserves five stars any day.

Really enjoyed revisiting. Visitor center small but nice. Exact points the brothers progressed in thier initial flights are marked by markers. Then can take nice walk up to the memorial located on a hill. Listened to ranger talk. Don't forget to drive to model/statues on other side of memorial. Nice for kids.

Didn't go to the museum on this trip, but walked the grounds and walked up to the monument. The grounds are beautiful and definitely worth walking and exploring. The view from the top of the monument is breathtaking and the statues at the bottom and equally worthwhile and work of art.

Wonderful memorial to this monumental American accomplishment. Visitor center had several displays - but no movie. Outside you can see where the four flights the Wright Brothers took on this memorable day began and ended. Up on the hill to the south is the large monument. Great place to visit and to bring your family.

A fitting tribute to the brothers responsible for first flight! Loved the museum, the guided outdoor tour and the memorial up on the hill. I really wanted to stand where this event took place, and I felt that the museum and memorial was very fitting. It exceeded my expectations.

Great visit. Open in Thanksgiving. Visitors Center very informative and interactive. Friendly staff. Outside of the center are replicas of the camp the Wright Bros stayed in for their flight attempts. Granite markers show each of the 4 attempts in 1903. You can also walk from the Center to the 60’ granite monument up steep paths; or you can drive on the one way loop road and get out and walk up (steep) paths. Great views from the top though to see the ocean and surrounding area. Restrooms not in Center building but in the side. Cost is $10/pp but if you’re a Veteran show your ID or drivers license with designation and free for you and 3 others.

One will leave this place thinking about the inherent danger and the risk the Wright brothers took. As well as their tenacity and grit. Also an appreciation for human innovation. The layout of this place and the ability to see this replica so close is the main treat. It really sinks in how much guts these guys had in making that flight. Walking outside to the markers is a must.

Lots of walking once you leave the museum. I enjoyed the pictures in the museum and the accounts of the first flight. The hill is a long way to walk but you can drive around. There is also a lot of walking if you want to visit the markers for the landing sights. There is a cost to enter the parking lot for the museum.

What a nice little memorial. It is a nice climb to the top of the hill to see the monument -view is lovely! The museum is full of information and history of the Brothers. My favorite is the wall of their family-many know the story of their flight vision but it is nice to see read about their parents and siblings. It is a good balance of things to see outside and inside.
