    Unfortunately, the memorial is only open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. - plan ahead!

      A visit to the site and the museum is exciting. You can see the "equipment" of the first powered flight in front of you. Where "flight" is already a strong word. The markings of the first "flights" carried out give an impression of the short "hops" involved. But height was gained from engine power, and that counted - no matter what distances were achieved. The large monument on Kill Devil Hill from 1932 has a very American patriotic feel to it, but it totally fits the park.

        Great insights with free guided tours by a ranger.

        The original place of the first motorized flights.

        Great for kids is a life size model they can climb on.

        Be sure to visit the interesting museum; Additional American successes are also on display here.

        If you have time, you can follow the interesting explanations.

        Worth a visit.
