TripAdvisor Traveler Rating Based on 4,464 Reviews

Enjoy the newly remodeled visitor center and the interactive activities and exhibits on aviation, historic preservation, and STEAM-based activities (science, technology, engineering, arts and math). Once inside, visitors will embark on a journey through the lives of Orville and Wilbur Wright, exploring their characters, diving into problems they solved and the methods they used that ultimately led to their first flight on December 17, 1903. Inside the Flight Room, visitors will once again be able to view the reproduction 1903 Wright Flyer - the flyer that made history during the first flight - along with a brand new 16-screen video wall! Exploring the grounds gives you an opportunity to see reproductions of the brothers' 1903 camp buildings climb Big Kill Devil Hill to see the nation's monument commemorating the brothers' historic achievement.
