National Park Service

Participate in park programs like "Fun in Flight".

Visit the Wright Brothers Visitor Center where the Wright brothers’ story is told through exhibits.  

On display in the visitor center are:

• a full-scale reproduction of the 1902 glider,
• a full-scale reproduction of the 1903 flying machine, 
• an engine block from the original 1903 Flyer, and
• a reproduction of the Wright's first wind tunnel.

Additional exhibits, movies and educational programs are available in the Centennial Pavilion.

Climb Big Kill Devil Hill for a breathtaking view of the area from sound to sea. Atop the Hill, stands the 60 ft. Pylon - the site where Wilbur and Orville conducted their glider experiments.

Stand on the same spot where the brothers made their first flights. A large granite boulder marks the spot where the first plane left the ground.

Visit the park via plane and land at the 3,000 ft. First Flight Airstrip. Spend a day visiting the place where flight started.
