About this campground

The visitor center at Wright Brothers National Memorial is the best place to start your visit to the national park. The visitor center offers trip planning information, a park store, and detailed hands-on exhibits that bring the invention of the Wright Brothers to life. Not to miss, is the reproduction 1903 flyer in the Flight Room. Here, you can see up-close what the flyer looked like, and explore the workings of powered flight.

Getting there

The Wright Brothers Visitor Center is located to the northwest of the main parking lot after entering the park. The park entrance is along US 158 in Kill Devil Kills, a town on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
