Park where visitors can see a replica of the Wright Brothers' plane and receive an entertaining history of flight.
Reviewed By PHLee7ca - Ellicott City, United States
We visited this attraction on a sunny Saturday in October. The cost was $10/adult and lots of free parking. We first walked around the grounds and saw the old "runway", sheds, and climbed up Kill Devil Hill to see the monument and view of the town. Then we joined the narrated tour by one of the Park Rangers, she was very informative and animated! We then spent the rest of our time touring inside the info. center and got our "passports" stamped in the Gift Store! From the top of the hill, we noticed a full scale scene of the first flight and stopped by on our drive out....very nice, all the "characters" immortalized in bronze along with the plane. A very nice "park", museum and history lesson.

My wife was looking for a very specific piece of driftwood to use as a centerpiece and saw this place as we were driving by. The owner is very friendly. He is knowledgeable of the area and easy going. We thought the prices were fair for everything we looked at in the store. There is a good selection of bird related decor items and a. few turtles and others as well. The driftwood prices were very cheap! Much less than anywhere else we had seen. Nice local place to get some unique pieces.

My husband and I were supposed to do a dolphin watch but the weather and lack of participants had us struggling to find something to do on our last full day in the area. We chose movies and were able to pick one that we both wanted to see. Ample parking. We were surprised that we were not the only people with the same good idea. The employees got the lines going pretty good. I thought that the prices were a little high for a matinee (and senior) but not too crazy. I was very happy that Coke Slushies were part of the menu. Unexpected. And OMG the medium popcorn was huge. It was also very tasty and possibly the best popcorn I ever had. Nicely buttered and salted. By the time we got to our seats I was in heaven. I wish we had left earlier because I love the trailers. My husband doesn't so we left later than I would have but got to see a couple of them anyway. My only complaint was that the change machine was broken. We would have loved to have had our pictures taken in the booth!!!

Mom's is a unique store on the main road that offers shopping including all of the brand name products such as Hershel, Benny Gold, Nike, Adidas, etc. Mom's also sells vintage jewelry and clothing. Also, if you are looking for a cool treat or have a sweet tooth this is the perfect location. The milkshakes and ice cream are extremely delicious. There is a smorgasbord of candy to choose from where you pay by weight. The owners are very active within in the shop and work hard to keep the environment friendly and enjoyable for everyone. I would definitely recommend visiting!
