9 Things to do Good for Kids in Kill Devil Hills That You Shouldn't Miss
With water, water everywhere, visitors to Kill Devil HIlls indulge in fishing and crabbing, quiet kayaking, robust surfing or parasailing, peaceful seaside cycling and that favorite, toes-in-the-sand enjoyment of the beach.This barrier island township is the center of the Northern beach and home to about 7,000 year-round residents. Summer welcomes visitors anxious to share the natural landscapes and village-like appeal. Savor long stretches of Atlantic views and silky sands. If you’re a history buff, visit area lighthouses and the National Memorial honoring Wilbur and Orville Wright, who accomplished the first controlled powered flight in 1903. In nearby Kitty Hawk, Seascape Golf Links challenge players with changing elevations and coastal landscapes. A popular day trip just 17 miles to the southwest, the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Elizabeth Gardens and live performances of “The Lost Colony” combine to preserve and present the background of Native American culture and Sir Walter Raleigh’s colonization efforts in the late 1500’s.

3. Wright Brothers National Memorial

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.

Our teen daughter’s favorite putt putt place at North Myrtle Beach so she was excited to see one here at Kill Devil Hills. We arrived at a good time after dinner with maybe two families in front of us. Weather was perfect! This is a fun course with the “train ride” to the top. We recommend you go early because when we were leaving the line had grown to a crazy length all the way into the parking lot. The cashier & staff were all friendly.

My husband and I went here for a friendly game of mini golf! The two golf courses are fun for adults and kiddos. The go kart track is small but worth the money you pay. It was a fun experience! Will do again!

Reviewed By ionesagem - Three Springs, United States
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!
