A fascinating panoramic view from the top of the hill to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. You can watch planes take off and land at WPAFB. There are many large oak trees. Really quiet and peaceful for picnic.

Very nice place aesthetically. Nicely kept grounds. Respectful memorial to the fathers of flight. Would be a very nice place for a family picnic, or even a picnic for two. Wonderful vistas. For a small interpretative center it was extremely informative. There is a lot of information well presented. A hidden gem in Dayton Ohio. Dont miss this!

This park isnt big, but I really like it. My family used to come here when I was young. If you go all the way to the back, theres a wall you can sit on and watch planes take off and land at Wright Patt. There are many large oak trees trust are dropping acorns like crazy right now. There is also a nice little museum which is currently closed.

The memorial itself is impressive, and its location on top of a hill makes it a wonderful place for plane-spotting in the area. The commanding view gives you nice views of the Dayton area too. The informational placards were interesting. This is a part of the overall aviation heritage trail in the greater area and totally worth a visit. Worth mentioning too that the park was spotless, and I mean SPOTLESS. The parties responsible for the upkeep of this park are on point.

This just a small memorial but a great deal of History it is from the very Hill that they continued their research after Kitty Hawk if youre in the area and doing Wright brothers tours it is definitely worth stopping

Beautiful memorial. And the surrounding area is lovely with large trees and an overlook of the dam.

Nice Quiet park. With great views. Nice museum to

Great view and a quick history lesson. Madeline is a hell of a park ranger too going above and beyond for visitors! Check it out for sure if visiting Dayton.

Very nice and well maintained park. Beautiful view from the top of the hill.

Its a fantastic memorial park. However, it needs more sidewalks and footpaths and maybe a shelter as well. Ive been here a few times when it rained and I think it needs a shelter.

Quiet and good views but not much to really do

Wonderful and beautiful place! I will go back.....

This is super nice area to go for a walk.. there is nice path that connects to the dam acoss the street and its all paved so would highly recommend.

In my opinion it woukd be a great place for get togethers, baby showers, family parties, etc... It is a little smaller than expected but a very beautiful place and very educational. Extremely peaceful and is also an awesome place to go by yourself to clear your head and enjoy the view.

A beautiful little hideaway on the top of a hill.

Aviation bluffs will appreciate the value of this historical spot. Words cannot describe the breathtaking view of the Air Force base and surrounding area. Plenty of plaques in the area to get a quick history but the museum next door is worth a trip inside, with historical artifacts, movies and displays to give you a taste of what the area has to offer visitors. The nearby Air Force museum should round out your day too!

Nice enough park, wondering if you can still fossil hunt here

Cool place to sled or watch the c17 s touch and go

Wonderful site of Aviation history. A bit off the beaten path, but so well worth the visit. The Park Rangers are very helpful and friendly. Take time to see their film. Free admission.

Nice memorial. Very knowledgeable staff. Not so busy that you can not take your time to look at the displays. There is a nice virtual flight simulator as well. The tribute to all the Early Birds is nice. There are picnic tables by the mounds to sit and eat a nice picnic lunch

A beautiful wonderful area I enjoy this lot of history. I learn.

Beautiful view. Very clean and well maintained.

Very cool place to visit as its on a bluff where you can see Huffman Field and Wright Patterson. Very interesting is the list of pioneer pilots.

Very peaceful.

Really quiet and peaceful, although theres a lot of noise from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Two HUGE jets flew over us and into the base while we picnicked... really impressive!

Don’t miss this small but informative museum on the Aviation Trail.

Theres a smallish museum with a live person, exhibits and bathroom but there highlight is the actual grounds and views of what is now weight Patterson air Force Base where the first actual flights too place. Sorry North Carolina.

Great hill for sleding here, kids loved it!

This is a place that overlooks great historic locations in the Miami Valley

Very informative and well-done up. Pretty small little museum, but well worth the stop.

I would not consider this place a must see. But it is worth visiting. If you are not going to make the short drive to the Huffman Prairie, then consider visiting the memorial insteadThere is a very nice overview of the surrounding area a well as another great museum about the Wright Brothers. If course, this one focuses on their time spent experimenting at the prairie field.

Hard to find but nice visiting it. Nice tribute to 2 great men.

Very good seen 4 transports take off and land .

A very discreet and quiet setting for a National Park Service destination. Lots of Rich history in the museum and very nice Rangers available to help. The outdoor walk in view of the area of Dayton and the spread of the valley where flight was perfected makes this one of the more breathtaking advantages in the greater Dayton area

Best overlook around!

Great view point over Huffman Prairie, nice visitor center for the Dayton Aviation History Park

A gorgeous location, plenty of shade trees and quite a few various memorials to look at.

Such an amazing place. No fee to get in, plenty of very well-kept walking paths and a few trails through the woods. I find myself coming here 3-4 times a week!

Love this place cause of the awesome ancient burial mounds, nice view and in the right season, mystic one-with-nature feeling! The memorial itself goes well with all this and memorializes the Indians as well. The museum is quaint but surprisingly full with a staff ready and willing to help!

What a great spot. When we stopped the interpretative center was closed but we were able to explore the entirety of the memorial and grounds. I wish I lived closer just to be able to visit. An expansive grassy area with picnic tables and lots of trees. The overlook area and path is loose gravel which might be difficult for some people. At the overlook there are plaques explaining what is viewable and where those things are.

Super nice for small ceremonies

Very interesting...nice facilities...great ranger tour

The Prairie is in full bloom right now and very pretty.

A very well maintained and run historical site.

The view is great, the cool breezes and listening to the birds. Watching couples go hand hand, smilingly at each other. Treating folks with a warm hello. Yeah its a great place to see all . Also great to eat lunch here too.

Great place for excellent quality sushi, at reasonable orice

Not as great as Airforce museum. But since it is in close vicinity to the museum, worth a visit knowing the history of wright brothers

Great for grabbing lunch and going for a walk thru Woodland Cemetery checking out our favorite headstones and visiting some famous gravesites like the Wright Brothers or the Erma Bombeck Boulder etc..

Very nice area to watch planes take off from the AFB. The memorial is a great place to learn about the history of the Wright brothers!

Great place to visit .

Wright Brothers Memorial Park is a truly unique respite from the surrounding businesses and schools. Theyre prehistoric Indian mounds and views of the Wright brothers original Airfield. You can also see the Huffman Dam and find out some interesting information about local history. Its had a national park museum thats open regular business hours as well.

Beautiful and beautiful views..

This is a great little place to get a history lesson about the Wright brothers.

Pretty view

Lots of local history. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

A nice hilltop memorial, featuring several signs around the perimeter of the spire. The signs point to various areas of significance, including a couple ancient mound builder sites. An overlook of the Huffman Dam, Huffman Prairie, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is also a neat little spot. Be sure to visit the good folks running the Dayton Aviation Heritage Nat. Historical Park visitor center that is also on this hill.

A great place to take you family and recap history..

Recommend stopping by here. The rangers were all nice and the little museum has some good information about the Wright brothers. Nice place to waste a hour if youre nearby. Easy walk to the monument and to the lookout area.

My family and i have been there many times we always loved it there

Such a beautiful place. A great educational place to take the family & make a day of it.

Got there just before closing but the ranger was super nice and took me through the ranger program... If youve kids, its something you should look into, too

Very moving if you are a pilot like me

The museum next to the memorial is definitely wirth the visit

Nice piece of local history!

Never knew this was here! Cute gift shop with all kinds of Wright brothers stuff and National Park stuff too! Staff was friendly and the plaques around the park were very informative! A must see for history lovers!

Self Service; Dropped in for pix

This memorial stands in the Huffman Prairie where the Wright Brothers tested their airplanes. In 1904 took off and landed in the same spot, and actually controlled airplanes for the first time. A worthwhile spot for anyone remotely interested in flight.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.......but what do two wrights make?!? The first airplane :))

This is a beautiful site with real historical significance. Park staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Beautiful overview of the Wright Brothers flying field, WPAFB and the Huffman Dam.

Awesome!

Nice little memorial to the Wright Brothers operated by the National Park Service. Has some content regarding Wright-Patterson Air Force Base as well as early flight. Great hill to sled down in snow.

Peaceful with good views

A nice place and a great vista to see Wright Patterson air force base

Really cool area only accessible by bike or foot. With such rich history in flight in Dayton this little gem is tucked away just north of Area B of Wright Patterson AFB. A must see for any flying enthusiast.

Beautiful memorial

This place is okay. The visitor center is small but has some good info. Nice views from the top. Huffman Prairie is only minutes away.

Great view of base and surrounding area. Great historical site.We go often at sunset.

Great Museum, Great Price (Free)! All the Rangers were great with my kids, kind and helpful.

A calm place to remember the heroes.. but couldve maintained this site better.

Very nice run by the National Park Service, small but informative museum.

Very nice employees who know their history well. Great place to take kids too.

Ranger Kathleen was fantastic, she made the place even more fun. Thanks

Neat history

So nice and so historical, you can almost see them there

Nice summary of the events relating to the flight at Huffman Prairie. Great view.

Great place to learn about the Wright brothers

All the park rangers are helpful and welcoming. Theres a beautiful overlook and plenty of tables, perfect for a picnic.

These guys deserve perhaps even more...

Part of the National Parks system, this is a great park with an interpretive center, picnic tables, and one of the highest points in Dayton to take in the view of adjacent Huffman Dam, Huffman Prairie, and the Wright-Patterson AFB runway.

A must place to see and surrounding area!

Great place to have a picnic and view aircraft taking off.

Nice spot with a good view.

Very cool

Nice to know the history of flight

Great piece of American history; figuring out how the Wright Brothers got to Kitty Hawk (and why) and Montgomery, Alabama (and why) is part of the fun.

Be sure to visit the short trail to the west if you want a quick nature fix at lunch. :)

This is a very nice place to come and explore.

Its free, has a great view, and the indoor portion of the museum is very informative.

Cool place!

Great place to see
