Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Simply amazing to actually see a piece of history still standing!

History started here and I was humbled to have wandered around where it at began for the civil Rights movement.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Atlanta! Free parking is available at the library, and all sites are free to visit. The gift shop next door to the Birth Home was the most well-stocked, if you are looking for a souvenir.

I was seized by a mass of data that allowed me to improve my culture on the subject. Easy to find and nice parking.

Historical place for American black movement, particularly visualizing the neighborhood quality and level of movement started from there

Great museum that demonstrates history so well. They have free movies showing and a large exhibition that I feel everyone would benefit to see and understand. The way that this museum displays and explains history and true life examples is powerful and impactful.

A very worth while experience. Informative and well put together.

Than you for the very interesting visit. Great documentation on Mr King life and struggling. Every surrounding feels like history also.

Free admission, highlights. To do. I highly recommend

East access from downtown via street car, park is a riveting experience

My family went to Atlanta in January, just a little after New Years. We were only going to be there for 3 days. The King Center ended up being so much fun that we went back there for all 3 days.

They have a whole lot of historical traits of doctor king. Very educative

So moving. Went to all the parks. Great experience.

You should do yourself the favor and come visit this exhibit. It is free, and honestly, I am almost offended that they did not charge me at least $10 at the door. If you live anywhere near the area, you should go visit this wonderful place dedicated to a truly exemplar human. His story is well told, his background and world put into context, and each picture worth inspecting and every line worth reading. Schedule a day trip, you might want to be a while. Bravo, bravo.

This place really taught me about what Martin Luther king and other men and women did to be equal with both races

Great museum to learn about a key aspect of American history. Whether you agree or not with what MLK stood for you should visit

Upset we missed a tour cause of early closure (unaware) but next time!

The Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site in Atlanta, Georgia is a great place to visit. It spans several blocks on Auburn Avenue. The site includes several buildings that were important in the life of Dr. King. The Prince Hall Masonic Building was the first home of the Southern Christian Leadership Center which Dr. King worked with. The Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church can be toured on your own and there are informational tours also. The King Birth Home can be toured also.It has been restored to the time of Dr. King's childhood circa 1930- 1940s. The National Park Service visitor Center has wonderful exhibits. One can also sign up for tours at the visitor center. Freedom Hall is located next to the eternal flame and Dr. And Mrs. Kong's Tomb. It houses exhibits on Rosa Parks, Dr. King and Ghandi. There is also a gift shop. When we visited it was the weekend of the 50th anniversary of his death and the events were being broadcast outside at the King Center. There is some parking that is free. This historical site is well worth the visit!!

A place everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Loved it

This was a great experience and the speeches were profound! It makes me as an African American woman proud and appreciate we have such a center to commemorate the sacrifices that was made.

You should definitely visit this place. Msn learns a lot about the whole story around M L KING. A must

Videos and factual information about how the great leaders fought for freedom that made this country great again.

very informative and the staff was very helpful friendly

Enjoyed visiting the various historical spots of MLK.

A humbling pilgramage site for MLK and the civil rights movement. Nobody can do it better than the National Parks Department.

It was so amazing and beautiful. Makes you reflect on what you have and most times don't even appreciate not realizing how many of ancestors fought for these things.

One of the best experiences of my life! Should have came sooner!

I enjoyed my self. I felt so wonderful to be here.. closed my eyes and just thought back 60 years and the struggle.. the dream is still real.

If in the area make this spot "a must"! Be sure to check out the Ebenezer Baptist Church as well!

Such an amazing experience. The tour of MLK JR birth home was absolutely informative and just plain beautiful experience

Great for families, nice staff and lot's lot's of information about the King family not taught in schools.

Learned alot about the Civil rights history that we learned in school. Very moving reenactment of the "I Have A Dream" speech performed by Stephon Ferguson. If you come on a day he his here I highly recommend it.

Make sure you make an appointment. We waisted our time. Apparently there is info in the website. Next door there is a shop with loads of books and other little things. No bathroom available. I had to put 3 small kids to wee on the street in a 32 degrees. For us who stopped in Atlanta to visit the place it was disappointment.

Simply reverent. Thank you Dr. King; rest in eternal peace.

Very nice place to walk and know the history of Martin Luther King Jr.1

Martin Luther King National Historic Site is operated by the Department of Interior National Park Services. The site was founded In 1980, the only federal site that stand along and dedicated to an African American. This site is on Auburn Avenuestreet, this streey was once considered the richest black street in the world. Dr Martin Luther King Jr grew up in Jim Crow American. Whereas, his community was legal segregated. This site has been restored back to Dr. King first twelve years of life, Dr. King lived in this community 12 years, born in his grandfather home, the birthbome.

This is a must do if going to Atlanta. What a great man wish I could have met him

A great place to go, see, touch, experience our countries rich history especially as it pertains to race relations and the fit for access to fair rights.

A must see if you visit the ATL. When my family visits from out of town, this is the first place they want to go.

Good displays inside lots of photos, videos, and quotes. They also have a short movie that plays every hour. If you can't get a ticket to the birth home (the tours full up quick) they offer a video virtual tour.

Breath taking to sit and hear martin Luther king voice as you sit near the eternal flame. Limited parking and the tour to his childhood home filled up before 10 am.

A must visit for everyone no matter the age, race or nationality. Very emotional and informative. There is lots of history here. MLK is the last of his kind, so important to know of him. Take your time, and enjoy.

The site is beautiful and we'll cared for. I would suggest knowing if there are any events it trips planned for the day you would like to go. I did not and had to deal with bus loads of hyper, disrespectful school age kids and adult supervision who were not supervising. Instead I watched the art get mocked, statues touched inappropriately and the adults laugh at their behavior. I don't blame the youth. It's a cultural issue. As I stated before, lots to learn here.

This was a great experience to meet Mr. MLK daughter.She is so nice I would recomendbcoming here for church I also learned some things I didn't know about

Very educational. Good for family and school set if, you want to learn history.

Amazing history and the people are so welcoming. It is a have to see.

The tour of Martin Luther King's birth home was a beautiful and emotional. To touch the bannister on the staircase that he and his family touched was amazing to me. It needs to be experienced. The tour guides were friendly and kept everything moving smoothly.

Very sad, but very moving. It does a good job of showing how far we ve come but how far there still is to go.

Visiting in the middle of the current political climate added a layer of sadness to the visit, which doesn't take away from the experience at all, but certainly gives you a lot to think about when reading about the struggles of African Americans in the 1960s. And no better conduit to learning about that than Dr. King.
