Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

As I walked into the Ebenezer Baptist Church, it was easy to envision the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. speaking. A shiver went up and down my spine. There is so much history here that I am certain I could not convey it with these few words.

I was delighted that it was free and there is so much that I did not have time to explore everything I want. One could easily spend hours here; however, the highlights can be experienced in 10 minutes or even less if absolutely necessary.

Overall, it was a highly positive experience!

To follow the path of the Social Liberties in the US you must visit this site. History, memorabilia, recordings of Dr. Kings speaches and all what compromises the civil rights are here. Visitor's Center, Ebenezer Church, Hall of Freedom, The eternal flame, Dr. King's and Correta's Scott King's tombs, the Auburn Firehouse and Dr. King's birthplace house are a mus in your visit.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic museum a place you must visit in Atlanta.

Such a touching and inspiring experience! Must see if you ever visit Atlanta!

It was like going back in time and being there for the life of dr king.

This place telling me how African Americans gave up an stop fighting for there rights but being like the kkk our enemies like wontting to b a police instead of a doctor or later lol it was chains in slavery an it's chains now so clearly you can c it's kkk

This place is a must visit it represents Reverend dr. Martin Luther King jr. And every positive way they were having a international Gathering and I was blessed to be during it it was really awesome people actually traveled internationally for this event there's so much to see and so much to do sitting in his church listening to a sermon by dr. Martin Luther King made my heart feel so wonderful I would do it again

Worth the visit. So glad to see all young people visiting it. One of the greatest men of our history

Nice place to educate yourself about MLK & the civil rights movement

I had a awesome time going to see Martin Luther King History place were he and his wife live made a for them self. And the church he grow up in and also to his own there to. Seen other Africans America man make a difference long on the same team they all made this untied states a better place for all people in this world today. With lots of love Thank you single Renee Badeau

Incredible exhibits. Unfortunately so crowded with schoolchildren you could not get from one location to another. At one point a park ranger asked what the fire code was for maximum capacity as she thought it had been exceeded for that particular building.

It felt good to visit the Museum with two days left for its celebration. Knowing your roots live is very important for a professional future.

Everyone needs to visit this wonderful and free attraction. See the museum, and the childhood home of Dr. King.

Loved the history, artifacts, and memories of that time. It's also a great walk through of what black people indured doing that time.

So glad I got to experience this while I was in town. Incredible experience. It is a must.

Great Place
Great Rememberance

The kids and I enjoyed! Easy to get around and lots of history ti learn about Reverend Dr.MLK, Jr! There was an open house showing/free visit into the family's home.

A great memorial. I encourage everyone to visit and experience it.

Amazing yet somber place. This is a great tribute to an even greater man. Park staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We are already planning our trip back during the summer to see the roses in bloom.

People that come into Atlanta Martin Luther King historical site is a fantastic place to go you learn so much about black American history and their struggles and how they became successful there's a lot of books to read there's a lot of beautiful art work on display you can hear Dr King speaking it just saw

This place is beautiful. Recently updated for the 50th anniversary of MLK's assassination. If you're in the area, you have to check it out!

Very happy to be near greatness. Every time we visited you feel something different a calmness

This place was amazing!! So much to see.. So much history! And its all free! Great for a family outting or even a cheap date. Places to picnic or grab a bite from a near by restaurant. Beautiful landscapes perfect for pictures and picnics.

Very humble to have gone there lots of history to learn the more I go the more I learn. This time went with my Mom and uncle Sonny and the history lesson with them was wonderful.

The best experience ever! When you couldn't find the words to explain to your children how times were back then, when internet pictures, stories, and the history channel wasnt enough, this is thee best hands on, visual way to convey it. We will be back!

My first time in the ATL and my first stop was this amazing place. Very informative and captivating to get up close and look into the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Preserved vintage setting and lots of nostalgia in the air

Very educational to all! A great insight to a man who shaped history. A must see!

Something worth seeing, everything is free, but all is just big walls of text and a bit poor images.

One of the most rewarding experiences in Atlanta! To make it even better it's free and educational!

A must visit site for everyone, whether you live in Altanta or are just visiting! Very emotional and close to heart no matter who you are. Highly recommend visiting the Ebenezer Church and King Jr's birth place while you are there as well.

Very educative visit. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Atlanta.

An epic of a place. Quantum of historical rebirth for all generations.

Free tour, The parking was free also. Enjoyed the House he grew up in. The ranger was funny and educational. Learned a lot of things, the museum was nice too would recommend.

It was an honor to be able to visit on MLK weekend. Visiting all the areas literally gave me the chills. I'll be coming back because I didn't get to tour his birth home or the original Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Awesome place to visit and learn more about MLK, Jr

Pictures cannot be taken in the home of MLK . Upstairs is been restored at the moment so it is inaccessible. Apart from that it is a great experience. A lot of walking will be done so comfortable shoes are a necessity. Wheelchairs are okay, crutches and walkers may cause some inconvenience. Animals, skateboards, and bicycles are not allowed in certain areas. Food is not allowed in most places.

Educational and informative uplifting and inspiring!

There is so much about Dr. King here: his family, his passion, his purpose...you can feel the love, hope & determination in each area. This is a must see for the entire family, blacks, whites....EVERYBODY!

arrived after the museum was closed however the grounds and outside exhibits were worth the stop. in a beautiful historic neighborhood. seeing the ebenezer Baptist church still active was awesome as well

Awesome historic site. Lots of great history and excellent photos.

So amazing to be here. I thought that I knew a lot about this American hero and his life but I discovered so much more in visiting the King Center. Ebenezer Church, and the rest of the area. I left with a renewed sense of the legacy of freedom and activism that has been left to me.

Inspiring. I enjoyed it. Not as great as memphis TN

I enjoyed my visit to the church and the King museum. I was disappointed when I observed a picture of Trump in the museum. He is a racist and is doing all he can to roll back all of the fine work of Dr. King. He should have no place in the museum. He is against everything that Dr. King stood for. Please remove that despicable photo from the gallery.

Unbelievable to be in Ebeneezer Baptist Church. Having been a life-long admirer of Dr. King, it was definitely the experience of a lifetime. My only "wish" would be for a safer feeling walk from the MARTA train station to the Historic Site. My son and me were stopped numerous times by homeless panhandlers, some even handing out pamphlets and claiming to represent the Historic Site, and asked for money. The walk from the train station to the historic sites certainly wouldn't be something that I would want to do after dark, especially if I were unfamiliar with the area. I think the entire experience would be much better with some form of transportation from the train station to Auburn Avenue.

A very successful place of memory and paying a beautiful and deep tribute to Martin Luther King.
A museum part allows to understand the period and the context, as well as the fight of MLK.
Then we can go to the neighborhood of his childhood which has been fully preserved and maintained.
His grave is in the middle of a large basin.
it's very addictive.

Great wheelchair accessibility as long as you can find a spot to park. Easy and flat walking.

Very educational, and organized on behalf of the Visitors Center. Didn't have to do a lot of thinking or planning as far as what direction to go first because they have times for guided tours. Lots of Security guards, gift shops and places to eat.

It a whole area dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King. You have to go and experience the feel you have when you go to some of the same places he has been went stood and preached.

A historic and very memorable experience. Parking is usually free and could be found at the lot or on the streets. Everything except merch is free. Daily tours fill up super fast. Try to be there between 9.30-10am to book a convenient time for your tour else you can check back 10-15 mins before every tour and see if slots open up. The entire experience from touring the museum and then the actual MLK house is better felt than told. Enjoy!

If you are even a minute late to pick up your ticket for the house tour, don't bother going. I was disappointed to learn my tickets had been given away only 5 min past scheduled arrival time (due to parking, so beware to incorporate it!) I understand rules are rules, but the lack of sympathy and accomodation from the security guard was very distasteful. The fact that he tried to argue and justify his actions was alarming, falsely claiming that he waited 10 min when it was 11:35am! Sucks to be a first time Visitor from out of state.

It was beautiful and very knowledgeable I learned a lot.
