Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

I visited the Martin Luther King Junior national historic park (free) with no expectations of what to find and came away changed. What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful man who spoke of peace and harmony. The museum was put together in a logical timeline with interactive displays, great videos, and room for many visitors to stand in one area and experience the legacy of Martin Luther King together. I appreciated that unity. The displays left me touched in a positive way and wishing that people of all nationalities, color, gender, religion could get along in the way that Martin Luther King preached and led. He was and is a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Thank you for this terrific National park.

If like me, you happened to unfortunately find yourself in Atlanta, then going to this place is not the least constructive way you could spend your time before you are able to escape.

What a great and sobering experience. Loved every minute we were there. Make sure to go for church on Sunday at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Awesome.

I was honored to be here. The presence in the area was amazing and just knowing I was in the same place, on the same ground as these activists made me so emotional. I was just visiting, and I knew I couldn't leave without visiting. The memorial is so beautiful, it's an experience I'm grateful for and won't ever forget I'll be uploading footage from my visit on my YouTube channel soon @ Lenish Loves Makeup

Very cool. Would have been nice to actually enter museum..

Very emotional moment!! I am glad that I got to experience this.

Beautiful experience. The MLk center is we planned out and laid out, enjoyed seeing the stories of people who knew Dr. King.

Wonderful memorial. Excellent educational experience.

It's impressive. The church atmosphere is wonderful

A place that tells about Martin Luther kings struggle

Just amazing. Take the time to go and spend time seeing everything. So much to see. Us seriously a day event. I finally found someone to go with and it was worth it! I will be back again! Just so nuch to see. I woukd suggest starting at the visitors center to get a map and the info on all of the places. His home is the only one that needs a tour scheduled and they are not often every day. Be aware that goigle brings you out at his father's church. The big one! I suggest parking in the back and wallking the back way to the visitors center. You will see a statue of Gandhi. Walk don the pathway on the right of him keeping his back to yours and you will find the visitors center in that building on your right. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

Was a blast and educational for the kids. They can even be sworn I'm as official park rangers!

It was truly amazing, to be in the church,where dr.martin Luther king,and father king spoke.It was really an honor.I enjoy it.

Extremely interesting and am so grateful the King family opens their doors and makes this Historical location s "Free" admission, so many can enjoy and learn the history of MLK.

Amazing history and amazing man. Ebenezer Church plays many of his sermons while you can sit and listen

Very informative and interesting museum to visit. It immerses you into the atmosphere of the era with video and displays materials. Must visit place to understand life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

So much history, everyone should visit this historical place and get some KNOWLEDGE of their past so we can walk in our future.

Great museum to explore with cool exhibits on fighters for peaceful resistance and nonviolence!

An educational experience for the entire family. There is a wonderful orator who speaks in the basement of the church and gives the history of the church. He recites Dr. King' s "I Have a Dream" speech and it is phenomenal.

This was my second time visiting. I was amazed as if it was my first time. We decide to take our children here for one of our spring break activities. All of the children had a great time. I recommend that everyone comes to experience this place at least once. It's a wonderful way to teach a person about their history and rich culture.

Historic place. Special to revive the sites where this great fighter of civil rights, he created his struggle.

Great Great Great!!
A must is the Restaurant after you have toured. Criole, Southern, french a variety and all fresh. Collard Greens were banging. You will spend but believe me it was worth it!

Amazing to be right there an it's apart of my history makes you feel prideful

Who would have thought that we would ever have to social distance or be it may; not to get to close to one another. We dwell together on one accord in unity peacemakers in a "U-N-I-T-Y" fashion. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. words of inspiration are truly felt today . At such a time as this... We are compelled to come together in 2020' to remember our community ,civic and national leaders. 1 Congressman John R. Lewis, Rev. C. T. Vivian, Rep Elijah Cummings and Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery. Biblically speaking from the Book of Ecclesiastes. A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. We are now certainly are in a time to [refrain from embracing]. Sadly due to this covid-19 virus, aka global pandemic.
I can still find it great joy to come back to this peaceful [tranquil ]place in the Sweet Auburn District.

Best experience and each time ive been ive learned something new thankyou to mrs coretta scott king for keeping dr.kings dream and building a memorial for the world to know what a wonderful and powerful person he was

Everyone should visit here for Black History facts.

The kids that are growing up now need to know what other went thru to try and make it a better place for the African American.

Very moving hearing Dr King's words where he spent much of his life. Skip the movie.

I ve been here twice every it has been:-
1- experience of joy
2- sadness
3-triumph/victory
A feeling that comes naturally and all the time

It was a great experience and was on my bucket list for awhile.

I was elated to experience the tour and see the place where Dr. King was raised and worshipped. This trip for my family was a very historic one I m proud to say I saw it all. I m thankful for the experience and to teach my children about a great man. This area generally has a lot of visitors and parking is hard to come by. Be sure to bring cash for the lots nearby, try to get there early bring water and a light snack. The summer was very hot, comfortable shoes and clothing is best. Lastly, enjoy this experience with your family!

Excellent memorial to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You can tour the house he grew up in. I recommend booking tickets online ahead of time to plan your trip better. Admission is free for everything ! You can also tour Ebenezer Baptist Church! If your in Atlanta make sure you visit!

It really a good place to be with family and it free of charge with guide the security guard are very friendly I had a good time here

This place has to be a first stop for anyone traveling to Atlanta. The house and the whole block have restored houses to the time when MLK Jr. was growing up there. The historic Ebenezer church has an immersive way it is set up. They place sermons of MLK Jr. in the sanctuary, so you can feel what it was like to sit in services on a Sunday morning back then. If going on the weekend, I recommend traveling early in the morning. School groups will be out there, and if you want a tour then try to get there before they do.

Great museum of Martin Luther King Jr's teachings. It was a powerful message then and still is now. Lot of history here with his Nobel peace prize and his resting grounds lay beside the center. All in all, a memorable visit.

They've updated this Park since Mrs. King death. It's a wonderful way to pay respect and homage to the Kings.

A place & involvement thats as important as any of the great monuments that represent the heritage of people of the
United States. It was birth for a reason, some are living out of its birth, with deeper reasons to advance forward for righteous reasons for all American people.

A great moment of immersion into the civil rights movement history.

Very educational and touching. Great place to take the kids and family to teach them about it in person. They'll learn more by having the hands on experience

Beautiful and very complete monument in respect and tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. (in addition, also to Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks and others) for their determined and tireless fight for civil rights and against the segregation of people of color black in the USA.

This is an Atlanta treasure
When you visit it together
With family and friends
From near and from worldly ends
It is where the world visits & learns
About the World of MLK
In your own, kind way
Say hello
To other fellows
Say I'm from here
Which is near

Great peaceful place with lots of things to explore

This place is absolutely remarkable. It provides abundant information on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement.

This is a must go to site. Got to learn so mush. It really is an eye opening to see how far we have come as an African American but still the fight is not over.

Best experience in my life I would love to go again
