Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Visited as part of our tour itinerary. starting with the old church where Dr King's father and grand father were pastors and he himself preached. Listened to part of sermon on tape and had a short talk from guide who pointed out the stained glass windows with portraits on his two forebears.Then to rose garden and museum across road. The museum had lots of photographs and descriptions and a number of video commentaries all going at the same time.I admit I had not realised or had forgotten of Jimmy Carter's involvement. I could easily have spent 2/3 hours here but had very limited time. Finally back across the road and to the site of Dr King's tomb and the eternal flame. Definitely a must in Atalanta. Very sad and moving experience and I have doubts in my mind that America has truly moved on much since those horrendous days, though I hope I am wrong.

This was the most awesome experience I've had in a long time. I'm glad I had the chance to go on this great day!

Impressive memorial. The pond was undergoing a restauration.

I enjoy the historical landscape and overall experience.

Always love to visit and learn on each visit about the Black struggle in history that I didn't learn in school.

Very interesting and steps into great history of a great man!

Beautiful atmosphere with the burials of him D. King and Mrs. King. Great knowledge.

Touching interesting historical information. I love come in with my son

I loved the visit to the birth place of Martin Luther king Jr National Park I have never visited ATL before it was was very knowledgeable and enlightening experience

History unbelievable part of American History that everyone should have a chance to experience if at all possible

Very historic place. The world needs more people like MLK

Great place to visit. Tons of history. I take family members who have never been when they come in town.

Very informative & interesting.. Learned a lot more about an incredible man who changed the world.m

Great monument to an amazing man who gave his life to change the world.

It keeps us in remembrance of what King fought for and why we should all still be fighting against injustice.

Great experience, a place everyone should go to see.

Museum was a little disorganized and should have a better way to tour the home site as it was full and people were heated about seeing it

It was free of charge, most information is the same as at the museum of civil rights.

Must visit, this was an incredibly moving experience.

Great place to visit to learn about MLK. You learn something new even if you are pretty familiar with the civil rights history!

Everyone was so informational. We had a great experience.

I was very impressed with this place and emotional. Wonderful and very educational

Martin Luther King Memorial. Revisit the story and discover this great man in the neighborhood where he grew up. The entire neighborhood is talking about this man and his fight for justice and the law.
Historic place to visit while in Atlanta.

This monument to MLK was sobering. The exhibits detail his journey in great detail, and give a good feel for what it must have been like for him to go through those difficult times. His tomb is right across the street and you can visit his childhood home if you get there early enough.

There is plenty of parking across the street but it is a little confusing as to how you get into it. The exhibit and monuments are all free to the public, which really makes this stop a must see.

I visted this walking tour during the 1st wek of Aug. in Atlanta. It is a 2 1/2 hour tour and well worth it!!

Make sure you wear a cap, comfortable tennis shoes, a bottle of water, and a small towel to wipe your perspiration.

Joy, our tour guide is Awesome!! She is very friendly and knows her history regarding Martin Luther King, Jr. and the historic Old 4th Ward.

I took sooo many pictures, and learned sooo much!!

Some of my pics:

The World Peace Garden designed by his Beautiful wife Coretta.

Ebenezer Baptist Church were he co-pastored with his father.

The clock that stayed on 10:30, the beginning of his funeral

His birthhome.

The carriage that carried his casket during the procession.

Madame C.J. Walker's Beauty Salon.

Oh wow!!! Just an AWESOME tour!!

I had an awakening experience! I felt the presence of my ancestors as soon as I entered the church sanctuary. Overwhelming must visit!

A memorable moment! I should have been here a long time ago!

what a inspiration story of great leader Martin Luther King, Jr. He inspired from Gandhiji. By non-violence you can achieve and force a great change in society.

i miss martin he was such i great man when he got shot it was sad

At the king center, very powerful and inspirational!

Very nice memorial to a great man and an even better idea

Really interesting place. Well worth a visit. Free.

Fascinating and breathtaking sites and scenery! To be able to visit a historical place due to the care and humility of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an honor. Several beautiful rose bushes surrounding the area. Walking into Ebenezer Baptist was extraordinary. A must visit place in Georgia.

Wonderful feeling just being in the presence of the King

I love going here and to museums in general but when i went to this district it touched my heart. I enjoyed learning about the place Martin lived at a point in time.

This is very well done and a moving experience. The videos were very powerful, both of Dr. King and of others. It was like pulling off a band-aid and finding gangrene. Feel like I understand this time in history better, although it is heartbreaking and painful to review.

Lots of his history, some I knew, and some I didn't. Here with family.

It is a very historic and a must go place if you are new to the city. Well maintained and staff were real nice. The house tour was also great!!

This was our third time and each time we came my children learned something new

Loved it! Awesome part of history! Staff was awesome

A good place to visit for your own personal gratification. Just to know that you visited the home memorial of Dr Martin Luther king Jr.

Talked about the things that happened back in the 1920s. Very serious facts about Martin. They also have a video made by Renee King (born in 2008) that talks about Martin, Coretta, Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter, and everyone else.
