Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

I wish I had the opportunity to meet Dr Martin Luther King Jr I'm sure he was a good man and I want you to know that I really love him and I do watch his movies and everything

Wonderful, wonderful, and wonderful. I could feel l the present of the past. Very powerful. Young people, especially young men, need to study their history so that they can gain a sense of pride. Simply wonderful. Thank you King family for your sacrifice.

It was great to see A combo of Dr King & Mr Gandhi being celebrated in the same spot.

Very nice place to take your kids for more history knowledge. We loved it.

This was a bitter sweet experience because u remember like it was yesterday. All that he has preached and how we are so divided now. He would truly be upset. We need to learn to stick together and be united as we stand.

Good museum ... great staff , relaxed and friendly ... free ... Also tours for Dr King's birth home can be organised here

I really enjoyed going to this museum which includes Martin Luther King Jr.' s birth site/childhood home, his church, his burial site, and a museum on civil rights. I liked that there was an emphasis on the role his wife played in his life and in the Civil Rights Movement. That role is often forgotten in other museums, but there she is given credit for what she has done.

Absolutely Amazing time here!!! First time ever visiting

I HAD to visit. I was BLOWN away with everything I was able to see and experience. The spirit that overcame me was surreal. Being able to see and to FEEL these monuments was something that only YOU should experience. I HAVE to go back when time permits as I was on a tour with limited time. I cried tears of understanding and pain and being connected.

This place is full of history. It was worth the trip.

The Best Experience of all time. Educational and honorable

A smaller national historic site, the MLK house is worth a brief visit, but there's really not much to see. Budget an hour at the most to see the house. For some, just coming by to snap a picture may even be enough.

The experience was amazing, if you can PLEASE TAKE YOUR KIDS...

This is a must for all people Truly a wonderful experience.

Great place, a must see while visiting Atlanta. Nice and informative. Good history and heritage

Very Historic in Civil Rights Movement. Well maintained facility...MLK Jr. Day 2018 parade marshall...

Rich and educational. Loved my experience there while I was in town for a job interview.

Several points of interest on the site: his birthplace, the "historic" church of the family, his grave. Worth half a day.

Wonderful documents and shows how MLK and the people of that era changed the course of human history for the better in this country and the world in the face of ignorance/evil.

Be sure to get the free tickets before going to the house otherwise u can not get in. Great experience

Such an amazing celebration of his legacy and reminder we cannot give up the fight.

Phenomenal! Every Black person in this country needs to visit.

History is important to enjoy and remember especially MLK. They do a great job of explaining his meaning for history of this country. Everyone should go.

Get tickets for the birth home early. They often go fast.

Definitely read and use the information given under Plan Your Visit on the nps.gov/malu website. Especially if you're driving to the park and or will need to park your vehicle, once you arrive...
Because using any of the street addresses may take you to the wrong location depending on the online map service, your phone or GPS unit.
If the latter, then use the given GPS coordinates in your unit for best results...

And NOTE: That the entrance to the visitor parking lot is located on John Wesley Dobbs Avenue.

Once you arrive at the parking lot it's a short walk across Irwin Street and then down the Promenade to the Visitor Center. (See attached)

BTW, they have a great Junior Ranger booklet, but it seems to need some updating or someone needs to reorder the "patch" that it states you will earn upon completion.

Tons of great history and knowledge! I would love to visit again.

Great place. Our kids had never been and they enjoyed it.

Wow what an amazing visit it was my third time but the first time where there was no crowds. Perfect day. If you can plan this offseason it's a fantastic visit. And a bargain because most of the attractions are no cost.

I cried the entire time! Smh
Moving experience

The entire Martin Luther King Areal is very well located, also the district itself is worth seeing. Unfortunately, the opening hours in the afternoon are a bit short, so you should not plan a visit too late.

I love the rose garden...the quotes of the children in the garden just grabs my heart....AMAZING!!!
The site gives you a nice interactive review of history... A sense of peace among everyone while you explore and review history...I also find it interesting to see the different emotions on the faces of the people visiting the site...

The museum was memorial and motivated me to do more.

It's a very nice space, but the visitor center is very difficult to follow. There's lots of information, but the way it is presented makes absolutely no sense. Theres no order to it. There are six little mini rooms with a video and seemingly unrelated information around the walls. We still enjoyed it and reccomend it, it could just use an update.

A very cool place with a lot of information on things everyone needs to know happened, so they will never happen again.

Amazing place with great insight into the lives of one of the greatest individuals in history M.LK. Jr.

Excellent...if you have an opportunity to go do it! Be sure to have your walking shoes

Spent nearly 6h and could've done more still. Superb museum and memorial!

This place is historical and you experience the civil rights movement in a captivating way.

Very organized place, beautiful and interesting story!!! Thanks to MLK for never decline for always work for peace and equity

WHAT AN INSPIRATION TO SEE, HEAR AND EXPERIENCE THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE REV. DR. AND MRS. MLK, JR.

Excellent chance to get caught up on exceptional aspects of American History.

Loved this place definitely a must see. Good to see this great man's work immortalized and a reminder to keep it going.

It was like walking back in time. Living his struggle for millions of people freedom and basic rights we take for granted today.

It's always interesting to learn about the beginnings of great people. I saw Martin Luther King, Jr. as a child on the tour of the house where he was born and lived as a child. Excellent tour guide.

Very moving landmark. Also very well maintained. A must see.

Its a place for all human beings to visit and understand more about our past to structure our future.

Very telling piece of history,the church ,his memorial ,kinda of takes you back in time a little of ways from, and ways too go,definitely worth seeing.

What has been known by Martin L. King is known, in this place his life in the community is revealed starting from his finonal parents in his tragic death. The neighborhood where he was born and grew up is evocative.

great experience! I just wish the place was cleaner seems as if maintance hasnt been to work in a few days.

The Toastmasters meeting was awesome. I really felt right at home.

Great experience. Loads of things to see as history goes. I love the famous walk of fame with people who made a difference by them leaving a shoe print, and near by has great places to eat.

The King center is such an awesome place for visitors and residents. It is educational and inspiring! There are so many different people who come to the center for various reasons and they all get what they came for.

Learned so much from being here as well as the kids. It was like I was there during that time. All the displays were presently perfectly and I would love to go back. Glad we had a chance to see a part of history.
