Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Great places to learn more about the struggle people of color have had to with in the past and still fighting with today.

A must-do when you are in Atlanta. The history is beautiful and the site is great.

Definitely worth a visit when in Atlanta since it is a part of American history! What s great about it is that it is free, but make sure you come early to tour MLK Jr s birth house as tickets sell out! Each tour group only accommodates 15 people. You could also pay your respects to Dr King and his wife as their tombs are located there as well.

Admission was free and the amount of detail in the exhibits were thought provoking and at times quite emotional. Hearing MLK JR s voice over the loud speakers was moving.

The visitors center has excellent exhibits about Martin Luther King Jr. And the civil rights movement, but the real highlight is the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr., Which provides a real feel for the environment which molded the great man.

Good is that you can easily get there by the street car/tram. Attention: it is not included in the breeze ticket. Now: Is it politically incorrect to give not 5 stars to this monument of American history? But the presentation is a little outdated. Even it has never before been more actual and necessary to heal the wounded soul of this great nation. But it seems the words of Dr. Martin Luther King seem to be unheard and the setting will not attire more or younger visitors. For me: A wonderful from the roses to the wall. I wish I had had more time.

Amazing, historically and spiritually! A must visit when in Atlanta.

The history here is rises from the ground up and permeates the very air you breathe while you are there. From the Ebenezer Baptist church to the eternal flame at tomb of Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King. It has to be seen by all to know how much America struggled to have a united soul, moreover the work that still needs to be done.

**Just be mindful, there are people pretending to work for the historic site, the have knowledge of the site down pat. However, when they're done with their schtick then they ask for money, they will get bitter when you don't give them money. Those who work there have national park uniforms**

Very exciting to walk were Dr. Martin Luther King walked to see the old Ebenezer Baptist church where he preached, and to view he and his wife's final resting place . I will gladly visit again, a wonderful part of our history lies here!!!

The Martin Luther King Historical Site is very worthy of a visit, it's filled with important and notable aspects of his life achievements for the advancement of all people regardless of race, creed or religion.

Difficult to rate historical place. But it's a place that you have to visit at least once and see how the great benefits and bounties we have today were fought and struggled for.

So much to see and do, I can't describe it all! I felt as though I walked through and touched a huge part of history.

Take the time to go to Atlanta, GA and visit this awe-inspiring place! I know that you will find it is a part of our history that is truly indelible.

Plenty to see and do at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Park. A little known fact is that the park (inclusive of the King Center) us one of (if not the) the only places that captures the place of birth, life, and death in one site (his birth home and entombed body are at the site). The Park is rich with history and picturesque natural and man made features that make it a must see in Atlanta.

A must see place. History of a strong and mighty people, and mighty man!!!

I really enjoyed seeing all of the different things they have from Martin Luther King's funeral and his quotes

Captured the events of the freedom March exceptionally well!!!. Awesome playground and free parking

Great experience highly recommend it. Especially for younger people/children, because I'm not sure how much time is devoted to this part of our history in schools anymore.

It felt so humbling visiting MLK's birth place, where he grew up until he was 12. The King Center is a great testimony for the magnificent role Coretta King played in honoring her husband and preserving his Legacy. The King Center, where MLK and Coretta King are laid to rest is the Mecca for the Oppressed, a must-visit to salute the memory of some of the world's Greatest (MLK, Coretta, and, through them, all the Civil Rights activists alive today and those, such as Elhaj Malik El Shabazz or Malcolm X, who have given their lives for the nobe, selfless, and transcendental cause of Freedom and Dignity for the Oppressed in America, in Africa, and all over the word).

Soooo informative and an amazing experiance! I travelled all the way from Philly And I don't regret there trip! So glad I could experiance such a great piece of history.

Learned alot about MLK JR History. Really enjoyed the experience.

Was an absolute honor to go to this beautiful & historical park !!

Everyone Should come here to receive the Blessings of his presence

This place will have you in tears everyone should visit.

Unfortunately closed due to govt shutdown. Good to see exterior being maintained nonetheless.

A place for history lovers.Nice displays,video clips of real incidents

Milk the game and taught it to my boys!!! Gave them an experience of a lifetime!!! We do more than play basketball.

This was a beautiful experience if you have a in the ATL this is something that you must do visit this

nice and clean, well maintained.
so much historical fact, it's a great place for family visits too...

We took a mini vacation and it s been 22 years since I visit the museum. They have so many updates and I can truly say I enjoyed my trip there.

This was a really interesting and informational place to visit. You get to see how he lived his life and can explore his home, church and surrounding areas of his boyhood. Well worth a visit, but make sure you register for a tour of the house.

I'm ashamed I hadn't visited this cultural site before. The power of the message still is so tangible as is the closeness in history of the events.

Wonderful and exciting place to visit. Filled with such rich history. Would suggest to any one to visit.

Beautiful place and they have all his stuff like clothes and his wife as well. Was amazing to experience such rich history

Must visit when in Atlanta. I learn something new everytime.

It's great that this historical place is free to visit and park. Everyone should come here at least once. Information about Dr King's life and work is displayed in a respectful manner and rangers are always available to answer questions

Experiencing history and sharing with my boys our history. Hearing Dr. MLK. Jr preaching in the church on the speaker was a great reminder that he's a minister of the Good News of Jesus, first.

It was an honor to visit Dr. and Mrs. King's museum and gravesite. I thanked them for their priceless contribution to humanity.

Excellent displays, videos, virtual tour in the visitor center. The map is very good and easy to follow along.

Awesome place to visit! I learned so much about King's birth place. You can't take pictures of the inside though. It is a lot of walking so be prepared for that. I wanted to do more but my parents and I didn't have time. Definitely recommend doing this if you're visiting Atlanta for the first time!

What an amazing preservation of history, and all for free! We could not go inside MLK Jrs home, but we were able to participate in a guided tour of the community. The added stories of neighbors, the fire station, and church, made it much easier to imagine the time and place. The museum and memorial was beautifully designed. Make sure you walk around the entire community.

I learned a few things while there, it was a phenomenal visit, I was able to get a visual to many things I've heard about. Powerful, powerful, powerful place to visit
