Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Museum large area, very well organized. Hosts are very well informed and courteous. Entrance is free but donations are accepted .

I loved that place. I took many photos and the site is so significant x King's fight for the rights of all the dark ones in that nation. I recommend it.

I honestly enjoyed every aspect of this museum! I enjoyed seeing the church he used to preach at, his house and the memory pool where Dr. King and his wife were laid to rest. At some points, I felt like I was there. Some parts were somber, especially the sections that were more geared towards the Civil Rights Movement versus the childhood of Dr. King. Overall, the experience was amazing. Pictures do not do it justice!

I learn something new everytime l go. As many time as lve been to Martin historical site l never new his mother was killed in the very church him n his father preach in...

Amazing historic site, good family day! Enjoy learning and see resl history in ATL

Great tourist place which highlights the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Must visit place.

5 mins late due to parking and they gave our tickets away to someone else. The respect I have for MLK wont let me give this poor service 1 star

This is the best thing yet to happen to Atlanta. Authentic history of the Civil Right Movement, extremely educational, extremely heartbreaking consider the greatest source of History depiction the African American experiences in Georgia. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And Coretta Scott King are both buried on site, inside the reflecting pool. The Auburn Avenue, Dr. King birth house, this is the area where blacks live and thrive. Auburn Avenue doing it Heyday was considered the richest black street in the world. Here you have wheat Street Baptist Church and Atlanta Life Insurance Company was founded on this street, madam CJ Walker sales representative had an office/hair salon on this street, even a Bottling Company was on this street black owned and operated, Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site area is where Martin Luther King Jr lived until he was 12 years old and this community has been restored back to his first twelve years of life.

Tour the birth home in conjunction with historical site both for free. The former requires [free] tickets, so reserve one at the information center.

It has all the info about Martin Luther king's life

Loved it so much. Martin Luther King & his his supporters did so many know & unknown benefitial things for his generation & ours. It's a blessing to see their sacrifices for all. I'm fairly new to Georgia & to learn about the church where he preached at & to see the spot his mother was taken from the world is humbling. Now I can pick up where my elders laid down at & continue the fight for equality for the next generation.

I loved everything in the park...the displays are arranged in a way that is very easy to follow and learn from

The experience was wonderful. My family and I appreciate the history and legacy of the Kings.

For me it was a very emotional experience. Very friendly park ranger on duty who gladly provided additional historical info.

It's mlk historical site so I love it period. You can walk the street and obtain knowledge.

Great place to visit if in Atlanta. The volunteers are very knowledgable and I like how all the buildings are connected.

Several informative displays. The bridge was inspiring. The wooden wagon was humbling.

Very informative it has a nice touch must see when visiting Atlanta

A must go. The visitor center has a great exibithion.

Enjoyed my visit at this place. Really meaningful and so many interesting things inside. The best part is, is that it s free entry! There s also a theatre inside where you get to watch a short film on Martin Luther s life growing up. The way the exhibition was set out was good.

Probably the spot you ought to put at the top of your Atlanta sightseeing list. The main point is to relive or learn about that turbulent period of 20th century American history. How far King succeeded can be judged from what the exhibits and films depict but also by observing the other visitors.

I visited on MLK weekend. It puts change in race relations into perspective, but we have more work to do. The museum acknowledges this with a focus on MLK and his contribution to change.

This museum brought back a lot of my childhood memories. It reminded me of the struggles of the. Freedom Riders and how social change can work for the good of people. Great videos and film clips. Relive the experiences of the Civil Rights leaders. Learn about politicians who were leaders and those that obstructed social justice. Learn what hatred and bigotry are and how they hurt us as a people. Great place.

The life and times of MLK are depicted with depth and meaning here. A great place to learn and absorb.

Very informative.
The place is very reflective on the past and makes you think about the present.
An interesting point is: I think they pipe the scent of his colongue through the vents of the church, you can especially smell him in the basement.....

As a visitor, I didn't know much about the civil rights movement and was glad I visited this site during a layover in Atlanta. It was emotionally moving and informative on American history. Definitely recommend dropping by for a visit.

Beautiful and Educational. Very neat to see the chilhood home and the beautiful memorial for he and his wife.

Finally had the chance to go to the MLK site and it was very enlightening. Better to visit outside of holidays.

Excellent and a must see. Be sure to do the birth home tour. Everything is free including parking and well laid out.We went in summer and the roses were in full bloom. The church, visitors center and birth tour are doable in a few hours. Great places to eat nearby if your not afraid of a few rough looking streets. People are friendly. But you will be asked for spare change by some needy people.

History, reality, and one of the greatest people ever. Being refurbished. Looking forward to the finished product.

Awesome experience... Such a humble experience to be in the same space where one of our most profound leaders once was.

I think this place would be great for students to visit, and see why Dr. King was fighting for their future.

Self guided tour. Good mix of photos, artifacts and videos,

A memorable place, which makes us reflect on the state of our humanity and our openness. For me it was an intense emotional journey which confronted me with the rigidity of the world in which we live and the lack of tolerance towards difference, however small it may be ... And how the courage of a man can raise a nation and forgetting the work of this man destroying all memories of this uprising in the minds of people who nevertheless were actors of these changes today difficult to see ... If you go to Atlanta, go to the parks, the streets, and talk to the people you meet, rich or poor, black or white, and ask them to tell you about their experiences and the reality of this beautiful city. You will no doubt come out a little shocked by the reality of a segregation still present, from a place where the poor have no access to health care and where everyone has to speak according to established standards ... but above all , you will be inspired by the hope and the courage that they know how to transmit so well ... The Martin Lutherking Junior museum is the introduction, the gateway to be able to capture the heart of Atlanta and its inhabitants.

Love this Memorial. Such a wonderful tribute to 2 Great individuals on our History

Must see for everyone, very educational and inspiring.

Took my kids to learn of history and Dr. King's legacy and this was a very fun and educational experience especially for children who are biracial

Great site with lots of history to honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Good place to get to know a little bit of black history in Atlanta! Beautiful place

Very good stop for a quick and eye opening look into a snipet of black history.

Its one thing to be told and taught about what Martin Luther king Jr did and who he is. But it feels great to walk the streets that he walked and see it first hand.. im so amazed.. especially the birth place

Every black man woman and child shud visit and get more dignity about themselves

I came here from Florida and didnt want to leave. Nothing can compare to the energy felt in the church and birth home of THE KING FAMILY.

Took my kids for a learning experience and the staff was very helpful.

The most influential place I've visited in a long time! A must visit for those who've never been or planning on visiting Atlanta...

The visit was really interesting for us. Everything very careful and well preserved. A lot of information available not only to read, but also to see and experience. A very picturesque neighborhood to travel since it is within a historical environment. It's worth the visit !!!

Wow! The history of Martin Luther King is astounding. The lengths that he went and the sacrifices were for not just Black America but for all people. This visit gave me a reason to reflect on what I can contribute to change even now. Now I will go to see the Washington DC Memorial.

Fun place to go
It's free

Love it you learn way more than school too! I also had a lovley and a funny brith home tour!.

Loved this place so informative and great experience for everyone.

It was a beautiful experience. But a tour guide would of been better. Staff there were very Accommodating for my first visit. Alot things was shut down like the movie theater. Hopefully, the budget gets back in order because MLK is legendary experience. They put a picture of Trump which should be removed he doesn't belong in the same exhibit as Dr. King .He doesn't believe in the Same dream. Over all worth going.
