Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Did a Tour for my family reunion and it was awesome, moving and very educational.

Amazing place that remember the story of Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott

Informative and moving. Difficult for wheelchairs, but doable.

This place is really nice. My kids and I got to do a tour of Martin Luther King Jr's birth home and the church where he did his first sermon.

Fantastic place, one of the best in the NPS. A beautiful tribute to the work of MLK, this place did his legacy right.

Educational and amazing place to visit. I will not forget

My friend and I had a good time visiting this place. A lot of information.

So much history to explore! A must see for everyone!

Wow..So much history that is not shared in the history books

This museum really makes you think about how bad apartheid has been, the difference that was made between black and white people. The true stories you hear inside and the films that are shown, bizarre what people can do to each other and only because of a different skin color.

BEAUTIFUL cultural atmosphere. The history in this place is amazing. Makes you want to reread history.

Very beautiful I really don't know how to feel it was overwhelming I already visited the Loraine motel when I got married now this is don't have words rip Rev Dr Martin Luther King

Thanks MLK it was a pleasure seeing your birthplace

One of the best most historically relevant places in the city. The King center shows you what the civil rights movement was all about. It also held teach about the most dynamic leader in the history of the movement.

I really loved this please place!!! Full of a lot of history!!!

It was raining on our visit but overall.. it was a great visit

Every breathing individual need to visit this place so they can get a better understand of the huge sacrifices that were taken place for African Americans to gain equality in America.

Wonderful experience. Hidden gem I. Atlanta. I took middle and high school students and this is the one place they still talk about. A must see.

Sobering experience & a great reminder to everyone to never forget the past

This is an iincredibly moving and informative place. Its filled with history and is nestled in the city itself. The various historical buildings as well as the national park buildings go into depth on the history of Atlanta, civil rights, and the prominent neighborhood that King grew up and practiced in

I could spend hours in here looking at all of the creative cards.

Amazing historical value for all cultures! Take the family! Visit all sites on Auburn Street.

Absolutely incredible experience. How moving and inspiring Dr. King was, and how his work still contributes to our society today. Such a moving exhibit. I would suggest this to anyone.

Exciting to visit and have access to videos, photographs, historical buildings that tell the life of this man.

Always a great experience. If you got to the main building. They have a fact book they give to kids. So they can answer all sorts of interesting questions. When there done they receive a ranger badge

It's just crazy to see what we as a people went through, a book can tell u a lot but being there u can almost feel the hurt our people and others endured

Our visit here is an experience I will never forget. It was informative and truly inspiring. Our visit literally brought my 12 year old daughter to tears. She said that for the first time she truly got a feeling for the horrors our ancestors endured. I too was brought to tears but not as visibly as my daughter. She walked down an isle that shared the encounters of Dr. King's life and other civil rights activists. By the time she was at the end of the timeline her devastation was palpably noticeable. She said she learned more in that one day than she ever did in class.

OMG this place is so touching!! I truly loved it......

You can feel the peace that only a job well done can cause. This place is absolutely beautiful it's peaceful and it's a wonderful memorial there is no parking and you must maneuver around people taking pictures but that is to be expected. Other than that it's a must see.

This is a MUST SEE destination in Atlanta that seems to miss all of the major lists. I visited this national park over the course of two hours and learned so much about the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and others who had major roles in civil rights and beyond. The museum was sad, horrifying, and uplifting all at once. It is definitely child appropriate (there were several groups of children when I went). You can take a free tour of ML King's birth home, his church, and there are several gift shops throughout the block. The stunning memorial has a water feature reminiscent of the national mall and the tombs of Dr King and Coretta Scott King are situated directly across from an eternal flame. The entire visit was moving. There is ample free parking and a visitor's guide makes navigating the park simple. The only issue I had was with the number of panhandlers in the park and out on the street. I didn't always feel safe to walk around by myself. That being said, this is a national treasure. MUCH nicer than the one in DC under the Lincoln memorial.

Amazing experience with historic monuments to visually display it all.

Such an amazing and chilling experience Paige and I had. We stood in line for about 15 mins to take a tour of the house. Free admission & no pictures while doing tour of house. Once your out of the house you can take pictures and parking was free.

Interesting site. Could be better looked aftwr- signs of rising damp lifting parts of the plaster in the Church- NPS should fix this. Full of information on MLK Jr and his work.

Anyone visiting Atlanta should check it out

Free and parking is easy. Must visit place.
Only minutes from centennial park.

Beautiful, quiet, and peaceful place to learn about an American treasure. MLK. There is also and exhibit about his hero Gandhi. Remember to go early to get a spot in the walking tour. It fills up fast and is free of course because it is a natural park.

Very interesting set of historical buildings in the area. From the church the King Family pastor'd to the King Family House. The King Birth House is a great tour if you can get tickets. Tickets are limited and must be obtained at the Visitor Center first. Then you get your tickets, from the visitor center, at the distribution time, then go on the tour. Highly worth getting there promptly at 9am to ensure you get tickets.

The birthplace of the civil rights movement is a place I recommend visiting when in Atlanta. So much history in this one location. The home where Martin Luther King Jr can be toured but be prepared to get there early if you want to be able to register for the home tour. The tour is free. There is a museum you can visit, firehouse no. 6 is open too as well as the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. All areas are free of charge. Bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated as you do a lot of walking through the area.

The way this place captures history! There are no words to express how AMAZING it is!

Great experience and family value sharing time. Can t go wrong shining the light on the darker side of America.

An amazing historical memorial site for 2 people who contributions in the lives of Americans.

You could always imagine what MLK life and times were like but being there really opens the range of your imagination ten times more. Great place to visit

A fitting tribute to the great man and his neighborhood.

I live in Los Angeles but being at the MLK Jr. Memorial Center felt like coming home and learning more about our history. Excellent!

This was the greatest experience I've ever had hopefully more to come

Loved every moment. Rangers are very helpful and knowledgeable about MLK life

Amazing. I'm not a crybaby by any means but it was really emotional for me.

If you see the house where Martin Luther King was born, do not forget to ask for your tickets in this place, without them you will not be able to enter the house.
