Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Great educational experience, wish the museum was bigger would love to see it expanded with more information :), gift shop could have more of a novelty selection. Loved the content.

The Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park consists of several buildings in Atlanta, Georgia, including Martin Luther King Jr.'s boyhood home and the original Ebenezer Baptist Church, the church where King was baptized and both his father Martin Luther King Sr. and he were pastors. These places, critical to the interpretation of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy as a leader of the American Civil Rights Movement, were included in the park when it was established on October 10, 1980. Formerly a National Historic Site, the unit was redesignated as a National Historical Park on January 8, 2018 by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Every African-American should come learn about their culture

Very fascinating. House and memorial are 100 meters away. All very concentrated, very practical to visit. The house tour is free but I don't think it's worth it. The plaque with the dedication "... was born here M.L.King" is right at the entrance to the driveway. There is a queue to pose near and take a picture!

Touching scenary
Nice staff
Educational Experience

Amazing! The tour of his home is highly recommended too. Just mind blowing!

The place was peaceful. Just as he wanted the world to be.

We got there late, about 4pm. We did the interpretation center and the King Center grounds across the street.

Another fantastic landmark in atlanta you must visit!

I learned so much! So much history, it was an eye opening experience for all of us, the kids also learned a lot, they also enjoyed the playground.

This place was a real eye opener. As someone who lives in a country with no race problems, I was appalled at what went on in my lifetime. Thanks to the like of Martin Luther King and his peaceful protests life for the oppressed has improved greatly but racism still has a undercurrent in this great country. Sad.

It is an amazing place to learn all about DR King and his family history. I love it and can't wait to take my kids there.

In order to build a better future for all, we have to understand the past. This center captures one of the pivital time in our history.

It is a must stop not only as a wonderful place, but also a reflection of where we have been and the work that lies ahead.

Again, this is a stop beyond race, sex creed or color, but a journey for equality on many socioeconomic fronts.

Go inside with an open mind, and leave your guilt, or that what to expect at the door and you are going to like the way you feel heading out of there.

This place would not have worked in capturing that period in our history if it was located on a mall somewhere often taped off.

Would love to come back ever year. We learned a lot.

We didn't plan well. To go inside MLK's house you have to make an appointment online. It's free but we couldn't go in.

The place was beautiful. We got there later in the day so we missed out on touring his house, but it was awesome seeing the church he went to and re learning the history associated with it. The water memorial was so beautiful also.

Wow this center is breathtaking I had a wonderful time at the king center. If you're ever in Atlanta you have to visit. I got teary eyed just hearing his voice. A powerful part of history.

I am amazed at the beauty of the facility and the wealth of information inside. Tears flowed from my eyes several times as I walked through both the church and the facility. We've come a very long way with many miles to go.

A must go and learn about.
Free admission just need to book it upon arrival.

Awesome! I didn't get to see it all but what I did was amazing. Definitely will be going back. And it's free!

To see ... to understand the greatness of those who fight and fought with "non-violence" for civil rights.
A museum, as always in the United States, built and maintained with the utmost care and completeness of information.
You can breathe history and experience emotions, thinking about the difficulties encountered and overcome over the years for the progress of ideas.
Approved in August 2010.

This was one of the best experiences of my life. Dr. MLKJ, REST IN POWER!!

What a beautiful and informative memorial! Thank you for continuing the legacy and educating people about non-violence and justice. Not sure why Donald Trump is included in the memorial, he truly Does Not deserve to be a part of it.

Guests in town enjoyed this treasure. Going back Tuesday.

I was expecting more information and more pedagogy in the way they are presented ... But the subject is worth the trip anyway.

There was a lot of details that went into this place. Have your walking shoes on, because is a lot to see. Unfortunately it rained while we were there so we didn't get to see his home and they were working on the area were he and his wife lay but other then that it was great.

This place is as close to history that u will ever get. U will get a goof young MLK Jr. and how his legacy came to be along with other facts that probably will never be taught in a classroom. I truly felt as if I had warped back in time.

Just seeing how the state really recognized what he & and his stood for and the education you got.

I highly recommend this for tourist to visit... it is very educational... and I was very glad I had the opportunity to visit

A place you must visit while visiting Atlanta...historical and educational...

Don't forget your National Park stamp book. The home tour is worth going on (no pictures permitted inside home per request of King estate). The content is humbling and reminds guests that segregation wasn't that long ago and voices/peaceful actions are still needed today.

My child loves history so this was the requested area to go visit. Had a great time getting to also visit the church.

That place was amazing and sad at the same time the people could be so mean during those days, which is still present in this day and age, but not as bad.

This is a must visit if you are visiting in Atlanta

Wonderful experience, lots of information pertinent even today. A great tribute to a great man and his vision.

It was a awesome place be to see, listen and read a lot historical facts. Being able to see multiple original things that belonged to Martin Luther king jr.. They even have a free tour guide at different times of the day.

This site was awesome! The staff was helpful. It was great to see all of the artifacts, videos and pictures inside. I recommend looking at the shot gun houses and his birthing home but be sure to grab tour times from the information center. It was an honor being able to visit this place.

Great Experience...

Rich history and detail time lines in the National Park building, as well as MLK's childhood home, must visit in Atlanta. While you are here, don't miss The King Center and the Ebenezer Baptist Church across the street.

I only went into one museum because I came at 4:30 and everything closes at 5 but most of the sites at still a site to see such as his birth home matter what time of the day it is.I will definitely make it a goal to go take the tour and learn more bout the great Dr. MLK.

Awesome experience - family came up for Thanksgiving weekend and the MLK Center was the perfect location for a mind blowing experience for everyone.
