Martin Luther King Jr., Center Reviews

Very detailed tour of the life, achievements, up and downs of Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife Coretta Scott King.

It is a beautiful place to visit.It was my first time and i loved it.Already planning to come back next year and bring my family.

I'll definitely be back again. Such a honorable leader and extraordinary person.

Spiritually, mentally, & emotionally gratifying. I grew up on those same beliefs taught to me by my mother anyways so it truly reaffirms to me that those same non-violent social belief methods for peace will still work in today's society. MAY WORLD PEACE BE UNTO ALL ON MOTHER EARTH LET'S ALL GET ALONG. Oh yeah and the exhibits were great & detailed-the water way & peace garden w statement plagues from children beautiful. Walk of fame felt like walking w all those who me did it. You'll be beyond greatfull you went to all this

love this place..I was blessed to see 2 mini flims about the history of America. ..lots to see...great play area,,no fee to visit...walk of fame is my favorite. ..my family love it..get my kids to understand their history. .

Amazing place. I definetly cried. I took lots of photos and learned more history than I thought I knew. Awesome place to visit, and if you attend church on Sundays it's worth a visit to join the church sermon. Beautiful place with beautiful people.

This was very informative, a host of knowledge and excellent exhibits. It absolutely is one of the best museums I have encountered. It is worth the time and I would visit again.

Awesome experience. Next time I hope to go inside and tour his birth home.

A perfect way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon; the park is open 7 days a week and a must see for all people regardless of age and race to experience. VERY educational. Deep. Soul-stirring; I can't find the words to describe the experience. The museum, tour of MLK's home, and church are free to visit and parking is free. The tour of MLK's home is conducted by a park ranger; all attendants present were very informative. I made my visit on a whim on a last minute trip to Atlanta a little after 2 o'clock; the museum has a wealth of information, so I highly suggest arriving early to give yourself time to read, watch the televised recordings, and have a thorough, enjoying experience. A park is available for children. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as the museum is located downtown and there are other places to walk around and view as well.

I initially visited the Martin Luther King Jr. site in July of 2017 while spending my birthday in Atlanta. I was extremely moved by seeing his life story and seeing the correlation between his life and how his contribution to American history affected the life of former President Jimmy Carter. I have since moved to Georgia in the latter months of 2019 and I went back for the first time in two and a half years yesterday. They went all out for the celebration of his life. There were so many people taking in the sights of this day. I can now visit this all important historical site anytime.

Very solemn and peaceful. The grounds need some upkeep but the staff is great.

It explains quite well who Martin Luther King was and his achievements.

The place is stretched out over several blocks. Parking is free. Definitely worth visiting.

Great historical park to visit in Atlanta. Park for free in the parking lot and no admission fee. Take time to see the movie. The reflection pool is very awe inspiring

This place speaks! You can hear Dr. King even in the silence. I love coming here. Over and over again.

best place I have ever visited in my life. so historical and just an amazing place to visit. so historical and chill worthy being here. a place everyone should try and visit.

It is not by any account the largest museum /site, but don't be deceived. In addition to the life of MLK, the museum gives good insight into the feelings at the time. It took about 2 hours to go through the museum (could be done quicker). Surrounding sights will take at least another 30 minutes to see. Where MLK grew up, typical house of the time, as well as MLK memorial. These are definitely worth it.
There was a large parking lot across the street. It was free.

Awesome knowledge,information for all. It will keep your attention,very interested.

Amazing center/museum. Very moving to go around the place and learn everything about Dr. King and his life.

Calm and reflective atmosphere topped with lots of information

Moving, heartfelt experience. No matter your race, ethnicity or religion, you will be moved by this man, his followers and the legacy he left beyond. He truly was doing God's work.

Part of MLK's life growing up...Go around the back!

I felt empowered the day I visited this PLACE, and the bookstore next to it

I'm going to college to become a historian and this spot added alot to my knowledge on MLKJ. I've been touring Atlanta for awhile just because I feel it's what I need and it's where my boyfriend lives. I was looking through some places to visit in Atlanta and this stuck out to me. I've told all my friends back in the U.K. and they so badly wish to go.

Absolutely amazing and great history lesson for the young men that made the trip with us.

Well maintained. If you want to go to the birthplace you better get there early for tix. By 10am all tours for the day were full

This is great museum for King's legacy and civil right movement. It is not super dense, but there is tons of information. The videos are all well done to teach you more. Parking is free and so is the museum. Everyone who is in Atlanta should take a trip here at least once to learn more about the civil rights movement.

Very educational learn a lot about the those days and times

Nice ode to MLK Jr. Great for kids as well. Easy walking, kid friendly, positive experience. Visitor center (not pictured) pretty informative for those not familiar with his work.

I loved the story shared about the resting place for the King family.

A free black history museum which will educated you on America history

It's extremely historic and free so no reason not to go.

Great museum and memorial!! A piece of black history n National landmark ... Great place to visit!!

It's always great to see black history and about the brothers and sisters that lose there lives so myself and my family can live better. Much much Love and respect always

It was amazing standing on the grounds of so much history:)

Once in a lifetime experience you must do go see history in our future

A dream come true for me. I still can not believe that I walk through Ebenezer Baptist Church and I was able to visit Kings Center. I can't wait to go back.

Great experience, surreal, amazing, educational & powerful. Let's keep the legacy & vision alive by incorporating those values & principle that these great people & leaders fought, endured & even died for

A great inspirational place to visit if you are around Atlanta.

This park brings about the very large and broad work that Martin Luther King Jr did in his life and how in a few short years, he accomplished so much. Learn more than just the work the King accomplished but also about those who influenced him, his friends, his church, and those he impacted and how his work is valid today. See the personal and intimate life of Martin Luther King Jr.

This was the most humbling experience of my life. Growing up in a small northern town did not prepare me for the emotions I experienced when we visited here. I cannot wait to return and explore it more fully.

What an experience! If you haven't been here you have to go.

A great place to see and believe me you will leave from there very emotionally.

I've been here years ago I've never been inside the church nor the museme I had a very unforgettable experience!!

If you visit Atlanta a trip to Martin Luther King, jr National Historical Park is a must for both the history and to pay respect to the great man.

You must go to the main Park office the morning of your visit to make reservations. This results in having to spend many hours just to visit his birthplace. They will not let you reserve a space for the next day.

Excellent organized complex! Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. A place where it will be interesting for both adults and children. And all this - for FREE.
I applaud standing up for propaganda, marketing and patriotism.

Never thought I'd live to see the place thank God for people like MLK i& the Freedom Fighters.

Visited the house MLK grew up in. The museum was very nice. They have a tour of the home he grew up in daily.

Amazing place to understand the connection between East (India) and West (USA).
Every kid must visit this place to know what this man stood for.
Being an Indian I felt proud to realize that MLK and MK Gandhi were such close friends and comrades in their struggles for social equality and political reforms.

Must See! Especially in our political climate today; it was such an emotional experience for me.

Always a joy to visit here! Beautiful Spirit in this space
