Very moving experience especially as I had the extraordinary opportunity to meet Elder Bernice King (Dr. King's daughter). Thought I knew a fair bit about the King family, but this taught me much more. A fitting tribute to an incredible man!

Learnt a lot about the history of the black movement and Atlanta's role in MLK's life. A worthy visit.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Historic Site is and interesting journey into a great man's, as well as his wife's, life. Unfortunately, the museum part of the site is worn and old, and could do with a refurbishing; Dr. King deserves more than this! I appreciate the fact that his birthhome is kept untouched, but the overall presentation of the... More

Had a wonderful half day touring the Martin Luther King historic site in downtown Atlanta. The attraction is free however donations to keep the site operating are encouraged. The "museum" is a great story of the life and events of Martin Luther King and recordings of his many speeches. Very well displayed allowing browsing at your own pace. Across e... More

While we didn't do the tour we found the information boards and film footage informative enough. He was such a motivational speaker and his speeches were brilliant and moving.

So glad we took time to visit this while in Atlanta- main purpose was to visit the Cater Library, but this is a "don't miss" also. Every American should spend a little time here to reflect on what really matters in this life and where we should be heading in our country. Too many have forgotten. Be sure to see... More

I really thought I'd seen this before... it would just be repackaged... I don't know how they did it, but whoever designed this place managed to capture the emotion as well as the history. My 2 year old was actually attentive and was able to be engaged enough that we could read a little here and there. The section for... More

Got a taxi here from downtown and got there for 9.30 when tickets for the birthplace are given out at the fire station, early arrival paid off as got on the 10am tour. The tour of the birthplace was excellent, with a really informative and entertaining guide. Also visited the memorial, the 2 exhibit centres, the church and the fire... More

Visited here for the 1st time earlier this year. Having gone to a southern school [ Tulane] in the 1960's, the events portrayed brought back clear memories of the Civil Rights movement. A great educational experience for all: young,old black & white!
