The space is somewhat small but packs historical images and great media yielding an impactful visit. I was most impacted by Dr.King’s funeral where his final speech was played. It was moving to liste… Full review by jamesaI3832SQ

Are there any Park Ranger talks at any of the sites? I know the Birth Home is closed right now, but was wondering if they give any talks at places like the Visitor's Center or the Ebenezer Baptist Church?
A:
They have talks at both those locations, and many park rangers around to speak with as well. Definitely worth the visit.
Do I need to arrive well before the visitors center opens to get tickets for the tour? How early if so? Are there open house hours to see the house on a self guided tour? Planning to visit either the afternoon of Sat 3/21 or morning of Sun 3/22. We have limited time so we can’t wait all day for our slot. If the chances of getting morning tickets are slim we may just opt to do the self guided tour outside.

Unless there has been a recent change, there is no advance booking of home tours, either by phone or online. You must show up in person at the visitor center to get tickets and …
Unless there has been a recent change, there is no advance booking of home tours, either by phone or online. You must show up in person at the visitor center to get tickets and reserve a time slot. Arrive a few minutes before opening during the off season. HOWEVER..... It is completely possible, even likely, that because of the COVID-19 situation that NO home tours are being offered. Be prepared for disappointment. You might have even cancelled your vacation already.
How is the overall area of the Hisotrical Park? Does it feel safe? I've read some reviews about there being a handful of homeless and panhandlers around the area. Not that I'm personally really bothered by it, but just asking because I will be visiting Atlanta in April and it's more because my parents are kind of the paranoid type.
A:
Personally, I did not see any homeless or Panhandlers in the area when I visited Dr. King's memorial. There could possibly be people of that nature because of the location, but I do not …
Personally, I did not see any homeless or Panhandlers in the area when I visited Dr. King's memorial. There could possibly be people of that nature because of the location, but I do not think there is a reason to be afraid because of security and there are people who reside in the area are simply poor and harmless.
How early should I be at the Visitor Center on a Sunday morning to get tickets for my family of 4 to tour MLK's Birth Home?
A:
It really depends on you. If you want to get in and out and short of time. I recommend as soon as they open, but if your flexible with time and wants to enjoy the neighborhood, go there …
It really depends on you. If you want to get in and out and short of time. I recommend as soon as they open, but if your flexible with time and wants to enjoy the neighborhood, go there on you leisure. When we went there, we waited couple of hours for our time but we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, visited the fire station, the old church and enjoyed the museum.
Are dogs allowed here? They are for sure allowed in the outside areas right?
A:
Outside, absolutely. You can see the landmarks and get a feel for the neighborhood. Only service dogs inside. There is a nearby dog park too (Freedom Barkway). Dogs are …
Outside, absolutely. You can see the landmarks and get a feel for the neighborhood. Only service dogs inside. There is a nearby dog park too (Freedom Barkway). Dogs are welcome at Park on the Tavern too, where you can grab a bite and a drink. There are two dog parks there as well (Piedmont Park).
