This was a very powerful visit. We weren’t organized enough to do one of the tours but we did take full advantage of the self exploration. I particularly appreciated the film shown in the visitor cen… Full review by casshannah91

Q:
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.

Q:
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.
A:
I don't think you will have problems getting tickets because the peak season starts during the summer vacation time. However, I would give them a call to be sure.

Q:
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.

Hi! I was last November. I was the only one participant of the walking tour, so we were two women and I felt safe. Yes, you see some homeless people around, but the tour guide …

Hi! I was last November. I was the only one participant of the walking tour, so we were two women and I felt safe. Yes, you see some homeless people around, but the tour guide (sorry forgot her name ) was keeping very calm and ignoring them , so nobody bothered us. I highly reccomend taking this tour, gave me sich much better understanding how big MLK was, as a man, as an activist.
Q:
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:
I think it would depend on the Sunday.. holiday weekends would be packed early. We got our tickets early on a non holiday and we got in on the last tour of the day... you know what they …

Are dogs allowed here? They are for sure allowed in the outside areas right?

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).
