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:
We were told to be there at opening which we were and we got a 11 clock time slot. All tours are with a guide, no self guided tours. Didn’t see anything about online sign up.

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.
A:
When I went there were homeless people and panhandlers. There was no real danger, more a strange feeling. They asked for money, for help etc. I was recommended to not walk …
A:
When I went there were homeless people and panhandlers. There was no real danger, more a strange feeling. They asked for money, for help etc. I was recommended to not walk there from the city centre but to ride the trolley. There was also a woman with psychiatric/drug related behavior near where the trolley started. She was wearing ripped clothes. For me Atlanta downtown/sweet auburn was one of the few cities I was confronted with these things during daylight.

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?
