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?

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:
Hello....I would book online "AND" arrive early so you can have your preferred time slot and "enjoy" the tour.

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.

We stayed on the main street when we walked there, Auburn, which had lots of people and felt safe. We walked from Peachtree, downtown where our hotel was and it was fine. Near MLK museum there wasn’t any food, we unfortunately thought we would eat along the way and there was no breakfast places. You have to put your name on a list to get into the family home, so go early or call and see if there is a new way to view the home. There was places open to have lunch at on our way back..

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.
