I really enjoyed my first visit. My husband and daughter who's 10 joined me. There were a few emotional moments but overall it was informative, well put together, there was a lot of information. It was not crowded because of the time stamped tickets purchased online. We were expecting a 1 and half hour visit but we were there for about 2 hours and 45mins. This was a great experience and I'm glad I came. There's also a gift shop with lots of great keepsakes and fairly priced. I took lots of photos but I won't post many of them because I don't want to ruin your experience.
DH and I enjoyed the museum. Very detailed and enlightened. Although we feel like more details regarding the KKK should’ve been added. I experienced many emotions during the tour. The heart wrenching segment for me was where the slaves were on the ship and the sounds of the cries of pain and hurt then they were hit with a whip. As well as the sound of the whip striking them. Be aware that it will take a minimum of two hours to complete, therefore, you should wear comfortable shoes and not heals like I did.
This place I’ve been too before, but the renovation and the exhibit was amazing. My family and I had gone to a family reunion in Ohio and on the way back home we stopped here. My children and I have always loved going to museums, but this one was special for me and very informative for my children. As teenagers they aren’t always into it all, but they asked questions and really enjoyed the displays and we were able to talk about race issues and racism. I’m so happy that they were inquisitive because I always say, if you don’t remember the past then you may be doomed to repeat it even though that would not be an easy fete. In talking to my kids, we were able to talk to other guest at times and had great conversations about life. The gift shop had a lot of great things, and the prices were really good so that I was able to purchase a few things and the other items that I want I was able to order online. You can never learn everything and the next time I get to go through Memphis I will stopping by again
One of the best museums I've been to. The facility is well-maintained and the staff was warm and inviting. This museum will make you sad, it make you think, make you angry, it will make you feel so many things all at once. But mostly it will make you want to add your voice to the fight for an end to inequity of all Americans and of those wishing to become part of our nation. We are better than our ignorant and unjust past. This reminder of the dark times we've weathered, and still are, should be mandatory viewing by all those in federal public office so they might be motivated to add their voices and finally shine the light of true freedom on all.
Must see for anyone over the age of 15. It’s essential for Black children to visit this museum and have an accurate depiction of our US History. It’s maddening, insightful, wondrous, and enlightening. Hearing the lived experiences of children during that time will never leave my mind…Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$16–20
A very powerful and moving museum that I think everyone should visit in their lifetime. The museum, which is housed inside the Lorraine Hotel where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed, covers much more than this assassination, from slavery to civil rights. The final exhibit takes you right by the hotel room where King actually stayed, and gives you a clear view of the balcony. I really can’t think of any drawbacks to this experience. The staff are professional and helpful and the museum is clean/well designed. Know that some areas and exhibits do not permit photography of any kind. Definitely go if you get the chance!
This was the second time I have visited this museum. I have spent over three hours there and could easily spend more. Such a well done museum. Dr. King’s hotel room brought so many emotions. Also seeing all of the history that we were not taught was amazing and eye opening. A must see in Memphis!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
This was a pre birthday trip for my 40th birthday and it was by far amazing Breathtaking and many emotions!!! It was so nice to see the history of the past! We loved every minute of it. I will be back and bringing my kid back to see this for his birthday as he requested.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$16–20
It was a great walk back in time. The museum exhibits were well put together. The staff was polite and professional to everyone. Highly recommended to see.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
I really loved the museum. There was so much information to take in and photos to view. There were several short films to watch. I became a bit emotional during some of the interactive exhibits. I will definitely return. There were certain areas in the museum where photos/video recording were not allowed. I feel like I rushed some parts of the tour. I was on a time schedule and could only devote about 2hrs to the museum. There is a gift shop onsite. It was definitely an experience.
