Absolutely fantastic museum. Especially for how compact it is - 45 minutes will get you through the totality of it, but still of the highest quality. The museum is mostly videos - one of which highli…Full review by abroadwithashley

You can buy the ticket at the door. Remember to buy the combo ticket at the legacy museum that will cover the legacy museum and the memorial, you get a discount that way plus it gives you access to the free shuttle between the memorial and the legacy museum.

Q:
Is there parking for a 36ft 5th wheel camper? We are heading to north Alabama Saturday, and we would love to stop to see the museum on our way.
A:
There is a multistore parking near by. I think that the lower level for a camper. Alternatively you may be able to use the bus parking but it will depend on the day of your visit

Q:
I'll be traveling through Montgomery on a Sunday, and I'm thinking of stopping at the fountain and the outside of the parsonage. Are there any memorials that are open on Sundays? Are there other things I can do with my kids? They have both seen A Long Walk Home and are fascinated (and horrified) by this chapter in our history. It seems a shame not to at least stop on our way to Missouri!

A:
I would absolutely recommend a trip to the fountain outside the center, it was the most impactful part of the Center for me. I would also suggest a quick walk by the Greyhound station where the freedom riders where beaten, then straight up Dexter Avenue to the State Capitol Bldg. On your way there, the Dexter Ave (King Memorial) Baptist Church is on your right just before the capitol - MLK Jr was the head pastor at this church before he left for Atlanta to head the SCLC. The SPLC and fountain are about a block behind the church. Enjoy!
