"MUST SEE! It’s the KING! Outside monument. No fees, open to the public year round. Great overview of the water; Memorial store across to purchase education materials & souvenirs. Different MLK Jr quotes are around the outer area of the statue. The entire memorial visit can be done in less than 30min. Wheelchair Accessible; Very clean and plenty of parking and easy photos when we went during Black History Month on a Sunday. Our special day was 2/4/2024! 10/10 recommend!"

"A beautiful and fitting memorial. I especially appreciate that the base of the sculpture is not fully completed, signifying that we all still have work to do to continue the work of Dr King."

"Beautiful and moving place for reflection. Especially at night. Visited many times but this image felt poignant. Almost as if Dr. King was shedding tears"

"The Martin Luther King monument in DC deserves recognition for its historical significance, but it falls short of expectations. While the towering statue of Dr. King is impressive, the overall design feels somewhat uninspired. The lack of interactivity or informative elements leaves visitors wanting more context about his life and legacy. Additionally, the surrounding area could use better maintenance. It's worth a visit for its historical value, but it may not leave a lasting impression compared to other monuments in Washington, D.C."

"I had an amazing opportunity to watch a movie on the grass across from the MLK memorial in Washington DC, and it was an unforgettable experience. The setup was incredible, with a large outdoor screen set up against the backdrop of the MLK memorial, creating a truly unique atmosphere."
