    My son and I had a blast at the carter center what an amazing experience. The freedom center was beautifully designed. I highly recommend it to everyone and it only cost me $12.00 for the both of us truly amazing.

    I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was nice and quiet. There were a few people biking or walking on the trail. The trail is nice and there are sculptures along it. There’s plenty of open space to play lawn games or throw a ball/frisbee around.

    Love freedom park farmers market. Always worth it to go early. There will still be lines but worth it. Proof super sourdough bread with banner butter and all the fresh radish microgreens and bright tomatoes will make it worth the wait. They had chanterelles AND lions mane last weekend.

    I love this park. I love all parks actually. I love this park particularly because 9 minutes from downtown I can go somewhere and not see another person in any direction.

    Ever heard the Donna Summer’s song “MacArthur Park”? THIS is such a place. Perfect to lay out a picnic blanket with your boo or friends and just melt away into the scenic beauty of this paradise. Yoga, VEO scooter rides, fútbol, and so many other opportunities to enjoy the day! Love love love Little Five Points.

    The freedom park farmers market is full of incredible products and people alike. There isn't anything quite like being able to speak to the person who grew the veggies you're buying or who tended the animals to make sure they had a good life. Truly putting money back into our direct communities is something I wish more people had the means to do. If you are looking for a fun Saturday morning stroll the park is a perfect location and hey why not start or stop at the farmers market for a fresh cup of coffee and locally made pastry to sweeten the deal? It's a win, win. Oh and sometimes they have baby animals! I know! You thought it couldn't get any better! 😉

    Great Farmers market every Saturday. Very diverse group of vendors, with great products. It's wonderful to be able to get fresh produce right down the street!

    Best farmers market in atlanta, because its the only one where masks are required and hand washing is mandated at entry. They know what's up and how to keep you safe while getting some of Georgia's best for farm to your home table.

  • 5/5 Amber B. 3 years ago on Google
    It's one of those places where you should bring a good book to read, a blanket to lay on, and a person to share it with. It's beautiful, in the heart of Atlanta, and clean. A great place to social distance but still be in a "social" environment. No need to be cooped up in your house when you can be here.

    We visited the presidential library over the long weekend. It's small but there is a lot of information here. It can be quick or you can take your time and read everything.

  • 5/5 Paula P. 3 months ago on Google • 163 reviews New
    My 2nd presidential library visit & I loved the place. The Carter family history & grounds were amazing

  • 5/5 Sandera R. 4 months ago on Google • 141 reviews
    Jimmy Carters museum and grounds are definitely worth a visit. Please allow at least 3 hours or more to stop and read the exhibits as well as the films. The grounds are beautiful well maintained.

  • 5/5 Joe O. 5 months ago on Google • 134 reviews
    History is always enjoyable. I was really impressed by the humanitarian outreach this man has accomplished. You can disagree with his politics but you have to admire his devotion to mankind.

    I only got to see the outside. It is well maintained.

    What can be said about Jimmy Carter other than he was a great person and caring human being. His accomplishments at peace making and helping people both in the U.S. and all over the world are all shown through well done exhibits. Enjoyed this place.

  • 5/5 renee m. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum.

  • 3/5 Mark H. 2 years ago on Google
    Although Freedom Park is situated on top of a hill there is not much of a view and no places for family activities. There is a small flower garden, but the main purpose of the park is to house the Carter Center and the Carter Museum. If you're interested in political leaders, the Carter Museum is worth a visit. The life of President Jimmy Carter is inspiring and he truly believed in ideals such as equality and freedom with responsibility. He famously brokered middle east peace between Israel and Egypt and was at the forefront of green technology.

    Nice large park with lots of recreational opportunities

  • 5/5 Josephine M. 2 years ago on Google
    Freedom Park is a wonderful place, with a nice family-friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this place, if you and your family want to go somewhere that is peaceful.

  • 4/5 Nancy E. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the MLK Historical Museum and church - excellent history lesson. The reflection pool and wall quotes are inspiration to all who visit. Make sure you pause at the eternal flame for a quick moment to image "a world without violence." USA is still a work in progress...

    Farmers's market at the Carter Center. Gorgeous trees and grounds. Good selection of products. Unfortunately, the Carter Center was closed due to Covid.

    Historical and beautiful! Love it.

  • 4/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place for a walk on a rainy day or after a recent rain. Most of The paths are paved so you won't get muddy feet. A few enjoyable art sculptures and historical information markers. It would be nice if they had provisions to avoid crossing busy streets.

  • 4/5 Lovely S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Brenda H. 11 months ago on Google
    Just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. In a large, hectic environment like Atlanta it is nice to have a quiet place to breathe and see something besides cars and buildings. Today on a Saturday morning there was a farmers market at the park entrance.

  • 4/5 T C. 11 months ago on Google
    I love the Farmers market on Saturday. It happens rain or shine. They also have the double your money for EBT customers. Fresh produce, Pupusa's, Bagels, fresh juice, tonics, mushrooms. FANTASTIC vendors!!!!!

  • 5/5 Joel G. 9 months ago on Google
    Beautiful park with so much to do. Right near the Jimmy Carter Museum and the Beltline. You can walk, run, bike, etc this park all day long and not be bored. So beautiful and used by residents in Atlanta.

    I brought my family to Freedom Park back in 2000 when President Jimmy Carter, former Governor Roy Barnes & Mayor Campbell served as the Ribbon Cutters during the dedication ceremony. More visits for family gatherings, picnics & exercise. Fast forward to the present it's been ions since I've been here & thanks to an outdoor Yoga Class, I have returned. One of Atlanta's largest parks next to the Carter Center. Neighboring areas - Beltline's Eastside Trail, Candler Park, Inman Park/Reynoldstown Marta, Little Five Points, Old Fourth Ward & The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site to name a few. Regarding the Parkway, traveling on Interstate 85/75 in either direction I use to see Andrew Young's name on the signage. Now it has been rededicated as the John Lewis Freedom Parkway. The four-lane "limited access" road runs through The Freedom Park with the roads connecting to both Ponce de Leon & Moreland Avenues. Every Saturday from March - December The Freedom Farmers' Market (located at the Carter Center) offers live music, kids activities & pop-up foodie tents. Due to C-19, the temporary hours are 9A-Noon. The park also offers The Freedom Barkway Dog Park, an enclosed space where off-leash dogs can do their thing. Whether you bike, jog, walk or attend fitness classes in a communal setting, Freedom Park provides lively artwork/displays & scenic trails amongst a friendly & well-manicured park.

    Really nice and well maintained park. A small but fun track to bike/walk/run. Parking can be a challenge to find though there is some street parking.
