    Do yourself a favor, and visit here whether you think you would like it or not. We just visited the Carter center for the first time. I have never been a fan of Jimmy Carter, and honestly wasn't very interested. The Carter Center changed my mind! Not only is the place very well laid out, the story of Jimmy Carter is riveting. Do yourself a favor, and look into a man with one of the worst presidential reputations, who has done surprisingly more for good, then I ever imagined. That being said, the museum is very well laid out, and all the subject matter inside is interesting and Interactive. I was shocked that even my seven-year-old had enough to do that was interactive to keep him occupied! There is a good flow to the museum, and the information is very positive! What a refreshing opposite from the norm. Do yourself a favor, and visit here whether you think you would like it or not. If you walk in with an open mind, you will not be disappointed!

    Enjoyed my time here visiting with colleagues from habitat for Humanity from around the world to appreciate a man who has done so much to further our cause. Was plain to see why and how all roads led to the presidency and then to Habitat ambassador. From such an early age Jimmy picked up the work ethic and values from people he surrounded himself with. Nice scenery and statue outdoors. Completely random movie memorabilia section which I didn’t understand..and was a stretch to link to JC but I believe this was a temporary display

    I attended the BronzeLens Film Festival Awards ceremony. The venue was perfect for the event. It was Chapel was well laid out with a great reception area including a bar for the early arriving guests to congregate comfortably until the ceremony actually started.

    The Carter Library and Museum is well worth the visit. So much more to the president and his wife than ever publicized. A true humanitarian. Lovely grounds.

    We attended Strange Saturday highlighting the Ga Film Exhibit. Loved all of it! They had Leopold’s ice cream for sell in the gift shop that you can normally only get in Savannah. The event was well organized and the film exhibit was fun. It was also neat to see the Oval Office from when he was in The White House. Adults are $12, children (the age is pretty high) are free. Definitely go see the Ga Film Exhibit.

    Well worth a visit. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter are the real deal. Hardworking, earnest, they really stand for people, freedom, justice and peace. They have built a wonderful legacy.

    Another peaceful tranquil walk with the beautifully kept gardens here. Great place to forget any troubles one may feel another great morning walk around the memorial lake here. The market day is one of my favorite times every Sat morning and it very kids and leashed dogs friendly too.

    Very informative museum located on beautiful grounds. The museum highlights Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter's early years, the Whitehouse years, and their work since the Whitehouse.

    Such a beautiful tribute to President Carter and his legacy. I learned so much about a President I was too young to vote for but, followed in the news. The grounds and surrounding gardens are beautiful and tranquil... My only disappointment was the gift shop not having in stock items we wanted to purchase and they would not sell the display. The staff was friendly and attentive too!

    I love Jimmy Carter! He is a God fearing man. I toured the Carter Center and loved it! So much information. I loved the exhibit showing Presidents, their accomplishments and a picture of their Presidential Library. I believe it started with President Roosevelt. A great place to take the family!

    Very pretty park and farmers market on the weekends. The actual center is hard to visit due to timed entry requirements.

    I wished more items displayed, but all nicely presented with clear narratives. I've been to a number of Presidental museums, and the Ford, Lincoln and Eisenhower museums are by far the most interesting.

    Love the work being done and speaking events held here. The peaceful grounds are a beautiful refuge from the city and easy to get to by bicycle.

    This is really a beautiful place, inside and out. It's got great grounds, even for walking with your dog. I go there for one show that's held once a year, so I'm really there for the show, but it's always so pleasant there and I'm glad the show is held there.

    We were in the area ealy on a Sunday so the Presidential Library wasn't open yet, so we just walked the grounds, which are beautiful.

    Carter Center is a neat spot to walk bike through. The Saturday market is great. The Trees Atlanta Annual sale was fantastic.

  • 5/5 Jonas B. 2 years ago on Google
    The grounds were very nice, I went after hours so I never made it inside.

  • 5/5 Loretta C. 5 months ago on Google
    The Carter Center is a wonderful foundation. I have been donating to it for years. Since former President Carter has left office, he hasn't finished his job at being a good Christian and leader. Mrs Carter is his partner who helps him lead and in their Christian faith. They are true Christians.

😠 Gateway does have amazing resources! However, they have the worst attitudes! Not everybody, but majority seem miserable to be working with people in the most neediest time of their lives!
