Wasn't sure what to expect, as I'm not the biggest history buff, but this was fantastic and 90 minutes sped by. Very inspiring and moving. We highly enjoyed and recommend this experience.Full review by Winnipeg4
I know there were signs for bus/RV parking. I did not see it because it was in a different direction. I can say that we went first thing in the am and there were not a lot of people. …

I've heard there is a cafeteria at this Museum. For lunch, is the food reasonably priced, and what kind of food do they serve?

There is a cafeteria which opens at noon, it has indoor and outdoor seating and is nice and airy. The food offered is written down on a blackboard and I believe it changes daily. When I was there they had roasted chicken, potatoes, gravy, rice and some vegetables. I think you pay a single price for the whole order. I didn't eat there (because there were no vegetarian options and didn't want to pay a full price for just the vegetables) so I'm not entirely sure of what the charge is -I vaguely remember it being something between 10-15 USD but don't hold me to it.
What would the nearest public transport option from Downtown Atlanta be? I'm staying near the Peachtree Centre. The nearest train station looks quite far from the library. Are there any buses which stop here?
A:
You can walk to a bus stop. Here are the directions from Google Maps. Good luck. Google Maps#TAB#4:51 PM - 5:11 PM (20 min) 498 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA …

We are driving our own car, stayed last night on McDonough drive. How much is parking at museum and should we drive ourselves or take a cab? How crazy is it to drive to downtown Atlanta?
