Reviews of David J. Sencer CDC Museum (Museum)

Lorenzo Perez Vera

The security guards are rude and cannot communicate clearly. When you get to the CDC you go right to the stop signs. There you will be asked for your driver license and open all doors, trunk, and hood. Once inside your asked for your driver license and go through a metal detector. Then you can access the museum. Place is small but very nice. Museum is very informative.

Nadine Hermann

Great information. Really opens up your eyes to some really interesting information. He current Ebola exibits shows the scope of that epidemic.

Good museum while you wait at the visitor center. Not worth the trip to visit dedicatedly

Omar Khan

While in the area, I took a few hours to visit the museum. It is very small but still quite fun. If you work in a health-related field, you'll really appreciate the exhibits.

Erica Bednar

Free, well kept and curated museum with 2 floors of exhibits (1 permanent and 1 rotating). Parking was not available at the time of my visit, but free garage parking was available for 3 hours in the shopping area across the street. I wish there had been a gift shop, as I would have liked to buy a souvenir with the CDC logo.

Marisol Ortiz

Free Admission. Truly unique and eye opening Museum at Centers for Disease Control & Prevention headquarters showcasing public-health history. Incredibly interesting. Must have an ID to enter. And they check all visitor's vehicle's. Free parking. Yes, you are allowed to take pictures.

Mickie Huguet

Small museum but interesting to learn. It is located on the CDC headquarters so you will need identification and your car will be searched but other than that pretty cool place

It's very interesting to learn of the history of the CDC and their impact on world health. Great exhibits. I was here for the Atlanta Science Festival open house and it was a good time.

Ann Huang

Love their introduced of disease and those machines in the museum.

sandra young

The CDC has lots of interesting information about past and present diseases and outbreaks. Very interesting place for our students to visit!

Cindy Book

One of my favorite places ever!!

Jodie Chestnut

This Museum is wonderful; and full of the history and origin of Diseases and such. Everyone should come visit it!

Lyn Allan

Great experience and museum to visit while in ATL. Open late on Thursdays which helps of you're locked in to a standard schedule.

Thomas Johnston

You have no idea how so seemingly few people do so much to protect the world. You won’t take world health for granted after a visit.

Walter Rivas

Very informative

Free & informative! All the employees were friendly & helpful. There are so many exhibits of all kinds of topics & historic equipment. The layout can be confusing, but whatever order you view it in is fine. I lived how they incorporated art into the museum too.

This is a really cool place and is loaded with information. A quick breakdown Good: - free!! - loaded with information on diseases and epide.ics from the recent Ebola outbreak in Western Africa to the AIDS scare of the 90's and even earlier epidemics like Polio and smallpox. - they have a lot of real world items that would have been used in handling outbreaks, helps make these events feel real. (MINOR) Bad: - you're not allowed to take pictures of the outsides of the buildings in the compound and even certain areas inside the museum. This isn't apparent and they don't have signs posted anywhere, when I went to take a picture, I got yelled at by security guards. What's the big deal, they showed it all on The Walking Dead anyway

New Ebola exhibition is impressive

Makeda Kay

I work here love it!!!

Herakles Li

A nice mini museum inside the CDC global communications building. Not exactly something most people can get into, but worth sparing half an hour to explore if you are here.

Momma Guevara

Pretty cool place! Be prepared to have your car searched especially if you’re a first time visitor. I wish I had cleaned it but security was thorough and somehow managed to see past the trash and grime in my back seats. Heading into the actual building there is another security check but once in the museum you’ll find all sorts of fascinating facts and relics. I left there informed, paranoid and fascinated all at once. The latest exhibit had the most beautiful displays of diseases I’d ever seen! One might say that it’s irresponsible to make typhoid fever look so darling. I say, those were excellent displays of artistry & creativity.

Colleen Caffeine

Great information explaining the role of the CDC and accomplishments. Very interesting displays. Free parking and admission. Everyone we encountered was helpful and very friendly.

Dave Turnquist

Very cool experience to visit the CDC museum in ATL. It's free and takes about an hour, maybe 2. They are very strict when entering the facility, so be prepared to have your car searched, ID's checked, metal detectors, etc.

Matthew Bailey

This place is pretty neat. If you are in healthcare, I strongly encourage you to check it out. There is a lot of history about the CDC and some of the epidemics that have hit the world. There are some pretty neat artifacts as well. They have everything from an iron lung to small box vaccination packs. I wish I could have tried in the biohazard suit though. Security is pretty tight as it should be so make sure you have an ID and be prepared for them to search your vehicle.

Alexander Vallar

This experience is very educational and is full of unique facts. The museum is also free and easy access using the Marta system. I was expecting the exhibit to be larger and more interactive.

Charles Carlin

This museum is a fabulous niche museum that really held my interest during my entire visit. The mysteries that have been solved by the Center for Disease Control are chronicled here and there are so many cases they have cracked over the decades. This is such an eye opener of a place. This is a don't miss, under-publicized gem of a museum. Note it is associated with the Smithsonian and is world class!

Xiangxi Meng

It is like a private field trip into the world of public heath. The only problem is that, the area is so limited thus obviously some exhibits have been removed to make room for recent additions. I believe much more can be done to transform this place into a best museum for public health in the world. Frankly speaking, for those without a knowledge in the related field, and in the CDC itself, it will likely be very confusing. I do appreciate it because I have read so many books, taken so many courses. For a teenager, I doubt he or she can learn much about the concept it tries to convey.

Earl Cohen

The museum had a lot of interesting info on the history of the CDC and its role.

Tammy Strickfaden

Nice information. Current exhibit is about Ebola.

Anthony Staraitis

Exhibit on Ebola. It said dont eat a dead monkey. Really how about you punch your own poop.

Gabrielle Salazar

Great exhibits. The Ebola section was quite interesting. FYI - When you enter the premises your vehicle will get searched. Must show Id's to enter museum.

Candice Capps

That she is my step mom I love her

Sandra Arneson

Awesome! Any science junky will love to visit!

Sohyun Park

Great!

Shawn Awesome

I didn't catch a cold!

David Fluker

I've taken many people to the CDC Museum over the years and everyone has enjoyed it and learned something. They displays are very well done and include information about CDC and its history, public health, and several historic outbreaks. Right now there is an excellent display area about the Ebola outbreak and response. And it is free.

Colin Lyons

Great museum to nerd out to!

Bianca Alcantara

So Amazing

Douglas Lloyd

NOTHING LESS THAN SPECTACULAR - I REMEMBER DAVID GAVE ME MY FIRST BRIEFING AT CDC ON AIDS. THE MUSEUM THAT BEARS HIS NAME IS PHENOMENAL. A MUST SEE FOR ANYONE WHO VISITS ATLANTA. DOUGLAS SEWARD LLOYD MD MPH FACPM CT SHO 1973-1987.

Loved learning about diseases and both the history of the CDC but also the global role they play in improving global health.

Ronnie Allen Cavender

More people should visit this place when visiting Atlanta!

Sam Rangel

The staff at the museum are incredibly friendly and willing to go above and beyond what I would think there job is. A good place to take a group of people for a fun and educational experience.

Roberta Lynn

I booked a docent tour for a group of older visitors, some with physical limitations. TWICE I spoke with someone on the telephone to confirm parking and was assured of Visitor parking. When we arrived the guard told us there was not parking available (all full) and we had to 'find our own.' One car of folks was told by a female guard that they could find other parking or 'go home.' The museum is very interesting but not advising visitors of possible parking issues is a big zero.

Jeremy m

Nice museum. It's free so you can't really argue with that. But, cdc, IF ANYBODY IS LISTENING; you can't have an iron lung exhibit and not let people crawl inside for photos. Why? Why even have it? An iron lung DEMANDS photo ops. It's almost cruel and abusive.

Joseph Thornburg

Very informative. Scary to think about how these diseases are very virulent and how they are contained.

Anna Laura M

Such a cool museum! Security is pretty intense getting in, but it was worth it. The exhibits are really well done and very interesting. I will be back!

John Whitehill Jr.

It is always fun to stop by and walk through the history of the CDC. The changing theme of the showcase is also fun to learn about the response to Ebola, the newest strain of Zika, or health disparities in public health. I always try to make time to walk to exhibits when they change because I always get something out of the experience.

Ashley Shivers

Very interesting exhibits. Small but there is so much to see. Initial security checks are pretty extensive just a warning.

Baylor Nicole Love

Extremely informative and interesting
