My husband loves to go to the Muhammad Center. You can tour the facility and watch fights on the TV's around the center. The gift shop has all kind of Ali products and the pictures and newspaper clippings are interesting to read. Don't miss this place

An extraordinary museum where you will not be bored. My wife is not a boxing fan but was amazed at how Ali could accomplish in his lifetime as a boxer, this is a first class place where you can easily spend 2 hours in. It is located on main and walking distance to hotels and restaurants.

He was and this is, the Greatest. Apparently he still sneaks in every now and then to view the short film at the beginning of the tour to surprise visitors.

I was a little disappointed since there were plenty of photos/movies but very little memorabilia. Also, some tapes of his early years were racist (all whites are devils) I could have done without. Although I admire the man and have met him several times, I expected a better presentation.

Great! Great! Great! Happy to see a tribute to him of his struggles and accomplishments while he was alive. He is truly the Greatest in the boxing category of all times.. I have not even watch boxing since that era of Ali, Foreman & Spinks.

The center was great,lots of interaction with the exhibits.Very educational as the civil rights era was addressed from a sports perspective. Very modern , just very great experience.Just other indication that Ali is the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T).
