A Nostalgia Trip Along US-41, the South’s Route 66

35 Places to Celebrate Black Musicians and How They Changed the World

"The Trap Music Museum is a one-of-a-kind gallery where you can explore the origins of one of Atlanta’s most unique musical genres by stepping inside a recreated “trap house,” complete with a replica drug dealer living room (the “bando”), crack cooking kitchen, armed walk-in closet, and jail cell. While not intending to celebrate or glorify the violence and drugs associated with trap music culture, the museum acknowledges and explores this harsh reality that gave birth to the musical genre that attempts to transcend it. The whole experience is a provocative, over-the-top, and a daringly honest look at this aspect of Atlanta culture that has given rise to a gritty, pulsating, and entirely new style of music. Founded by Atlanta rapper and actor T.I., one of trap music’s forefathers, the museum showcases his recreated closet, featuring clothes, assault rifles, and his 2008 Grammy for Best Rap Performance, which helped catapult him and trap music to international acclaim. Visitors to the museum typically wait outside in a lengthy line before entering through a recreated corner store, which highlights the central role these cheap convenience stores played in poverty-stricken neighborhoods as distribution sites for drug dealers and as the epicenter for trap culture. Naturally, trap music plays as you explore the museum, which also houses a full bar, an add-on escape room, the pink Chevy from artist 2 Chainz’s infamous “Pink Trap House,” and an opportunity to pose with Jeezy’s cocaine snowman while holding prop bricks of cocaine." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

14 of the Best Black-Owned Bars and Restaurants in Atlanta | Eater

"T.I.’s ode to trap music, the genre that was born in Atlanta, is so much more than a museum. Yes, there are exhibits featuring visual artists and installations featuring musical artists, but there’s also a trap-themed escape room. On Thursdays, you can head into the music room for “Sip and Trap,” featuring DJs and cocktails, with complimentary champagne and a private guided tour of the museum. There’s also a bar that’s open Thursday through Sunday. Try out the escape room, and then calm down with the bar’s Port of Miami cocktail made with D’USSÉ Cognac, BACARDÍ Coconut, coconut syrup, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. The Trap Music Museum also works with community partners for programming, like the Juneteenth Virtual Mall, and recently organized the Atlanta Black Business Restoration Fund to help other Black-owned businesses rebuild." - Vox Creative

The Trap Museum is not a place that I would typically tour. However, my cousin and her husband were in town for the weekend and wanted to visit. For the 1st Hip Hop Museum I think that it was pretty cool. I would have liked to see a little more but hopefully it will have the opportunity to grew and become much more historic as it relate to Hip Hop music. The Museum is tastefully designed with a replica of what a trap house looks like inside.

Parking is 20, scamming parking lot attendants will flag you in and force the payment. Unsure if the lot next to it is cheaper or not but a flag person was there as well. $33 per person for the museum easily was $100 for my crew. The museum is cool but very small with cramped exhibits. Very underwhelming! Should be more like $10. You’ll be in and out in 10 minutes or less. I considered the escape room but due to how underwhelming the museum was, I passed. Staff was nice.

Fun experience, they have a bar in the back. Good drinks. Great photo opportunities. Takes about an hour. In the front, there's a granny that is hilarious!! Make sure you stop and talk to her. Lol Parking lot is kinda sketchy. There was a lady taking "cash app" payments for parking. I didn't pay tho. Lol

It was fun and I love the unique creative expression of all the ideas and the way the authentic memories were recorded throughout each exhibit. Great for a couple wanting to get out for an hour or two. The Trap Grandma in the Bando was super funny!! The only suggestion that I would make is improving the air conditioning system especially in the back by the door of the escape room since the back door stays open for guests to have sight of the Trap Food Truck and Apparel vendors etc. while it's warmer outside. My husband and I enjoyed the drinks from the bar inside the museum. There is also Trap City Restaurant right beside the museum for those who want to try that to complete the Trap Outing :-) Parking is $20 just an fyi.

It lives up to the hype. If you are a hip hop fan then this has to be on your bucket list. They really play into the theme as if you are walking into a trap house with your first encounter being that of the hood grandma posted in the living room. You go on a journey from there seeing some iconic items from the culture and learning about moments that you probably didn’t know. The artwork is awesome and some actually available for purchase. They have a bar where you can get good drinks, they have an area to buy merch ( although if you are a larger sized person, they might not have anything for you) The escape room experience is downright amazing. TT will scare you a little but also have you rolling with laughter (word of advice, be knowledgeable about your hip hop if you want to get out of there.) Had a great experience and would go again, they always change exhibits and add or take away things so it’s different each time. Add to your ATL agenda, it’s a must.

I HAD A BLAST! The Trap Music Museum is an ATL must- and I've heard about it for years before coming to ATL. So, when I was here for the weekend, I knew I had to give it a try. I LOVED the museum, so cool and inclusive of trap and hip-hop legends from every city and every decade. Love how they keep switching it up, so you can go several timed, and still be amazed with their new stuff. Music was on 10, and it's not like a regular museum where you silently observe and sneak pictures- everyone is happy to be there and be immersed in the experience. I would HIGHLY recommend their escape room 'Escape the Trap'- our host Peanut was hilarious, and the group was lit. BEST Escape room experience I've ever been a part of. Staff is so friendly too- we were late for our escape room due to rain and traffic, and they squeezed us into another one. SO GRATEFUL, because that really made our whole time! I wish they had a covered walkway, because waiting in the pouring rain to get in was pretty annoying, but walking around inside dried us off and we still got our good pics. Also, Granny in the living room is 10/10- the best!

The Trap Music Museum was set up with great attention to details, but the real icing on the cake for a private booking was the Escape Room feature of the tour. Host was hella funny and activities great for parties big and small. 10/10 would recommend!

Everyone was super friendly and I enjoyed myself. If you’re a hip hop fan in any way, especially the newer artists, I think it’s worth a visit! Bar in the back if you want to get your drink on. Music is good and lots of selfie and photo opportunities!

It was a cool experience. The music was good, the atmosphere was cool and the exhibits were very realistic. It was smaller than I expected but it was still worth the experience. We enjoyed it and took lots of pics.

Great experience! Best thing I've seen so far as a tourist in ATL! Escape the Trap is 10/10. Peanut and Trap Tina killed it! DJ was on point too

The price will throw you off. $20 for parking and $30 tickets. The museum is pretty small but the rooms are impressive. The rooms almost look like music video sets. I did like the drinks at the bar. Strange that the bar charges 20% tip without telling you and then asks for another tip on the card reader. No problem tipping but why ask for a tip twice? We had fun and it is definitely something to do.

Pros: Cool museum. Haven't seen anything like it. There is a bar inside to sit and vibe after viewing all the pieces. Lots of areas to take pictures. Some people are dancing around and enjoying the vibe. How you view the experience may correlate with who you come with. The area in the back has a few local people selling their merchandise and kids walking around selling water bottles . I think it's dope to support the hustle of others. Kind of ties into the idea of the trap life. Cons: Definitely not as big as I expected it would have been. The wait was almost two hours to get in and only took maybe 20 minutes to walk around and read/see/take pictures of everything . If I didn't buy tickets online i honestly would have left. The parking was $20 but you could also stop by the trap cafe afterwards. Overall I would still recommend to those who haven't been just for the experience and photo opportunities. If you are looking for a larger museum, This may not be for you.

I see what they want to accomplish but they could have done way more. It was cool walking through each exhibit but it's super short. There was a line because unfortunately there was no entry times. First come first serve. Parking is NOT free. We paid $20 to park in the dirt. The bar is at the end and they say you cannot take your drinks outside unless you pay $7 for a plastic pouch bag. If that's the case they need to have the drinks first when you walk in. There are some interactive sections like making a video in one of the recording booths, tons of photo ops with the decor and the infamous pink caddy 2 Chainz had a his Trap House. It's cool to visit at least once.

Tip: Book an escape room ticket ($30 per person) during the week and you will get private entry to the museum as well. I heard it gets crazy on the weekend with lines etc so major time saver. Otherwise, the trap museum really dives into the trap culture and gives you insight into how trap and rap came to be. If you are a fan of hip hop then you would definitely enjoy this museum. The only bummer is they were filming a podcast so we weren't able to see two rooms but it was all good. The bar has some solid drinks and the bartender was so friendly. Pretty girls love trap was a good cocktail! The trap city cafe is also right next door that serves really good food and drinks so recommend post visit! Shout out to the escape room crew. They really got into character and made it a good time. It was not easy but they helped us out. Not giving any clues just that they keep you on your toes it's the trap ;-)

First thing first if you plan on driving be aware they have a private parking lot but it is $20 to park in it, in addition to the cost of tickets. All ticket sales are online, and weekends are more expensive, so keep that in mind if you're planning a trip. The museum isn't super big, so personally I think the cost of the ticket a bit much, but I do think if you're going it is much more worth it to do the escape room. The escape room is two rooms of a trap house that you have to escape and it is super fun! They have paid actors that help you through the puzzles. There is tons of beautiful artwork in the museum and even more photo ops for anyone who is looking for something like that. This is a 18+ venue, with a full bar inside so you can really vibe in here with some friends. The merch is outside the exit so if you do want to take anything home make sure to stop there.

This was a fun way to spend an hour! The wait wasn't too bad when we got here but the cocktail prices had me rethinking my entire life, lol. I will say the T.I. room was just... heart eyes. Grab your girls, take some selfies, enjoy some trap music for a little bit... it was a good time!

Extremelt loooong wait. We arrived at 1 ish and it was a like formed outside the building - as expected. As people were exiting they were telling us as we waited in line that it was not worth the wait. It was extremely hot outside! The line was in the beaming sun in 90 degree weather. No free water was given, no fans, just free paper towels handed out. We still waited despite the reviews from people exiting out. We paid $25 to go in - people were paying an extra $20 to skip the line. We decided not to pay an extra 20 so we waited for about 2 hours to get in. The museum was very small than I expected. Its about 3 small rooms with displays and then one big one. I say its not worth it for the price and the wait.

This museum is so lit!!!!! It's definitely a must do when visiting Atlanta. It's a short museum so it doesn't take long. It's $30 at the door and $40 to park. The parking pissed me off I'm not going to lie but I guess. Once you're inside there's lots of southern music history! This is a museum for the culture by the culture and I loved it. They have a nice bar here with trap themed drinks and merchandise for purchase outside. Lots of photo opportunities and it was just an overall nice experience. I suggest going early because it gets packed.

If you are a fan of Atl based Rap and Hip-Hop Artist then you would love this place. This museum is pretty small and doesn't take long to go through. I've been once before back when more people were going to it. The Atlanta attraction still brings tourists who want to take pictures within the museum. I went because a relative of mine wanted to go here. Parking was 20 dollars which isn't bad and you can park your own car. The line wasn't long at all. For my party of three there was 6 people in front of us. Upon entering the exhibit there's an actor who's playing an older grandma doing a skit. That the live only interaction you get. I thought the artwork and photos were incredible evening displaying rapper T.I. Vault showing his quality wardrobe and possessions. Since it is very small people take the longest with taking photos of the infamous pink trap car. It's a good experience however it's really something that is only enjoyable if you're into hip hop/rap genre of music.

Spoiler Alert This indeed is a tourist trap My tip is too arrive as soon as the doors open They will have you standing until the point of desperation in order to have you spend more money to skip the line! Do not do it. Stay strong, endure persevere! Bring your water! Do not give them 20 more dollars for this activity that will take you about 30 minutes from start to finish! Okay so when you finally finally get in it starts with I guess. TI a replica of a trap house living room. The next station is a makeshift drug kitchen. Next they have like omarsh to Jeezy omarsh to future. Carly B has a pole and pictures of her. A couple of thrones for the ladies. All the ladies seem to like the pole. They do have a bar I didn't buy anything at the bar and of course the famous pink coop that everyone likes to take pictures by. They do have a replica of a jail cell inside. Definitely worth the $20. I did not pay for parking which was an additional $20 I learned. So definitely utilize my tips so you can have a pleasant experience.

I went to this museum last summer during a trip to Atlanta. This museum displayed nice hip-hop cultured information and the exhibits were very creative. Although I had a nice experience I would say this is for adults only due to the theme.

Yelp
They are now open on Mondays are probably the weekday. All they do is do an escape room.If I could give zero stars, I would. The hours posted for this business are completely inaccurate, leaving customers frustrated and wasting their time. The lack of basic decency from the owner or whoever is in charge speaks volumes--they clearly don't care about their customers' convenience or experience. If you're looking for a business that values honesty and respect, look elsewhere.

This place is expensive!! Visited from Houston. Paid $20 to park plus $25 to get in like a club. We literally was in there for less than 2 hours, hell probably less than an 1 hour. Definitely for tourists and for people who isn't aware of trap. If you grew up in certain environments, this wasn't new. However, nice photo ops but definitely not worth the money. Parking should be either free or $10. Entry shouldn't be $25 either. Not worth it but cute photos.

Checked this off the list. If you live in ATL or are a tourist, you only need to check this place out one time. It is much smaller than I anticipated, but had some great photo ops. There are some really great art pieces. It is $22 to get in, but be warned parking is $20.

The Trap Music Museum is a glimpse into "The Trap Life" experience. I have discovered that when doing things in Atlanta it is best to go on a week day. No lines, No waits, No hassle, No fuss. So we decided to go to the TMM Escape Room on a Monday evening. There was free street parking available, no lines, and not a lot of traffic, which made it easier to enjoy the exhibits for a longer period of time. The exhibits and paintings were cool but it would have been great if there was a written explanation or video interviews of the artists and the creators of the exhibits. I think it would help to enhance the overall museum experience. There is a jail cell that had a couple letters from and to rappers that have been incarcerated. I would have like a few more letters, in the exhibit, to give it more gravity to the experience of what it's like to be inside a jail cell, as a celebrity. There are a few more artists that could have been added to the exhibit, especially some of our fallen ATL artists like Takeoff, Trouble, Bankroll Fresh, and King Von (even though he's really from the CHI). The museum is small but I could see this museum expanding to a much larger experience. Adding a greeter and maybe adding different sections that pay homage to the rap pioneers and even a section that pays homage to the rappers that are still highly revered today like Pac, Biggie, Snoop, Jay Z, Outkast, Nas, etc. But still the Trap Music Museum is indeed a great idea. The Escape Room was FUN! I gotta give kudos to the two men that ran the room (their names escape me...no pun intended). They were entertaining, funny, and helpful because Lord knows I like Trap Music but don't know the words so some of the clues were waaaay over my head. Note: If you go on weekday, in particular a Monday, there may be a taping of a podcast with some celebrities here and there. You will be asked to remain quiet so keep that in mind.

Coming from Cali it was ok. I'm glad I got to visit and see what the hype was about. Took a hour to get in the line moved very slowly! It was too hot to stand outside for all that. The inside was nice I had a great time it's just too small. $20 for parking it definitely should be free because it wasn't worth it . The bartender was rushing and very short like if she didn't want to be there so guess what I'll kindly keep my money ! But it's definitely a vibe to visit one time

Definitely a must visit for the culture. I read a lot of reviews before coming here and came on a Thursday for the sip & trap (happy hour) to avoid the wait times everyone kept talking about. I also took a Lyft to avoid the $20 parking. The sip & trap Thursdays is $30 and you get a drink ticket for one premium pre-made drink. We got the Pretty Flacko which was pretty good. The whole museum takes about 30 minutes to walk through. I thought it'd be a little bigger but it was a good time!

I was so excited to visit here as I am a huge fan of TI, I was traveling from Chicago, I pull up and some young lady approaches my car and she says "yeah we charging 20 dollars for parking yeah we charging" first off no where on the website does it state this but it was giving a very UNSAFE and GHETTO vibe, so obviously I left but this was disappointing to say to least, this was one of the main things I wanted to do in ATL

It was my first time in ATL and of course I had to check out the Trap Music Museum! My girls and I decided on doing the escape room on Memorial Day. The ticket also included the museum. Since the museum was technically closed but the escape room was open, they allowed us to experience the museum so it was EMPTY! Our Uber drivers even said they're used to lines being down the block to enter this place. I love hip hop culture as I grew up in it so it was fun learning more about it. There were plenty of photo ops, hip hop music and a bar. The museum was bigger than I initially thought as there are many different rooms with specific themes. My favorite room was in the back with all the old hip hop magazines on the wall. Now for the escape room, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was more of like an interactive experience where you don't have to do much to escape. We were only in two rooms and it lasted around 30 minutes. The actors were funny and played their part. All in all, my girls and I had a good experience especially since it was empty haha!

It is smaller than I thought it would be. If you don't do the escape room or want to hang at the bar, it can be a very quick walk through. However, it is a unique space with so much amazing art. I enjoyed what I saw think it's worth the trip.

When in ATL, why not visit the Trap Music Museum? The concept and marketing are impressive. My friend and I purchased tickets in advance for "Sip & Trap Thursdays". We were a part of a group tour guide and sipped Prosecco (no glass, right from the bottle lol). The tour guide did a nice job and was entertaining! The Trap Museum is on the hood side, of course, lol, and I enjoyed the experience for what it was. I love hip-hop culture, and learning more about southern rappers was intriguing. There are plenty of photo ops for people who like to take pictures. There's also music playing and a bar.

It's pretty cool for what it is. How many museums do you get to see that are focused on hip hop culture derivative? The museum is Informative...detailed...nostalgic. $20 parking adjacent. Reasonable entrance fee, I think $20 a person. Security out front for bag check and pat downs. Takes about 30 mins or less to explore the entire museum. Worth a visit if you're into trap music. Nice photo opps. There's a bar at the end and a cafe next door. There's a food truck and smoke shop located at the exit. Was able to Watch a bit of the nba playoff game while passing through the smoke shop. My one question, why no credit to Master P for pioneering rapping about cooking it up? Or at least an honorable mention. Would love to see a museum about black college grads from local colleges and their accomplishments for the culture. Just sayin.

This place was a huge disappointment. One of the major reasons I wanted to come to Atlanta was to visit this place, but I was extremely disappointed. I purchased the ticket ahead of time and we came around 6PM. As we were driving up, we noticed it was really crowded-- from reading previous reviews I noticed we could pay $20 bucks to skip the line, which we did; however, one of my relatives got into a disagreement with the security guard because he seemed to have a Napoleon complex. We made our way inside finally after paying the extra $20, we made our way inside where they scan your confirmation e-mail and make you purchase a mask for $5, if you do not have one. The place was extremely crowded and people just stand around, which makes it difficult to get photos or get up close to anything. They had various photos of different rappers, who were influential to the "trap" music scene, but I just didn't find it as through as it could have been. The museum is relatively small in size so there's not exactly much to see. I'll be honest, it may be worth the 20 bucks, but not the additional 20, for sure. It just was very cold and we didn't have a proper jacket, nor the desire to stand and wait in the cold. You also have to pay for parking, which seemed to be the theme everywhere I went in Atlanta, but that's another story. We probably stayed there 30-40 minutes and it was a huge waste of money. I know this place is really popular, but it's a huge let down from what it actually could be.

This museum is a blast!! Absolutely recommend it to everyone who is a fan of the genre. The escape room was frigging awesome. My advice - take in everything this museum has to offer despite the price and take your time with it. This was meaningful, insightful and also crazy fun! Not posting any pictures because I do not want to give anything away!

Came here approximately a month ago with my cousins for the first time. It was a Sunday and we purchased the tickets in advance online the day of. We waited online upon arrival for about 15 minutes. Once inside, we were asked to present the confirmation code of our tickets. Of course the museum begins with T.I and transitions into various artists like Pusha T, Jeezy, Future, etc. The museum essentially represents a majority of music artists (New and Old) that impacted the culture to some degree. It's important to have your camera app open as you move the museum because people are all around ready to take a photo next. The main attraction is the pink car which is at the very end of the museum. There's always a bar towards the end of the museum. If you get hungry, there's a food truck right outside of the exit.

Spent the weekend in Atlanta and stumbled across this while searching for some attractions to check out. I immediately was interested and the museum did not disappoint. If you're a fan of hip hop at all then you'll enjoy this experience. Heading in to the museum I was already pretty well versed in the history of trap but still managed to discover some new facts and stories from it's relatively short history. You'll see actual hand written verses from TI and Young Dro, the pink Caprice from 2Chainz's trap house project, recreations of the typical trap house experience, some dope art, etc. It's easy to see the whole experience as a glorification of drug culture and it's inherent violence but if you step back and really look & listen then you'll find it to be a much needed education and peak into the culture that has spawned yet another incredible sub genre of hip hop. After seeing this I hope to one day see similar museums / art installations in other hugely influential cities. (NYC, Houston, Memphis, LA, etc) My ONLY complaint is that the museum itself isn't larger. I wish I could wander through and see even more stuff but it's pretty easy to make it through within 30 minutes. Next time I'm in the area I want to check out the escape experience though. The people running the experience are all super nice and you can tell they enjoy what they're doing.

There is something to be said about realizing the image value we have, to make ..to create a value out of "nothing" tho I can't condone the trap life or the music, this museum was lit. Great place for photo ops a great place to learn about a hidden culture with in the music industry and another reason Atlanta in a inspiring place to live. Also there's a secret entrance with a secret password. All the people who work there do a great job commuting to the role. Dope concept and executed flawlessly

This museum was one of the top 3 reasons that I wanted to visit ATL because I LOVE trap music. Additionally, the whole museum provides a good amount of history and tons of photo ops throughout so you can #DoItForTheGram. Just a heads up -- it can got crowded and social distancing isn't very enforced. I purchased tickets online for the Escape The Trap game which includes tickets to the museum. We had the 12pm timeslot which is when the museum opens and arrived a few minutes earlier. We were able to check out the museum and buy drinks at the bar while we waited for the room to be setup (FYI, the Escape the Trap has a separate entrance on the side of the museum). They had a variety of cocktails at the bar and my favorite was the Pee-Lemminay but I was also a fan of the Dope Boy. Escape the Trap was the most fun "escape room" experience that I had! The actors were serious but also made us laugh most of the time. I definitely recommend trying it out, especially if you're visiting as a group.

So this was a nice walk through the Trap music scene. I enjoyed the museum, bar and overall experience. The bar had some newer drinks which will get you nice and right, try the flacko one. My issues didn't arise until we left the building. As we left, a vendor sitting in a white van or he acted as if he was a vendor, tried to sell me and the people in my group narcotics. We were offended by this and didn't know who to speak to at the time. So to the owners, please check on your establishment, this is off putting to visitors who want to support you.

It was an experience. Not as big as I thought. There is a bar inside and the staff are friendly and fun! Drinks were on point. I didn't realize there was an escape room option. The artwork is so good and worth checking out. Be photo ready because you will want to take pictures posing in front of the set ups (I wasn't ready). Next time I come, I will visit the Trap Cafe

The Trap Museum was an okay experience. When I hear "Museum," I am expecting to have an educational experience - similar to the museums you'd get in DC or NYC. We were waiting outside and getting pat down from security as if we were going to a club. After going through the museum, I couldn't figure out what the purpose was. It highlighted aspects of Trap music, but it also seemed to glamorize the not-so-good of aspects of Trap life (the illegal guns, drug smuggling, and violence, to name a few).

This place was so fun! Grabbed tickets online for the same day, no timed entry, but a club line to get in. It was fun, and creative. The museum is about the trap culture in hip hop and it definitely makes sure of it. All things trap music can be found here. Even cardi b lol. The bar had an amazing drink, and you get a to go cup. The drinks were great, and strong!! The amount of photo opps this place has is a creators dream! The music was good. I highly recommend if you're bored in Atlanta. (Parking is $20!) cash only.. ‍

A fun selfie museum. You should definitely stop by at least once. Learn some hip-hop history.

So let's focus first on the good. My cousin had a great time here. She was visiting from Chicago and wanted to check out this museum. I loved the detail on everything. I took a lot of pictures but I won't post them all. I don't want give away everything. A must see if you love/like the culture. I wish some exhibits had information next to them to describe the significance of what was shown and what it means to the culture. My family and I felt that it was way too small. It didn't take us long to go through everything. I guess I expected more. To me it's not a place for children. They play trap music (explicit). Expect a very long line. I was charged $20.00 to park. They do have a lot of parking but this is way too much money to pay. It cost $20.00 to get in. No outside drinks I had to throw away my water bottle. Masks are required or you will have to pay $5.00 for one.

I would recommend going but just for the culture and to say you went. The price was pretty high in my opinion for the amount stuff there is to look at. I don't think I was there for more than 30 mins, and probable was only in there for that long because was talking to my friend. I don't remember the name of the tickets I got but it came with a drink. I did not like the drink, but my friend did and she ended up drinking mine as well. It was some type of bubbly can wine

This was a nice little place to go visit if you like art and hip hop of course. The museum had a mixture of beautiful artwork of rappers from the old school and now. It also had a few virtual interactive activities as well. My favorite was Gucci Mane's trap kitchen where I cooked up a few pounds. Lol! I also liked the replica of Lil Wayne's jail cell with a framed notebook page of lyrics that he wrote while in jail. The trap house also had some actors that made you feel like you were a part of the trap scene. Lol! The trap house has a huge bar inside as well. I felt like they could make the bar smaller and add more rap and hip hop culture. The place was smaller than I thought and so much more could be done. I mean this year is the 25th anniversary of rap/hip hop. In a nutshell, the Trap Music Museum is a cute fun place to go and I can't wait to see more! I would love to see a journey through rap/hip hop starting from the past until now. I know that everything can't be covered but just enough. A tribute to more of our fallen rappers would be dope as well. I would take visitors to this place!

This experience is a one and done. Tickets are $25 per person. On top of the ticket price you pay $20 to park onsite. A sleepy and or breathless attendent took our money and guided us into a make shift parking area. There was no receipt or tag for the car. We walked up to the line...yes a line. An uncovered line in 90 degree heat. This line was located near a parking lot as well. I was confused as to if that parking lot also charged $20 as well since I didn't see an attendant. There had to be about 40-50 people in the line with more people coming. They did not provide any water or fans or anything. About 20 minutes into our wait, a rep made an announcement to the line something like: "We are trying to get you all in quickly. We can't have too many people in the building all at once due to Covid and Monkey pox.As people come out we let more people in." We waited about 40 minutes in line. Umm, there has to be a better business model. Does T.I. know that this is how they are running his business? How often does he get here to see what's going on? If you have to limit the number of people in at a time, why not do timed tickets so that you can ensure a safe number of people in the building at a time and hopefully reduce the line. They will try to up sale you with the $20 skip the line offer...not worth it. You will only be in there about 30 minutes or so. It's warm inside as well. The art work is great. This place needs more and a better customer experience.

I'm glad I was able to check out the Trap Music Museum. It took me back to an era while also connecting with the modern revival of trap music. For hip-hop fans and/or those interested in an exploration of 2000s cultural history, I highly recommend.

I live in ATL and try to avoid tourist traps. Lol! But a friend was in town and wanted to do all things ATL. Of course we had to hit the Trap Museum. I'm so glad we did! Such a fun time. The staff are super cool, friendly, and funny af! Lol! The music is, of course, a vibe, and the drinks are really good. Like, top tier drinks. It's also interactive. You can lay a track, cook up your own crack, go to jail, and talk to granny. The entire aspect of the trap is represented, and I appreciate that. Some dope photo ops too. If you love trap music and the history of southern rap, you've got to give this spot a try. It's so well done. ATLien approved!! Masks aren't enforced (if you care).

As a major hip hop head, I've been dying to visit the trap museum since it first opened. After spending this past weekend in ATL, I finally got the chance. My experience was....well, let's just say it was lackluster. Prior to traveling to GA, I knew from social media that Covid precautions didn't exist. But I was surprised to walk into the building to find that they had the museum packed past maximum capacity! We couldn't even take pictures of the displays because their were literally people on every inch of the building. The area which houses the pink car was the most populated. Taken a picture by the car was impossible. People weren't even looking at the exhibits, they were standing around socializing like it was a club. I guess the fully stocked bar was giving folks a reason to stick around. I definitely feel as if my trip would have been more enjoyable with less people. Maybe I can visit again in the future on a weekday with hopes that it will be less crowded. On any note, the museum is a dope concept and I am glad that I was able to experience it.

If you're into hip-hop. Definitely go here. We loved seeing all the wonderful art on the wall. The detail to the set up was impressive. They did a fantastic job. My recommendations: - Provide some kind of souvenir for people to leave with - Figure out the parking situation, it was kind of a mess

This was definitely a very dope experience. It was nice seeing all the amazing pieces and the recapturing of certain lifestyle experiences. The art in itself was really nice and creative. The thought process that went through some of these pieces were clearly relayed. The only semi "bad" experience was the wait to get in. If you don't want to wait long, you have to pay $20 per person to skip the line, which is what we did. We waited maybe 15 minutes and decided that they could have our $20. The experience inside overpowered the pay to skip the line. I definitely think this is cool place to visit for those who haven't been.

I honestly felt like this was an overrated experience and definitely not worth $20. So we bought tickets online thinking we would pick a date and time to go. They basically just say doors open at 4. We got there around 4:30p and the line was wrapped around the building. We waited probably an hour and a half. Meanwhile employees were coming to the line telling me if they wanted to skip the line it would be an extra $20. We finally made it in and it was smaller than I expected. It was also very packed with people. It was so many people in each room you couldnt really get to enjoy the experience. They definitely need time slots for visitors. At the end of the exhibit is a bar with expensive drinks. People were dancing and drinking like it was a club. The line to take pics with the pink car was wrapped around the room. We just left. I definitely won't be back.

Nothing original. Looks like pics they printed from offline and movie props. Would have liked to see actual items from the artist. It was not a museum more like a picture gallery. Plus online the price was $25 when we got to the door they said $30. Parking was also $30. Felt cheated. My out of town guest were not impressed as I'd hoped.
