    Discovery Park of America in Everett Boulevard, Union City, Tennessee is a big 50 acre heritage…read morepark and 100,000 square foot museum full of history and culture. It showcases galleries for science, military, technology, space, art, history and a lot more. The museum features a 4D earthquake simulation, displays of military aircraft, vehicles, equipment and uniforms, dinosaurs, fossils and prehistoric artifacts, a theater and an observation tower. The heritage park have beautifully extensive landscaped area that have a man made river, waferfall, bridges, and water features. It also built an early 20th century town with a working gristmill and windmill, beautiful gardens, 19th century frontier settlement, 120 year old church, and old train station and depot. A lot of learning experience and knowledge will be gained from the really cool and fascinating exhibits displayed all over the property. There is a fastfood store inside in case you get hungry or thirsty with lots of dining tables and chairs in the airconditioned room. Check it out!

    This place was so much fun to visit! It's just far enough away from Memphis to be considered a…read more"trip" but definitely a quick day trip! And definitely worth the trek!!! We went with three different generations of our family and all three had a great time. (And all three generations went down the massive multi-story indoor slide!!!) The grounds are LOVELY and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to explore all the outdoor exhibits. Our favorite indoor exhibit was the torture chamber! How fascinating!!! And the kids absolutely loved the water play on the highest level! I feel like this is a place you can visit over and over again and not see it all or have a new experience each time. If you're in the area: do give it a try! I bet you'll find something to enjoy.

    Mud Island Park in Memphis--sounds like a place where you'd expect to get your shoes stuck and your…read moreclothes ruined. Spoiler alert: no mud, just a whole lot of chill vibes and some seriously underrated views of the Mississippi River. You hop on the monorail, which feels like a low-key retro space mission, and zoom over the water with the Memphis skyline photobombing every shot. The Riverwalk--this giant scale model of the Mississippi--is like geography class got cool and decided to throw a party. Walking the entire river in flip-flops while dodging kids launching into the splash fountains? Perfect way to get your steps in and your funny stories ready. Bonus points for the picnic spots, perfect for pretending you're fancy while eating a sandwich you packed in your car. If you're in Memphis and want a little riverfront chill without the mud, Mud Island's your spot. Five stars and zero mud in sight!

    Quality/Quantity - Memphis TN's welcome center suggested we walk over here and check it out…read more I bet in its heyday, this place was a great retreat from the "city." This place can use some love, but we still had a good time and enjoyed it. The tram was also out of order, but it was fun walking across the bridge. Atmosphere - An island off of Memphis. Most of this island needs love. Looked abandoned for a long time. Open 7 days a week from 7am to 5pm. Easy walk from the welcome center. Service - Self service. Price - Free. Owner Comment - If the city, county, and state were to invest a little $$ here, I can see how this could easily be 5 stars.

    I enjoyed about two hours at the Fire Museum, viewing fire trucks, viewing photographs of the fire…read moredepartment's largest incidents, seeing memorabilia and fire equipment. I lucked out and one of your volunteers kicked off the "fire" video. Super interesting but honestly, a quick hit with a fire extinguisher would have saved a lot of drama. It's not the largest fire museum I've been to - the Hall of Flame in Tempe probably - but it's interesting and there is much to see and experience here. Well worth the time. If you can visit on a weekend when there aren't busloads of kids, that would be ideal. [Review 19848 overall - round number 400 in Tennessee - 821 of 2023.]

    Outstanding museum for kids. The first section of the museum is a collection of firefighting…read moreequipment throughout history: fire trucks, hoses, masks, extinguishers, etc. This section also includes a corny but helpful video about when to call 911 and a display with hundreds of fire truck toys. There is a tour guide (retired firefighter) to lead visitors through the first half of the museum and answer questions. Older children and adults will find this part of the museum interesting, but what makes the Memphis Fire Museum exceptional is the second half, where children are free to explore a completely interactive room of fire truck and ambulance vehicles. On the second floor there is a fire simulator where visitors can watch (and feel the heat!) from a simulated house fire. On a Tuesday around 1pm, we pretty much had the museum to ourselves. I'm sure this isn't always the case, but frankly all of Memphis felt a little abandoned. It appears as though the city hasn't yet recovered post-COVID. We paid $46 for our family of 8 to visit the museum (but the baby was free) and I think it was worth every penny. I'm not sure how impressed a group of adults would be with the museum, but it's worth a trip for anyone with kids. Do go!
