    My friend and I went here for a quick stroll. It is a really small museum and you can take an hour…read moreto walk through. It is not as modern but there are some great art pieces present and interactive art for the kiddos. They also have some fun chairs. The staff was very friendly and you enter free before noon on Saturdays. Parking may be an issue since it has to be on the road side. The zoo is pretty close by so it would be great to do both in a day.

    How do you go to Graceland and not write a review? Don't ask me…read more It was a really cool experience walking through the mansion and its grounds just imagining Elvis and his life there. Everything is so well-maintained and in pristine condition. A true time capsule. Getting to see everything there as well as the Lisa Marie plane and the large warehouse displaying everything from his cars to outfits, Lisa Marie's baby toys, his army uniform and more was so fascinating. On the wall outside of the mansion visitors have written messages, their names and where they're from etc. We did as well. Maybe one day we'll visit again and try to find what we penned on the wall.

    Visited Graceland four times since 2014, and it keeps getting better…read more My 2026 visit really surprised me! The exterior and overall setup now feel a lot like a Disney-style theme park. The experience is much more polished, and the opening film about Elvis makes his legacy easy to appreciate even if we didn't grow up knowing much about him. There are also more exhibits now, and we could tell they've invested a lot into improving it. Only downside: a really mean staff member outside the ticket area who stopped us and questioned our ticket choice quite aggressively, insisting there was no such thing as a "basic" ticket. As the person who has visited three times before, I had to explain that I meant the most basic tier they offer and then finally she let me go. It felt rude and a bit disrespectful, especially since the other staff members were so nice and welcoming. Still a great experience overall, just wish the front-line service matched the rest.

That, and the disco balls. Sadly, the disco balls weren't used during the presentation of "Bear Tales and Other Grizzly Stories". The lights dimmed, and I leaned back and watched as the star machine and projectors flashed the night sky onto the planetarium's domed ceiling. The current program at the planetarium is about a family looking at the night sky and telling the stories behind some of the most well-known constellations. The current show, "Bear Tales and Other Grizzly Stories", is about 30 minutes long and completely family friendly (it closes with a singalong, too). Following the regular program, Planetarium Supervisor David Maness projected some images of the night sky as seen from Memphis onto the ceiling and pointed out where common constellations are located. He also mentioned that currently (as in, tonight) Venus, Mars, and Saturn will all be visible, though, to the naked eye, they'll just look like extra bright stars. The Sharpe Planetarium has been open inside the Pink Palace Museum since 1979. Currently, there are 16 public and school group shows in the planetarium every week, and usually a few special private shows (the planetarium can be rented for the evening). The planetarium's shows change about every three months, which keeps them seasonally appropriate - the constellations that are in the spring are different from the ones that appear in the fall. The planetarium has shows every week, Tuesday - Saturday. Admission is separate from regular museum admission, but it's a bargain at $4.50 for adults and $4 for kids.

    I'll be honest--I am not what anyone would describe as an "outdoorsy person." My idea of nature is…read moreusually parking close to the entrance. But my wife wanted to visit the Memphis Botanic Garden for her birthday, and somehow this place turned me into a calm, peaceful woodland citizen for a few hours. First off, the weather was absolutely perfect, which already gives nature a huge advantage. Then you walk the grounds and realize this place is legitimately beautiful. Ducks casually living their best lives, koi fish gliding through the water like they pay property taxes there, birds chirping, flowers everywhere, waterfalls and water features--it's like stress gets checked at the front gate with your $12 admission fee. And let's not overlook the fact that there were food trucks... and one of them was selling cocktails. Suddenly being outside didn't seem so unreasonable anymore. What surprised me most was how peaceful the entire experience felt. It genuinely pulls you away from the noise of everyday life and drops you into this quiet little zen mode you didn't know you needed. Also, if you're planning a wedding or outdoor event, this place is loaded with gorgeous spots that look like they came straight out of a magazine. Seriously, every few steps felt like another "this would be an amazing wedding photo" moment. When the weather cooperates, this place is hard to beat as a happy place. Even for people like me who normally consider "the outdoors" a temporary inconvenience.

    The Memphis Botanic Garden is straight-up magic wrapped in flowers…read more From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped into a peaceful, picture-perfect dream. Every path leads to something new--vibrant blooms, hidden corners, and stunning landscapes that make you stop and go "okay wow..." at least 20 times. Whether you're wandering through the themed gardens, snapping aesthetic pics, or just soaking in the calm, it's the ultimate reset button from real life. And let's talk about the vibes--immaculate. It's romantic, relaxing, and somehow inspiring all at once. One minute you're strolling through gorgeous greenery, the next you're planning your entire future garden like you suddenly have landscaping skills Perfect for a chill day, a cute date, or just getting lost in something beautiful, the Memphis Botanic Garden is a must-visit gem. 10/10--nature really showed off here

Tucked in a rundown little town, the experience still felt worthwhile...and let's be honest, the town is definitely capitalizing on the legacy of The Man in Black. But something tells me Johnny wouldn't mind one bit. The visit starts in a modest welcome center with memorabilia and a short film. Then, in classic small-town style, you follow behind the guide in your car about two miles to the actual home. The house is small, simple, and humble, just as you'd imagine a Depression-era homestead to be. It's been lovingly restored and really does feel like a window into Johnny's early life. Afterward, you head back to town to explore another small exhibit focused on homesteading history and a bit more on Johnny himself. It was a perfectly fine way to spend the afternoon, especially if you're a Cash fan or enjoy a dose of Americana. Only disappointment? The t-shirts for sale were kind of blah. Come on, people...give us some merch worthy of an American legend.
