As a fan of Elvis, this was truly one of the most surreal experiences of my life. The experience is something worthy of taking your time and digesting every moment of the house. It's incredible to see the artistic detail of the house and everything that is inside it to keep it authentic to what it was. Lisa Marie's grave is such a sad thing to see in person. This family has some highs and lows, but sitting their and soaking it up was sad. Overall, it is pricey but worth it if you are a fan. read more

This museum is pretty extensive You could either do it all in 2 hours rushing at top speed, or spend a good 4-5 hours taking in all the detailed displays and trivia about the King! My favorite was the museum of his costumes, what a wonderful blast from the past. I don't know if I would return soon, but I would recommend it to everyone I know read more

Even if you are too young to have been alive when Elvis was, a visit to Graceland is a must when you are in Memphis. We really enjoyed our visit here. How often can you go inside a famous persons house and see it as it was when he lived there? It is really like a little time capsule. Entrance is across from the actual house. You can purchase tickets here but I recommend getting them in advance as they are timed tickets and go fast so if you want to go at a certain time, get them the day before or earlier. We did the self guided tour which is great. They give you an i pad and headphones to listen to. The descriptions are short so you don't feel like you are totally attached to it. In this area there is also a lot to see including Elvis' cars, boats, planes, motorcycles, etc. There is also a couple of restaurants and multiple gift shops. You can also see his clothes, personal items, gold records etc. There is a whole building for Lisa Marie's personal items. You watch a short video before you get in line to board the bus to go across the street to Graceland. The grounds are really pretty. The house itself is not as big as you'd imagine. You cannot go on the 2nd floor where Elvis' bedroom was. You can see the whole first floor and downstairs where there is a game room, etc. There is also a racquetball court on the property that you can check out. The memorial garden is also on the grounds where you can see the graves of Elvis and his family, including Lisa Marie and her son. We spent about two and a half hours here including eating lunch which was more than enough time for me. I can't imagine doing the VIP tour which is 4 hours. But you do you. read more

Definitely worth seeing! Loved learning about all the history behind the furniture he chose for the house. I had no idea he had so many costumes and to see all of those within the tour was fantastic! I was 14 when he passed away and I remember seeing some of the ones he wore. Loved seeing the room with all of his award-winning records. Amazing! read more

Amazing experience, so much to see here. Three different levels of tours you can choose from, the mansion itself is across the street and they offer a comprehensive walk through with iPad and headphone guides, once back across the street however there are airport hangars worth of memorabilia and display pieces to see, this could easily take several days to devour if you are an Elvis fanatic. They did a great job in opening this to the public, sooo much to see and do read more

Date of visit: August 10, 2023 I visited Graceland several years ago when in Memphis but returned as this was a bucket list item for my mom and the perfect thing to do when celebrating her 65th birthday. The place has really expanded since my last visit, there was a large exhibit on Lisa Marie and the recent "Elvis" movie that were not there when I last visited, and the film area was very well done. The Lisa Marie area seemed mostly empty and hastily assembled, not my favorite area. What hadn't changed since the last visit was the clever use of iPads and Bluetooth technology to give you more background into the home and its inhabitants. We spent five hours visiting the attraction--which is good given that this is not a cheap way to spend a day--and while I would not call myself an Elvis fan, I do have an appreciation for his work ethic and commitment to his craft. There are several places that make for great photo opportunities and only one time where you have to pose for the obligatory family photo. I do wish that they didn't print all of these out as you know that they will just throw away the unpurchased ones and that guilt helps fuel your purchase. I also came away fairly disappointed in the staff at the museum. There is no one to provide additional information or context, only folks to scan your tickets and ensure you aren't touching things you are not supposed to be touching. The VIP experience does get you a tour guide; you shouldn't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a decent experience. read more

I love Elvis, and this is a must see for anyone who does, but at a certain point you start to feel like it's enough. Although some history bleeds through, this is less of a learning experience and more of a shrine. read more

It's worth the visit, either you are a fan or not! We came here as the mansion is on my oldest sister bucket list. I love that she enjoyed the entire visit. We thought just seeing his mansion and his grave are enough. There is more to it -unexpectedly. The across the street exhibit hall/s are an adds on guest's excitement. Seeing his cars collection, boat, golf cart displays , his amazing record label awards, the room with hundreds of his jumpsuits, the memorabilia and facts of his acting, singing, civil servant, football , army career are unparalleled. The entire ground is full of surprises about him and his life and his influence to all. I was educated of his history and understood why he was placed to pedestal by everyone. The visit was such a delight. On day of our visit, the restaurant named after his Mom was closed, unfortunate that we were not able to try his favorite peanut butter/ banana sandwich. The restaurant named after his dad offers food Memphis is known for - make sure to try their pulled pork and their famous bbq sauce if visited. Visiting his jets was a great way to end our day. read more

Hubby and I enjoyed the Graceland museum complex. The shuttle from the Guest House brought us to the museum complex. We were able to check-in easy and was directed to an area for our VIP tour. Another shuttle brought us to and from the Mansion. The museum complex housed Elvis' car collection (the size of the cars), an exhibit of Elvis' army days, the Elvis movie and Elvis' two planes. Elvis' clothing collection was simply beautiful. We loved browsing through the receipts and paperwork, and were taken away by the collection of Elvis' music awards. The sweet surprise was the exhibit dedicated to Lisa Marie. There were plenty of dining options and gift shops. read more

If you're an Elvis fan, it's a must. If you're a so-so fan, it's also a must. If you could care less about Elvis, it's still a must. There's something for everyone. The folks at Graceland have covered all the bases. If you're a true diehard Presley fan, you'll be in heaven. You'll be able to drool, cry, and sigh to your hearts content. When I visited with my daughter, we witnessed all three. Although I didn't expect it to be coming from one of our tours male patrons. To each his own, I guess. I wasn't as stirred as much as I was fascinated with the pristine time capsule found behind the mansions entry. Upon entering, I found myself stepping back into my childhood. Granted, my childhood home didn't come equipped with multiple televisions, jungle rooms, and stained glass, but we did have green shag carpet! It was a time that I thought I had lost, but thanks to the good folks at Graceland, the memory of curling my toes in the strands of my parents shag came flowing back to me. I was floored... pun intended. The vibe is real. If you love muSEUMS, then you'll find yourself in the epicenter of all that was Elvis. To the extent of a different SEUM...nauseum. There's so much to see that you may get overwhelmed. But don't let that steer you away from the experience. Take it all in. You'll soon be able to answer every question that your friends throw at you. The one I am most frequently asked, "Did you see all the graves?" Yes, they're on display, along with some of the debauchery that put Elvis where he lies. If you feel your temperature rising, just pop into one of the many museum buildings on the periphery of the main entrance. There, you'll find cool air and maybe a receipt from a hamburger that Elvis bought in Biloxi, Mississippi, back in 1965. You won't believe the extent of seemingly unrelated stuff that's on display. But everything holds relevance at Graceland. Elvis may have touched it, so it becomes a piece of the holy grail. Quick Tip: If you bought your tickets online, make sure you go through the ticket line to get a souvenir ticket. I have to admit it's pretty cool looking. It almost brought a tear to my eye, that is, until some of my drool defaced it before I could put it into a plastic sleeve. read more

Very expensive and "touristy." Had timed tickets, but waited a long time (on a weekday in March). Too many gift shops. Oddly organized and many separate "museums." Staff was really nice, but spent a lot of time speaking loudly into their walkie talkies, which we heard all throughout the grounds. Couldn't see/experience much of the estate. I guess I'm glad we went because it was cool to see his jumpsuits and cars, but I wouldn't go again. (And I wouldn't spend money on seeing the planes - they were cool, but didn't justify the price.) It feels second-rate and I've been to other very popular historic estates that were better kept and provided a more authentic and enjoyable experience. read more

I was honored to finally fulfill one of my bucket list's places to visit and I could not be happier. On a road trip to Nashville, TN I knew this was a great opportunity to stop by Graceland! Growing up in a household where Elvis was one of the few English speaking singers, I have always embraced the little expose of his melodies thanks to my dad which Spanish is his first language but Elvis managed to speak to everyone no matter who or where. Originally, I did not know what to expect at all other than maybe walk in a museum and enter his home, planes, and so much more. I can't even think about what was my favorite part because I loved them all, perhaps his Vegas and concert attire was my favorite. The cafe was lovely, prices a little higher but still reasonable for the type of place, same goes to the souvenirs which we walked away with a few and I am so glad I did because now I can share my experience with friends and family. Overall it is a little higher priced but keeping in mind that this is a whole day event which made it worth it. I definitely recommend any Elvis lovers to stop by, it was such a great place to visit. read more

Bucket list item . I love Elvis. Graceland is just one of those places you believe you will eventually go to. I took the four hour drive up from New Orleans to visit. It's a testament to how much I wanted to go that I walked the property in 100 degree Memphis heat. The planes and car showroom are part of the practice. Shoutout to the shuttle driver that picked me up from the planes and drove me to the entrance because they make you walk it but I was done by the time I got down from the house. I cooled off shopping in the gift shop and stopped off for ice cream at Mae's on the way out. This is a fun tour and it's part of American history. read more

This place is so cool, and so fun to explore! Try to get tickets in advance though if you want any sort of discounts like a military, you have to go in person. Make sure you don't have anything else going on during the day so you can spend the whole day there. Go through all of the museums, go to the Graceland mansion. What an experience! I would definitely take a trip to Memphis, just to see this place! The house is really cool to see, to me it was like a throwback to a different decade! One of the rooms has no windows, but it's all covered with curtains, the kitchen is really awesome, and also the club room and the staircase with all of the mirrors is super fun! Don't forget to check out the airplanes as well, and the rest of the museums, where all of the shops are. It's pretty cool to see the collection of cars and costumes they have accumulated! You will have a good time! read more

Rating 4.5 just because everything was not open. We drove from Nashville (3hours) to do this tour the day after President's Day. It was quiet and quite empty and none of the restaurants were open and either were a couple of the gift shops. We did the Graceland tour that included Elvis's home, the museum of his cars, clothes and planes which was about $95USD. Free audio headphones were available for the tour of the home. They took us by bus to the home and it was interesting to see the memorials in the meditation garden. The car collection was extensive and there were motorcycles and boats too. Elvis's army clothes and karate clothes each had a section but I loved the room with costumes from other artists that were inspired by Elvis. There were some interactive elements too that we just didn't have time to explore. We were able to go on 2 of Elvis's planes too. The gift shops had some cute stuff. The tour takes a good 3 hours to see everything (on a non busy day) so give yourself plenty of time. read more

I always wanted to visit Graceland, and decided to take it off my bucket list. So many feelings... Stars didn't live like they do in this day and age, so the biggest surprise is it's not that big...or fancy. Going thru the main house, I wondered where all the people hung out? You read about his security team hanging in the kitchen, and I've had larger kitchens than that one. The 1970's decor is hysterical...but it was the height of good taste at the time. Shag carpet on the ceiling? Not many people could afford that (or want that!) The grounds are beautiful. I was surprised to see Lisa Marie's son buried there. So sad. Surprising so many floral tributes...but it was the week after the 45th anniversary of his death. The biggest surprise to me was the building that housed his jumpsuits. I had no idea there would be so many. And every display had it's own giftshop. For $4,000 or so you can buy a replica of one of his jumpsuits. Belts are about $400. Let's not even talk about the replica jewelry...Actually, most of the goods to buy are junky, and I wouldn't bother to carry them home. Just my opinion. We ate at Vernon's, and while food was expensive it wasn't bad. It was the only place open on this day, but usually there are options. Toured the plane...the seatbelts are 14 karat gold. Only the best for Elvis. No wonder he died broke. Was there most of a day, and it was hot and we got tired. But so glad I finally made this happen. I wonder what makes us so curious about Elvis? BTW...from downtown it's a $30 cab ride, $60 round trip. read more

My pictures are kind of old since I haven't been there in awhile. However, I hope more people will visit there. I did the Elvis Experience tour for $82. Experience yes for an adult but you get to see a lot of things. I loved going through the mansion because each room was different and unique, like the decor, furniture, colors, etc. I learned a lot about his life and you will see the people that were influenced by him. That's in one of the rooms with the jumpsuits. Some of the other highlights are the automobiles and his jet. I spent several hours here just taking my time and reading and looking at everything that I can. I didn't encounter any rude employees when I was there, it was the opposite. Employees were kind and they did not rush anyone at all. read more

Of course you need to be an Elvis fan to appreciate all that is Graceland. Super 70's retro. Exactly what i expected! You can choose your tour package. I didn't have a ton of time so i chose a tour of the mansion. The tour was very organized as you were guided through various rooms and the property. You are given a tablet and headphones and it tells you all about the room and its treasures. The grounds has shops, restaurants and of course the car museum! The restaurants were closed. It was right after Lisa Marie's passing so not sure if it was because of that or if it was because it was a Wednesday. All and all I enjoyed it and can now cross this off my bucket list! read more

TAKE THE TABLET, ITS FREE ON YOUR TOUR... !! This was an experience of a lifetime.!! AMAZING! The only thing that was really disappointing was the tour guide/bus drivers... They encouraged you to NOT use the tablets when you're going on the tour at graceland.. BIG MISTAKE. they crowd so many ppl in, you can't get close enough to read anything. If you do the self guided tour, make sure you take the tablet!! read more

Elvis has left this world but his legacy lives on. I have not been to Graceland since the 90's and it's changed significantly for the better. The tour is great with John Stamos narrating the audio tour on this ipad they hand you. Loved the insight to Elvis the man. The Graceland center across the street is the gem of the tour with the plan museum, the auto and vehicle museum. There are so many exhibits on Elvis' life and career that you can easily spend 5 plus hours touring this place. Loved the exhibit on his career and the room full of jumpsuits and the fashion of Elvis. Definitely a must do if you're in Memphis and worth the drive from Nashville. read more

Went to a show on a Thursday night here and got nickel and dimed to death. 10 dollars to park, 39 dollar tickets turned out to be 52.50 with BS fees, 2 for 105 dollars, 2 little bitty shot drinks and 2 waters for 34 dollars. So bring lots of money you will need it here! read more

First time ever visiting Graceland and enjoyed it very much. I was born and raised an Elvis fan. I would watch his movies every Saturday morning at 10 AM. The grounds and everything were kept up very well. It's amazing to see how many costumes and awards he had. Brought it all back. I do want to say that the roads in Memphis around Graceland are the worst we've ever seen. We RV everywhere and the closer we got to Graceland the worse they got. If Elvis were still alive I am sure they wouldn't be as much as he meant to the community. He is probably rolling over in his grave! Memphis, you should be ashamed of yourself! read more

This historic site is a must visit when in Memphis! I'm not a huge Elvis fan but appreciated and enjoyed his contributions to music culture. If you want to see the mansion you'll need a reservation ahead of time, we waited more than an hour for a shuttle which was only a 2 minute drive across the street, not sure if it's always this busy- granted we were here on Labor Day weekend-- just something to be aware of. Tip- We had a 2pm reservation so maybe plan on a early morning or late day reservation to avoid long wait times! The gift shops were everywhere with the usual items for purchase- t shirts, mugs, candy, books, and more! The cafe had closed by the time we made it back from the tour so I can't speak to the food options. read more

So it's obviously very expensive, so it should come as no surprise that the Graceland complex is chock full of gift shops, restaurants, and various other add ins designed to help you part with your money. But if you can get past that, you can have a good time and get a good dose of Elvis. All of the staff members I dealt with were very nice and helpful (my husband wouldn't agree with this btw) and the restrooms and grounds and buses and parking lots are all clean and cared for. I was disappointed that the Elvis Threads store was closed while we were there as I saw a sweatshirt I wanted to get my dad in the window that wasn't being sold anywhere else. We did the mansion tour and viewed the cats and airplanes. We would have liked to have seen the career part of the museum but we're a little tired by that point... and our toddler was in the pretty cooked but still holding it together stage do we bailed. We bought it the VIP tickets so we could skip lines (which was about $40 more, taking into account the free admission for our son). I felt this was worth it as we didn't squander good behavior tone waiting in lines. read more

There is no way in the world I'd pay the prices they charge for admission..... We went for the experience to say that we were there. And to see what we could from accessible areas w/o tickets.

This was quite the cattle call. If you're a huge Elvis fan, I'm sure this is your heaven. For everyone else, well, it's just fine. Elvis' home ("the mansion") is interesting and, as everyone notes, a lot smaller than you probably expect. The decor is pretty outrageous in some rooms. Everyone gets a set of headphones and a tablet and John Stamos' narration for the tour. For a prerecorded tour, it is well done. But man, they pack the visitors into that joint until you feel like you're a slice of bologna in a human sandwich. There ain't no social distancing here, that's for sure. After you tour the home, there are endless, and I mean endless, exhibits to stroll through. You could easily spend 4 or 5 hours here. I like Elvis just fine but, honestly, it was a little too much for me. Make sure you see the planes. You get to peak into the small one but actually walk through the big one which is very cool. There are also many, many cars and boats and other mechanized playthings in Elvis' collection you can check out. I mean, he had a fortune and he bought a lot of toys. There are a number of gift shops here and there throughout the property. Honestly, I thought they would have better stuff. I'm not unhappy I visited Graceland but I could have lived a full life without doing so. Thank you very much. read more

You know...I did not think this was going to be so great before coming here--I was not the biggest Elvis fan--but it was a blast of a day! We had the BEST Time here! Lifetime of memories. Such a cool place. You can see the Mansion and grounds in 2+ hours but if you want to see everything in the museum about Elvis and all the presentations, artifacts and read everything--you need at least 8-10 hours. There is SO MUCH stuff here. If you can, spend a full day and take it all in--it's worth it. And who knows--you may actually meet Elvis here like I did. (See the pic.) It's expensive--but if you can--stay at the Graceland Hotel which is next to the mansion and directly across the street from the Museum. We walked it back to the hotel it was so close. They give you a digital pad and headphones for the tour that tells you about the Mansion Grounds and all the rooms. It's just incredible to be on the site where history was made--you can feel it! And don't tell anyone--I went to the bathroom in Elvis' house. It was open and nature called... It was a public bathroom--but it was cool that it was part of the house. Not sure what room that used to be? Next time in Memphis--don't miss it! PS It's just 3 miles and a 10 minute drive to the Memphis International Airport. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Graceland yesterday as part of our early one year anniversary date. This was our first time to Memphis and to Graceland. I have been a big fan of Elvis since I was a kid and now I finally got a chance. My girlfriend and I got the ultimate VIP tickets and it was worth the $395. It was worth it from the beginning when our tour started at 9:15am and the tour guide (Kristen) was absolutely amazing and you can tell she enjoyed doing what she did. She showed us a lot of things that weren't available for anyone else and it was cool to see that. After the tour was over, we went to Vernon's Smokehouse for some free food (meal vouchers for ultimate VIP) and we got some really good barbecue and dessert. We both got the meat sampler; which consisted of: chicken, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Once we got done eating, we went to visit the different Elvis exhibits that showed his life in the army, relationship with Colonel Parker, car collections, etc. Overall, I give this trip a 10/10 and will forever cherish this memory forever. read more

Bucket list check!!! Of Course I had to go to Graceland and I drove there myself ! Such a fun road trip! It's a little bit smaller than I expected. I can see the future of Graceland being an amusement park. I had a wonderful tour with an iPad And headphones . Narrated by ...none other than your favorite uncle Jesse from full house! Did you know that uncle Jesse Character was named Jesse Because that was Elvis's brothers name . That's a little fun fact. It was like jumping back into the 70s. So awesome to be a part of history and literally be able to go inside it ! You think the whole time I would be inside Elvis's house Singing Elvis songs . Well, you'd be wrong. The whole time I'm walking inside Elvis's house. I walking around singing that song from Marc Cohn . I'm walking in Memphis I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale Walking in Memphis But do I really feel the way I feel? Saw the ghost of Elvis On Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through Now security they did not see him They just hovered around his tomb But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for The King Down in the Jungle Room! I'll just let you know that I talked to security and they were so nice . As a fact, everybody was here !

Fascinating tour. My only complaint is that they jam too many folks in which diminishes the experience. I did notice that the tours after 11:00 AM didn't seem as crowded.

For us, we felt it was severely overpriced. $220 for a family of 3 and we had a bit of discount on it too. It's not worth charging an extra $40 pp to add the house tour and you don't even get to see the whole house. When we asked staff why upstairs is closed, they just replied 'cos it is', like excuse me?? They have an interactive museum but nothing inside it worked. The jet was the best part. Maybe if you're a huggggeee Elvis fan you might find it worth it. read more
