A quiet little speakeasy!…read more If the bricks could speak? Standing here on the edge shooting pool! Who handles these sticks? Cheers to decades of the past? When we were here the fun has not kicked off yet? Maybe we were too late. Come and see what the blues was? The legends that came and have gone. This little speakeasy is upstairs from King Tuts. The art that adorns the walls. We stand here . They serve drinks not food. Cold beer is on tap! A mixed drink. Whatever is here you come for the setting. Paradise found here, just the two of us. Watching from the reflection of neon lights blinking back . The small roars from below. The irony the lights still shine here . Most cannot see but we had a chance to see and look. Play and sit . Together. See what the blues were . It's alive in You and Yours. Just believe !

On top of that, they would not allow members of our group to pay separately.

What I liked is that it did not only focus on that ... but also traced the history of the civil rights movement in America from the time of the chattel slave trade to current day. PROTIP: there is so much information and so much to see... I suggest you give yourself at least 2 hours when visiting. I made the mistake of going 1.5 hrs before i had to b at the airport and was only able to see the 1st building and even then i felt that i had to rush through towards the end of my time there. The exhibits, sculptures, pieces, and installations were well done and keep you engaged the entire time.

But for all the wrong reasons we can see the legacy that Martin Luther King left behind. They have dedicated this place to his legacy. Let's go inside the museum. The legacy of his life is outlined here. The strife of the world. This is living history. The vision that he had and what he has done. The quiet proof and all that happened here. The car the way life was set all those days ago. The museum outlines historic events in a difficult way and time when the world was involved in much change. This is a must see..... when you come to Memphis. The mystery and myth of love and light can be seen here . The value is something you cannot put a price on . Freedom! For all! You will learn something here. This self proclaimed leader will shake you . Bring tissues and at least two hours to see the museum. The parking is on street for best results. Again, living history. The speaker box outside on the side walk outlines the "day of." Love and light are what he left.

The inside was filled with nostalgia; old arcade games ( although in retrospect majority were most street fighter like games). For $10 a person you get unlimited play on the machines .

We didn't have a party there just wandered in on a Sunday date night , and there was only one other couple there so plenty of room to spread out and play .

The King is still here!…read more Elvis Presley Graceland! What a legend to step in here. The original grounds were a family farm! Elvis bought the land and sewed in the seeds of rock n roll. The seeds of Elvis are deep here in Memphis. This was the voice of Sun Records that it sounds that they were looking for. He used that fame to make his legacy stand but to make the community better too. They have over 200,00 square feet of the homestead, airplanes, cars, museum space that you want the VIP access for the ultimate experience and views. Many come from all over to see the King! The lines are sometimes very long and can be difficult. Do the VIP? It's the best! Less wait time? Better luck for you and your group. Make sure and listen you will learn so much about the King that you did not even know. The wall surrounding Graceland has so many personality too. Many individuals leave their mark here for the King still today. Read the words of others who have left their mark for him.

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.

This is one of the best things that we have in Memphis! If you are here to visit, or if you live…read morehere and have never been, I highly recommend this place for a sunny day visit. If you haven't been in a while, get your butt in here and buy a membership. Then come whenever you have a free minute. It's like you aren't in the center of the city when you are here. An oasis, if you will... They have tons of different gardens with blooms that happen all throughout the year. I love the hasta garden and the big springtime daffodil blooms! There is also a very nice rose garden that is full of beautiful blooms all summer long! I love everything about this place! One of the most elegant weddings I have ever attended was held here! There was a freaking shrimp tree! Who has a shrimp tree!! Mary does, that's who!! Between the gardens themselves, the awesome event venues this place houses, and the killer live music stage that's also here. It has it all! They have done a great job over the years growing and making this place relevant and useful for the citizens and visiting folks. They have plant sales, plant exhibits, art exhibit, and so much more here! The Orchid exhibit is one of the coolest plant based wonders I have ever seen. I did not know there were so many varieties of Orchids in the world. Seriously.... Seek it out and go check it out!! All of the staff have been great! From the little old ladies at the desk, to the groundskeepers you run into. All super friendly and seem happy to be there. They even have Mempops here most of the time and I have seen some other small food truck type options here as well. '26 - 15

From the nostalgic One Night in the 90s, to your potions in Magicians code, a Christmas themed, and even a room that has 2 play-outs to it.

My wife got us tickets to see Gary Owen because she knows how much I love seeing him. The show was absolutely great and she picked some very good seats. I did feel like he cut the show just a little short. There's always that one drunk person that wants to yell out from the crowd. I think it was starting to irritating. What can you say about the orpheum? That hasn't already been said. It's a very nice historical place. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars. Is because like everyone else, they take advantage of people on concessions. I realized back in the day. This is the way places made their money. It's a little different these days. They make plenty of money on the shows. My other small complaint is the seating. Although its way better than Minglewood Hall, the seats are just too close together. I'm a big fella, and it's just very uncomfortable. Overall, they put on great shows and the place is very nice. I definitely wouldn't let the small things stop you from going.

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!

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.
