We went to see the model of the Missippi River described in the tour books. It was quite a disappointment. It takes awhile to figure out what the display is all about and to match the information plaques with the display. Even then, it becomes a bit of a "ho-hum". Clearly a major feat to produce this display, but it... more

Went to Mud Island in Memphis, TN, while visiting the area. We boarded the tram to cross the Mississippi River and the electricity went out so couldn't ride the tram or visit the museum so got our money back and walked across the bridge and walked along the carved out Mississippi River scenerio in the cement with our family on... more

There was a $5 parking fee and a full price to ride the monorail and view the River replica and museum of $8. The museum was so-so, but would recommend for kids & teens for educational purposes. I would skip it and just pay for the monorail. The sign leads you to believe you need to purchase a full pass... more

I have gone here several times with my school and family, and it has been very interesting. The museum had a lot of artifacts, stories, and items showing the history of the Mississippi and how life in these parts used to be like. The mini river shows you all the branches and rivers that join the mighty river. This is... more

The museum was pretty interesting but like the park outside the best with model of the Mississippi River. Lots of fun to walk from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. The monorail to the island was neat too. more

We enjoyed the entire Mud Island complex. The monorail was unique. The museum interesting and extensive. The river walk was very enjoyable. The grounds and 'river' water were all clean and well maintained. The setting along the river, the flowers and the city background make for a very pleasant experience. more

While I'm sure this was a very neat place when new, the park is showing its age - cracked concrete, poor maintenance, not cleaned recently etc. The park itself is Free - very cool You will need to pony up for the monorail if you don't want to walk over. The walk should be very easy for most - just... more
