There for a banquet. Very organized layout. Would be great for an outdoor experience. Parking is not a problem. It is a little out of the way for tourists, however locals should visit.

Nature trails and Interpretive center, very well maintained. The lotus-covered lake is beautiful. Plentiful free parking and helpful employees/volunteers.

Lichterman is a gem of a park in the middle of Memphis. Very peaceful, wonderful trails and ponds, tons of birds to see and hear. A great combination of education and fun.

I lived in Memphis when the Lichterman center was built. I has amazing plants and paths through the gardens. The archicture of the building is beautiful and you can easily spend the whole day there.

We were on vacation with our 2 children (10 & 12 yrs old) There is an entrance fee into the nature center, but it all goes to a good cause. We also purchased the fish food. That turned out to be a lot of fun. When you get to the lake, you get bombarded with Canada Geese, Slider Turtles, and... More

There are many attractions in Memphis, and I found out about the Lichterman Nature Center while visiting the new Tennessee Welcome Center in downtown Memphis, which is easy to reach when you take the first exit off of the I-40 Bridge as you are coming in from Arkansas. Although many people would prefer to see Elvis Presley's home, or Beale... More
