What travelers are saying
- FrallyChicago, Illinois89 contributionsWe enjoyed this tour and the very energetic tour guide! It was fascinating to hear the stories and see the paraphernalia and photographs. I gave it 4 instead of 5 because the tour guide glorified Ike Turner. He should be there and should be mentioned but he was very abusive to women so I had a hard time listening to how great he was! Aside from that, great tour.Written January 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Synetta PMiami, FL28 contributionsI want to take a road trip to Tennessee for christmas and I made it just in time to Visit the Lorraine Hotel, my god the tour was amazing, and to see that they capture the killer in the museum across the street was epic.

- David A6 contributionsAleady did the research on Graceland- knew what I paid to see. I was thrilled by it all- chose a Vip tour at 10-30 the following day after Lisa Marie was laid to rest..

Really helpful and friendly staff who are obviously passionate about the museum and music (which makes a refreshing change).
Lots of parking!Written January 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

That is the way if prefer it: in the wild. Nevertheless, I viewed animals at the Memphis Zoo that I will likely never see in wild, like the giant panda (who appeared to be enjoying himself dismantling and devouring bamboo stems). My favorite part of the Zoo, however, was talking to the keepers and catching a bit of their passion for the animals. Two of these opportunities were in scheduled keeper talks, but a third was totally unscripted and unexpected. We were in the aquarium talking about a fish that we have seen in the South Pacific. The keeper overheard us and volunteered information on why that particular fish was in the aquarium instead of another species. He went on to talk about the other fish in the aquarium and how they interact with each other. Then he showed us a fish that we have looked for in the South Pacific but have never seen there. He proved to us that no matter how widely traveled we may be, there are new things to see at the zoo.Written January 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jenandallthethingsLos Angeles92 contributionsI'd been told by many that Memphis isnt the safest town and to definitely not be on Beale street after 10pm.
I was on a solo touristing trip, so i took a stroll down Beale during the day and stopped in for a drink and snack in BB Kings.
The street and venues were relatively quiet during the day, but it was a nice 2-3 block walk to window "shop." Kind of the opposite of Broadway st. in Nashville that's hopping, crowded and loud all times day and night.
It's an iconic stop in Memphis so definitely give it a stroll.Written January 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They did an excellent job. You can tune your radio in to the holiday music as you drive through.
They were even smart and about 1/2 way through had a "selfie" stop where you could pull over and park and take selfies with a few of the displays. They sold hot chocolate there too.
Line was a bit long to get in, so give yourself time to get through it.
Looking for a fun holiday activity, this was a good time.Written January 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our Guide was so helpful giving us a first hand experience of what slaves endured.

- T BMcMinnville, OR77 contributionsThis museum houses an incredible amount of carved jade and should be called the "Jade Museum". Affordable, only $5.00 for seniors. Also houses art by current artists from Israel and an outstanding collection of memories of Holocaust survivors living in the Memphis area.Written September 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- janjan3839Prior Lake, MN34 contributionsThis is a great ball park and we had a wonderful time while visiting Memphis. Thursday night offered us $2 beers and $1 hotdogs. The seats purchased were great and cost $10 so it made this a very affordable evening. The stadium is cash free so bring your card and enjoy the game. They team and staff will keep you entertained.Written September 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jenandallthethingsLos Angeles92 contributionsI went during the holidays when they had their "Holiday Wonders at the Garden" lights display. 2022 they did an Alice in Wonderland theme.
They did a nice job with the displays. There were some interactive exhibits for the kiddos that was fun as well.

And found that they had a special tour event that weekend....their annual Soul of the City tour, and this year it featured Memphis Music! Since it was our first visit to this cemetery, we chose to attend the 5:30 tour so that it was still light out. Run by the cemetery volunteers group, this tour tells the story of selected cemetery residents (based on the theme) told by volunteers taking on the persona of another cemetery resident. The stories were interesting and compelling, and the historical reenactors terrific in their presentations. $20 per person. The tour lasted about an hour. A great way to learn a little Memphis Music history! We will definitely visit the cemetery should we have another opportunity to visit Memphis!Written January 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
