Several times . It's great .The only problem is the crowds and the lines . There are many things to see and do in Memphis , besides tour Graceland & the grounds - like visit the original Sun record studio ; Beale Street , or take a ride down the Mississippi .

I've been many times. The best time to go is for the Christmas holiday. During the summer I believe all the drapes are blue, but for Christmas he used to change them to red which they still do. There is a Christmas tree in almost every room. I went about 3 1/2
years ago and I had never seen an extra bedroom on the first floor. They said it belonged to his parents. Everything was decorated in purple, even the Christmas tree. It was his mother's favorite color.
Take your camera, you can take pictures. Don't use your flash though, they have fits.
Get there early. Sometimes you have to wait hours for your actual tour.
You can also tour his airplane, the Lisa Marie. There's a museum with many of his cars. If you're a big Elvis fan, I would definitely do all of it the first time.

Yes, many times, being a tour guide host, plus a big fan of Elvis since seeing his appearance on the La. Hayride in 1956. It is incredible to see where and how he lived, and of course, his final resting place. I originally thought the home was garish in decor, but one must consider the time frame when it was designed, and Elvis background, since coming from humble surroundings, he apparently sought the flamboyant. It indeed reflects "the King" and his taste. I recommend seeing for yourself if you are an Elvis fan.

I was there in 1992. Since then, I've heard that they let you into Elvis's kitchen. They didn't do that when I was there because his Aunt still lived at the house and well, it was her kitchen. :-)
It was a lot of fun to see the rest of his house though.
