Going to Memphis - apart from obviously GRACELAND baby, what else should I do?

Answer 1

Everyone else had great ideas, all of them are must see's. Here are a few more I thought of:
Tunica casinos - 45 minute drive.
Shelby Farms- 40 minute drive (horseback riding, fishing, paddleboats)
Putt-Putt Family Park - mini-golf, race cars, bumper boats, lasertron,driving range, batiing cages,
Jillians- bowling, pool hall, restaurant, arcade,bar
Drive-in Movies - Summer Ave.
Putting Edge - Peabody Mall, glow-in-the-dark golf.
Ride The Ducks- a fun tour of Memphis.
Memphis Botanic Gardens- if you're into flowers.
Rock n'Soul Museum - learn about rock n roll.
Memphis Redbirds/FedEx Forunm - if you enjoy baseball.
Memphis Grizzlies/ FedEx Forum - if you enjoy basketball.
Gibson Guitar Factory - interesting, especially if you love music.
National Civil Rights Museum - see where MLK Jr. was assassinated, breathtaking.
Children's Museum of Memphis - a must see if you have kids.
Carriage Tours - located on Beale St.
Trolleys - I like the Riverfront loop - beautiful at night. And let me be the 10th person to recommend Beale St! You HAVE TO go there. Welcome to Tn.!

Answer 2

I'm no expert but off the top of my head: you could go see the ducks in the fountain at the Peabody Hotel, gvo to the Stax Museum of American Soul Music--Stax was the label of Otis Redding and many more, eat BBQ, catch musicon Beale Street, visit the National Civil Rights Museum at the old Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King was murdered, visit Sun Studio, where B. B. King, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and others first recorded, the the Memphis Belle b52 on Mud Island.

Answer 3

Beale St.---Home of the Blues!
See ducks at the Peabody Hotel.
Mud Island.
Eat catfish.
Cross Mississippi and play dog races in W. Memphis.

Answer 4

Well you can go to Beale St downtown, go to Suns Studio, The Orpheum, Take a ride on the Queen (river boat rides), you definitally have to eat some bbq and ribs...either go to Corkey's BBQ or the Rendevue. If you want the worlds best chicken then eat at Gus's Fried Chicken, hamburgers eat at Hueys or Dyers.....mmmmm what else there is plenty to do here, oh ya you can go and check out where Dr. MLK was shot. I forget the name of the hotel but he was shot here. You can cross the bridge and go bet on the dog races at the dog tracks. However you will find the majority of your entertainment downtown on Beale St. If you are into the clubs then I would suggest Senses on Poplar Ave or Alfreds, Club 152, or Silkies all on Beale
