So we are traveling to Memphis this week for a few days.. We are driving from Chicago so we have our car and it will be a family of 5. The kids really want to a hotel with an indoor pool. That rules out a few of our options. I was thinking of staying in the burbs only to save some money. if we do that where do you suggeset to stay? Is the Galleria a nice area??
I would love to hear some suggestion on waht to do... We plan on going to Graceland and Autozone park.
Any other suggestions. Boy -13, Boy - 10 and girl 7
Memphis Zoo
Memphis Botanical Gardens
Jerry's Sno Cones
Shelby Farms
Peabody
Embassy Suites on Shady Grove has nice pool, if I recall
Autozone Park for baseball
Beale Street (daytime for families)
National Civil Rights Museum
Hit up Beale Street for some good BBQ. We ate at BB Kings place there and it was good and they had live music. DO NOT stay at Heartbreak hotel, that place was a total dump. :( Graceland was cool.
We stayed at the Peabody Hotel and it was fun because they have the ducks that march to the water daily with red carpet and all the works. Really cute, entertaining and something fun to do.
I think they have riverboat cruises if you are into that.
Other than that, I don't know much because we were passing through and not on a vacation. I fly to Memphis a lot and then drive to my destination.
We took our kids there to visit my sister and we all had a lot of fun going to Mud Island. If the weather is warm this is a fun thing to do with kids. They really liked the museum there as well as walking along the whole length of the model mississippi river. We also REALLY enjoyed the Memphis zoo...it was one of the better zoos I have been to. I wanted to take a river boat cruise but we ran out of time...that would be super fun. We had the best BBQ ever from Corky's. It was dry rub BBQ. I'm from TX where they love their BBQ and this was the best I'd ever had. Wow...so good.
