Things To Do
Beale Street
One of the most iconic streets in the United States, you cannot visit the Home of the Blues without taking a stroll!
Graceland
For all the Elvis fans out there, this one would be hard to miss.
Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid
Even if hunting and fishing isn't exactly your style, the store is simply a work of art. Inside, you will find a pond, aquarium, bowling rink, alligators, and more. You will also find the world's tallest freestanding elevator that takes you up to the The Lookout, where you can grab a drink or bite to eat and walk out onto the balconies to find some of Memphis' best views.
Shelby Farms Park
This sanctuary is at the top of our list of favorite places to go in Memphis. One of the largest urban parks in the country, Shelby Farms has it all. Whether you want to canoe, fish, zip line, hike, or just relax; you will not be disappointed. The park also has one of the most impressive playgrounds we have ever seen for your kiddos. You might even be able to catch their winter Starry Nights event!
Memphis Zoo
Welcome to the South, where a zoo day in the wintertime might not necessarily be as absurd as one would think! If weather permits, take a daytime stroll through our beautiful zoo and see the animals or come at night to experience the winter wonderland known as Memphis Zoo Lights!
Charles Vergos Rendezvous
If you have to know one thing about Memphis, you should know that it is famous for its' BBQ, and Rendezvous is most certainly the place to go!
Central BBQ
If you're in the mood for BBQ, but want something a little more casual, look no further. Tom and I indulge here more often than we'd like to admit.
Huey's Poplar
Huey's is a Memphis staple. You cannot go wrong with any item on the menu. However, we do recommend their famous cheese fries appetizer for a solid start!
Casablanca Restaurant
This Mediterranean restaurant has the best cup of tea in Memphis, and the food is simply amazing. We come here so often that we are officially one of their regulars!
