I remember being a preteen telling my grandmother that I was going to live at Graceland one day hahahaha! I finally went. I was overwhelmed with excitement and emotion to finally be here. There was SO MUCH to see! Oh my goodness! So much! I loved the Lisa Presley exhibit as well, I have adored her my entire life. I loved Graceland so much that I have already booked another trip for September by myself this time so I can take more pictures and make a book for myself. My favorite part was the backyard. It was so peaceful. I also gave Elvis Enterprises and Lowell Hays a lot of my money hahahahaha

Visited here when my brother and SIL were in town visiting from NYC and I could see how this would…read morebe an amazing experience for super Elvis fans however I was a bit disappointed that a lot of areas were off limits to visitors which definitely hindered the $300+ cost of it all. I could see how back in the day this house would've been the bees knees, but to me, it wasn't really anything special, and I am a fan of Elvis's music, just not a super fan. Couldn't imagine being one of the people flying out from different countries to come visit here though. TIP FOR OUT OF TOWNERS : this is in a very unsafe area of the city so please watch your surroundings and do not walk the streets around the area alone.

I'm so excited I was finally able to scratch a visit to Sun Studios off of my Memphis to-do list…read more For music history lovers it's one of the most iconic places to make a pilgrimage to stand where some of the greats stood as they recorded hit songs that have remained relevant more than 80 years later. You can't reserve tours online and are available on a first come first serve basis and take place at the half hour mark. I arrived at about 12:15 and despite the 12:30 tour being removed as available for the tour board the employee at the front kindly let me slide into the 12:30 tour group. It's a small building but A LOT of history and memorabilia are packed into the building . The guided tour begins on the second floor where there is a small single room with musuem exhibits and items from the early days of Sun Records. After spending time here you'll be taken back downstairs to spend time in the actual recording studio. In total the tour lasted about 45 minutes and you were able to linger at the end without feeling rushed to take photos with THE microphone and soak in the energy of the space. If you're any kind of music lover you can't miss this building where so much pop culture and music history was made.

Our guide was very funny and knowledgeable (and he's a musician to boot!). We did the tour and the upstairs part has a recreation of the Dewey O DJ booth which is very cool. There is even a "smash" hit record on the floor in the booth! Inside museum cases are some original equipment and posters, etc. of some of the greats signed by Sun Studio. The downstairs recording studio (still in use daily) is timeless with an original microphone and the piano that the greats once played while recording. . We got to pose with the microphone and see lots of real equipment actually used by the likes of Elvis, Sam Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, etc. And of course, some of the original recording equipment used by founder Sam Phillips. The gift shop and small bar up front are a great touch both before and after the tours. Don't miss this legendary place.

The cultural impact on the U.S. and the music recording industry being celebrated by this museum is…read moreextremely important! But there isn't much to the museum itself. With a 90-minute tour recommended, it's a very quick loop that can be made in about 20 minutes, even if you savor the exhibits. The on-stage clothing from various celebrities like Al Green, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash is all very interesting! The impact of black musicians is evident, something that should be heralded. Ike Turner's first piano is a pleasant surprise! And perhaps the crown jewel of the exhibit comes at the very end, the Ardent Studios soundboard that mixed albums for every group ranging from Led Zeppelin to Juvenile, old school rock to modern hip hop. But the tour is far too short to warrant the $16 entry fee.

Loved it. Interesting museum to check out if you're into rock and roll and the blues. This is an…read moreamazing place to visit. It is right next to the FedEx building, just off Beale Street, so very central. Excellent collection of old memorabilia from musical instruments, clothes,posters and the most amazing jukeboxes.

We went at 11:45 and Christy was our tour guide for the ultimate vip tour. I highly recommend her, she gave us so many stories and took her time explaining everything.

He was raised in the Lauderdale Courts public housing projects and was inspired by blues clubs on Beale St. In 1957, at 22 yrs. Elvis was discovered at Sun Studios. He spent $100,000 on this colonial style mansion named Graceland by previous owners. We paid $10 to park & $168 to visit Graceland. We started with a film about Elvis & the mansion. We took a shuttle to tour his house, then visited the displays at the welcome center. I used the tablet & complimentary headphones that brought me through the 1st floor then the basement, into the stables, his racquetball court and a meditation Garden, which is the family's gravesite. We spent an hour across the street from the visitor center on this property. The kitchen, jungle room, racquetball center, swimming pool, horse stables, recording room, pool room were pretty impressive. There is a huge gift shop, 5's style diner, smokehouse, ballroom & chapel. His airplanes were parked out front.

The Google description is not something that would have made me rush over. I figured I'd be bored to death, but with only a dozen or so cars, it certainly couldn't take long. We went on Christmas Eve, so the place was pretty empty. Bob asked if we would like a tour, and boy, did he change my mind about how interesting the place could be! He is so fascinating, and knows virtually everything about the cars, especially since he restored a great many of them himself. The museum has mostly vintage American sports cars, heavy on the vettes and mustangs, with a healthy serving of 70's- ish muscle cars. It's a very interesting and enjoyable time, particularly if you can get Bob to show you around
