GraceLand : Elvis' House - Memphis - Things To Do Reviews

I enjoyed it very much. I have been an Elvis fan since I was a little girl though, so it was very interesting to visit his home. Seeing where he played right before he died and then the memorial site was very moving. Its a beautiful home and worth seeing if you are an Elvis fan. They also have other tours you can go on, like all his cars, airplanes, some extra personal items from his wedding and Lisa Maries birth. But they all cost extra. I didnt really enjoy anything other than the house. You can bring your camera, however you can not use your flash, so unless you Know how to set the adjustments on your camera most the pictures inside will turn out to dark. You will park across the street, but your tickits, they offer discounts to students and senior citizens, then you wait in line to ride a bus to the house. YOu are given a aduio tour set, so you dont have to stay with the same group during your tour and can take your time going from room to room.

If your travelling to Memphis, TN, I could highly recommend going to visit GraceLand.  It is more for people who are Elvis fans, but if your interested in different decorating styles; Elvis' house is a nice place to look.  Shag rugs, fully mirrored walls, and very different styles from room to room.  You can also take a tour of both of Elvis' planes, we did not do this, but it seemed very interesting.

Although it is a wonderful place to visit, it also has a very touristy atmosphere, with lots of Elvis memorabillia being sold for high prices.

Of couse, while we were there, performers were on a stage singing their renditions of their favorite Elvis songs (which was free to watch or just listen to).
