Boredom Impossible in Memphis

By: Priscilla Rozee

While it is certainly unfortunate, the fact is that many vacation spots are either designed and built for children or for adults—almost never for both. It may be true that such places offer options for both adults and children but both groups are rarely happy with the results. One way or another, the adults either end up spending the majority of their vacation traversing from children's hot spot to the next or the kids become lost in a maze of boring choices and spend the majority of the vacation wandering about looking for anything to relieve their boredom.

However, Memphis, Tennessee, is a welcome change from the rest. It offers a whole lot of activities for children and adults. So, if you are planning a family holiday, you must consider Memphis. You and your kids will find plenty to do by way of hiking and biking. Or you can go for rides that are equally enjoyable for kids and adults. Basically, there are ample outdoor activities for the whole family in Memphis.

Riding on the River Walk along the mighty Mississippi River is an unforgettable experience. It’s a rare pleasure to follow this major river upstream that you and your kids will cherish for the rest of your lives.

Memphis also has a lot on offer for the history buff. The possibilities that a visit to Memphis provides are quite mind boggling. For instance, the Memphis Belle, the bomber now made so infamous by the Hollywood movie of the same name is on display. This is one of the highlights of a visit to this vibrant city.

A visit to Graceland, that mansion made so famous by the King of rock and roll, Elvis Presley is the high point of a visit to Memphis. This mansion has been preserved delicately to reflect all the details of the time when Elvis was alive. Taking part in the candlelight vigil at Graceland every 16th of August marking the death anniversary of Elvis is quite an event that draws millions of pilgrims even today.

The Peabody Hotel is certainly a place that both adults and children should find entertaining when they visit Memphis. A group of famous ducks has made a home on the roof of this famous hotel. These spoil ducks come down in the elevator in style every morning round 10 to feed. Besides the ducks and tourists, even local big wigs find one excuse or the other to visit the hotel every year.

Libertyland Amusement park is a popular spot with children that is also closely located to entertainment spots that cater to the adults of the family. This place is reputed for its vintage 1909 carousel and does provide other popular entertainment such as midway games, rides and such other shows. Weather not permitting a visit to a park, the Children’s Museum of Memphis deserves a visit for entertaining and educational displays that are likely to keep the children highly absorbed.

All in all, Memphis is one of those rare places where there is something exciting to do, regardless of what age group you belong to. Therefore, it’s a good idea to check into the wide assortment of activities offered by this exciting town. Make a list of the places you will visit this year and postpone the others to your next visit. One thing is for sure, you will visit Memphis again!
