Memphis Offers Activities for Kids and Adults

By: Priscilla Rozee

By and large, holiday resorts have one feature in common— they cater to kids or adults, never both. Even if they offer options for both adults and children, usually both groups remain dissatisfied with the results. Either the adults have to amuse themselves with childish activities, or the kids get bored doing adult things.

Memphis, Tennessee, however, is not such a place. In Memphis, there really is plenty to do for both the adults and the children so that both groups will be happy. Whether the family is into rides and parks or prefers to take their fun outdoors for things like hiking, biking and other activities, there is sure to be plenty for everyone to do.

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.

The mighty Graceland is steeped in all the magic and history that surrounds it. This great mansion has been preserved exactly as it was when the King was alive. It was made famous by Elvis Presley and millions of fans go to Graceland every year to take part in the annual candlelight vigil held on August 16th— the anniversary of the King's death.

The Peabody Hotel is certainly a place that both adults and children should find entertaining when they visit Memphis. The famous hotel is home to a group of famous ducks who call the roof of the hotel their home. Every morning round 10 these spoiled ducks actually take an elevator ride down to the grounds so that they can feed. The hotel is not just a hot spot for the ducks and tourists because even local big shots tend to make several visits out to the hotel every year for one reason or another.

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!
