Graceland Plaza and Graceland Crossing Shopping Center — Local services in Memphis

I wish I had enough time to write the full review that I want to write. Obviously this is a hot tourist attraction for the Memphis area… and deservingly so. They’ve done such a great job with everything about Graceland, the grounds, Elvis’ awards, clothing, cars, and planes. There’s just too much to explain and see at Graceland.

Is the attraction pricey? Sure, it’s definitely not cheap. I wouldn’t go visit quarterly or even every 6 months… but every year or two, you betcha. The place has it all. For the Elvis fan, it’s a Mecca of information and displays. But even for the non-fan, it’s a fascinating tribute to an icon and history. Everyone should visit Graceland. Everyone should understand that before Elvis, music and entertainment were totally different. Am I a fan? Yes, definitely. I saw Elvis live in concert multiple times, as a child… because my dad was a fan. I remember the day Elvis died and how it affected my father… as I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to better understand my father’s feelings, as Elvis was not only a music icon for him, but he grew up in the same generation. Elvis was transcending and created a new way to entertain and perform music. We should never lose sight of Elvis’ impact on music and entertainment… and the grounds of Graceland are a perfect place to pay respect or to learn about him. I enjoy visiting Graceland every few years and will...

Went there in 2002 and loved every minute of it. My mum got to have her photo taken and superimposed with Elvis. I bought the 45rpm record‘Trying To Get To You’. Edit: I believe the place has had a big overhaul and I wouldn’t recognise it now. When we were there in 02, there was a museum housing many of Elvis’s favourite things. We saw the pink Cadillac, the golf buggy, many of Elvis’s childhood momento’s. There was a great 60s themed diner and a huge superstore selling every type of Elvis paraphernalia which is where we bought our souvenirs. We stayed in The Heartbreak Hotel just down the road but I believe that has since been demolished and a much bigger hotel put in its place. I actually think that is a real shame as the original hotel had Elvis themed rooms, a heart shaped swimming pool, 24 hour Elvis films on tap, a jungle themed bar which mimicked his jungle room. I’m so so glad we got...

This place was amazing and I loved all the rich history, and tour you get of his house , plane, and all the extras. Food was good , and you will live the iPads they give you to listen to the whole tour live as you walk...
