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.

One such place that caters to the interest of both adults and kids is Memphis, Tennessee. It’s a true family vacation spot that ensures that both the adults and the kids get their load of fun and enjoyment. Whether it is the outdoor activities such as hiking and biking that the family is into or park rides, there is plenty of variety that ensures that adults and kids get to enjoy a good holiday.

Taking a ride down the Mississippi River is a memorable and enjoyable experience for both children and the adults. It’s a quite an adventure to people of all ages to trace the Mississippi River up to its origin. All said The Mississippi River provides a cherish-able vacation spot for the family.

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 spoilt 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!
