Reviews of Graceland (Museum)

Carl Cornthwaite

Amazing place

Paul Onderwater

I was sceptical of the huge amount of hype about Graceland. I came away thoroughly happy with the experience! It is a very commercial experience on the street across from Graceland Mansion, but I found the time I spent in the mansion very enjoyable and touching. I learned some interesting things about the Elvis story I hadn't known before, and would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to enjoy a low key reveal of Elvis's life.

I liked because it is very well don't and doesn't have any broken down thing. But the only thing I dislike is that it doesn't have a lot of people to serve food.... Other then that I'd highly recommend it!!

My mother always loved Elvis. I was finally able to bring her to Graceland. She had a wonderful time. Dream come true as she described it. I had a fun time too,!

Glenda Parker

Awesome experience with Elvis's life and the history how everything started his career and family. If your planning to go there. make sure your camera or cell battery's is full chargef- so you can take lots pics!

Mirian Adorno

I really enjoyed my time at Graceland. I learned so much about Elvis. He had a huge heart for music and people. Love the cars, motorcycles and the plane exhibits.

Graceland has disappointed my family and myself. The cold staff, overpriced tickets, and charges for EVERY little thing are just frustrating. We all are fans of The King, and once we arrived at Graceland’s ticket center, we were surprised by the artificial feeling of everything. We were charged for parking (10 dollars) then walked to the ticket desk. There were NO discounts for veterans, ironic considering Elvis was one. The prices were very expensive, but we were still willing to pay for the experience at Graceland. However, once we looked carefully at the pricing, there was fine print, stating that there was a charge for purchasing at the desk. It was a bit confusing, but we were still willing to pay. Then, once we asked about walking on the property and seeing Graceland, we were told we would have to wait a few hours before the next tour, and we could have gone onto the property by ourselves earlier in the morning, but now we couldn’t. However, on the website, it said Graceland didn’t open until 9, so it was just a bit chaotic trying to understand everything going on. In the end, we didn’t see Graceland, and it was a frustrating experience due to the "cash cow" that Elvis’s home has now become, which I find disrespectful and shameful. If you’ve ever been to Branson, Missouri, exact same vibe. It’s a tourist trap.

Experience Elvis' interesting taste in decor. It is a lot of fun to walk through and a must for and Elvis fan. You can check out the house along with the cars and even his air plane.

the one and only Brayden Siebsen

Get here when it opens and there is no need to upgrade to the VIP level. Plan for the entire day as there is a ton of things to see. I'm not an Elvis fan but truly enjoyed my time here. Highly recommend.

Mohammad-Amir Aghaee

Graceland. The resting place of the king was a fantastic place. Good tips to remember: 10 bucks for parking. The self guided tour is neat. Just be patient at the beginning of the tour and at the end. 46 bucks a pop at the minimum. Well worth the intimate look at a legend's life

Ginger Cathey

Too pricey now with fewer of his collections at the home. Have to pay xtra to see albums and outfits, etc over at the new visitor center. Tablets & headsets are now given to assist in the tour instead of docents which slows traffic down . However, Vernon Restaurant is good and The Guesthouse is fancy. Be prepared to walk a long ways.

Natasha Staats

Really enjoyed walking through Graceland. You're allowed to go around at your own pace and you are given a tablet and headset that guides you around and gives you information about every area you walk through. Great set up

SA Kleiner

More than I expected. Well done. Greats insights to all things Elvis

dsp206 shotgun

Graceland was everything I expected and more! Furnishings were so reminiscent of the 70's! Also the tour guides were all very kind.

Constance Dean

I am not even an overly huge Elvis fan like most that come to this location and I have to say it was pretty incredible to see.

Warren Michelson, MLA

Plan to spend a day. You will wonder how one man could change the world of music in the fashion he did. The mansion, musical instruments, clothes, cars, motorcycles, gold records, videos and stories. I was shocked at the attitude of some of the workers as there was no pleasantries, just a 'pay and get through' attitude. Especially noted at the entrance gate; all we got was 'parking ten dollars". They could use a few tips from the Disney corporation who welcome people as "guests" and treats the. As such.

Janet Eckerson

Didn't go see Graceland, just went to the Graceland Memphis museum there. It was awesome to see lot of Elvis things , outfits, and cars motorcycle s, boats. Enjoy this. Have to pay for parking 10.00 and all kinds of gifts shop.

Bonnie Larson

Finally made it to Memphis and we decided we needed to go to Graceland. Although my husband and I have never been huge Elvis fans, we both enjoyed the whole experience of the mansion and the museum. However, we did think it was a little expensive considering it was a "self guided " tour with headphones and Ipad provided.

Danielle Presley

My favorite home to visit. Cozy yet elegant. So much to see. I would visit here everyday if I could. A bit pricey though.

Emalee Rains

Very wonderful and beautiful exhibit of The King's home, lots to see and do in and around the home. The history is rich and the display is quite the same. Fell in love with the unique rooms and all the toys that Elvis owned. The car collection is fantastic.

Mornin Acorn

Omg. Not what I expected. It's not only Graceland but this gigantic museum. Graceland was great. There's no way to take a picture of the gate and the postcards of it were disappointing. The employees weren't nice and really didn't seem to care about what this place means to so many people.

Don Burcham

Great place to visit even if you are not a big Elvis fan. Very interesting.

bm17fly

Overall I loved the tour. Got there early on a Monday to avoid lines/crowds. Did the mansion with car museum, well worth it. Next time will have to check out the airplane. Lots of shops to get anything and everything Elvis related plus two places to eat. $10 to park. No weapons sign is posted but it's not an official TN sign. No metal detectors. Security guard will search bags/purses if you have one. Safe place but surrounding area is not the best area.

Michael Quinn

It was nice to know the impact our hero had and it was nice to see his way of life with him being a teen idol

shirley crenshaw

Amazing, we went at night but it was still BEAUTIFUL, I Can't wait to return to take daytime tour

Paulo Rossi

Just amazing to be there! Really feels like somehow Elvis is there. It would be a A+ attraction if it wasn't for the staff: 90% are EXTREMELY rude. They make you feel you are doing something wrong 100% of the time.

Gary Sexton

My wife had a great time she was and still is a big Elvis fan. Very nice weekend get away

Steven Marise

Graceland has grown to be much more than just a visit to the home of Elvis. Graceland has completed major renovations and their facilities are huge! Very interesting archives collections and showcases for people of all ages. There are many neat little diners on what I came to call “The Elvis Strip”. Many locations to purchase souvenirs were also available with a range of merchandise. Overall my wife and I were impressed by the size and newness of it all. Very much a Disneyland of Elvis!

Mary Sundra

Museums had great memorabilia. Lighting could be a bit better to read placards. The archives didn't have any written information to understand the article's significance.

Steven Nichols

Really enjoyed the venue. Sound was great and the seats, though moveable were comfortable.

sean bruno

Always wanted to go here, was a little shocked at how expensive it is to get in but I'd say it's worth it if you're an Elvis fan. Wish you got to see upstairs at Graceland but I can respect why you don't get to. Cool to see inside the life of an icon.

Denny Desveaux

Video headset didn't work properly. Even changed it out twice. Too many people trying to go through the mansion at the sametime. Not well organized, people need to lead people around on the tours using a better communication system :)

Ryan McCann

There is so much more to do than tour the house. The museum exhibits are excellent and include a lot of musical history. It is an inspirational and historically relevant experience.

Nicolaas Staalberg

Worth the visit as Graceland is as when Elvis lived there. Refreshing and not too touristy. Now, across the street is all the collections and souvenirs you can imagine, but still tastefully done.

Tammy Byrd

It was great to see again. I was there at 14 years old and am 50 now. We took my mama for her 75th birthday. She had a ball. Loved every minute of it.

Jack H

Graceland has become quite a tourist trap. The basic tour ($46) only includes the mansion and grounds of Graceland. If you want to see the collection of costumes Elvis wore in movies or concerts, it's another $15. Want to see some of his recording studio, gold records, etc? Yep, it costs even more. Ih, and all of this after you pay $10 for parking. The multimedia tour guide on an iPad has a lot of information and lets you go through at your own pace. Some of the staff were nice and you could tell they cared about preserving the legacy of Graceland, but a lot of them, mostly in the touristy part across the street, were short, gruff, and acted like they were being bothered if someone asked them a question. We were in the gift shop for nearly 20 minutes and nobody asked if we needed help finding anything. This was my first time at Graceland but my wife was there about 25 years ago and she was very disappointed with the way it's changed.

Geri Arrington

We have been to Graceland 3 times. Has really changed and well displayed. Enjoyed each time.

Mark Anderson

Always enjoyed Elvis tho not a die hard fan per se. But... this was fabulous and amazing to see! So much about his life and his family it was overwhelming. Beautiful to see in person! My wife, who is a big fan, was in a cloud the whole time!

Martin van den Herik

Finally seeing Graceland, Elvis lived there he died in 77, the year we were married and now 42 years later we took the VIP tour to the house of the greatest VIP there was. We have seen everything except the private quarters, bedrooms and so on, but great..is say GREAT

Mike DeWitt

I love Graceland my only problem with the place is that it's slightly over Christ they charge for way too many things; a lot of which could be free or more reasonably priced. Other than that I think it's a must-see for every true Elvis fan.

Bec Jane

Amazing staff! Fabulous collection of Elvis memorabilia, beautifully set up, very well organised & great-trained staff. We had a fantastic day here! Food was delicious and not as expensive as you'd expect. Lost one star because we all expected to hear more Elvis music throughout Graceland.

Craig Bull

Brilliant. The whole thing was fantastically organised from start to finish. Must go and see the planes. Amazing. The cars were great. The mansion is just fantastic. The decor is brilliant and the whole guided tour is so well organised.

Carl Cornthwaite

Amazing place

Barbara Silvas

It was amazing. We did the Ultimate VIP tour...worth every penny! Our tour guide Tony was really knowledgeable and entertaining. We were there a total of 8 hours and honestly didn't see everything. Go early...eat breakfast before you go. When they say 3 hour tour...they mean it.

Richard Alkemade

I was very fortunate to have the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Graceland, Elvis left a truly amazing music and film legacy for the world. It was nice to see his home where he lived the American dream... I think he invented the American dream. Truly the greatest musician and entertainer of all time. The collection of gold albums will certainly attest to that. He also knew how to enjoy his wealth, what with all the cars, boats, bikes and aircraft. The graveyard near the pool was nicely presented but still caused emotions to stir. God bless his family and thanks for having us in your home.

Patricia Slovinsky

My sister is a Huge Elvis fan so we took a girls get away trip. The grounds and the house were beautiful yet not exactly the mansion most of us picture. At least not in today's idea of a mansion. The history itself was worth the tour. The memorabilia was captivating. The museum's can be a bit expensive (which is normal). We ate at Vernon's restaurant and the food was good with very friendly staff. The only bad and sad part is the area surrounding Graceland is extremely run down. Boarded up buildings surround them with trash littering the area. We also saw a few homeless people . The only flourishing part is anything Graceland. Very sad for the appearance Memphis offers its residence and tourist.

David C.

You have to go if you are visiting Memphis. I knew nothing about Elvis but he is the king of Rock so had to be done. Mansion is the most interesting part but go for the ticket which includes the exhibits of his life and costumes. The jumpsuits are amazing.

Lisha Deck

The staff could be a lot friendlier. I only came across 1 staff member that seemed happy to be there. It does effect your experience. I know the staff see a lot of visitors in a day, however they are their bread and butter. A smile and enjoy your day goes a long way.

Jonathan Velazquez

As casual fan, I enjoyed it. I did everything I wanted in 3.5 hours. However, I can see an Elvis fan taking the entire day here. There's a lot to see.

Debbie

The home, the grounds, displays beautifully done. I gave it a 4 because the tours were over crowded. Our group was not able to keep up on tablet. The employees at the dinner were rude

Alysia Bond

Before we took our trip here I had called to find out why there were asterisks next to young children being free online without explanation. The guest services representative I spoke to answered my question and then convinced me to avoid the fee by purchasing the same tickets (basic tour with no airplanes for 41- so she said) in person. I asked if we would likely be able to get those for 12:30 when we arrived at that price and she was adamant that we would be able to. When we arrived the next day not only were those specific tickets not available but they also had nothing for more than 2 hours. So definitely go ahead and pay the fee even if they say it won't be an issue getting in! After paying a 10 dollar parking fee we couldn't really leave. So that was a great way of locking us in to spend more money. The grounds were fine. The ice cream parlor isn't worth the money. The gift shops had a million ways of saying Graceland. The restrooms were impeccably clean. The service and ticket booth staff was knowledgeable. The tour wait was incredibly long. Then to get onto a shuttle we had to wait another 1.5 hours. The tour was an audio tour with a tablet. My toddler hit German so that was useless until I found someone who could unlock and reset it for me. The shuttles were clean and the drivers were friendly. Overall the Graceland tour was relatively short. The mansion itself is absolutely beautiful and a great time capsule to see for a representation of Elvis' style. The staff throughout were helpful but it wasn't very interactive. Also, since it was given through audio don't expect to interact with fellow guests too much. Once we were on a return shuttle everything went quickly. From what I could tell you should just expect a wait for most tours. It was fun, but definitely I would advise people to be fully prepared for whatever wait may be ahead of them.

Karolea Schnabel

Such a personal insight into the more private life he lived. Very moving! Glad we came!

Diane Dahr

Here's the thing, knowing you are walking where the King once lived and walked is amazing. But...the tours need to be better organized. Our tour was 10:30. By the time we watched a pointless 7 minute film, got our picture taken, stood in a long line, got on the shuttle, drove across the street, and got off the shuttle it was close to 12. The group was way too big and there are too many people in front of you to get decent pictures and too many people behind you waiting for you to get out of their way. And getting back on the shuttle is very disorganized. Most of the staff for the Elvis experience doesn't seem to want to be there and aren't very polite. I get that they have to deal with a lot of people all day long but that's the job. But, overall, I am glad I did it.

Brenda Mills

Very interesting and neat to see! The furnishings and photos seem stopped in time. The tours were interesting as the staff informed us more about what we were seeing and told us other stories from the past as well.

Roderick M

Nice place to visit for the Elvis fan but way too expensive. For two persons the total costs were about 150 dollar for the simple tour and parking. Also we had to wait quite a long time to enter the bus to the mansion and again to enter the house.

Michael Caswell

Bucket list location that doesn't disappoint. You probably need 5 hours to get round it all (Mansion and Exhibition centre). The food in the cafe is rubbish though as the staff don't give a hoot about quality and service but apart from that it delivers.

Alan Kerr

Graceland is great. The tour areas are split into a museum/history of Elvis area and the actual Graceland house and property across the road. Well worth the money. The Graceland house is preserved as Elvis lived in it and the only thing you can't do is go upstairs. If you have to pay extra for the VIP plane area that is worth it too.

Mark M

Highly recommended. Very cool to get greater insight into the King of Rock and Roll. Line to get on the bus can be very long. They have fans set up when it's hot. Might want to bring some water while waiting.

Barbara Silvas

It was amazing. We did the Ultimate VIP tour...worth every penny! Our tour guide Tony was really knowledgeable and entertaining. We were there a total of 8 hours and honestly didn't see everything. Go early...eat breakfast before you go. When they say 3 hour tour...they mean it.

Caroline Davenport

What can I say. As an Elvis fan I'd say you have to visit here at least once. It's like heaven to me, to spend a whole day devoted to Elvis. Brilliant.

Guy M

The house tour was cool. Long lines to get on the bus. Suggest reserve your time on line as very popular. A little cheesy but a Must do in Memphis . Some people are REALLY into it

Djjj S

Great! Was hoping some of Elvis's mojo would seep into me and my music. I'm not going to say it didn't work. Reverse Ethics Machine forever!

Matt Feldbruegge

Highly recommend planning on making Graceland a stopping point on your next trip around the fourth of July. They open Graceland up free to the public, have live music, bouncy house and some of the best fireworks to music that I've seen with fireballs you can feel the heat off of. This was a lot of fun for the family.

Richard Alkemade

I was very fortunate to have the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Graceland, Elvis left a truly amazing music and film legacy for the world.

jan williams

Always on my bucket list be prepared to walk a lot wish I had went when I was younger and your outside a lot it was,really hot. It's an all day affair I thought maybe a couple hours no we got there at ten didn't leave until 4 and didn't see it all was just to tired. In the house itself there is no people telling you the stories it's a tablet with headphones unless you do the vip tour. Don't do the cheapest one or you will miss out on all the museum stuff which there is tons of.

Dan Wilding

This was so much more fun that I'd expected it to be. The tour of the home was fabulous. We also toured the two jets owned by Elvis. Wow! That was fun. Touring the cars and motor cycles was fabulous too. If your in the area, and have the time, I'd highly recommend the tours. This was very interesting and well worth the time.

Linda Herron

We attended the community firework event. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. The selection of food vendors were good, plenty of seating my niece enjoyed the activities for the kids, face painting, arts and crafts, bounce house and the band and fireworks were excellent Thanks Graceland for a wonderful evening!!!

Stephen Romero

Stopped by here with my family when we were on a roadtrip going down to Florida from Illinois. If you're an Elvis fan this is an obvious go to place. You can be in and out and still have the better part of the day to spare.

Dave Manchini

Great place to visit for any Elvis fan. So many exhibits to see from his outfits to gold records. We spent the whole day there. A great experience!

Steven D'Aleo

You are given an iPad and a headset in lieu of a tour guide. Sign of the times. Access in home is limited, understandably so. Also, dined at Vernon's within the theme park. Don't get the meatloaf. Service throughout the day spent there was nothing short of awful. Southern hospitality and charm should abound at somewhere so revered as Graceland. Not the case.

Em G

A great place to visit but too many gift shops for one complex. Some cool things to see.

Scott Abajian

The King - a true icon, and Graceland gives you a fabulous glimpse into his life. It is almost the way it was when Elvis was there - all the furniture, old TVs, kitchen. This was his playground. And then you go through the museum and see all his outfits, letters, pictures, and movies he's made, his cars and motorcycles. It isn't cheap to visit, but it's worth it to see the extensive collection of everything Elvis. Highly recommend!

Randy Burris

Was a great day for couple of fans. Enjoyed it all. Folks where awesome and seemed to enjoy there place in the day.

Michael McDonald

Second time I have been to Graceland. This time my Wife was with me. If you are not a fan of Elvis you will be amazed on what he accomplished in his life time. Enriched with history throughout and interesting facts and everything is so well presented/preserved. Take your time take it all in. It is well worth going to Graceland!

Jack Burgess

Lots of fun. Plenty to see and lots of Elvis shopping. Worth every penny of the regular tour. It was around $60 a person.

Jeff Walker

The actual living quarters was very small, but interesting. I enjoyed that, but I enjoyed the artifacts and museums a little more. There is a ton of stuff to see here and you can definitely spend 4 or 5 hours easily. It's one of those things you just have to visit if you're in the area.

Patricia Slovinsky

My sister is a Huge Elvis fan so we took a girls get away trip. The grounds and the house were beautiful yet not exactly the mansion most of us picture. At least not in today's idea of a mansion.

Very sad for the appearance Memphis offers its residence and tourist.

Eduard Hernàndez

This place is a must for all Elvis fans. His mansion transports the visitor to the sixties and provides lots of information about Elvis, his family, his times, etc. No access to the second floor as per the King's wish. On the minus side, the price is outrageous. The ticket to visit the mansion and the planes costs 46 dollars, to which an additional 3 dollar fee must be added. If you go by car, add 10 dollars for parking. So, the cheapest visit costs 60 dollars. This is way too much, Elvis Presely Enterprises should reconsider their pricing strategy.

DrP B

Took grandpa there who loves old country, bluegrass and rock n roll music. The mansion is frozen in time with 70s decor. They give you headphones for a self guide audio tour. There are lots of memorabilia too look at and read through. My 14 year old enjoyed the history also. The museum across the street is full of cars, gold records, outfits, and history. He really was the king of rock n roll. We enjoyed the visit.

jcoolG19 2

My wife and I, had the most wonderful time there. We can't wait to return! My many thanks to Chris, Tetseo, Corrine and everyone for helping make it an unforgettable vacation.

Joe Stewart

Not as great as it used to be when they had free parking just for shoppers. They also used to have free entertainment with free parking. With the new owners it's all about the almighty dollar. I was shocked that they still handed out free candles for the candlelight vigil.

Calvin Thomas

Takes a bit of waiting around to actually get in to the main house but once you do it's a fantastic tour and gives and great insight in to Elvis Presley's life this tour is 100 percent worth doing, my suggestion is to go to sun city studios and do your tour from there, or if you can arrange your own transport to Graceland do it that way as it's a bit cheaper, although I'm pretty sure sun city offer free transport

Katie Lynch

We had a blast at the exhibition hall of Graceland recently. The prices were a little steep for the mansion tour but the exhibitions were better priced and very entertaining. No lines, all smiles, great time. An employee told us the exhibits revolve so check out the national geographic show before it moves!

Lorraine Liehe

Beautiful. It was Christmas time when we went & it was after touring hours but the mansion property & complex across the highway were all tastefully decorated for the holiday. We were in town for a company conference so we didn’t have time to schedule a mansion tour but it was still really nice walking the Graceland compound and standing in front of Elvis’ mansion to take pics

Pamela Hills

Everything is preserved wonderfully. There are descriptions for almost everything, and you can move along at your own pace. If you can't see parts of a room, you can explore it virtually on a tablet with a guided tour (by John Stamos). Overall, it's an amazing place, and a slice of history almost anybody could enjoy. My only complaint would be how pricey everything is, but that was to be expected.

David C.

You have to go if you are visiting Memphis. I knew nothing about Elvis but he is the king of Rock so had to be done. Mansion is the most interesting part but go for the ticket which includes the exhibits of his life and costumes. The jumpsuits are amazing.

melanie mason

I've always wanted to visit Graceland. I'm from Rapid City, South Dakota, his last show before he passed. The opportunity made it possible to visit Graceland. I grew up watching his fims in the 60's. Thank you Lisa Marie, Priscilla and family for sharing your home with us.

Keli Blevins

When my husband and I decided to go to Graceland we had no idea how much we would see. I was just thinking a picture outside the gates would be cool, but our tour showed us way more. There were Elvis' planes and cars, a movie theater, huge museum, the house itself and their Graves. All his clothes and jewelry and even Priscilla and Lisa Marie items. It was really cool, my husband and I aren't even die-hard Elvis fans but we enjoyed seeing Graceland immensely. We got the VIP tour which includes a meal and that was delicious. There was only one other couple on our tour, and that was awesome because we didn't have to worry about the crowds. You could literally spend all day here. We really had a great time!

Stadiume Hott

Had a great time here. One of the best things to do in Memphis. I was on a massive road trip and decided to travel through Memphis to check this historic site out. Even the entrance was fun. The gift shop was wonderful. Think I spent an hour in the gift shop alone. I do respect Elvis a lot, so I was pretty excited. The actual Museum was interesting... there's not a whole lot to it, but if you liked the man and the History then you do appreciate that you're experiencing a piece of great American History.

The Traveling Dad: A Guide to the Traveling Parent

1 for the money and5 for the show. Expensive but worth it if you loved Elvis/ would like to see some better family themed things. Overall fun.

Darlene Martinez

We enjoyed the amazing experience at Graceland. The environment was very calm. Our children learned about the King of Rock. Overall a must when you visit Tennessee!

Amy Cripps

If you're an Elvis fan, you'll love this place. If you're not a fan, you will be when you leave. It's a magical kind of place that's hard to explain unless you've been... So go check it out. It's one of my favorite places to visit.

Emily Wallace

Really nice tour. We only saw Mansion and planes, but it was really interesting. Grounds were beautiful. House was smaller than I imagined and you only get to see the downstairs. However, it is like a time capsule in the decor and the technology of the 70s. My kids were in awe of how wide the TVs were. All of the staff were so friendly. I would recommend even for families like ours who are not mega Elvis fans.

Blanca Gonzalez PRYOR

It was one of our "we gave to" stops, no regrets. I don't think Elvis could ever or imagine what has become of his legacy. Its incredible what he left for all the generations after him to enjoy.

Anthony Davis

Graceland was AWESOME! A must see it was amazing to see a young Elvis do well at a young age Talking about living life at the fullest. He was like 21yrs ole if I'm not mistaken when he purchased his home and, to see how he lived his life and the way they have kept it up. Two thumbs up for them. The crew was on point and very knowledgeable. What a Great place to visit. A decent amount of walking so wear confirmable shoes.

Update: pictures

Paul Bridge

Been wanting to go for 2 years. Really enjoyed it. I spent 3hrs. I could have spent 5hrs. So much to see.

Nancy zorn micke

Great tribute to the man and his music. Expanded exhibition hall is a nice improvement from my first visit 7 years ago.

JAMES Rorer

Evils is not my thing. I was a fan of the movies as a kid when kool was still in my vocabulary. I made this trip as a gift for my wife and because she enjoyed it that rubbed into me. I would recommend this excursion whether you're a fan or not. Besides it is American pop culture history. We took the Evils Experience Tour which is very affordable. Check it out.

m0nk3ynutZ

Overexposed and commercialized but still an amazing tribute to the one and only King of Rock and Roll! Go during Elvis week if you can (mid-August) and make sure to take in the candlelight vigil on the night of the 15th... you won't regret it. The Elvis impersonators seem to keep getting better and better!

Robert Shafer

Really cool to walk through and tour Graceland. Have always wanted to go and glad I did. We did the Ultimate tour with the kids and it was outstanding. Parking is is $10 and there's more to it than just the house. The museum is across from the actual house and you can even tour the plans Elvis owned.

Stuart Robb

Excellent trip to Graceland. As the only Scottish man in the group I was given the honour of opening the front door of the mansion to the public. No charge

Alec Mclaren

I thought the Elvis Experience was the best bang for your buck!!!! Lots to see at your own leisure..... the extra exhibits were a surprise bonus!!! I would definitely do this tour again. Souvenirs were more then reasonably priced!!! Loved it ....loved it..... loved it!!!!!

Margie Moore

This was a surprise for my sister who is a lifelong fan of Elvis. We both enjoyed the tour of the house and life of one of America's greatest talents. We first arrived to the parking lot and paid $10 fee. Then we proceeded to a ticket booth and bought the tickets for the Elvis Presley's Graceland Tour with Audio Guide & Airplanes. We recommend anybody visiting to do it this way and avoid coming late with the risk of not getting tickets for the same day. We witnessed some people being very sad because this happened to them.

Martin Harris

What a great place to visit. My wife is a life long Elvis fan, so she was blown away. I very much enjoyed the experience . Evis fan or not a great place.

Laurie Pitman

It's a tourist trap, and an expensive one. Even on a Monday in November, there were lines and waits and crowds. You only get to see the bottom part of the house. However the place is full of interesting objects and Elvis memorabilia. Worth the visit if you can stand it. The jumpsuits and cars are worth the extra fee but I didn't spring for the airplane add-on.

Mike Brodbeck

Great experience and a lot of fun. Lots of things to see and learn. There's audio systems given out, that's included. It's 50-60 bucks per adult, so it's not exactly something "cheap" to do with your family. Parking is $10 as well. They need more shuttles IMO, the wait was too long. That's my only complaint.

Tina Lantz

If you're a baby boomer or just interested in the history of rock and roll and Elvis you will find this to be a very interesting tour. Well worth the time!

T D

Everything you would expect and more in my mind. I bought the 61.00 package and that's all I could ask for I also paid for the planes but I totally forgot about going to them. No regrets at all.

Chris Nycum

Definitely worth seeing when in Memphis. I caught a show at the Soundstage here and went through the Elvis Memphis museums. A good collection of not only Elvis but the Sam Phillips / Sun Records exhibit was especially interesting. $10 to just park kind of sucks though and seems like a needless charge.

steven wiles

Went for the anniversary of Elvis' death. Lots of flowers, people still adore him. I kinda thought the lawn was a little weedy, but very nice otherwise.

pete savage

Graceland is an awesome place to visit! It's very historic and very well preserved. The mansion is actually across the street from the museum in the museum is fabulous as well as the house and estate. Plan a minimum of 4 hours if you're going to do the tour and the museum. I would recommend adding the planes to the tour as well, it's an extra $6 but it's really neat to see. They do cram a bunch of people through the house at once and they don't let you go in every single room, what you do see is fabulous and it's really neat to see some of Elvis's life. This really put me in the moment of his living experience.

Mary Shay

I've been there 4 or 5 times and they have recently remodeled. The museum is outstanding. So much to see and so worth the trip. Elvis was the absolute best.

Stewart Smith

A great place to visit and see the life of Elvis. I had no idea, on this 30 day road trip across America, this placed impressed me like no other, including all 5 Presidential libraries, that we saw on this trip. I took more photos then any other place we've been so far. His opulent lifestyle was evident throughout the tour. The number of cashed checks I saw to multiple charities, was impressive and really showed his true colors for his fellow mankind. I could go on forever but really no need, I think you get the point. I left Graceland with a kinder, gentler heart for my fellow man, and I'm already an RN. If there is one place you should see before you leave this earth, Graceland should be it. God Bless.

Lizza Busy bee

Allow 4 hrs off season if you don't have an admission time. Enjoyed learning more about Elvis and his early life.

G Carney

Absolutely loved the mansion could have stayed all day so much to see. We'll worth a visit

Phillip Coonce

What an honor and a pleasure to visit the house of the Legend and King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley. I loved every single minute, every moment as I walked on step at a time through this historic landmark.

Stadiume Hott

Had a great time here. One of the best things to do in Memphis. I was on a massive road trip and decided to travel through Memphis to check this historic site out. Even the entrance was fun. The gift shop was wonderful. Think I spent an hour in the gift shop alone. I do respect Elvis a lot, so I was pretty excited. The actual Museum was interesting... there's not a whole lot to it, but if you liked the man and the History then you do appreciate that you're experiencing a piece of great American History.

David Jones

I remember hearing of the Death of Elvis when I was 10 years old and being really sad. Visiting and walking through his home was an amazing experience, there is just so much to see and hear and being their with so many fans is awesome. I'm so happy I was able to visit with family.

Vanita Strong

Interesting 1 time visit...way too much for tickets though. I did come away with a new respect for Elvis He put his money where most people just talk...he helped the needy and gave without fanfare ....

Rob P

Enjoyed the whole experience. After the mansion, you can enjoy looking at all of Elvis' life through the things he owned and experienced. Lots of great info along with his possessions.

John Grover

Well done! Friendly, helpful staff. Well organized and efficient. And lots of memorabilia. The mansion is well kept as though Elvis had been there yesterday. It was a great visit!

Reza A

I was debating if it was going to be worth it. Glad I decided to take the tour. Sad and fun at the same time. The pictures on the net do not do justice. Seeing it live has a much better feel. You will not be disappointed.

Scott Crawford

Graceland is as expected for Elvis - over the top. It was amazing that just visiting the Presley home made Elvis just that much more endearing. Being so close to the things he touched and loved was a rollercoaster of awe, respect, and sadness. Never thought I would go, but certianly enjoyed the experience. Recommend it for anyone in the Memphis area.

Sharon or Tom Nelson

We really enjoyed it. It was much improved as it was expanded two years ago.

Brent B.

The people that work with his estate still say he haunts the place. I dont buy it, but makes for some eye popping stories when they tell you how things move around in the house or noises happen right when someone asks a question that only Elvis could answer. Eeks. You cant get into the bathroom where he overdosed, some other parts are blocked as well, but still its a great tour, whether you are a fan or not.

Jason Toogood

You feel it from the moment you step off the bus at the front door. Each room kept in pristine condition. So much information and when you here who the narrator of the tour is you can't help but smile. You don't have to be a die-hard Elvis fan to truly enjoy it.

Debbie Jacobsmeier

It was fascinating seeing how Elvis lived and listening to the stories of his life there. The home and museum have so many things to see make sure you are prepared for a long tour so you can see everything. Plan for a break to sit and have lunch at Vernon's Smokehouse. It has some good comfort food. The staff are very friendly.

Brandy Marek

I loved everything about this visit! Being a Memphian most of my life, I had actually never been before. I loved it, could have spent more time there and can't wait to go again!

Mallory Rice

Absolutely amazing experience! I love that the house is still set up & decorated the way it was when Elvis was alive. I wish they wouldn't overbook the tours though bc it was extremely crowded in there and hard to move around. Other than that, we had a great time touring Graceland!

Colin Agar

I'm not a great Elvis fan but this was a full day's activity/entertainment. The house is interesting, if only for it's relatively small size and Seventies kitsch style. The exhibition centre has some interesting stuff on display.

Nerelly Lowe

Terrific complex showing Elvis's life. Great exhibitions of everything else. Loved his house and grounds.

Fred Bexte

Even if you aren't an Elvis fan, this is a historically significant chapter of early rock and roll. Yes, it is cheesy, gaudy, relatively untouched since his untimely death, but it is a spectacular testament to the raw talent he possessed. An afternoon, well spent for any rock and roll fan!

Johna Julch

Graceland was awesome! Very impressed impresses work all that I seen. The staff was wonderful

KT Gibb

Breathtaking place to visit. Very emotional & very exciting. Excellent tour and well organised. Highly recommend.

holly hoffman

Super worth the cost of upgrade. We did entourage VIP, 2ND on list and airplane. About $105 each, saw a lot more than basic and saved 20 minutes with free, front door 1st in line, access to mansion. Every fan should go once.

James C. Price

The place is definitely a time warp back to the 60's & 70's. Smaller than expected and dated. Audio tour was narrated by John Stamos on an iPad. Guides are available for any additional questions. House itself is a bit crowded with tourists squeezing through tight quarters and hallways as the rooms are blocked off. Overall a worthwhile visit but it was definitely less spectacular than I was expecting.

Tracy Hugenroth

Tour is a little crowded, rushed and vague for the money. Instructions for iPad audio guide could have been better for us, the technologically challenged generation. Understand that price is necessary for upkeep though.

Oswaldo Oswaldo

Very interesting and fun. The people were great. Highly recommended tour. Very personal and not rushed

Abby Jones

I’m not a massive Elvis fan and even I can say this is a must see experience. There is so much info, history and things to see. Well run and the staff are great

Henry Martinez

Just awesome. I took a VIP tour and it was nice and I totally enjoyed it. A lot to take in but well worth it. VIVA Elvis..

Rita Munn

It was nice! We saw alot of Elvis Presley icons.The mansion was Beautiful! The Elvis cars was the best! We love it all!

Carol Chase

I don't know how to express the quality of feeling and experience here. It has been incredible with the Return to Las Vegas 1969 the pinnacle. The production itself was absolutely astounding and then the return of original band members more so.

Angie Dunn

Would have been a 5 but my husband, who is in a wheelchair was not allowed to see the whole of it. Ad his carer neither was I. We both paid the same as everyone else so I felt it was unfair that there was no attempt to show him to have the whole experience. Saying that way we did see was amazing and the staff were very knowledgeable and attentive.

Beth Williams

I'm a very big Elvis fan and I absolutely loved the experience given by going on the ultimate VIP your. The best way to experience everything there.

Cynthia P

Graceland was way more than we expected. We thought we'd be there a couple of hours and ended up spending at least 5. We toured the house, the planes, the cars (and more), his military career, replica recording studio, Elvis' Memphis...it was an amazing experience. In general the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurants on site are mediocre at best and pricey for what you get.

Mark Rus

Overall Graceland is a wonderful place. They have done a great job telling the story. My 10 year old enjoyed it as much as I at 55. It's really neat how they have not changed a thing after all these years. Would have given 5 stars if it was more affordable!

Snow Bird Nancy

Finally decided to take the trip and it was worth it. It is like a time capsule of my youth. I highly recommend the trip as it it well maintained and the price is right. Less crowded than I thought it would be also.

pedro ramos

Amazing. Ultimate VIP was worth the extra cash. Plenty of parking. Lots of bathrooms. If you are also seeing the planes you enter from the main area....not the lot. Cheers.

kayla rackley

So pulling up to Graceland you are asked to pay $10..which you would think gets you in to see Elvis house or something... nope! It’s literally just parking.... and the staff was completely unhelpful and rude. They just said $10, pull forward. No explanation of the park or anything!! Like people come there all the time or something?? Everyone person there has prob never been there. I mean who does a tour twice? The parking attendants should provide more information to the customers... For as much as you’re paying for everything there it’s insane. There is no signs up stating pricing for tickets or anything... just $10... It’s obscene!! To do any of the tours starting $29.99-$176.00 and the $29.99 is just to see his “stuff” no house no nothing. It’s a joke!! Elvis would be disappointed if he saw how he was being remembered... I know I would. We will not be back.

Bonnie Wesselhoff

I don't think the value is equivalent to the cost... Coming from somebody who adored Elvis in the 60s... There's something so sad about looking at the history and the finale.

Melva Garcia

Excellent exhibits! Most employees need some retraining. Except for a very few friendly, jovial, helpful faces, the feeling we got was that we were a bother and unnecessary there.

Ed True

The museum makes the entire experience great. Plan on lots of time to take in all the history of the "King"

Rebecca Pohto

It was great. My mom is using a walker and everyone that works there was so helpful and accommodating. I just wish the upstairs bedrooms were open.

Tammie Masters

I honestly would have never done this tour, but my sister wanted to take this tour. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this tour. Our mom was a huge fan and we grew up listening to Elvis. Mom and Dad even went to one of his concerts. This brought back many memories of our mom and her craziness of Elvis. We arrived at 9:30 am, did all the tours, and left at 3:30. There's plenty to see so give yourself time to enjoy. The negative was the food. We were not prepared with snacks, so we didn't want to spend $5 on a cheap hotdog. 1 coke, 1 bottled water, 2 bags of chips we spent $8. Come with snacks and water. They have a restaurant but we didn't go in there.

Glenn Hermann

Very cool tour of Elvis's home and a great glimpse into this personal life. A must for anyone who appreciates his music!

Bobbie Anderson

Really enjoyed. There is a lot of waiting around. For price, should be more inclusive. But was very interesting. I love all the Elvis music. He was a phenomenal singer.

Maggie Hughes

I enjoyed Graceland more than I expected to. I don't have a particular interest in Elvis, but his house and planes were very cool to see and were an interesting "time capsule" from his era. It would have been nice to see some of the upstairs of the house and gotten more info about his life, but overall I was happy with the tour (which is self-guided audio narrated by John Stamos). I do think it's a little overpriced for the tour and parking, I got the least expensive option and still paid $10 to park and over $40 for the tour, but overall I'm glad I did it!

Gloria Parrott

Totally amazing everything is beautiful and all the feelings of Elvis!! Absolutely awesome, this is my second time staying there and will return to stay everytime I'm in Memphis!!

J G

I'm an Elvis fan I was in Nashville had to drive to Memphis. Had to see the home of the king. Totally worth it. It was amazing, unexpected and cool. I am so glad I went. If you're an Elvis fan you got to go.

Edward Fights

Drove in from Jersey. Place was wonderful. Parents always wanted to go. Such a cool thing to see before you die. Want Elvis? You'll get him. Staff was very helpful. Would come again.

BlokeBird C.

Loved it. Interesting and fun for the whole family. Beautiful place. Glad we were able to visit.

Brandy Wells

So serine. Definitely go before the tours start. The earlier the better.

TheGlitzQueen

Little pricey, but definitely worth seeing at least once in your lifetime. Especially if you're an Elvis fan. It was awesome to see pieces of history and overall a very enjoyable experience.

Tim Stumpff

This is a must see if you are a music fan. Period. Friendly staff, nice facility / exhibits. Buy your tickets in advance, it saved us time. We needed much more time than the average 3-1/2 to 4 hours stated in the brochure but then again we love museums and these type of things.
