We went to Mud Island last weekend, did the monorail (probably would've been better to walk the bridge) We had to wait in the monorail car, for about 15 minutes before it started, which has no air, and the workers would not let us get off. Telling us if we were going to ride it we had to wait inside. When another couple told them it was too ...

Enjoyed the entire experience. The monorail (Try to get to the leading part of the car; the feeling that one is about to collide with the bridge brings an element of excitement to the ride.), the museum (Take your time there is a lot to absorb.) and the river walk (The water was clean and the entire area well maintained.). A very nice place...
We went this weekend it was more than we thought. it was realy nice and peacful. we only paid the 4.00 for ride on the monorail. just going out side and walk in the park area. was really nice looking at the river. was just breathe taking. we made the walk all the way to the new orleans. it is worth it. take a camera :o)

the water great on a hot day
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/30/08
When we visited Mud island it was a hot day, the tour of kindergrten- 5th grade really enjoyed walking and playing in the water & purchasing treats from the concession stand after going thru the museum. The tour was interesting and walking back over was good excercise.
it was nice to leisurely walk around the island and see how the Mississippi River runs thru the U.S. took the pedestrian walkway over even though the tram runs underneath the walkway. quiet spot to enjoy an afternoon. swings set up along the river. would have liked to stayed longer but had to catch a plane. small cafe there to grab simple bite to eat. would definitely go back if I should return to Memphis.
Oh, WOW!! We almost didn't go to this attractions because we were so tired and ready to drive back home, but we stopped. It is so neat. It was my favorite place in Memphis. We did not visit the museum, just the park. It is a great place to have a picnic. The sight are amazing. You can see barges on the Mississippi River. The bridge that ...
I loved Mud Island!!! I went to Memphis for Graceland, but when I heard about this place I thought that I would give it a try and I thought it was great! I have been back to Memphis 4 times and it was great every time! The museum is awesome and I loved walking "in the Mississippi River"!! I thought the tram ride was fabulous. I know that ...
I enjoyed the visit to Mud Island overall. The view was wonderful and the riverwalk was a hit with the kids. I did find the monorail and the museum to be a little pricey although I did enjoy both. I was really disappointed the Memphis Belle was no longer on display. I think it was a nice place to visit but I will probably find other places to see next time I'm in town.
