Mud Island River Park

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 hot to wait inside the worker told them that she had been sitting in the heat for 8 hours. (But she's getting paid to sit there, right? And she was sitting outside where the wind was blowing, not inside where there was no circulation) The different areas were dingy, like they weren't really upkept. The souveneir shops didn't really have any Mud Island souveneirs, and one of the Restaurants were out of water bottles and only had nachos to eat. However, the Mississippi miniature river was very cool. Also the musuem had different areas that were actually made to look like you were in a Riverboat, a Union War Ship, and on the banks of the Mississippi river w/the Confederates. The decor and sound effects were awesome! The visit was worth if for these two things alone. If you don't mind the other stuff, then you'll enjoy it immensely.

I went to this 4th on the island The vendors has a booth set up by the water park had a sing out for funnel cake for 4.00 dollars but was tryign to sell them for 5.00 when I brought this to there attention one of the worker at the vendor booth got nasty and was curzing me and telling me she can beat my ASS and I had my grandkids with me so if this what we have to look forward to when we go to events at mudisland being cuz at and threatened when we come should we be infear for or life and kids while we are there and shouldn't something be done to this worker should she be let go from this company or should she still be working there.

the museum was great but everything else boring it has not been kept up in fact the side walk is missing bricks and they could have really used more things out side we never understood what the point is

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)

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 connects Arkansas and Tennessee and so much more from this location. The miniture Mississippi River model opens up to this neat spot where you can ride paddle boats or wade in this fountain. My kids had so much fun. There is alot of shady places to just sit and relax. So, can I move it to my hometown?

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 the movie "The FIRM" starring Tom Cruise was filmed there and as soon as I got home, I watched it. I thought it was cool, because on the movie, he rides the tram on Mud Island! I will go back a a million times! It is great fun for the whole family!

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.
