Graceland, Memphis

I'm not an Elivis fan and have never really thought about him, but I was suprisenly impressed with this. It's not only a house, but a museum of the history of Elivis. It was wonderful, and I would have gave it a 5 stars if I was a fan, but everyone should go.

I loved that place I wish I had more time there. We were going home to Colorado,so it was a stop I am glad we made.His house the grounds were just like what you have seen in magazines/ tv shows .loved it loved it. If your truly a fan you will enjoy it .I will go back someday again.Yes it has the shops where you can buy stuff and spend alot or alittle.It is what you want to make of it .For me it was something that I alway wanted to do, I am gald I went it will be a great memory for me.I have to say thanks Alex my husband for stopping to make the time so I could see where the King lived.

My wife took me to Graceland for my 50th birthday. She knows I have been an Elvis fan for most of my life. My cousin and her husband went with us. The four of us did the VIP tour and it was worth every penny. The staff treated us like royalty. Graceland was smaller than I had pictured from the movies and such, but it felt like we were going into sombody's home, not just touring an empty museum. We were albe to talk to George Klien between sets at Graceland radio and he was awesome. The places around Graceland might be a little run down, but I had blinders on and didn't care a bit. The gift shops were great and I scored a XXL tour jacket for $199 on sale. Life is good and Elvis was a great man that deserves our respect. Rest in Peace Brother. TCB!

the worst place to come to waste of time and money who is Elvis btw

The operators have a very good set up of getting people in and out of the buildings and attractions. There are a few add ons that are just repetition of other buildings. The house and plane are quite interesting and provide a look into the rich and famous of the time period. I would say that everyone should do it once!

I have lived in Memphis and nearby for all my life and had never visited Graceland until the other day. Being from this area and being exposed to the diverse musical influences that entails, I have always been at least a so-so Elvis fan. I was born while he was in the Army and played some 45's my mother had and was impressed as a young child, but never considered myself a huge fan. I have grown to appreciate his unprecedented global impact. I had heard many opinions of Graceland through the years and decided to go see for myself. As I said in the subject line I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard tales of the overt "tackiness" which I can now say have been wrong. Yes it has a 1970's style, but it is a "time capsule". I loved it. I expected some of the exhibits to have a seedy, tourist trap feel, but I was wrong about that as well. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone whether you consider yourself a fanatical fan, or not much of a fan at all. I will probably visit again, and take some "locals" who may suffer from the same preconceived ideas I had.

Our hotel wanted us to arrived at Graceland after 12 Noon. I am so glad I cancelled that reservation for the shuttle and arrived on our own at 10 a.m., because we did not leave until 4 p.m. and would not have had time to see everything and shop. We stayed in Southaven, Mississippi and it is only 15 minute drive from there. We did have to pay a ten dollar parking fee, though, in addition to the 35.00 ticket price. The self guided audio tour is great! All the employees there are very knowledgeable and will be sure to make your time at the mansion and grounds enjoyable. THANKS LISA MARIE for sharing with his beloved fans. L and J w

After all the hype about Graceland, I was disappointed about the tour. I expected more from the tour. The house was extremely gaudy but of course you must think of the time when it was built, I would have expected more lavious interior then it was. It is awful that the surrounding neighborhood is deterioting. I would not want to go visit later in the day. I was apparant the he did love his only child, Lisa Marie

My daughters and I loved every minute at Gracelands We have been there twice and cant wait to go back over.....This had been one of the Most beautiful hightlights in our lives We will never forget........Elvis was such A beautiful human being and gave so much to this world. Im glad Lisa has allowed fans to visit inside Gracelands Thanks Lisa Im sure your Daddy would be pleased with your choice. I can see why Elvis loved his home Its so peaceful and Homely..You can feel the love Elvis had for his home...........Visiting Gracelands allows his fans to reflect on Elvis and what he achieved during his life....... how amazing he really was. .He was a man with Class with a Capital C Rest in Peace Dear Elvis We will always love and miss you .... God Bless Gracelands and the lovely Staff there......... Keep up the good work

Twelve years ago a friend visited me during my recuperation from hip surgery. We went to Graceland and I was tremendously impressed by the courtesy of the staff and the smoothness of the visit. Everyone spoke directly to me as I sat in the chair and when we came to the downstairs tv room a staff member pushed my chair around to the carport in back, where my friend could meet me. for the rest of the tour. Last month I went to Graceland with another out-of-town visitor. I needed to borrow a wheelchair again, as I now have knee and back problems. I can walk, but stairs and standing for long periods are a problem. First visit my friend was able to get a wheelchair at the ticket window and bring it to me at the car. This time the wheelchair was not available until arriving at the mansion. No problem--I can walk, and the shuttles still have lifts for people who bring their own chairs. At the house there was a wait while staff looked for a wheelchair. It was an extra-wide and kept knocking against the doorjambs. When we got to the stairs going down, there was no one available to push me around to the back. I was able to stand and push the chair around the outside of the house myself. I guess the companions of fulltime wheelchair users would have to take them around and double back to visit the tv room. The change in the staffing situation was startling. Is it just economy or the change in EPE management? The folks at the mansion were short-staffed and seemed confused about how they were going to get me around to the back area. The same thing at the Rockabilly Cafe. One young woman was taking orders and flipping hamburgers--taking more orders and back to flip the same burger patties over and over. I got my burger within 5 minutes and my friend waited another 10 minutes before going back to the counter to see what happened to her order. Someone bringing stuff from the back finally helped the overloaded burger-flipper get my friend served. As a local I know that Graceland's customer service reputation has been deservedly high. They have always been so helpful and respectful of Elvis fans. This time the friendly attitude was still there, but the staff seemed hurting for help.
