The Memphis Zoo is great for all ages! There are many animals and the park is laid out well. Our kids really enjoyed watching the apes with their young, the giraffes, and the many species of cats that are housed there. In addition, the park has many different angles to see most of the animals, which makes locating them easier.
The Mississippi River was also a hit with the kids. We strolled along the walkway and spent some time at a park there. If you'd like, you may also take a ride on a riverboat.
The ducks at the Peabody Hotel is well worth seeing. My biggest suggestion is to get there early. We were a half hour early and people were already lining up. Everyday at 11 am the Duckmaster leads the ducks into the pond. Then at 5 pm he leads then back up the elevator. He gives a speech about the history of how it came to be. Seriously, this was fun! And it's free!
BBQ is a family favorite! There are many places for ribs, but according to Elvis and our family, Marlowe's is the best!
With only one day to spend in Memphis, this is what we did. The kids loved it and wished we had more time to stay there. The people were very friendly and weather was nice.
