Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Memphis Discovery Tour?

A: There's no specific age limit for the Memphis Discovery Tour, but I recommend it for kids aged 10 and up since some historical content might be a bit heavy for younger ones. It's definitely suitable for adults and teens! Also, make sure to check if the museum has any temporary exhibits that might interest them.

Q: What should I wear for the Memphis Discovery Tour? Is it mostly walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you’ll do a fair bit of walking around downtown Memphis, especially on Beale Street. The weather can be hot, so light clothing is a good idea. If you're taking the riverboat cruise, maybe bring a light jacket for when it cools down in the evening.

Q: What are the parking options like near the National Civil Rights Museum?

A: There are several parking lots near the National Civil Rights Museum, but they can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. I suggest arriving a bit early or checking for street parking. If you’re doing the riverboat cruise, they also have parking nearby. Just keep an eye on signs for any fees!

Just did the Memphis Discovery Tour! Here’s my take!

I recently did the Memphis Discovery Tour and wow, it was incredible! The guide was super knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the music scene and the Civil Rights Museum. The BBQ tastings were a highlight too - best pork I’ve ever had! We even got to take a riverboat cruise after, which was such a relaxing way to see the river. Totally recommend this for anyone visiting Memphis!

Thinking of gifting the Memphis Discovery Tour, but need some tips!

I’m considering this tour for my dad’s birthday since he loves history and BBQ. Has anyone done it recently? What’s the vibe like? I want to make sure it’ll be a fun day for him. Also, is the riverboat cruise worth it or should I skip it?
