Definitely go see graceland! We stayed at the peabody hotel which is famous nationally. it’s not the most budget friendly but it’s great for kids. They have duck shows twice a day and its very nice (the ducks live there)

Bass Pro Shop...I know it sounds crazy but it really cool...and free! The views from the top are really cool, but may not be worth the money with that many of you. You can also park there for free and then take the trolley downtown cheaply if you decide to stay outside of downtown.

I have been a handful of times and always stay at an Airbnbs, usually in Midtown. It's an easy town to drive in or ubers are quite cheap as everything is pretty close. I loved visiting Sun Studios to see where some of the greats recorded their albums. Bass Pro Shop was very cool and having a drink in the sky bar while looking over the city was fantastic. You can go Kayaking on the River at a park downtown. Walk down Beale street during the day to hear the music, see the art. Hope you enjoy it!
