No trip to Memphis is complete without visiting the mansion and estate of the King of Rock and Roll. Walk through the famous front gate, shaped like a book of sheet music, and enter the private world of American legend Elvis Presley. Next to his family and his music, Graceland was Elvis Presley’s greatest pride and joy. The first stop in the mansion is the foyer, where you will see Elvis’ living room, dining room, kitchen and his mother’s bedroom. The Jungle Room resembles Hawaii, where Elvis often vacationed and performed, and has green shag carpets and exotically carved wood. The Trophy Building houses an impressive collection of Elvis’ gold and platinum records, as well as other memorabilia from his career that highlights the amazing story of this American icon. See Elvis’ iconic jumpsuits and awards in the Racquetball Building, where Elvis used to enjoy his leisure time. After touring the inside of the mansion, visit the Meditation Garden where Elvis and members of his family have been laid to rest.
