Kid-friendly Memphis
Known for its iconic music and food, Memphis is also a perfect destination for families.
Steeped in history, and a vital place in the evolution of civil rights, the destination offers incredibly important lessons and insights for children of all ages, as well as endless fun. It’s time to jazz up your family trip in the city of Blues, Soul and Rock n Roll.
Children’s Museum of Memphis
A place that inspires children to explore and create, the Children’s Museum of Memphis is an excellent place for inquiring minds. Hands on experiences will keep kids occupied, from a tornado to a carousel. The museum is ranked as one of the best of its kind in the country.
The Fire Museum
Literally Memphis’ hottest attraction, the Fire Museum of Memphis sits within the renovated fire house and kids can take part in an escape maze and a fire safety arcade.
Shelby Park Farms
Located in the heart of Memphis and open 365 days a year, this is one of the largest urban parks in the US. At 4,500 acres, the park is a vibrant hub and simultaneously a retreat from urban life. It offers more than 40 miles of paved and unpaved trails perfect for hiking and biking. There are more than 20 bodies of water in the park which make fishing possible, and in warmer months, kids will love the Water Play Sprayground and Woodland Discovery Playground. The park is also home to a herd of buffalo.
To keep the kids happy once at your accommodation, opt for a hotel that they will love. Famed for its daily duck parade, The Peabody Memphis is considered to be Memphis’ grandest hotel, and it offers a special family package. Additionally, the hotel’s pastry team creates their own ice cream and other irresistible desserts.
