I wasn't a big fan of Elvis before the trip to Memphis and Nashville, but I've left with a great appreciation for his talent and career and will be enjoying more of his music. Despite some areas for improvement, this is a favourite memory from our recent trip.
Our visit to Graceland was enjoyable. I especially liked seeing several of his cars, hand-written notes, family history, and the Lisa Marie exhibit. I do feel that the exhibits could be better presented when compared to something like exhibits found at the CMHF (Country Music Hall of Fame), but the content of the exhibits was excellent. A simple example would be that many of the vehicles were sitting on flat tires, which gave the impression of a lack of care --vs CMHF, where they had cars in pristine condition, elevated off the ground, with lights showcasing the interior and doors often open for a better view.
Our tour of the house was especially enjoyable, and it tied everything together really well. I also enjoyed walking through the airplanes, but it was disappointing that so much was blocked off, which I understand is for preservation purposes. It is sad to see the planes' condition deteriorating, and it would also be nice if there were photos and displays inside showing the various areas in use by Elvis and his family, along with stories to provide perspective.
I did not opt for the audio tour option, but I will probably do that if I visit again. If you're an Elvis Fan and happen to be in Nashville, too, I'd suggest doing a Studio B tour as it is heavily focussed on Elvis' career and nicely compliments a visit to Graceland.
