Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stax Museum of American Soul Music is a must-see for anyone visiting the area. It features the Wall of Sound, a collection of every album and single released by Stax Studios from 1957 to 1975. You can even touch the microphone Elvis once used in the recording studio! The museum also features a Holocaust room and a room dedicated to Oriental Jews. It was founded in 1852 and is home to a museum and archive of the history of music in Memphis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If art is your thing, you&#8217;ll love the Dixon Gallery of Art. The museum is filled with beautiful pieces and educational programs for kids. Margaret Dixon, the woman who founded the museum, bequeathed it to the city for public use. You can find French Impressionist paintings and Italian landscape influences throughout the galleries&#8217; collection. You&#8217;ll also be able to see up to 600 pieces of German porcelain at the Dixon Gallery. This is an excellent place to visit in Memphis, and there are plenty of fun activities and exhibits for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Memphis In May is a month-long celebration of art, music, and food. During this time, hotels throughout the city are filled with gaming booths, shopping booths, and merchandise stands. There&#8217;s never a dull moment in this city, so you might as well make the most of it while you&#8217;re here. Memphis In May also features barbecue championships and a 5000-mile marathon. For those who prefer to experience the city on foot, a tour with Blues City can be just the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you&#8217;re in the city of Memphis, don&#8217;t forget to stop by the famous Brooks Museum of Art. It&#8217;s the largest art museum in the state of Tennessee, and was designed by German immigrant Jacob Burkle. The building was originally built to be a safe haven for escaped slaves. The museum features 29 galleries and a research library. The museum also features a children&#8217;s museum and a botanic garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Families should also take the time to visit the Children&#8217;s Museum of Memphis. The museum was founded in 1990 and features more than 20 interactive exhibits. There are two themed areas for young children: Campground\/Rockwall and Great American Airways. Other interactive areas include My First Book Club, Afternest Art, and Center Stage Play Time. Several events take place throughout the year. You can expect to spend several hours exploring these attractions. For those who want a more hands-on experience, a trip to the Children&#8217;s Museum of Memphis is the perfect way to get started on a family-friendly vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great option for families in Memphis is Shelby Farms. This 2,500-acre park features lakes, hills, forests, and other attractions. There&#8217;s even a place for pets. It&#8217;s the perfect place for families to unwind with a day trip to Memphis. You can also explore Shelby Farms, a golf course that&#8217;s a great way to spend the day. And if you&#8217;re feeling more adventurous, you can also visit the nearby Zoo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re planning a family trip to Memphis, you may be wondering what the best places to visit in the area are.
