Perhaps explore the Downtown area to experience the sound of Jazz along Beale Street or visit Sun Records, Elvis' first recording studios. The fantastic Memphis Zoo is well worth a visit for its Panda exhibit, and the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was assassinated, is now the Civil Rights Museum and is a historical and moving experience.
