I went there with my family last year during spring break. It was well worth the drive, as we live in washington. If any of you are planning on going, it is a very nice experience

We're older folks from New Haven who've been wondering how all y'all younger folks knew about The King??? Also, we've been hoping to get on out (great pics!, btw) sometime soon in our RV, so maybe see you then???

I am an 18 year old Elvis Fanatic, you cant get a bigger fan than me... i guess everyone says this and im sure everyone feels the same way as i do about this legendary god that will always be impossible to forget. Anyway for this special birthday age, my mum and dad planned a surprise trip to Graceland, the place i could only ever dream about going to. its not untill 15 days time in which i go, i cannot wait im so excited and so thankfull that i have such wonderful parents to have been given a birthday present like this, nothing will compare to this.. justlike no other artist will compare to The King of Rock n Roll. Theres not a second that goes by that i dont imagine walking into his home, where he lived, where he died without getting a chill down my spine, i mean to think that i will be walking over the footsteps of which Elvis Presley walked... AMAZING!

If you LOVE Elvis, you'll like this. If you wanted to see a fancy spacious home, this isn't it. Tiny rooms, herded around like sheep. They made everything into Elvis, from the garage to the walkway to the carport to the bathroom. Overwhelmed by it all. Room after room of videos of Elvis singing and in movies. Best room was the car museum. The house is across the street, which you take by bus. Good luck understanding the accents of the workers there. No signs where to go to on the biz side - store after store after store of elvis crap for sale. They give you tickets, and you have to ask 3 attendants before you find where to go to. I wouldn't go back again, nor would recommend it. And I love to dance and rock and roll! But if there wasn't a line, I could have seen the $35 cheap tour in ten minutes.

I visited in march 2008. It was the most amazing thing i have seen in my entire life. Everything was amazing to the home videos they had playing of him and his family to his grave in the garden. There was a very somber mood that made it even better. I loved every second of it. And it is really cool that you can control your own tour guide headset. Also the bus ride up to his house is fun. It makes it really exciting!

We visited Graceland in Oct 2006 - all of my family thoroughly enjoyed it - from my 14yr old daughter to my 18 yr old son to my 70 yr old dad to my 67 yr old mam & to my husband & i 40 somthings. We stood in awe at Graceland as to what Elvis achieved in his short but extrodinary life.
What a man - what music - never to be forgotten!

I visited Graceland with three of my sons in 1999 and it was a dream come true, it was smaller than I had imagined but was packed full of everything Elvis.

I always dig going to Memphis and Graceland for my fix of Elvisness during January and August. I statred going there in 1978 long before his beloved home was opened to the public. When we did tour Graceland in the mid 80's and Aunt Delta was still living there you could smell bacon & eggs being cooked in the kitchen if you took a morning tour. Those were the days and I have a secret place at Graceland where I always leave Elvis a "gift". TCB Baby see you again next trip to Tennessee

My wife Tina and I visited Graceland last May. It was awesome, everything we expected and more. It was a vacation of a lifetime. We loved it, and enjoyed it so much that we want to go back again and visit soon. Graceland is so much more beautiful when you actually visit it in person! Our trip was an anniversary gift from our son Matthew and his wife Ernestina.

I hope all you young people can someday get to see Graceland! Its absolutely the most wonderful feeling you get when you walk on those grounds, or go in the house. You will have chills like never before!
Stay Loving the best singer EVER! ELVIS!
Lizzy
:
Nobody is like Elvis. He is the best performer who has ever lived. He is absolutely the best and he will be the best forever. I would be happy to see Graceland one time.
Adrian Everett
:
Graceland is more popular than the Whitehouse in DC and should stay that way.Where the Whitehouse shut down tours on Sept. 11 Graceland kept on rockin' and rollin' with the old showman saying of "The Show must go on !"

I stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel and liked it. It was very Elvis themed, for example the TV had continuous Elvis videos.
Tony
:
A good place to stay if you're visiting Graceland is Heartbreak Hotel. It's not really expensive - about $100 per night. There are Elvis-accented rooms and 4 Elvis-themed suites.
