Graceland Mansion

It was a great experience to immerse in the home that The King himself chose and lived in. I like how you get to walk into y he house and see the rooms, except the upstairs bedrooms. I like the indoor and outdoor space they had.Compared tot eh homes that are available today, it's not as grand. But considering when this home was built and the value of money before, this was luxurious!

We enjoyed visiting the mansion. Would return if I had the opportunity. We did take the VIP tour and wish we had a bit more time it felt rushed as the tour begins at 1:45pm and the house closes at 6:00pm. Feedback to the Graceland team is considering allowing more time in the UVIP tour.

This house has been wonderfully preserved You cannot go upstairs but there is lots of memorabilia, information and a general feeling of love and appreciation for the King!

Talk about a walkthrough autobiography!! This is a whole day affair as we spent a good 7+ hours at the park PLUS the mansion. There is SOOO much information. Signed the wall and took lots of pictures. Paid my respects and soaked everything in. The mansion tour is a little rushed depending on where you are in the group or how many pictures you like to take

Graceland has always been on my list of places to visit in the USA. It's like a true piece of Americana - Mt. Rushmore, Lincoln Monument, see Old Faithful, visit Elvis' home in Memphis.... Finally, I've done it! It was awesome to visit. I came on a cold day in early January and there were no lines mid-day and it was a very relaxed and uncrowded visit. I'm sure when there are large groups in summer it can be a huge pain - but my experience, while cold, was fun. All the staff are wonderful - it's a pretty relaxed tour where you are self-guided through the rooms and you are offered an I-Pad and headphones to take with you but don't need them since it's the same info on the plaques in each room. I saw the main sitting room, dining room, momma Prestley's room, the living room, downstairs tv and bar area, the pool room, and the carport and office as well as the raquetball court and a trophy room as well as the graves of Elvis and his parents and now, Lisa Marie and her son. Shuttles run pretty regularly between the Graceland visitor center and the mansion and you can't just walk up or go in on your own - you'll need to enter through the main entrance and visitor center. I like how it is organized and well-run. The visit to the home took me about 40 minutes self-guided with no crowds.

This was a bucket list item that has now been checked off! Graceland was an amazing experience. We had no idea what to expect. The mansion is just like it looked back in the 70's. Although it was much smaller than I had expected. Across the street are the museums which are separated. Cars, icons, history, his plane, etc. The memorial garden where the family is laid to rest is nice and reverent.Like most attractions, Graceland is very commercialized. Review your tour options carefully and pick the best one for you. There are tickets for all of the mini-museums, airplanes and Graceland. Each mini-museum dumps you out into a gift shop. The museum complex does have a couple of restaurants and an ice cream/candy shop.We went after school had started so we had no problems with parking or lines!

We took the 4 hour tour here as we are big Elvis fans. It was highlight of our trip. Tour guide was very good and knowledgeable; very friendly and open to answering questions. The best part of the tour was the grave sight as we were able to really feel the presence of Elvis there. Sad that he was buried next to his still-born brother, parents, wife and daughter. This tour was very memorable and so glad we were there. Highly recommend!

I'm a fan of Elvis Presley and his music!I had a chance to visit Graceland few years ago.It was like stepping along his footsteps while I was touring around the mansion and exploring the garden.Walking thru that custom built musical designed the custom gates felt like he is standing waiting for guests to come in !!It was said that the musical notes were indoired by the sheet music from Jailhouse Rock.The tour was only open at the lower level of Graceland Mansion. The second floor level was off limits and closed to the public viewing as respect to his family to avoid the scene of Elvis' demise.An area of the mansion exhibits his gold record's plaques,jeweled jumpsuits he wore during concerts,the classic cars he drove snd collected.The experience I felt in visiting his home was very overwhelming that just regretting I missed the chance to attend his concerts!!

There is something so nostalgic about Graceland Mansion. It is walking into a piece of history that is so well preserved.Hubby and I arrived at the Mansion via a VIP shuttle for our VIP tour. We were welcomed in at the VIP lounge area where a short movie clip was shown. The front of the Mansion was crowded, but the crowds dissipated across the mansion grounds. The Mansion was beautifully decorated for Christmas. There were so much to see in addition to the house. Many know of the Jungle Room, but I was impressed by the kitchen... it's large size and state of the art appliances for that era.During the self-guided tour, we heard complaints that the house was "small" and was not a mansion. These individuals are seeing the Mansion from their modern eyes and lost fact that this beautiful house was a mansion in the late 50s/early 60s timeframe.A wonderful visit for any Elvis fan!

Great Experience! Somewhat haphazardly staffed during off season, overall, expensive but worth the ticket. So many accomplishments from Elvis. A whole day (6-8 hours) is needed to see it all. Allocate time and bring enough water. Food diner is available but perhaps also bring snacks in your car as you park. Go early to get a closer parking space.A lot to see and remember from Elvis and his short life. If in Memphis Tenn, gotta stop to look if you are an Elvis fan. New exhibits under development as well. Get the tour where you go inside the Graceland mansion, that is better than not going inside the house.
