Sightseeing
Check out the ducks! They come down at 11 and go back up at 5! It's a sight to see plus a great historic hotel. I recommend grabbing some scooters and heading to mud island river park afterwards!

So fun to see a giant representation of the MS River and getting to splash in it. If you brought your scooter, scoot on down to the giant Memphis sign (or walk also)!
