A short walk, or ride via a rented scooter or paddle boat, will lead you to Mud Island. Walk and splash through a scale replica of the Lower Mississippi River. Check out the Mississippi River Museum while you are there and grab a bite to eat at one of the Island’s cafes. If you time your visit right, you’ll even be able to see a concert while you are there!

You can tour his mansion and the nearby museum to learn about the personal side of Elvis’s life. You can even tour his airplanes during your visit. For a truly romantic experience, plan your wedding or renew your vows at Graceland’s Chapel in the Woods.
