Summer brings families together and Memphis focus on family reunions |
||
We’ve got some great attractions that all ages will enjoy -- attractions such as the new Northwest Passage at the Memphis Zoo that features animals of the great Northwest. Our zoo is one of only four in the U.S. that has giant Pandas from China. Children love the Fire Museum where even the smallest toddler can climb onto a full-sized fire engine and slide down a fire pole. |
Our Pink Palace Museum with its I-Max Theatre is a local family favorite and everybody enjoys a ride on a Mississippi paddle-wheeler. Of course, Memphis is a music city and we have a choice of museums reflecting our music heritage (what other city can boast Graceland?) as well as our African-American heritage. Memphis truly has something for all ages! Mimmye or Myna can help you with your family reunion plans so that you can enjoy a stress-free reunion like the rest of the family! |

meet your tour guide: anna lee burkle |

Anna Lee Burkle is one of our most-requested guides. She is a descendant of the Burkle Family who lived at the Burkle Estate (now Slavehaven) and started the famous Burkle’s Bakery that served Memphis familes for many years. She is passionate about St. Jude Hospital and shared an interesting story with us. Early this year a woman on her tour said that she has sponsored a child at St. Jude for many months and never heard what had happened to the child – not even whether she had lived or not. When Anna Lee heard the child’s name, she told her the happy news – not only had the child lived, but she now works for St. Jude and had just greeted the group as they arrived on the bus. Sponsor and patient met each other for the first time and had a happy reunion! |
