Yes. If you've ever dreamed of exploring inside the lavish home of a musical icon, then it doesn't get better than Graceland. Prebooking your ticket is the best way to go, but for the ultimate Elvis Presley experience, combine a tour of Memphis music sites such as Sun Studio and Beale Street with round-trip transport to Graceland.

Per one customer who booked the Elvis Presley's Childhood Home Sightseeing Daytrip from Memphis, "We visited Graceland last year and decided to come back again this year since there was still so much to see and do. We were told that this tour was a must-do, and they were right. Bus was very comfortable, watching a great documentary on the way over, and several stops at photo op locations! Loved the experience and highly recommend.”

Since summers can get so hot around the Memphis area, most visitors aim for a Graceland visit during April and May or October and November. That being said, if you’re happy with 40–55ºF (4–12ºC) temperatures, November–February can be a great time to avoid the crowds—plus you might catch Graceland decked out for the holidays.

Most visitors will take about 60 to 90 minutes to tour the Graceland mansion, depending on their interest level. If you’re also interested in the add-ons—like the on-site car museum, Elvis Presley’s jet collection, or the gift shop—you can expect your Graceland experience to last anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 hours.

Technically, yes, you can walk around certain areas of Graceland’s grounds for free—the meditation garden (with the graves of Elvis and his family) is regularly open at certain times of day, usually in the morning. You can also access the nearby Graceland Plaza and Crossing. To get inside the mansion proper, however, you’ll have to buy a ticket.

Most visitors are satisfied with a few hours to explore the Graceland mansion, the car museum, and the grounds (which include the Presley family graves). That being said, die-hard Elvis fans may want to stay the night at the on-site Guest House at Graceland, eat at Elvis Presley’s Memphis, and explore Elvis Presley’s Memphis Entertainment Complex.

Many visitors are most excited to tour Elvis Presley’s former home, the Graceland mansion, and its grounds—which include the meditation garden and the Presley family graves. If you’re a serious Elvis fan, you’ll also want to tour the on-site car museum, get a look at Elvis’ jets, and explore the art and entertainment exhibits at Elvis Presley’s Memphis Entertainment Complex.
