Go on a water recreation adventure with Ghost River Canoe and Kayak Rentals. Follow the well-marked canoe trail in the Wolf River. This 8.5-mile trail includes many turns, beautiful cypress, wildlife sightings, a trip through Spirit Lake and the mystic Ghost Section. Located about half an hour outside of Memphis, this part of the river is great for more experienced paddlers but not recommended for beginners.
Experience a challenging and diverse repetoire of theatrical work that speaks to the intelligence, the soul, and the imagination of the Memphis community. This venue has been home to such performances as Matilada the Musical, Little Women: the Broadway Musical, Head over Heels: a new musical, Madagascar: a musical adventure, special family performances like The Ant and The Grasshopper, and much more for your entertainment and enjoyment. They have performance time set aside for other groups such as Ballet Memphis, The Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Opera Memphis, the Indie Memphis Film Festival and others, creating a fantastic new synergy for performing arts in the Midtown area of Memphis.
Roll on down the rivers with Memphis Riverboats. Take in the sights as you sail down the Mississippi River on a Dinner Cruise. Dance the night away under the stars as a live band plays your favorite song and the glowing city of Memphis acts as your background. Private charters are also available for special occasions.
For a touch of art integrated into the beauty of nature, visit the Crystal Shrine Grotto. This man-made cave is located inside Memorial Park Cemetery and features the work of Mexican folk artist Dionicio Rodriquez. Ten scenes depict the life of Jesus Christ, but even non-Christians will appreciate the beautiful art and the peaceful ambiance of this grotto.
