Educate all members of your family about fire safety and how to survive a fire at the Fire Museum of Memphis. Besides learning these techniques, you can also explore the turn-of-the-century firehouse and learn about the history of the Memphis fire department. Climb on a fire truck, slide down the fire pole and try on firefighter gear.
Catch a local band playing at the Hi-Tone Cafe. Listen to rock and indie at one of the tables, or get up and get down on the dance floor. Hungry? This little nightlife venue serves up a mean pizza in addition to some great brews. Play some pool or even ping pong in between band sets.
Take in the beauty of Memphis at Overton Park. Home to the zoo, Brooks Art Museum, an amphitheater, a golf course and the Memphis College of the Arts, this sprawling park has outdoor and indoor activities for the entire family. Walk along the trails and absorb nature, play a game of soccer or let the little ones run wild at the playground.
