Mid South Painters

Children and parents alike will delight in My Big Backyard Children's Garden located in the Memphis Botanic Garden. The huge playground incorporates its structure into nature, stringing up rope bridges between trees and sculpting plants into shapes children can play on. Cool off during the summer months with the new water features, such as the artificial thunderstorm. This attraction has all of the necessary components for some fun in the sun.

Learn about the cultural and natural history of the Mid-South at the Pink Palace Museum. See the dinosaur exhibit or look at the artifacts from Native Americans and Spanish explorers. Explore the outer limits at the planetarium or watch the newest documentary on the IMAX screen. The museum is jam-packed with attractions that you and the kids won't want to miss.
