Spend a romantic overnight at the offbeat Talbot Heirs Guesthouse. This quirky hotel is small and privately owned, with individualized, spacious suites and luxurious accommodations. Located near Beale Street, with many restaurants, theaters and entertainment venues within walking distance, Talbot Heirs offers guests a unique stay in rooms that are as original, authentic and spirited as Memphis itself.

Stretch your legs at the Lichterman Nature Center. With over 65 acres of land filled with lakes, meadows and forests, the Lichterman Nature Center is a natural oasis in the urban landscape. The indoor and outdoor facilities feature wildlife, microscopic discoveries, a two-story forest boardwalk and an underwater viewing area.

Walk along the scenic Riverwalk or take a ride on the Monorail at Mud Island River Park, home to plenty of attractions and Memphis's own Adventure Center-the best place to get out and be active within the city. Rent a bike to explore the trails and surrounding area, or take a canoe or kayak out on the river. Learn about the history of the Lower Mississippi Valley at Mud Island's Mississippi River Museum.
