  • We really enjoyed our visit here. Everyone was so friendly and informative. The grounds were well kept. The home, church, and chapel experiences were so neat. I came here about 30 years ago as a child and I obviously appreciated it more this time as an adult. To see where Elvis was born and where his family lived and where they came from was a really neat experience.
  • I didn’t make it to town in time for an official inside tour so I went after hours and I think it may have been better. It was so peaceful and beautiful. I’m glad no one was around cause I think I got some great pics. I was able to take my time and really take in the awe-Inspiring beauty of it all. I played a little Elvis on my phone as I walked around the grounds and it was perfection.
  • Awesome place. It was great to see where Elvis was born and lived. His dad Vernon built the little house by hand. There’s so many things inside which belonged to Elvis and the gift shop is full. I enjoyed the walk around the grounds. They are fixed so nice. As a huge Elvis fan, I truly enjoyed the experience.
  • It’s a must do for your bucket list! Just don’t plan to spend the entire day there. It’s a cute little place, easy to get too with a nice setting. We didn’t take the tours, but had a chance to peak into the church and the house. The tours would have been nice so that you can hear the stories. You don’t need to buy any passes to walk around the buildings or park. There is a visitor centre and a nice park area for you to stroll around and enjoy. If you are coming from out of town and plan to spend a couple of days, there are plenty of places downtown Tupelo with a lot of great restaurants near by to make it with your while.
  • It is a lovely place. The grounds are designed very nicely. The people who work there are doing their best. But while we were there they had a difficult time with the AV equipment in the chapel. A little TLC to the grounds and attractions is needed here.
