Memphis, Tennessee Travel Guide
Where to stay, how to get around, what to eat, and everything else you need to plan your trip.
City Overview
Memphis is a mid-sized city of about 650,000 people that punches way above its weight in culture and character. This is the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, home of the blues, and the city where barbecue reached its peak form. The energy here is laid-back but passionate, with locals who take their music, food, and sports seriously.
Sports-wise, Memphis has serious basketball DNA thanks to the Memphis Grizzlies and the University of Memphis Tigers program. The city regularly hosts major youth basketball tournaments, and facilities like Landers Center in nearby Southaven draw teams from across the region. Baseball also has deep roots here—this is where Elvis got discovered, but it's also where countless minor league dreams played out at AutoZone Park.
The city sits right on the Mississippi River, giving it a strategic location that made it a logistics hub. FedEx's global headquarters is here, which means the airport and transportation infrastructure work better than you might expect. For tournament families, Memphis offers that sweet spot of big-city amenities without the headaches of massive metros like Atlanta or Dallas.
Getting Around
Memphis International Airport (MEM) is about 10 miles southeast of downtown and offers direct flights to most major cities. Thanks to FedEx's massive operation here, the airport is well-maintained and efficient. Figure 15-20 minutes to downtown, 20-30 minutes to East Memphis hotels, and 35-45 minutes to Southaven sports complexes during normal traffic.
Uber and Lyft work fine, but you'll want a rental car for tournament weekends. Most sports complexes are spread out, and having your own wheels makes life much easier for multiple games or practices. The city sits at the intersection of I-40 (east-west) and I-55 (north-south), with I-240 forming a loop around the city. I-269 is the newer outer loop that connects to many suburban sports facilities.
Public transit exists but isn't practical for sports families. The MATA bus system serves basic routes, but with gear bags and tournament schedules, you're better off driving. Traffic isn't terrible compared to bigger cities, but give yourself extra time during rush hours (7-9 AM, 4:30-6:30 PM) and when events let out at FedExForum downtown.
Where to Stay
East Memphis is your best bet for most sports tournaments. This area along Poplar Avenue and near I-240 puts you close to many suburban sports complexes while offering plenty of hotel options, restaurants, and shopping. It's also relatively safe and family-friendly, with easy highway access to venues in Southaven, Germantown, and Bartlett.
If your tournament is in Southaven, Mississippi (technically just across the state line but part of metro Memphis), consider staying there directly. The Landers Center area has several hotels and puts you close to major youth tournament action. Downtown Memphis works if your venue is at FedExForum or AutoZone Park, plus kids love being able to walk to Beale Street after games.
Avoid North Memphis unless you have a specific reason to be there—it's not the safest area and lacks good hotel options. Germantown and Collierville are upscale suburbs with nice facilities if your tournament is in those areas, though hotel selection is more limited. Bartlett to the northeast has grown into a solid option for sports families, with newer hotels and good access to multiple sports complexes.
Sports & Recreation
Landers Center in Southaven is the crown jewel for youth basketball tournaments, with multiple courts and excellent facilities. FedExForum downtown hosts the Grizzlies and major tournaments, while the University of Memphis facilities serve college and high-level youth events. AutoZone Park is the gorgeous downtown baseball stadium that hosts everything from Redbirds games to youth tournaments.
The Mike Rose Soccer Complex is one of the region's top soccer destinations, hosting major tournaments year-round. Shelby Farms Park offers massive outdoor space with multiple baseball and softball diamonds, plus trails for team runs. Germantown Athletic Club and various suburban recreation centers provide additional tournament venues, especially for basketball and volleyball.
Baseball is huge here, partly due to the region's mild climate allowing for longer seasons. The city regularly hosts USSSA, Perfect Game, and other major youth baseball tournaments. Basketball dominates the winter months, with Memphis being a major stop on the AAU circuit. Soccer has grown significantly, and the Mike Rose complex draws teams from across the Southeast. Wrestling and volleyball also have strong tournament scenes, often using high school gyms and the convention center spaces.
Things to Do
Beale Street is the obvious tourist draw, and for good reason—live music spills out of every door, and it's safe during the day for families. Graceland is the big-ticket attraction that kids either love or tolerate, but it's worth the visit if you've never been. Sun Studio offers quick but fascinating tours of where rock 'n' roll was born, and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel is powerful and important.
Shelby Farms Park is massive—bigger than Central Park—and perfect for team bonding activities. Rent bikes, hit the trails, or just let kids burn energy at the playgrounds. The Memphis Zoo is solid for younger kids, and Mud Island offers a unique Mississippi River experience with a scale model of the entire river system.
For rainy days or hot summers, Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid is an experience—it's inside the old Memphis Pyramid and includes an observation deck, aquarium, and restaurant. TopGolf Memphis works great for team outings, and the Memphis Cook Convention Center often has interesting events. If you have extra time, Tunica Casinos are 30 minutes south for adults, while families might prefer the Agricenter International which hosts various festivals and events.
Food & Drink
Memphis barbecue is serious business, and you can't leave without trying it. Central BBQ offers the most consistent quality across multiple locations, while Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken started here and still does it best. The Rendezvous downtown is famous for its dry ribs, though locals are split on whether it's tourist food or the real deal.
For team meals, Corky's BBQ handles large groups well and ships nationwide, so it's legit. Huey's is the local burger institution with multiple locations—their toothpick ceiling tradition is weird but fun for kids. Germantown Commissary serves excellent barbecue in a more upscale setting if you need somewhere nice for a team dinner.
Quick eats between games: Gibson's Donuts has been a local favorite since 1967, and Arcade Restaurant is Memphis's oldest café, featured in multiple movies. All the major chains are well-represented, especially in East Memphis and the suburbs. For something uniquely Memphis, try a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich—Elvis's favorite—at almost any diner. Overton Square and Cooper-Young neighborhoods offer more upscale dining if parents want a nice night out.
Shopping & Entertainment
Wolfchase Galleria in East Memphis is the main shopping mall, with all the usual suspects plus a food court that works for team meals. Tanger Outlets in Southaven offers decent deals and is convenient if you're staying near Landers Center. Saddle Creek in Germantown is an upscale outdoor shopping center with good restaurants.
For entertainment, Dave & Buster's at Wolfchase is reliable for team bonding, while TopGolf Memphis offers a unique experience that works for all skill levels. Malco Theatres has several locations for catching movies between games. Main Event in Cordova combines bowling, laser tag, and arcade games under one roof.
Downtown's South Main Arts District has unique shops and galleries, though it's more interesting for adults than kids. Beale Street has plenty of souvenir shops, but prices are tourist-level. For team dinners with entertainment, Silky O'Sullivan's on Beale Street has live music and a fun atmosphere, while BB King's Blues Club offers dinner and shows. The Peabody Hotel duck march at 11 AM and 5 PM is free entertainment that kids find amusing.
Weather & Packing
Memphis weather is humid subtropical, which means hot, sticky summers and mild winters with occasional surprises. Summer tournaments (June-August) mean temperatures in the 90s with high humidity—pack moisture-wicking gear, extra water bottles, and backup uniforms because kids will be drenched in sweat. Spring and fall (March-May, September-November) are ideal for outdoor sports, with temps in the 60s-80s, but pack layers because mornings can be cool.
Winter sports (December-February) rarely deal with snow, but ice storms can happen and shut down the city. Temperatures usually stay in the 40s-50s during the day, dropping to 30s at night. Rain is common year-round, so pack good rain gear and have indoor backup plans. Spring brings severe weather season—tornados are rare in the metro area, but thunderstorms can be intense and delay games.
Peak tournament season runs March through November, with July being the busiest and most brutal heat-wise. Air conditioning is everywhere and aggressive, so bring sweatshirts for over-cooled gyms even in summer. Most youth sports complexes have good climate control, but some older high school gyms can be stuffy. Outdoor facilities like Mike Rose Soccer Complex have limited shade, so sun protection is essential during summer tournaments.
Local Tips
Parking downtown near FedExForum and Beale Street gets expensive ($15-25) during events, but there are cheaper lots a few blocks away if you don't mind walking. Most suburban venues have free parking, but arrive early for big tournaments as lots fill up fast. Traffic on I-240 can crawl during rush hour, and the I-40 bridge over the Mississippi occasionally has issues that back up traffic for miles.
Memphis has a tipping culture—expect to tip 18-20% at restaurants, and bartenders on Beale Street appreciate $1-2 per drink. Most hotels include free breakfast, but quality varies widely. Kroger and Walmart are everywhere for snacks and tournament supplies. Gas is usually cheaper than national averages, and Tennessee has no state income tax, though sales tax is high at around 9.25%.
Safety-wise, stick to East Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, and downtown tourist areas. North Memphis and some parts of South Memphis require more caution. The ParkWhiz app helps find parking downtown, while GasBuddy locates cheap gas. Many restaurants close early on Sundays, and some local favorites are closed Mondays. If you're driving to Southaven for tournaments, remember you're crossing into Mississippi, but everything feels like the same metro area.
