Graceland Plaza

Our excitement builds as we turn the car into the shopping mall known as Graceland Plaza. This complex center of activity sits on 18 acres.

Its our fourth trip to Graceland, but still it feels like our first.

Three restaurants add charm to the plaza: Rockabilly's Diner, a '50s cafe for burgers and hot dogs; The Chrome Grille, a '50s auto-themed diner that serves up delicious Barbecue, Memphis style; and third, The Shake, Split and Dip, an old fashion ice cream parlor.

Gift shops abound at Graceland Plaza. Coffee cups, old-fashioned napkin holders, Elvis phones, clocks, watches, miniature guitar replicas, books, t-shirts and videos, just to name a few of the items available.

The Ticket Office Pavilion is located in the middle of Graceland Plaza. Here you can purchase tickets for the Elvis Presley Automobile museum, Sincerely Elvis museum, both of his airplanes and a tour of Graceland Mansion and the grounds. We purchase the complete tour package, naturally.

With tickets in hand we board the shuttle that will take us on our way through the world famous wrought iron gates and up the tree lined path. The path that would take us to the door of Graceland Mansion.
