10 Best Things To Do In Tennessee 2026 | Top10Adventures®

Welcome to Tennessee

Tennessee is a Southern state bounded on the east by ranges of the Appalachian Mountains and the west by the Mississippi River. Tennessee stood with the Confederate States in the Civil War and has many historic landmarks like the Shiloh Battlefield National Military Park. High mountains, many rivers and lakes, and more caves than any other state make Tennessee an outdoor playground. Small country and mountain town main streets bring Southern history and hospitality to life. Nashville, the capital and largest city, is the home of country music and the legendary Grand Ole Opry. Memphis is where the blues were born on Beale Street and Elvis Presley’s Graceland Mansion is a top attraction.

The ride was ok. Not really much to see. The singer they hired was completely off key, didn't know the words to most the songs she sang so it was kind of off putting.

National Medal of Honor Heritage Museum Admission Ticket in Chattanooga

MichelleV686, Jul 2026

Heroes

we really enjoyed the museum. there was a small bookstore at the entry, then you jump on an elevator to the museum exhibits. There are real medals, stories, and several well-done short movies. I know the scavenger hunts were for upper elementary kids, but the questions helped me focus on what was important to really note as we walked through the place. The guide at the first room was helpful, knowledgeable, and kind.

It was a good experience, but the glaring sun made it hard to really enjoy. It gave an overview of the city. The fact that it wasn't covered is an issue.

Great tour, awesome flexibility.

This is a great tour! We loved the flexibility it gave us to hop on and hop off whenever we wanted. We experienced two different guides, and they were both entertaining and friendly. The tour gave us a great overview of the city, it's history, and the biggest landmarks. It was well worth the money. I would do it again.

Memphis Mojo Bus Tour

Great Tour! Informative & Entertaining

I highly recommend Backbeat's MOJO Tour. It focuses on the music history of Memphis and does so with a tour guide that is an actual musician performing on the bus! When we are driving by and learning about Sun Records, he plays Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. (And he's good!) When we are going by Stax Studios, he plays Ottis Redding. And of course Elvis when we learn about Graceland. The tour is both entertaining and informative and the small bus is just the right fit. Have fun on the MOJO Tour!

Expensive

The Wild Stallion was better but weird the tickets purchased at one place and used at another. I thought really expensive for three rides and that was the "Best Deal".
