The Pink Palace is a great overview of the Mid-South's natural and cultural history. Be sure to check out the miniature circus and the model Piggly Wiggly on the second floor.

Check out all the various exhibits including the Dino's, the Piggly Wiggly replica & the Clyde Parke Circus. This museum contains a lot of cultural and historical value for Memphis & the Mid-South.

The planetarium has wonderful shows and the pink palace has an amazing membership program that connects to other local museums in Memphis.

They are in the process of remodeling sections at a time. Currently, they are working on the planetarium until February. Well ask me again how I feel when it's February.

Take time to read the descriptions about the merchandise on show and follow along the laid path of the museum because it goes in order.

The Dynamic Earth exhibit is totally cool: shows a history of quakes & volcanic eruptions in time-lapse, and if an earthquake happens anywhere while you're there, an alarm sounds while it's plotted.
