Their Christmas trees were still on display at the end of December-- bonus! We went to see their outstanding IMAX movie-- "Jerusalem". A must see and in 3-D!

The museum is very interesting. We have been there several times when family members visit the area. It has displays varying from dinosaurs to birds and many others. I'm looking forward to returning when the opportunity presents itself.

We managed to spend several hours here! When we went (on a Tuesday) the admission was free, so an even better reason to stop in. Great use of the facilities ... a lot to see.

I typically don't like places without a unifying theme, so a place that jumps from fossils to yellow fever then to civil rights seemed strange to me, but each exhibit is very strong in its own right. I still have no idea how this place came to be or how the exhibits were chosen, but it's fun and informative so I stopped questioning it. If you have the Memphis coupon book, there's a voucher for buy one get one free, which made this attraction a steal. It's a good place to spend a couple hours, maybe more if you have smaller children. There's also a reasonably priced cafe with an excellent soups, sandwiches, and desserts selection.

Take a day and discover the Pink Palace museum. It stretches through time from the dinosaurs to the beginning of Tennessee through Civil War, Yellow Fever, Civil Rights, Music, Medicine, Cotton Carnival, Elvis, .....Be sure to see the Earthquake section, the hand carved wooden Circus, the section on the Vietnam Memorial (it was made here in Memphis), the first self serve grocery store (Piggly Wiggly) and the famous shrunken head! Hours of history and entertainment!

I'm glad I found out that Tuesday afternoon are free but when we went we decided to pay for Festival of Trees-that was not worth the investment ($21 for 4 of us). You don't actual get to see a lot of the Mansion only the front entrance area. The actual museum part was neat and some interesting exhibits. Definitely a cheap way to spend an afternoon with a family but not the highlight of our vacation.

Alright, disregard some of the reviews. I feel like a lot of the people were complaining just to complain. Here is my take on the museum:First of all, when you pull up to the mansion, it definitely takes you aback. It's a huge mansion, and you can't wait to explore it... Unfortunately, that's one of the letdowns.When you walk into the entrance, you buy your ticket. My mother and I decided to get the enchanted forest, the planetarium, and the mansion (i think? if there was one?). We were told the planetarium would be at noon. Fine. We decided to explore the museum a bit, which was somewhat interesting. They had some cool fossils which were educational, and a few things that were interesting if you're interested in dinosaurs. What this had to do with the Piggly Wiggly, or the mansion, I don't know, but it was interesting none the less.When we finally got to the planetarium that was what was actually somewhat shocking. The planetarium was closed. We sat outside the closed planetarium for a good 5 minutes, until we finally asked for directions. When we finally got to where we were supposed to be, we were pulled into a room, and some old guy showed us a movie on a projector through his laptop on windows media player. It was not a planetarium at all, and he did not use any of the traditional equipment. After leaving the planetarium early (we spotted 3 other couples who left early as well) we decided to explore a little bit more. Unfortunately they ruined the mansion. The whole entire time we were wondering when we were going to be able to explore the mansion, when eventually we realized we were already in the mansion. There is nothing to see there. They pulled everything out of the mansion and you don't even know what room you're in until you read the plaque on the wall which tells you which room you're in... It's a sad waste of a historical mansion. It feels as if they took a bunch of random historical artifacts, threw it in a museum, and called it the Pink Palace. It seemed like a random palace to me.

Beautiful mansion converted into a natural history museum with items as diverse as skeletons of dinosaurs and humming birds. Gems and minerals. Even a shrunken head! Also a recreated Piggly Wiggly store.

We went to the pink palace thinking we would go through a museum and then tour the mansion only to discover the few rooms of the mansion we saw were not decorated other than a display of womens dresses. As for the $$ paid for the planetarium well the real one is closed for renovations so instead you are directed to the mansion theatre where they show a mini movie from a laptop which is projected on a screen. Do Not waste your money.

Unfortunately the planetarium was closed during our visit, but the museum and palace were a refreshingly interesting treat! My 10 year old loved the museum and reading all of the informational plaques about the exhibits. HUGE points for the way the individual pieces are explained. The Palace was small, but had a few interesting finds in it as well.
