Graceland

Elvis Presley's Memphis, Tennessee, home is the second-most visited house in the United States (after the White House), but you don't have to be a groupie to get all shook up by the King's castle.

To Do: Take the house tour—even if your kids haven't heard of Elvis, they'll get a kick out of the flashy décor and flamboyant costumes. Round out your musical adventure with a trip to Memphis's Rock 'n' Soul Museum.

To See:: Elvis's famed Pink Cadillac in the Car Museum, his collection of gold records and career memorabilia in the Trophy Room and his two custom jets are favorite sights on the grounds tour.

To Eat:: Try the King's favorite—peanut butter and banana sandwiches—or get some Southern flavor with a taste of Memphis barbecue.

To Stay:: If you want to really immerse yourself in Rock 'n' Roll, you can stay at—where else?—the Heartbreak Hotel.
