The warm, rustic decor will make you feel like you’re at a hunting lodge in the middle of the woods, while being only steps away from the heart of the city.

Journey 300 feet in the air to take in the sights of Memphis. This 28-story elevator features floor to ceiling glass on all four sides and leads guests to a glass observation deck at the top.

Fishbowl Bowling
Jump out to sea for an underwater-themed bowling adventure at the Fishbowl bowling experience. Featuring 13 full lanes, you will be surrounded by underwater sea critters as you test your skill at bowling. It’s a fun place for the entire family.
