Shannon Little: Get a tour. The studios are awesome, and they have great records displayed around the studio.

Kerry Crawford: Some of the best music on earth came out of Memphis' Ardent Studios. If you can't make it inside, take a listen to Big Star and pretend.
Sam Davis: The museum may look underwhelming from the outside, but the tour was incredibly interactive and informative. Don't let the bigger museums in Memphis overshadow this gem.
Raquel: Truly informative, eye opening tour. I've lived here 6 yrs and never knew about it! I will be taking every visitor from now on. Short enough to fit plenty more activities into your day and only $10!
~Roni~: Not your average fancy museum but it is very rich in history. Contrary to the website, it is open year-round. Best time to visit is February through March when they offer new exhibits & artifacts.
