From steam locomotives to freight trains and bullet trains, the rail industry has played a profound role in advancing and shaping society. Enjoy an intriguing peek into this world at Railroad & Trolley Museum.

Railroad & Trolley Museum is a worthwhile place to begin discovering Downtown Memphis. This rail transportation exhibition comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here.

15.2/10 Exceptional! (1,001 reviews)

Hotel was kind of run down, but they are renovating. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable & A/C was COLD. Room was a King Smoking but it was SO FAR away from everything! We don't gamble, promptly lost $15 bucks, so ate at the Burger Bar (Reuben, fries, chili-cheese bacon fries, and nachos). The Justin Hinsin Band in the lounge was good, drinks were $5 for beer and wine. No microwave in the room and no good TV channels. i was using up Caesar rewards visiting family, but if I was spending $ I'd pick Gold Strike.No coffee in room. Asked for it, got the machine and no coffee. Spent $ at Starbucks downstairs both days. No perks. They do not have housekeeping & you have to go down to the front desk to order towels. Only 2 towels for 2 adults with long hair. Resort fee for nothing as per usual in Tunica.
