From ancient artifacts to solar system strolls, here’s how to explore the University of Memphis through your little one’s eyes.

It’s never too early to start visiting colleges with your kids. Just ask my toddler, whose favorite place to explore in the city is the University of Memphis campus. From a pint-size perspective, it’s a wonderland of wide walking paths where you’re sure to encounter squirrels and tigers (the safe, sculpture kind!). Even if you’re not quite ready for the coursework, there’s also plenty to learn along the way.

Since its launch in 2020, WYXR 91.7 FM has become Memphis’ heartbeat, offering an eclectic mix of music, news, and community-driven programming. Whether you're tuning in for the soul of blues, the pulse of hip-hop, or the smooth grooves of jazz, WYXR plays it all, serving as a true reflection of the city’s diverse musical landscape.

Strawberry season is on at Jones Orchard, but don’t wait — the fields are only open for picking through the end of May!

When you arrive, head to the register to pick your own strawberries. You'll decide the size of bucket you want before heading over to the field to fill as you desire.
