    Easy Process

    I have used Viator twice since arriving in Memphis. This time visiting the Woodruff Mansion was amazing. It was an easy purchase and the museum had me already on their list of participants. It just really made the experience worth the money.

    An architectural gem on Millionaire's Row

    Visit the Woodruff-Fontaine House at 680 Adams Avenue in Memphis' Victorian Village Historic District. See how Memphis' early millionaires lived. It was home to two prominent Memphis families -- Amos Woodruff, a successful carriage maker who built the house for his family in 1871, and Nolan Fontaine, an established businessman who purchased the house from the Woodruffs in 1883. His family lived here until 1929. Later, it became the Memphis College of Arts. In 1962, after standing empty for many years, the house was acquired and restored by the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities. The 19th century French Victorian mansion, filled with antique furnishings, is open to the public for tours from noon to 4 Wednesday through Sunday. In 1971, the Woodruff-Fontaine House and the adjacent James Lee House were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

    So Much To Do, So Much To See

    This was a great way to get to know Memphis. Our tourguide, Shannon, and bussruver, Ms. Princess, were an amazing combo. The Rock 'n' Sould Museum and Riverboats are must sees. Totally satisfied and would go on another tour with the family. There is SO much to do in Memphis.

    Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Memphis.

    How much does Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Memphis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Memphis is not rushed.

    Is Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Memphis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Memphis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Memphis and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Woodruff-Fontaine House Museum Admission Ticket in Memphis start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Memphis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Memphis?

    +

    Memphis is music and food: Graceland with VIP access tiers, Sun Studio and Stax, Beale Street blues crawls, National Civil Rights Museum visits and barbecue tours through the pits. Graceland ticket tiers are confusing, so we weight clear inclusions. On Outty we rank every Memphis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Memphis Mojo Bus Tour, Taste of Downtown Memphis Food Tour, Memphis Signature Guided Brewery Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Memphis?

    +

    March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Memphis?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
