If you’re looking to avoid rainy or chilly weather in Memphis, you might opt to stay home with a cup of hot chocolate and a movie or two—but that’s not your only option. After all, sometimes it can be fun to take advantage of the situation and brave the wet and misty weather.
Next time you find yourself at a loose end on a cold day, here are some fun things to do in Memphis that will turn your frown upside down:
