I think St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is a must to see, and it is free.

The Danny Thomas Pavilion starts with Danny's prayer to St. Jude,"help me find my way in life, and I will build you a shrine".and follows his commitment to his promise, and to his belief that "no child should die in the dawn of life" . It is an incredible story, not only of Danny's vision and dream, but to how this research center has changed the survival rates of childhood cancers. You will never forget it. St. Jude is our crown jewel. Bring Kleenex.

I have had a time with the links on trying to post this!

For info just go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - About Us On the left is where you can find information on the pavilion and tours.

If you have kids and you or your family is from Memphis (metro-area) you could show them where you lived in the past. However, if you lived in let's say....Raleigh, you don't want this to be a night-time activity.
