Things to Do in Tunica

With nine casino resorts, the Tunica area is now the third-largest casino gambling region in the United States, after Las Vegas and Atlantic City. There are plenty of attractions, both in the casino resorts and in the surrounding area:

Tunica Museum: Home of the “Best history lectures in town,” this museum traces Tunica’s Native American origins to the Civil War through to today. The Museum also runs the Tate Log House in downtown Tunica. It is the oldest structure in the county and demonstrates the early living conditions in the area.

Gateway to the Blues Museum: The history of blues music comes to life in all its haunted glory. Exhibits include a recording studio where you’ll learn the blues basics with a chance to record your very own song. Learn how instruments and vocal styles evolved, giving Mississippi Delta blues its unmistakable sound.  

Cycle the Great River Road Trail: The gentle rolling farmlands of the delta are a cyclist’s dream. You have your choice of trails, depending on your schedule and experience. The 35-mile Great River Road Scenic Byway travels from the Tunica county line to Walls, MS. You’ll see cultural and historic landmarks that give the trail its nickname, “Blues Alley”.
