Memphis, Tennessee - Crystal Shrine Grotto

Took the whole family to the "Jesus Cave" this week and really enjoyed it. Even if you're not religious, the cave and surrounding landscaping is a sight to behold. In addition to the cave and its frescoes/statuary there is also a pond, meditation garden, and more. The artwork inside the cave is a combination of the original works done in the '30s and modern sculpture of varying mediums. Very impressive and a must-see attraction if you're ever in Memphis.
