Bass Pro Shops

It is unusual when a retail business is considered a major tourist attractions until you see Bass Pro Shops. The 120,000 square-foot store was recently named the #1 outdoor retailer in America by Sporting Goods Business Magazine. This beautiful store will take you from the mountains to the oceans with their beautiful hand-painted murals, and a 65’ drive through tree at the entrance.

Bear, deer, sheep and other wildlife in natural and action settings are set amidst boulders on top of a 24,000 gallon fresh water aquarium. Massive rockwork soaring 28' to 30' high above the aquarium replicates Yosemite's Half Dome and allows visitors to walk under the waterfall as it cascades into the fresh water aquarium. When they say the average visit to Bass Pro is 4 hours they are not kidding. This is a sportsman’s dream come true and a place your children will want to come back to time & time again. Ladies this is great for you too. Check out the clothes and the fudge store. They are both top notch.
