Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid

First of all, HUGE shout-out to the staff — everyone we encountered was super friendly and very helpful. This place is massive. I mean MASSIVE. And it’s loaded with all the Bass Pro things you could ever want — boats, ATVs, kayaks, Yeti gear, clothing… if you have an outdoor hobby, you’ll find something here. They have live fish, ducks, AND alligators, plus more taxidermied animals than I could count. The layout is very aesthetically pleasing — it’s just a fun place to walk around and explore. There is an actual hotel INSIDE the pyramid, and a restaurant at the very top. For $8 for adults / $5 for kids you can ride the glass elevator up to the observation deck — and the views are absolutely spectacular. You can literally see for miles — the Mississippi River, Memphis, AND Arkansas. They also have an indoor shooting range, plus shooting video games if you just want something fun and casual. There was even an area set up for Santa’s Village when we were there, which would be a cute stop with kids. Bathrooms were spacious and clean — always a plus. Overall — this is not your “typical” Bass Pro. It’s an experience. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Memphis.

A key place to visit in Memphis! The aquariums were top notch and clean. Very interesting fresh water life all around. $8 a person to go up to the lookout is a huge money maker for them. It’s insane to charge that much, but the view is so pretty, plenty of people paid it (including us!)
