This is truly one of the best places to visit. Especially if you're an outdoors person. I'm not sure if you ventured off into the store much but it has its own series of museums as well. There is a really good restuarant there as well as several snack bars. It's really difficult to take in the shear magnitude of this place until you go there in person.
I'm an outdoors person, but I have no desire to see a bunch of dead animals. I hate BPS because everywhere you look, there's a dead animal. So just because you enjoy being outdoors in nature doesn't necessarily mean you'll like places like this.
EnglishatHeart the aquarium is full of live animals. The first part he went to is the museum, which is mostly taxidermy. I feel like Jacob should have explained that. You can go through just the aquarium for 30$, but for both the museum and the aquarium it is 40$, and the aquarium is pretty much just live animals everywhere.
As someone who works in a non-profit museum, I look at something like this and wish we had limitless money from an international chain of sporting goods stores! Holy moly! That's amazing!
WOW has a lot to offer, I'm glad your remarks at the end were mostly encouraging. Your remarks throughout came off as somewhat sarcastic and negative. This is not a negative comment- you have a lot of subscribers and your channel is doing well. I know you can't capture everything in your experience but some of the major draws were missed here, in my opinion. The tunnel of glass, and absolutely the opportunity to touch and feed the sting rays. There are more, but good video and I did enjoy it.
I love wildlife and I love Bass Pro shops. I don't hunt, but I have been camping and fishing. The store near me is small, but it has a big tank of fish you can watch for free.
Jacob I think a lot of people are confused. The first section you went through is the museum, which is mostly taxidermy. It’s 15$ just for the museum. You covered MOSTLY the museum. The second half you went to was the aquarium, which is all live animals and is 30$ to go to. For both it is 40$, i think people now think the whole thing is just taxidermy and it’s not. :/
Fun place, to the people saying $40 is to much not really if you consider the up keep of all the aquariums and such. Plus some of that money goes to help conservation.
Hey jacob, how's it going bro. thank you for the Branson run. I haven't been there in 20 years. a lot has changed. I gotta go back. you peaked myself interest. you rock bro. keep up the cool vids, as long as momma let's u man. peace.
Aww I want to go! I love my bass pro shops near me, they have a gorgeous freshwater aquarium. BTW alligator gar can get much bigger than that guy. Up to 10 ft long
I’ve been here before and it’s AMAZING I loved it!!!! The aquarium is by far the most amazing part, i liked it better than the museum but the museum is still awesome! Usually you go through the aquarium first and then the museum so i was confused why you went through the museum first? 40$ is for the aquarium and the museum, you literally spend hours upon hours there so it’s definitely worth it. It’s only 30$ for just the aquarium, and 15$ for the museum but that’s comparable to lots of other aquariums. Not only that but all of the proceeds from the WOW go towards animal conservation, so Morris doesn’t make a dime off of it. He’s really passionate about conservation. I’ve got the pleasure of meeting his wife before as I am an artist and was a part of the veteran portrait paintings with OTC. She was super sweet and awesome!
It's actually engineered to go museum then aquarium! I work there.its totally fine to go the other way too. Also sorry to burst your bubble. But Johnny makes a LOT of money on WOW. It's a not for profit. Not a non profit. Which means he makes money on it.
Johnny is a cool guy he actually found the very neglected boat of Ernest Hemingway I believe in Cuba and restored it and it is put on display ay a Bass Pro Shop in IslaMaralda Key in Florida they have stairs built so people can actually walk on board and thru the cabin of the historical Pilar fishing boat that Hemingway spent so much time on You are correct about the pretty. Albino. Deer you pointed out in reality most Albino animals in the wild have a much shorter lifespan than the others. Because of their Camoflage I couldn't imagine what the Bass Pro Shops spend. Each year on their stores as each one is like a mueseum itself its cool you did the video on this location ive never seen that Aquarium setup where you draw the fish like you did. That is a very neat peice of technology
Think you so much I loved all of I wish id been there you really need to slow down so we can look at everything you go to fast I really hate missing anything I love everything
@1:41 if ya pause and read the plaque the avalon (the zane grey boat) is from my country new zealand :) even though was back in the 1920s its still one of our famous claim to fames lol woohoo
As someone who has been here many times your review and the sarcastic comments cut the value short. Yes there is a lot of taxidermy, but the aquarium is out of this world. You apparently didn't take the time to read. A) Bass Pro started in a liquor store and fishing lures etc B) Bass Pro and Johnny Morris are big supporter and sponsors of Nascar And other motor sports. The museum shows different cars they have sponsored. C) the deer head mountings are atypical... Meaning their are deformities that could have been destroyed D) The aquarium employs so many real biologist and zoologist.. the care of the live animals and fish is top notch... If you rush through both portions plan on 2 hours... Taking your time plan on all day. If you have walking challenges there are scooters you can rent
I was wondering when you were getting around to visiting this place. It's odd to know you were at a place I drive by every day. Did you get a chance to check out Fantastic Caverns?
No lie there are so many unique Bass pro shops I never shop there but when I travel I do stop at the store it’s hard to tell what they might have inside
I remember going to Bass Pro nine years ago and seeing the Wonders of Wildlife being closed for construction. I'd been through there in the years prior when they were a smaller scale operation and I was a kid, but now years later, it's pretty cool to see what they've done with the place. EDIT 3/9/24: I've been back there since I wrote this comment. It's 100% worth seeing in-person.
I hope somebody some day comes to this place dressed as Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. All those antlers...Also at the beginning I was like "Huh, that place weirdly looks like a Bass Pro Shop" and then you kept talking and I was like "...oh."
This place looks amazing. At first I was thinking that $40/person seems a bit steep, but after watching the video I think it is well worth it. One could really spend all/most of the day here.
What a lovely place to take kids to, where was this place exactly at, loved it. The only sad part of this video, was seeing #3Nascar rack sad to remember that day..thx for the share.
The Museum of Natural History in New York city has the same kind of taxidermy dioramas. It is closed on Monday. Check it out if you get to NYC. (takes all day to see museum.) I think the world's most dangerous animal is humans.
I dont mind taxidermy when the animals arent killed for it directly. If they are being eaten yo may as well use their skins but I am betting most if not all of those creatures were killed as trophies not for food

I'm a indoor person but I love this!
Love that aquarium where you can color a fish and make it swim. Very cool!
i know it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
"I dub this...the Bufflevator."
10/10.
I liked the aquarium and the penguins! Loved the aquarium that made your drawn fish swim, really cool.
As someone who works in a non-profit museum, I look at something like this and wish we had limitless money from an international chain of sporting goods stores! Holy moly! That's amazing!
Beautiful place but 40$ that's a lot. Thank you for the tour.Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤
Yeah, I think zoos with as many animals that are actually still alive cost less to visit.
Hi Jacob, great vlog on the Bass pro shop taxidermy museum. It was interesting!
I admire anyone who has more hair on their cheeks then their head, keep up the good work!
Looks like an interesting place to go. Loved the interactive fish screen where you could color your own fish.
Thanks for the tour ! Just saved $40
By far my favorite videos
I really enjoyed this one man
I heard that place was cool. It’s outta my price range so thanks for showing it!
Awesome place!!! Love the Carp Bagger!!
I always wanted to see it. Thank you for taking us along.
THIS WAS A VERY COOL VID, GREAT FOR ALL AGES, THING'S TO LEARN AND SEE, LOVED THE TCB FISH!
They say you can smell the ocean and the actual savannah while in the museum the arts so real looking!

Ultimate showdown: Carpetbagger vs. Quilt Cabal
I've seen what the man can do with a DIY spray-painted steel suitcase... those quilters would be screaming I QUI(L)T in two minutes flat.
I agree, but they would ban the suitcase at the door.
I love wildlife and I love Bass Pro shops. I don't hunt, but I have been camping and fishing. The store near me is small, but it has a big tank of fish you can watch for free.
You should take 60 East to Van Buren Mo and see BIG SPRINGS! Awesome site!!
The upscalator was a classic. Made me laugh.

Those fake waves are amazing. I wonder how they created them, especially 9:32 and at 12:22. That draw a fish thing is awesome too.
I can’t wait to go !!! 🥰
Fun place, to the people saying $40 is to much not really if you consider the up keep of all the aquariums and such. Plus some of that money goes to help conservation.
Great video man, but this huge attraction needs at least two mold-o-rama machines!
Adam Edwards It does need one at least. I know it has the penny smashers.
The Austin Dillon car from his Daytona wreck is crazy, still hard to believe he walked away from that one. Cool place, good video as always.
Hey jacob, how's it going bro. thank you for the Branson run. I haven't been there in 20 years. a lot has changed. I gotta go back. you peaked myself interest. you rock bro. keep up the cool vids, as long as momma let's u man. peace.
I love BassProShops! 😎.. Tax-i-der-my... Tax-i-derm-y... LOL!
"The Carpbagger"! Love it!
Aww I want to go! I love my bass pro shops near me, they have a gorgeous freshwater aquarium. BTW alligator gar can get much bigger than that guy. Up to 10 ft long
I swear I'm going to take a shot every time you say ultimate showdown. Lol
You have to eat at their restaurant in Branson called the White River Fish House. The smoked wahoo dip is amazing.
Hope you enjoyed Springfield Jacob!
Love watching your videos when I'm stoned thanks
Oh my gosh I was just there last week!
Interesting place, $40 seems a bit steep, though.
Cool video, CB. Place seems like a bust though for the price.
He likes taxidermy and this type of thing. It might be more worth it to him than to those of us who aren’t a fan of this sort of thing 🤷🏾♀️

A lot of money does go to conservation though so that's still great
Enjoyed replay thanks 😊 😘 ☺️
Worth every penny.
A big Fan from Ottawa Canada 🤘🤘
The Carpetbagger vs The Daily Woo the ultimate showdown
That cool drawing of the fish
"I wonder if he went up in the space needle." I chuckled.
Goin down in two weeks can't wait !
You should check out the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing Mi.
Shoulda been "Buffalift".
It was either that or "up-allo".
You need to visit Har-Ber Village in Grove, OK and the Precious Moments museum in Carthage, MO!!!!
I think he did Carthage, Mo and the PM museum about a year ago or so. I don't recall him posting any videos on the other one you listed.
Super awesome Jacob!
9:57 Diabeetus

FYI. If interested the largest county fair in Canfield. OH Labor Day weekend

Better review and more accurate representation of the aquarium is done by TH-camrs TODAY IS AN ADVENTURE DAY
I was wondering when you were getting around to visiting this place. It's odd to know you were at a place I drive by every day. Did you get a chance to check out Fantastic Caverns?
Now I need to go there
i live in this town and still have yet to see the inside of that place.
I love aquariums, if you get to London you should go to the London Aquarium, fab place.
Awesome place jacob
No lie there are so many unique Bass pro shops I never shop there but when I travel I do stop at the store it’s hard to tell what they might have inside
That cave bear 😍😍
love your mutton chops....

EDIT 3/9/24: I've been back there since I wrote this comment. It's 100% worth seeing in-person.
WOW They really upgraded since 2001
Yeah, I vaguely remember going myself back in the late 90s - I thought it was big then, but its definitely larger now.
@@noralewis5390 I went with my preschool class and I thought it was AMAZING then lol
I hope somebody some day comes to this place dressed as Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. All those antlers...Also at the beginning I was like "Huh, that place weirdly looks like a Bass Pro Shop" and then you kept talking and I was like "...oh."
Been there Twice I loved every minute of it. You forgot to say the ultimate showdown between the whale and the kraken.
lol was his perfect opportunity too to do his hissing noise with the taxidermied animals he missed it .. I miss the hissing haha
Shocked and maybe a little disappointed that you didn't utter your famous Jaws line despite many opportunities. ;)
That was awesome 👍😊😊👍
You missed Theodore Roosevelt's scouts guide handbook and his saddle that he used!
Was the eagle live or stuffed? I honestly cant tell bc it seems wrong to have it in a tiny cage, but I saw it move.
This place looks amazing. At first I was thinking that $40/person seems a bit steep, but after watching the video I think it is well worth it. One could really spend all/most of the day here.
Kathy T i live in Springfield and when I went I got there at 9:00 am and didn’t leave until about 5:00 pm and I still feel like I need to go back!!
My home town!!!!
Awsome🐠🐟🐬🐳🐋🐚🐙
Very cool
Audio in this one is slightly off centered. More volume in the left channel than the right, hard to watch with headphones on.
very good video and such a amazing place
What a lovely place to take kids to, where was this place exactly at, loved it. The only sad part of this video, was seeing #3Nascar rack sad to remember that day..thx for the share.
Doris its at the Bass Pro Museum in Springfield Mo.. Part of the Bass Pro store complex
Definitely worth a visit!
I give this one TWO thumbs up! Thanks!
Where is this place is love to see it
insanesavage gaming and outdoors It's in Springfield, MO.
Where is this need to go
Nice video
Nice
Awwwwwww I love Penguins!
but those kids were bratty banging on the glass like that If I was the kids mom I would have told them not to do that as it scares the animals
Piball deer are white spotted deer very rare but do exist and are beautiful animals !
It looks so nice and awesome
The room of bucks made me hungry lol
Seeing all the endangered taxidermy is sad
The Museum of Natural History in New York city has the same kind of taxidermy dioramas. It is closed on Monday. Check it out if you get to NYC. (takes all day to see museum.)
I think the world's most dangerous animal is humans.
