That's close to Branson? We went there once when my folks visited. DH and I were newly weds living near Mountain Home, AR (in the tiny town of Flippin :lol)). We were 30 minutes from Branson, as the crow flies, but it took much much longer to drive. We were on an extremely tight budget and couldn't afford the gas to visit more than that one time.Where was that?The flagship store of Bass Pro is a half million square feet. Like all the stores there amazing displays of taxidermy in all departments but when you walk in the door there are streams and waterfalls with all kinds of live animals - especially ducks. There's 7 large fish tanks including a waterfall tank and there's an alligator pit. This is all while you're shopping for outdoor gear. There's 2 museums on the 4th floor. The NRA Sporting Arms Museum and the Archery Hall of Fame. They have Jesse James' revolver and Teddy Roosevelt's rifle. For archery it covers the entire history of archery in the US for people like Fred Baer, Geronimo's handmade bow and quiver and the original prototype compound bow. There's a pistol range and a place to sight in rifle scopes. There's a gunsmith and they can fix lots of things on the spot. There are restaurants, including Hemingway's Blue Water Café, a gourmet restaurant with a huge reef aquarium behind the bar. Once when I was there they had some very large sharks in it.
