Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid

Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid isn’t your typical outdoor store. Inside the massive glass structure, you’ll find an indoor swamp (with real alligators), a bowling alley, an observation deck, a hotel, and enough outdoor gear to outfit an expedition. Even if you’re not into hunting or fishing, the views from the top—reached by the country’s tallest free-standing elevator—are worth the trip alone.
