I was blown away with the decorum and ambiance Bass Pro Shops brought to the table. Never in my life have I ever been to a Bass Pro shop this HUGE. All around the store are scenes of animals in action (deer, coyotes, pheasants, foxes, skunks, elk, moose, bison and obviously they are taxidermy) as well as hikers and bow hunters (mannequins dressed up for the perfect moment). They had a waterfall and also a indoor pond with turtles basking, ducks, and fish! (They we're alive). The staff was friendly, the experience was incredible. This was by far the coolest outdoors store I have ever visited. It was truly a shock for me since I expected Florida to have the coolest.

I usually find what I'm shopping for at Bass Pro. They have a great selection in every outdoor department. I am disappointed that the restaurant, Islamorada, is closed. I always enjoyed the seafood they served up there and some of the unique appetizers. It's a great place to shop, or just even "troll" around looking at the wild life including the aquarium, fish and duck pond, etc. Santa shows up around Christmas time and the store overlooks the walking trail, and the waterfalls across the lake including the park. Great place to visit anytime of day.

Why I can go into Bass Pro Shop, as if it's any other store, and not yet yelp about it is beyond me. Bass Pro Shop in Springfield used to be my destination when I was at the Lake of the Ozarks, bored. So, they built one in Independence for me, so I'd not go down to the Springfield store. Also, so I'd not waste so much gas traveling to Cabelas. I have always preferred Bass Pro Shop to Cabelas. I think it's the placement of the merchandise, and maybe even the brand name, Bass Pro Shop that is so appealing. We in Independence are quite proud. We rank with Denver, Colorado and Springfield, Missouri. People go to Independence to see this store. Springfield's BPS has a McDonald's, and a cool stuffed bear with horns over looking the same area. It has a barber shop, as well. Despite that, it is amazingly similar to the Independence store. This place is crazy huge, stocking all things outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting, gifts, clothing, boats, fudge, food and fun. It has a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the store. There's fresh water aquariums, real ducks in ponds, stuffed dead animals (which oddly fascinates me) in their natural habitat. The general store is where I buy my cornbread mix in the canister. I was buying Cabelas brand, till Independence got Bass Pro Shop. The fudge in the fudge shop is really good. They make it there. I'm not a chocolate lover, so I choose the other flavors. I also buy Bass Pro Shop's brand Swedish Fish. it's much better than the commercial Swedish Fish at the grocery store. The inside resembles a cedar lodge, with 2 floors. There's a cabin setting that is one of my favorite spots. You can smell the cedar. Even as long as the store has been here, the cedar is new smelling. The store ignites your senses. They keep the store immaculate. When they built the Bass Pro Shop, they built a beautiful setting on a lake. The water is serene and meditative. There's bike and walking trails around the area where Bass Pro is located. Bass Pro Shop is totally worth the trip. It is conveniently located near a Hobby Lobby. The road lay out has cool round abouts, but these can drive you nutty. The outside lighting at dusk is so pretty. It's complimentary to the store. The minute you enter the doors, your transplanted into an outdoor realm.

So, my crazy sister told me I had to go to this place. She just wants to go here and look at stuff. Me on the other hand, wants to see what they have to offer. Sad enough, its like a HUGE play ground for out doorsy people. There's one of those shooting games and also a huge fish pond with information on what kind of fishes are in them. Fun place to go and look and also HUGE variety of stuff for fishers, campers, and cave people.

We went here to get my husband a new pole and we left planning to buy a boat, so what does that tell you. We always enjoy his store it has a lot going and it's fun to browse and explore the large boats that we don't need. The guy we spoke to about a fishing boat was very knowledgeable and helpful. My husband was ready to buy on the spot the sales person advise that because it was a used boat going to our bank would be better than using their financing. We really appreciated this helpful information so it looks like we are buying a boat. Oh yeah and he did get a new reel although he still didn't catch any fish when you used it, LOL!

We went here the day before Easter to see the Easter Bunny! Sven also made an Easter craft (a bunny box). After we got pictures with the bunny we went to the cafe to get some candy. Then we looked around at all the animals, fish and waterfalls. Sven also really enjoyed looking at the four wheelers! We had tons of fun!

I like this location but on a recent trip I was a bit disappointed in the amount of options they had for a specific product
