    Bass pro
    Kathe P.

    If you love Bass pro shop, you gotta visit! It's ginormous! It has the biggest selection of outdoor gear you will find! There is a cypress garden with fish and alligators! The kids will love it' Wahlburgers is inside the store so off you spend all day looking at everything and get hungry...go visit, the burgers are pretty good and priced well!

    At first I thought, 'meh, I don't care about Bass Pro Shop so I'm not gonna come here.' I was wrong.. do it!! Come to the pyramid! Although it is a gigantic BPS, it is basically its own attraction. There's a giant tank with different fish, alligators, bowling, a hotel, AND a pretty cool observation deck that only costs $8 to go up. There's a restaurant up top, too! Everything is decorated so cool to make you feel like you're walking around a bayou on a starry night. Seeing everything made me curious to come back to check out the hotel and bowling one day. This is a must-do when visiting Memphis!

    This striking 32 story pyramid completed in 1991 houses a huge Bass Pro Shop. There are aquariums, an artificial swamp & shooting range. There is a clear walled elevator going on 28 floors to a glass observation deck with views of downtown & the river. Besides outdoor clothing & gear there is a Hilton hotel, boats, awe vehicles, burger restaurant, rooftop, ... alligators!

    Bass Pro Shop is easily accessible by car with plenty of free parking around the Pyramid. You can skip the wait by booking a reservation to the Lookout Restaurant, and line up directly after paying $8 fare per adult on the right hand lane straight up to the 28th Floor. Great views on both lookout points. Make sure you head there before the last reservation at 6:30PM as the Lookout restaurant and entire store closes at 7:00PM, meaning you'd only be able to catch the beginning of sunset before close. I love the southwest view of the Mississippi River and the Hernando Desoto bridge. Make sure you go on a cooler day, as the window panes of the pyramid reflect sunlight at an angle back onto the lookout points. Very easy to get to with great view payout.

    I have known about The Pyramid in Memphis for years. First as a basketball arena and now as the second largest Bass Pro Shops. We recently visited Bass Pro Memphis and stayed one night at the indoor hotel called Big Cypress Lodge. Pretty special place. You see just how special this place is from the very moment you drive up. Then you walk in. Boats in water, numerous water features including the traditional fish tank, gators, 28 story to the top to a lookout with an amazing view of the Memphis skyline. Our experience at the lodge was cool. The room we stayed in is resort style. Outdoor theme, with a balcony that looks at the sales floor. Overall The Pyramid is a very special place. Don't just go and shop...go and experience...go and stay.

    Very nice concept, a lot of good things to buy and nice overlooking of the city. The staff are nice too. Don't forget to grab one of souvenirs hat

    When in Memphis, you have to visit the Pyramid. We planned it out to be there during sunset and it was beautiful. The views are breathtaking. There's no seating available and its not for those who are afraid of heights. There are a few different view points for different angles of the city. Don't miss out!

    The one thing that I knew I wanted to see when I visited Memphis was the Pyramid. I know there's Beale Street and Graceland, but to me, peak Memphis is the Pyramid. Even though I'm getting to see it in the current state and not when it was an arena. Once settled in to where I was staying I decided to walk to here so that I could take it in from afar and as I neared. Walking here was probably a stupid thing, but I did it either way. As you walk towards the Pyramid you take in how this used to be used as an arena. With the vast parking lots, winding road that leads you up to the front door, you could only imagine how busy this place was on a game day. To note, this place is the eighth largest pyramid in the world. And for me to say that I got to go to a pyramid is kind of a cool thing to say. There are many things that go into to this place, and some of those are separate reviews as the inside of this place has definitely changed and adapted. It is now home to a Bass Pro Shop, Ducks Unlimited, hotel, observation deck, small museum, restaurants, aquariums, and tallest free standing elevator in the country. Other notable things in here are an archery range, shooting range, laser shooting range, bowling, and the list could go on. A very unique reuse of a building and I am glad I got to see it.

    The Memphis Pyramid is a giant, glittery Bass Pro fever dream... part swamp, part sporting goods store, part luxury lodge, with gators downstairs and river views upstairs. It's weird, wonderful, and unapologetically over the top.

    Great place to view the sunset and do some Bass Pro Shops browsing! While the deck uptop is $8 and a harrowing elevator ride to the top, the sunset views are not to be missed! If you'd like to get a drink at the fish bowl, a bar (and small restaurant) surrounds a lovely curved fish tank. The Pyramid gets negative points for hotel staff not being knowledgeable about their own public happy hour on a Friday with the fire pits, music, etc. but will leave those comments where hotel mgmt can view. Check out the basketball history of the Memphis Pyramid, as well! Can you believe they played basketball here until 2001? Ra, Ra, Ra, it's the Memphis Pyramid!

    This is the Memphis Pyramid or Bass Pro Shops Superstore.

    The Memphis Pyramid is an iconic downtown landmark. But actually, it's really a Bass Pro Shops Megastore. If you are an outdoors enthusiast, then I believe this place is for you. Inside the massive lobby, off to the right hand side is the hotel check-in counter for the Big Cypress Lodge. Wow, a hotel inside the pyramid, that's pretty cool. I started thinking of Las Vegas, lol. And straight ahead is entering a sportsman's paradise. There's everything you can think of and the setting is from some far away Disney themed fantasyland. Just walking around and browsing felt like an escape into another world. They sell equipment for archery, camping and hunting. You can buy boats, tractors, fishing, bait and tackle, sunglasses, raingear. There was a sign for range and waterfowl. I don't even know what that is, lol. There's a General Store that makes homemade fudge and old fashioned candies like moon pies, taffies, licorice, cotton candy and jellybeans. - A restaurant called Wahlburgers. - They house alligators in a pond. - Large fish tanks. But the big highlight is The Lookout from the Observation Deck. Yes, for $8 a person ($5 for kids) you can ride the elevators to the top of the pyramid. Then stand outside from high above Memphis looking down on the city. The skyline was pretty nice including panoramic views of the bridge that connects Tennessee and Arkansas crossing the Mississippi River. Besides the Observation Deck, the Lookout at the Pyramid is a bar and restaurant offering 360 degree surroundings. Lastly, they had a lot of discounted merchandise, so it felt like shopping at a retail outlet store. Some hats were $5.99 and t-shirts $6.99. I picked up a few items along with fudge and candy. Overall, the Pyramid, or I guess you can call it Bass Pro Shops Superstore, is a fun way to combine shopping and sightseeing within one destination. I had a memorable time.

    It's a giant Bass Pro Shop. Fun to wander around. I'd imagine if there's a hunting or camping device you can imagine - they have it.

A great way to explore and learn all at the same time. Also it's great for families with people who can't walk a tour. This allows you to tour no matter your ability. The tour guide said she has done this in other states too I would travel to experience this in every state. What an excellent concept. I hope it goes further! I posted a few pictures you have to go in the tour to hear their stories.

The 'Queen' was our guide and she totally made this Memphis trip a memorable one. Even though I've been to Memphis a few times, I've never had someone provide depth to the city's history and culture that is out in the open but not really seen. Queen doesn't just spit knowledge-- she keeps everyone engaged throughout the tour. She also is a master at linking the past with the present, with an added emphasis on prompting action to shape future history. You have my word--take this tour at first opportunity and you won't be disappointed. It'll also be valuable for learning good food and tourist spots for after the tour. Hint: smoked turkey ribs...

Two hours later, he picked us up and took us out and showed us all around Memphis, what it's famous for, all the important historical spots, let us hop out of the car for some photo shoots, then took us all around to spots where famous singers sang at before they became famous. He showed us where Elvis had his first rock and roll concert, where he got his karate lessons, and the salon where Priscilla Presley got her hair done at. He showed us many different districts, local old houses build in the 1800s, and got to show us "shotgun houses" -those long narrow working houses. He drove us past the Lorraine Hotel where Martin Luther King was assassinated at. George is a true Memphis guy. We got to learn so much about Memphis! We probably got way more information out of this trip than we would have if the music history tour bus had picked us up. The best part-- he offered to take us to the airport at 5:20 am! So we got to relax the night before knowing that guaranteed, we had a ride to the airport in the early cold morning. Thanks George! I wish I could put in 20 stars!!!

    We weren't impressed…read more Don't waste your time with this company. I believe this tour company and Blues City Tours are one and the same. I searched online for a hop-on, hop-off city tour and came across this company. It was a July 4th Saturday. We arrived at the Welcome Center on time but we were also supposed to pick up other passengers at different stops. The route did not follow the schedule because we had to pick up passengers. The tour guide was hard to hear, either the microphone wasn't working well or the the bus needed servicing... it was competing with the tour guide as far as loudness. The following places were on the schedule: Ticket Booth/Hard Rock Cafe National Civil Rights Museum/Blues Hall of Fame Rock N' Soul Museum/BB King's Stax Museum Graceland Sun Studios Auto Zone Park/Peabody Hotel Bass Pro Shop (Pyramid) Welcome Center We saw 4 of the places listed above. We got off the bus in Graceland and spent quite some time there. The bus runs every hour and 20 mins but the bus came late, we could've stayed a little longer at Elvis' mansion. We thought we'd have to take Uber back in town. We could've done our own self-guided driving tour. It turned out there were only six of us who booked that day and one of the ladies with us was a tour bus guide herself in New Orleans! She too was disappointed with this company. Paid $63 ($30/per person + fees). Don't waste your $$. I was just glad to learn about The Lorraine Motel where Dr MLK Jr. was shot while standing on a balcony outside his second-floor room. We drove to the museum after the tour. Other than that I didn't learn much from the tour. I'm sorry to say but It was disorganized. Review #1876

    THIS IS NOT NARRATED AND NOT A TOUR - WORST USE OF TIME IN MEMPHIS…read more I love hop on and off tours when I visit a new city. You usually get a cliff notes overview of the city and attractions and then you can choose what you might want to go back to spend more time on. Usually the buses are frequent and reliable and guides or audio narrations are informative. THIS WAS NONE OF THAT! The site says buses are supposed to start running at 9:00AM and for some reason this service only run once per hour. My companion and I decided to take our time on breakfast and were at our stop to catch the second bus at 10:00 AM. The sign at the stop said it comes by that location at 15 minutes after the hour so we waited. At 10:25 we tried to call to find out where the bus was but continually got a busy signal. At 10:35 my friend walked up to the booth only to find out that the driver decided to start her day at 10:00AM at Graceland that day. She assured us she would be by our stop at 11:15. We came back to the stop at 11:05 and waited until 11:30 before the driver showed up. The bus was old, small, and smelled strongly of diesel fumes, definitely not the bus pictured in the ad. There were a few other couples on at that point and we started chatting. Some folks thought they were on the "blue line" and others wanted the "green line". When asked, the driver said she was the only driver so she would drop people off wherever they wanted. She definitely did not stick to a predetermined route and there would be no telling when the bus might decide to come back if you actually decided to hop off at an attraction! It soon became clear that there was also no narration and when asked about that the driver indicated that she already did it when she started at 10:00AM!? By this time we had ridden to the Stacks Museum which is in a sketchy area so although we wanted off this nightmare bus that by now had made me nauseous from the fumes we were afraid we might not be able to get back to our hotel. Another couple who though they were on the "blue line" told her they wanted to go to the Civil Rights Museum back toward downtown so when she headed that way we asked to be dropped off back at the Peabody Hotel so we could just get in our car and drive, which is what we would have done in the first place if we knew it was not a tour at all but a sketchy and unreliable shuttle bus. I was at the end of a business trip and I had planned for an afternoon flight so I could take advantage of the morning to get a taste of Memphis before heading home. What was supposed to be an efficient way to experience this city turned into a total disaster that sucked up our day. By the time we got of that crazy train, we only had enough time to drive up to Graceland and take a picture and then head to the airport. An unfortunate experience in what should have been a unique city with a rich and vibrant history.
