Wonders Of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium

We’d read reviews on the WOW National Museum and Aquarium and that’s why we drove up from Branson to visit. I expected a good experience, but it definitely exceeded my expectations for quality. The whole experience is extremely well done - the cleanliness is impeccable, the staff were professional and friendly, the live animal and marine life displays and tanks were breathtaking and well thought out, and the non-live displays were fantastic. There is a full size diorama of a fishing yacht on the rolling seas with two guys deep sea fishing - it was breathtaking and incredibly executed on the mezzanine level. Quite something to see! (See my pictures). There’s a section dedicated to American Presidents and their love of fishing that was interesting and informative. The experience is laid out in themed sections, such as The Swamp, The Amazon, Jellies, Sharks etc. and the experience kept going. We liked the section where you can interact with the stingrays, the beaver saying hello, and the alligators. Like everything to do there’s a cost, but it was honestly great value for money and topped any aquarium I’ve visited before. Allow plenty of time - my teens moved quicker, but even at their speed it took 2 1/2 hours or so. It’s definitely an ‘all morning’ or ‘all afternoon’ thing to do, and there’s no shortage of things to see and appreciate. You definitely leave having a deep appreciation of our natural world, and learning tons of new facts about many species of creation. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!

I had an amazing experience at Wonders of Wildlife Aquarium. All the exhibits looks fantastic. It was more that just exhibits but the paths that lead to each section were very well done. The swamp area was my second favorite. The lighting and the temperature change reminded me of Florida. The stingray team member hosting did an incredible job and took the time to connect with me. The exhibit with the sunken ship was my favorite. The depth of the tank and the variety of species was breath taking.

Disney could learn a few things from Bass Pro Shops. I was not initially excited bro go here, but the group I was with wanted to go. Man was I surprised to find this the best aquarium I have ever been to. The fish and displays were simply the coolest I have ever seen. Be prepared for an entire afternoon here. It takes a LONG time to walk through there is so much. I honestly learned a lot too on this trip. Great interactive displays, and the staff was very knowledgeable as well. Definitely worth the experience.

This place is pretty incredible! I had always been putting off coming here because of the steep price but now I understand the hype and the price is definitely worth it. This is an otherworldly experience and I would recommend it to anyone of all ages. The tanks are incredible and the fish are breathtaking, we went for my 2 year old son’s birthday and he was blown away. I can’t wait to come again.

Fantastic family entertainment spot. This museum has something for everyone. It is self paced, so you choose whether you read all the signs or linger at a display. It is huge which makes up for the cost. It is essentially 3 museums in 1 and large it will take the whole morning or afternoon. The displays are immaculate and engaging. It is very clean and the building is in great condition. I recommend going here but make sure you have enough time to enjoy it all.

Fantastic place, for young and old alike. Took over 3 hours for a full walk through, but well worth the time. Exhibits were outstanding and well maintained. Lots of educational material posted all through the trip. Be sure and wear comfortable shoes and you won’t be disappointed

We love Bass Pro! This was the 3rd or 4th Bass Pro we have been to, each one is different. The exhibits are big and amazing. If you have health issues you may want to get a cart, there is lots...of walking but so worth. Each Bass Pro we have been to is different. I highly recommend seeing everyone.

Every year we visit family here in Missouri, and every year we visit Bass Pro Shops. Its a tradition for us. So since they started to build the aquarium I've of course wanted to go. Now I have two girls, 13 years and 10 months, and finally we got to visit. Its a little pricey, but after going through the aquarium we definitely feel the price was worth it at least once. We spent about two hours walking through and seeing all of the fish and animals. When we got our tickets we were also given coupons for drinks and a 10% off coupon for the gift shop, one for each adult ticket we purchased. Which was pretty nice. The gift shop was a little bit pricey even with the discount, but that's normal for gift shops. My 13 year old, who wants to be a marine biologist, absolutely did not want to leave. She got to pet sting rays which was a dream of hers and was telling us about the different fish and sharks we saw. My 10 month old loved the fish, especially the different types of jellyfish which were her favorite to see. Only complaint I had was that through out the aquarium there weren't many areas to sit. I saw a few, and understand that there is a limited amount of space available but a few more little benches would be nice. Other than that, it was a beautiful experience and a great memory for us all.

Wow. I mean, WOW!! They have a sign up that says they've been voted best aquarium in the USA multiple times, and I can see why. The facility is very nicely laid out and an almost IKEA feel to it in terms of you get directed one way thru the entire exhibit. I mean that as a compliment as you don't have the issue of missing something, fighting against crowds going in a different direction, etc. I really appreciate the concept. The place is designed with both exhibits of animals to view as well as dioramas and fun information. Plan at least 2 hours when you go, and there are lots of things for little kids to see and do too as you go thru. The tanks and set up were very well done. At multiple locations they have interactive touch screens to get info on the fish and animals. The only thing I would change is to add the name on the touch screen with the fish icon versus having to click on the fish to figure out what it is. But that was a minor issue at best. All in all it was an incredibly impressive aquarium. I highly recommend it and will definitely return.

I really wanted to like this place. I think the building is gorgeous (inside and out), but compared to some of the aquariums I've been to... I was just unimpressed. Then again, I am also not into fishing and this is a BIG fishing museum. One thing I did like is when we arrived, it was happy hour which I had no idea was a thing, so we got inside for a much cheaper price. The website states: "Monday through Friday 2-5pm, admission is discounted so you can unwind as you venture through the aquarium. Receive a $5.00 drink voucher for a beverage of your choice and a 10% discount voucher on select souvenirs at our gift shop!". We did use the 10% for the gift shop on a magnet but unfortunately, the place closed before we could use the beverage voucher. Again, it was nice and gorgeous but I would rather go other places. I am just not interested in all the fishing exhibits and can do without.

Amazing! It is definitely well worth the cost! It's a great place for little kids, fishermen, hunters, and people who love the outdoors. They're reputed to be America's best aquarium, and it's probably true. The staff was friendly. We spent 3 hours going quickly through with our 1 year old, but we could've spent the whole day there. There are lots of stairs, but there are also lots of elevators. You should definitely add it to your itinerary!

Stunning! This aquarium is so thoughtfully done with intricate displays. It took my three kids and I about 1.5-2 hours to walk through the space and wasn't too busy right at 10am when they opened. The jellyfish were especially beautiful to watch. My 8 year old also had fun feeding the stingrays. I would definitely recommend this aquarium for a hot / rainy/ cold day spent indoors!

I heard this museum and aquarium is the thing to do if you visit Springfield Mo. Unfortunately we found out about it too late and could not find a time slot available to gain entry. This is a pretty busy area and sells out quickly. We will definitely make a special visit back during a warmer season to see what this area has to offer. But driving around the outside it is decorated beautifully . Christmas Lights are well lit and parking lot is full of excitement and activity. I can't wait to come back for the experience. I'm giving three stars now so when I come back I can upgrade for inside reviews as well . To be continued....

One of the better aquariums we have been to. The tanks are well kept and they are great about keep children engaged. Both kids loved the enter active coloring station that displayed their art on the tanks.

Do not underestimate this place it is huge!! I went alone ( in the area for work ) which sucked but I'm happy I got to see this place! I didn't think much like yea yea bass proshop but it's insanely worth it! They support their troops! ( thankful ) an it's honestly so well done! It's extremely family friendly and if you're on your own it's ok too! They have an aquarium where you can touch stingrays or swim with sharks!! They have netgeo photo museum as well as a museum of death, which is mostly taxidermy animals, and it is insanely well done still, you will not be disappointed. In the middle of the museum, they also have penguins which was super cool and yes, they are alive! They also have plenty of snack bars in the area of restaurant before you go into the aquarium or the museum whichever one you're choosing at the time do not lose your ticket because it will be scanned three times for three different exhibits and again you will not be disappointed. There is also a restaurant and if you're in Bass Pro shop a way to get into the shops in between the museums as well, super friendly it made me really wish I had my son with me and sad that I didn't because he would've loved everything about this place! My only issue was that it was a little crowded even though I was able to speed walk past mostly everybody being alone I wasn't and in front of one one thing too long. So I would suggest to mitigate that going on a off day if you can like early morning or during the weekday, I went on a weekend Saturday afternoon and it still wasn't that bad even with the crowd 10 out of 10.

This place is a great place for all! We went on a day where the weather was wet/cold out so this was a great day to be indoors! Being from Missouri and growing up going to the "original" Bass Pro shop in the Brown Derby with my dad this was so neat to see. All the memorabilia and history packed into this place is neat. The part with all the animals was so relaxing, especially the aquarium. There are places to get food and drinks in the museum if needed but we only got some waters along the way, no food. This is a great place to check out, I've been here twice and things have changed since the first visit. Great addition to Bass Pro shops!

This was very cool!! They did a great job with the displays a lot of them look like they are in action. We really enjoyed everything here. Be sure to check out all the exhibits the wild life photography was excellent!

Beautiful! Aquarium! One of my favorites so far! It was a huge maze of so many exciting exhibits and experiences! Attached to Bass Pro Shop.

I've been in and out of Springfield for the last four years or so visiting friends, and yet somehow never have gotten around to checking the Aquarium out. Well this time around they tested positive for Covid the day I landed, which freed up about a week's worth of time for me, so I decided to check it out. First off let me say that there are plenty of restrooms throughout, so feel free to chug that 80oz soda before you visit. Secondly, although this museum consists of multiple floors in an IKEA walking path sort of way (one direction only) there are elevators for every set of stairs and plenty of places to sit and rest along the way, so feel free to bring your wheelchair or crutches wielding friends. So now that we've gotten the mechanics of the place sorted out, on to the Aquarium and its exhibits. Fish. They have them. Big fish. Little fish. Fish that swim in circles and fish that just lounge lazily about. Blue fish, red fish, tuna fish. They've got it good here. The different environments on each level for all the exhibits, do well to mimic the environments of the residents, from the fish to the alligators. I worked at a zoo when I was a kid and I remember I felt so bad for the prisoners there, as that's the only way I could think of the poor animals in the exhibits; living in concrete cages looking out through bars sadly so far removed from their natural habitat. It ruined my desire to visit a zoo for the next twenty years. These guys don't look like inmates though, they look like they're pretty happy hanging out in some luxury apartment, chillin' with friends. Not saying they probably wouldn't prefer to be out in the wild, but at least they didn't look bored to death. So yup, it's worth a visit here if you get a chance. It'll take you about three hours to wander through the place, so bring time to spare and blindfold your children at the end or the gift shop will bankrupt you.

I'll start with that the aquarium itself is mostly ADA friendly, which is appreciated. While we know that aquariums are generally dark, it was a bit difficult to see where you were going, and if you have difficulty seeing well (especially if you struggle with seeing in darkness). The entrance is so dark you can't even see where the ticket booth is. It was different and an unexpected treat to see some animals other than fish here. But that's really the only thing that made it special. For being the "Best Rated in America" for the past 5+ years, this aquarium was a massive let down. We've been to aquariums all over the country and so many are WAY better than this. If you want the TRUE "best aquarium" go to Chattanooga. It's on a whole other level and significantly more exciting. Being avid aquarium goers, this one was unfortunately a waste of time and money. Personally, it is at the bottom of our list.

OUTSTANDING!!! The museum and the aquarium were phenomenal! We are from Florida and we felt this aquarium was better than the ones in Florida. The Museum was like a theme park. Both were very educational too. HIGHLY recommend!

This was the best Aquarium I have been to this side of the sea. Rated in the Top 20 Aquariums in the US. Again, people here are so friendly during our visit. Beautiful displays and scenery. Very clean building.. 350,000 sq ft of wonderful varieties of species. Only disappointment was the Stingray display was closed for renovation.

My husband and I spent the better part of a day at Wonders of Wildlife. The exhibits were very creatively made and appealing. The aquarium is full of a wide variety of fish, very colorful! Wildlife habitats are portrayed as if you were truly there. The place is massive. They even had live penguins! Highly recommend visiting here! We will be back!

This place is everything you ever could ask for. Me and my friend went for a shark feeding frenzie dive, my friend is paraplegic, and nonverbal. She uses a wheelchair. The staff called us in advance, planned everything to the T, were absolutely incredible. Theytruley were adaptive and there isn't a single complain we had about the entire day. The staff listened to us and my friend, they helped us trouble shoot the communication aspect, they helped hold her comfortable under the water with the scuba helmet on, transferred her in and out and seriously were incredibly kind and helpful. They didn't baby her ether, they treaded her and us like adults and it was the best experience we ever could have asked for. There using are videos to train the rest of there staff to slow more kids like my friend to participate. 1,00/10.

So beautiful and organized. We arrived an hour and a half before closing on a Monday. This let us get through with plenty of time to see the wildlife without dealing with large crowds. Highly recommend you visit if you're in the area. The touch pools and sting rays are so cool!

First time visitor and I LOVED our visit. I am absolutely amazed at the thought process and design that went into this aquarium. I am a Disney person and always feel Disney goes above and beyond, and the attention to detail here is equal. The aquarium is massive and each display is as good as the next. The fish all seem content and their homes are clean. I love the computer screens that allow you to determine names of fish. The area which has all the photographs is superb. We sat and watched the photographers talking about their amazing shots. Honestly, I didn't care for all the fake animals everywhere, so we skirted that area quickly.

Wow! My understanding is that this aquarium wins the title of best aquarium in the U.S. for a number of years in a row. While, I have yet to visit the Atlanta Aquarium, I have never found a better experience

This is a really cool place all the way around we took our 18 month old granddaughter and she liked seeing. Animals she has seen in books close up obviously the non aquarium animals are taxidermy but still she was so excited to see elephants that close even not being exact elephants I guess size wise, but I think most of the taxidermy animals are real they look it anyways aquarium side was really cool and enjoyable we went during the week and there was a chill field trip so loud and crowded but nonetheless really cool overall

This deserves the award of Best Aquarium in United States for 5 years running! It's absolutely amazing. Took us 2.5 hours to go through, and that was us pushing through faster, plan for 4 hours at least if you're a reader! So much history, animals, and fun! On the pricey side but totally worth it! You will not be disappointed!

I have been to aquariums all across the USA and this is my number one & most favorite one ! This place is worth your money and time , please make sure to stop by if you're in town ! I was in Springfield for a business trip and decided to go here on my own - it was so worth it . As soon as you walk in you can tell this place was going to be amazing ! The whole place is incredible , with extraordinary exhibits and amazing props . I couldn't stop taking pics and videos . I was so impressed . I wish I had an aquarium like this back home so I can take my daughter but I guess I'll just need to come back ! What a spectacular place , I cannot say enough good things. Just make sure you get here early and wear comfy shoes - it is huge!

Good family event, for sure. You can spend a few hours in here. No problem!! Little pricy, but you have to figure the cost to run this place year around, and it makes sense. The little kids loved it but not the pace it takes to look at items pictures or read the history. So this might have to be a 2 visit place. One with kids at their pace. Then, one with the misses so we can look at the reels hall of fame and the presidential section

Incredible experience and kind staff! We went thinking that it would be like other aquariums that we'd been to before, and that we'd only be there an hour. However, it was over the top, and we were there 4 hours looking at everything. The taxidermy displays looked so real that it took my breath away!

By far the best aquarium in the country, and we have been to many. We brought our children back to this one. So many areas to explore and interactive areas for the kids. Using the elevators, the directions for which floor/area was next was not always clear which resulted in wandering through the same area a few times and skipping others unintentionally. But still MUCH to see!

Wonders of Wildlife is a fantastic aquarium experience! There's tons to see and staff is well informed. It's definitely not a quick walk through. Plan for at least 2 hours, more if you plan to go to the Wildlife Galleries as well.

This spot is pretty cool. Initially, we thought it was a little pricey, but once we walked through the whole thing, decided it was worth it. It took about 2-2.5 hours to walk through. They had various exhibits that had a lot of information and really cool things to look at. I liked that everything was spread out and didn't feel too congested. If you plan on doing any of the extras, plan accordingly because they fill up. I would book a few days ahead of time. Overall, this was a cool experience and would recommend for all ages.

This was a great experience! We loved all the different exhibits. It started off slow, but progressively got better. We really enjoyed all the animal exhibits and the aquarium was great! The aquariums are giant! My kids enjoyed the touch pools as well. We would definitely go back and recommend. Only downside was that it is a bit of a maze in some areas. If you have a stroller be prepared. But staff were very helpful. Check their website for deals.

Omg! This is so far thee best Aquarium that I've visited thus far! I am a native of Baltimore City and I actually loved our aquarium there, but when I visited this aquarium, I was in awe! I couldn't believe my eyes, this aquarium was absolutely beautiful! There were so many different exhibits to look at, I was amazed! I must've have been in there for at least three hours or longer and if it wasn't for my feet hurting, I would've stayed even longer. The time and dedication that went into that place was amazing and appreciated! This place is beautifully well-kept, the service was awesome, the staff had such pleasant attitudes and the ambiance... I felt like I was in the ocean, this is a definite must see!

A surprisingly good aquarium and museum complex given it is in Springfield, MO. It was more in line with something I'd expect in Baltimore, or San Francisco, or Chicago, or someplace like that. The complex consists of 2 major sections that we saw: 1. An aquarium with many levels and exhibits ranging from live fish, penguins, an alligator, a tortoise, and other sea life. Beyond that there's a fishing hall of fame, and some interactive exhibits for kids. 2. A museum with history of the area including various stuffed animals, movies, artifacts, and interactive tour guides. We spent 2 hours at the aquarium and 1.5 hours at the museum - and I covered 9600 steps according to my App!

How would have known one of the best Aquariums in the United States is in the small city of Springfield Missouri?!? This is almost as good as if Disney made an Aquarium. It's that good. It's huge. Allow at least 2 hours. If you want to have a cocktail while you walk around be sure to bring cash as there are various snack/beverage stations through the Aquarium and it was cash only (at least on the day I went). The Manta Ray petting pool is one of the highlights and is at the end. The attached Bass Pros headquarters is INSANE and an attraction in itself! My only criticism of the Aquarium is $52.50 per person is pretty darn steep to walk through an Aquarium and that takes it from 5 to 4 stars. For that price I'd almost expect to swim with sharks, which you CAN (inside a cage - for an extra cost of course.) Over $52 is almost amusement park (except Disney) prices and this isn't an all-day attraction. Just exploring the Bass Pro store for free is a much better value of course and that can easily take a couple hours in itself especially if you are a hunting/gun/archery/fishing enthusiast. Buy your tickets beforehand and try to go on a non-peak day (meaning weekday during vacation season and reserve weekends for periods that kids aren't on vacation from school.)

Very cool experience. This place was a lot bigger than it looked, but still pretty pricey for a family of four. This is not for people who are afraid of heights! (Some of the walkways skinny and three stories up with rails on both sides.) My major complaint would be it was VERY crowded, so anytime I'd try to take my time and enjoy the museum, read about the artifacts or paintings, there was ALWAYS someone standing behind me or beside me, and so I felt rushed and didn't get to read and enjoy a lot of things. There were also several groups of adults with their phones out playing music, talking loudly, and being very obnoxious, no fault of the museums - but it'd been nice if someone would have stopped them from ruining everyone else's time. This could have been really neat... but overcrowding and obnoxious guests kinda ruined the experience. Can't say I'd recommend it.

Had no idea what I was in for. This self guided tour took 4 hours. This place was so amazing. Aquariums were great. The wildlife exhibits were astonishing. You learn about wildlife from all the continents.

So worth the money! The aquarium was amazing with a mixture of beautiful live fish and breathtaking displays. Not to mention, you get 3 museums for the price of one! Totally recommend!

This is two museums. Your ticket price is for both. You cannot buy a ticket for only one. They are not adjacent to each other and you must pass through Bass Pro Shop to get from one to the other. The Aquarium has its own entrance; Wonders of Wildlife is inside Bass Pro. You can purchase tickets at the entrance to either exhibit. All that wasn't clearly explained to us and required multiple conversations with various staff to ensure we saw each exhibit. We viewed both in about 2-1/2 hours. However, we moved very quickly--especially after hunger set in. If you're the type to read all the exhibit signs, there are a lot of them and you could spend hours in either museum. Both displays are visually stunning. The set designs are just incredible, putting you as much as possible in the environments of the species you're viewing. The aquarium is full of live creatures in various habitats. The wildlife exhibit is a marvel of taxidermy as animals are poised in battle, flight, play, or contemplation. Throughout the wildlife exhibit you get subtle and not so subtle but steady messages that hunters and anglers are simply conservationists. Of course, both museums are connected to a huge retail warehouse so you can find guns, ammo, lures, and bait to begin or advance your conservation efforts. For us it was about a 5-minute walk without children in hand between the two museums because we had to blaze a path through the Bass holiday shoppers. The wildlife exhibit and store share a parking lot. There's a separate lot for the aquarium.

It's well worth the money it takes at least 2 to 3 hours to go through the whole place and it's amazing on the inside. So if you're looking for something to do and you don't want to get ripped off, I recommend wonders of wildlife.

Who knew such a huge aquarium existed in this area! Everything was super sized - it was like a Costco aquarium built like an Ikea maze. Once you go in the main aquarium... you can't come out until you make full route!!! There are places to sit and rest and a couple of places to get a snack or drink... but don't start it if you're super hungry, lol. That would be my only complaint. You'll get your steps in for sure. The photography exhibit was beautiful and worth admiring. I was excited to see the penguins but did not enjoy walking through all the taxidermy to get to them! They told us it would take an hour, but it only took about 20 minutes to waltz through.

I can't even believe I'm reviewing a place like this. I'm not a hunter nor an angler, but this aquarium and museum was incredible. The focus on education and conservation was apparent throughout the experience.

The Aquarium part and the swamp area is lovely. Lots of large tanks, animals to view and learn about. I would recommend just the tickets for the aquarium. Was not anticipating the multiple rooms of taxidermy. It's Bass pro. So not a surprise. But was a bit off putting after a few rooms of hunting glorification.

This was unlike any aquarium I've ever been to. Very interactive and SO MUCH to see. It's pretty darn expensive, but you can see how much money was put into it when you walk through. It isn't just the sea life enclosures - it's everything - the walkways, the bubbles kids can pop their heads into and be in the center of the aquarium, the decor, etc. There was certainly no shortage of things to look at! Be forewarned: it's a long walk! Even I was a little tired after getting through the wildlife and aquarium parts. We planned on walking around bass pro afterwards (my kids LOVE bass pro, which is why we wanted to visit the Wonders of Wildlife to begin with) but by the time we finished at the museum, everyone was ready to go home. I would deem this a "must do" in Springfield with kids (or possibly even without kids!). FYI you can buy tickets online but not with a military discount. We waited to purchase tickets at the aquarium and they had raised prices from the ones online. I think we ended up paying about the same with the military discount as we would have pre-purchasing regular priced tickets online. A little confusing. If you're a Veteran, I might give them a ring before you go and check on the pricing.

A wonderful surprise that offered far more than we were expecting to be honest. We have been to many a museum and aquarium as we are avid travelers and love historic things. When we were in the area, this location kept popping up as a popular thing to do so we decided to add it to our list, and boy are we glad we did. The location was far larger than we were expecting. It did cost more than we anticipated, but once inside and seeing all it had to offer, it made sense as to why the price point was higher. The first portion we covered was the museum. They had a ton of exhibits that varied in their presentation style and offerings. We especially loved all of the taxidermy animals that were posed in 'natural' scenes and overall just really well done. After the museum we headed into the aquarium portion which was just as vast and engrossing as the museum. Personally I fell in love with the shipwreck scene and stingray touch zone, but there was plenty more than that to offer!! I am a HUGE fan of birds of prey and they had a small section with owls and an eagle that I could have stood in for hours. They do a fun picture scene at the beginning of your adventure, so be sure to check out your photo package for a fun souvenir. Very reasonably priced at $28 for a couple of backgrounds, or $38 for the photos with a frame and a digital print copy offer. The staff was incredibly friendly throughout the entire area. There were staff to ask questions to at several of the animal areas if you are curious about something the placards don't cover off on. Overall: A++ Wonderful experience and a must-do for anyone looking for a fun filled time!! We will be back for sure if we ever head back to the area!

Pretty neat place. I was disappointed they didn't have full grown sharks. But all the Johnny Morris attractions are decorated so well. Nice aquarium.

BEST AQUARIUM EVER! This place is SO cool, there are such a variety of species in this aquarium. Lots of space to walk around as well, it's HUGE, you can walk around for hours and there are endless species to look at. It's also really clean as well, there are bathrooms everywhere which is really convenient! The gift store is also really big, and great food options as well for lunch :)

Wonderful aquarium. Very educational. Employees are very helpful and can point you where you're going. I will say leave a few hours to go through it because they say 3 or 4 hours and that's pretty accurate.

We only went through the aquarium part, so there's that. It is a lot to take in in one day. The lack of signage for the fish/animal on display was frustrating. The maze feel had an Ikea vibe. It felt a lot like a Hall of Fame for fishing. I've been to Monterey Bay Aquarium so it's tough to be judged against that.

It isn't the cheapest thing, but so worth it! Beautiful displays with amazing fish, animals, and wildlife. I've been to the Georgi Aquarium and this was better in a lot f ways. So many different types of areas covered, including the bass fishing Hall of Fame.

Definitely worth stopping past if you have the opportunity. The complex has an aquarium with multiple levels and exhibits along with a fishing hall of fame. The museum has area history, various taxidermy items, films, artifacts and interactive guides too. Your ticket will cover both sides so you get a good bang for your buck. Would stop again if in the area.

It's a nice place with a lot to see. It's a little pricey but worth the first time visit. Johnny Morris always does things first class and this is no exception. Adults and kids alike will enjoy the museum. If you have trouble walking, it's a longer tour but every location is wheelchair accessible.

This is truly the greatest aquarium and wildlife museum I've seen on this planet!!! Great information provided at all stops along the way as you wonder around this amazing place. One second your in the aquarium then the rain forest, cave systems, and swamp environments. There is a beautiful waterfall, bats, birds, alligators snakes lizards, you name it and you'll probably see it. You can touch the stingrays in there swim tank some are a little Hobert and will splash you so be prepared to get wet, then you can schedule to dive with the sharks in the shark tank. Really to many wonders to explain. Great for adults or family outings..
