Johnny Morris and Bass Pro Shops have made Missouri legendary. Fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts from far and wide have traveled to see the Bass Pro Shops headquarters in Springfield, Missouri. But lucky for Branson locals and visitors – the town boasts its very own Bass Pro Shops! Head on down to The Landing to check out the Branson Bass Pro – you will find everything you need from fishing gear to camping supplies to outdoor fashion, right on the shores of Lake Taneycomo!
The Branson Bass Pro is designed to evoke memories of long, lazy days of fishing along the White River – and of course, to create new memories for families and individuals alike! With Johnny Morris’s signature outdoor style, your trip to the Branson Bass Pro is sure to be memorable. This 40,000 square foot building chock full of awesome outdoorness is not just a store – it is a tribute to the fishing and boating heritage of the Ozarks, as well as a regional museum, and an education and conservation center as well. Modeled after the industries that shaped the post-lake White River area, the Branson Bass Pro is a breath of fresh river air with memories of old mixed with a new era for everyone to enjoy.
The logs and stonework framing the front entrance of the Branson Bass Pro gives way to an interior with a massive fireplace and a framework of pine logs. Finely crafted outdoor themed chandeliers hang from the forty-five foot ceiling – but the hanging light fixtures are secondary to the natural light that streams in from the roof dormers! The ceiling is hand painted tin, and as your browse through the aisles and aisles of outdoor equipment, clothing and décor, you will notice the deer and other wildlife tracks that are stamped into the concrete floor.
One of the crowning jewels of the Branson Bass Pro is the 20,000 gallon aquarium and waterfall; the aquarium is full of native fish like rainbow trout, bass, catfish and more. Above the aquarium sits a replicated mill and working water wheel, and an amazing wildlife scene. You won’t want to miss stopping in this part of the store!
No Bass Pro Shops would be complete without knowledgeable staff and quality merchandise – and the Branson Bass Pro delivers! Friendly staff members are waiting in every department to answer any questions you might have about fishing, hunting, camping and more. Stroll through the fishing department and admire the vast selection of poles, reels, lures and fly tying equipment. The gun and knife counter is full of quality equipment that you will be proud to own. Browse tents, outdoor cookware, and kayaks in the camping area of the store. Get great outdoor styles in the clothing department; and if you want your home to look like Bass Pro – you are in luck! They have an entire store section dedicated to décor and housewares. Once you’ve finished your shopping, take a lunch or dinner break at the floating White River Fish Company Restaurant just across the way from the store!
You won’t want to miss a trip to the Branson Bass Pro Shops. Rich in history and heritage, you’ll want to return to this unforgettable store more than once!
