No they are on Taneycomo river where you go fishing for free food  . Just kidding 😂 LOL Yes restaurant is on the 3rd floor take the elevator to it on the south west side building where hunting clothing and weapons are and  the restaurant is directly above the Camping department is. There are salt water 🐠🐟 fish aquariums there you can watch while waiting for your food orders.

Branden T · Answer

No, they moved it back to the parking lot.

Peter Erickson · Answer

Yes, Hemingway's is inside Bass Pro Shops. The easiest way to get to Hemingway's is not through the Bass Pro "Grand Entrance" off Campbell, but through the South side parking lot off of Cherokee Street.  Enter through the Cherokee St. entrance; take the elevator to the 4th floor; exit to the right.

I recommend always checking the website the day before and the day of, especially if you're coming in from out of town.  Sometimes they close for private events, with little to no notice.  The website should (usually) be updated at least the day OF.

Yes, but please be respectful. The other day my son and I were shopping for some duck decoys to train our dog to fetch water fowl and another customer had their dog on a 15 ft lease and her dog kept jumping on us and climbing on the shelf where we were shopping. This was super annoying!

Trista Blackflame · Answer

Yes but please be sure your dog is well behaved (specially with children) and on a leash at all times.

If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or triggers, it's probably best to leave the pup at home.

Question 14

Is the aquarium open yet

Trista Blackflame · Accepted Answer

The aquarium and the historical tour are both open. They are both AMAZING.

Plan on an entire day for this trip. We have averaged about 6 hours each time we have gone for just the aquarium and another two or so hours for the historical side. All in all, totally woth the time and admission fees.

If you plan on going regularly or have a large family, look into the conservation pass. It will pay for itself in no time.

Pam Rose · Answer

The aquarium is awesome!  We were there with 6 children for 4 hours and it wasn't long enough.   Plan on another visit without my grandchildren so I can spend more time.  They were so thrilled we had a time keeping up there was so many things to see.  It's worth every penny and more admission the kids were thrilled.  Great learning experience!

Ronald Gardanier · Answer

yes. It's  $30.00 a person. takes about 2 1/2 hours to go through. Very nice the way it is set up. Amazing place.

Mike Kramer · Answer

Yes it is open and awesome but be ready for a walk

Jerry Stilwell · Answer

It is an awesome place to see. But you can't cover all the bases in one day. Best to take a couple of days or more. You'll have a blast. ENJOY!!!!

Yup

Dan Crafts · Answer

They have a wide selection of mens and women's insulated boots. Also good to look at the retail discount center next door to the main store.

Candi Marcott · Answer

Question 16

Why is Bass Pro charging a ridiculous amount for their aquarium? Families can't afford to pay those high prices.

kory p · Accepted Answer

I said the same thing, then I went through.  The exibit is worth every dime and then some.  Its hard to explain without giving it all away but it is so much more than just an aquarium.

Brody McPhail · Answer

$15 for museum

$30 for aquarium

$40 for both

Senior discounts

Kids under 2 free. That's about as much as you'll pay for most aquariums life that. Non-profit so all the proceeds go to staffing and upkeep.

Would buy it somewhere else but you could go there and figure out what you like or what you want. I did that and what I thought I wanted was not what I ended up with!

Question 19

Why doesn’t Bass Pro have a store of some kind in Warsaw Missouri.? Huge lake and lots of hunting and fishing. Looks like a small store would be good here.

Tom Spurgeon · Accepted Answer

While I am not expert in how Bass Pro determines WHERE to place their stores, I do “believe” they offer a program that will enable small tackle shops to carry items from their store - and make available other larger items like boats, trail riders, etc. - it’s up to each tackle shop as to whether they participate, or not… Warsaw offers great fishing opportunities in the area!!!

Beverly Miller · Answer

Probably not important to have one at the small location

Brian Wilson · Answer

Population is too small would be my guess.

Timothy Owings · Answer

They don't build small Bass Pro Shops, their a huge business. It would be nice, they might not want to compete against the Springfield Missouri store.

Joyce Weldon · Answer

Not sure, but know the one in Springfield is huge. Can't see everything. I understood the owner lives there.

Question 20
