Hemingway's Blue Water Cafe, White River Conference Center, Bass Pro Shops Reviews

This place is huge and there's lots for kids to look at.

Fun place to visit, great selection. Highest prices.

Asked for a 45 lever action . They handed me a pistol. $2.00 bag of candy was 7.99. The other item would not even ring up at register. Told them forget it and left.

A great place to walk around. And bring your dog.. on leash of course

Aquarium & wildlife museum is amazing, but I think it's expensive.

I love this place. Every time we come to Springfield this is a must stop.

Pretty cool. Springfield is where bass pro started.

Bass Pro Shop, Springfield, MO is unlike any other shop in the world! Part museum, part hunting, fishing, part camping, part boat and supplies, all liberally doused with waterfalls, live fish, ducks, alligators and gars. . .

Cool store just to walk through, don't even have to buy a thing. They also do have a lot of items to purchase at fair to higher prices than other places.

Look at this place. Just really look at it. It speaks for itself.

Love just being able to come in and walk around and see all the wonderful views!

I always enjoy this place so many things to do and see

LOVE the Aquarium! So many amazing exhibits for the outdoor/Hunter enthusiast!

With the exception of one or two clearly advanced fish, most of them just float in a semi catatonic state, with a slack jaw expression and vacant stare. Bass Pro? More like bass novice. I truly believe they are trying to pass off regular untrained fish as professional. Really good beef jerky though!

Fantastic service, fantastic products, fantastic prices! Thank you bass pro!

Grandkids love to see the water fall and check out the atvs

We stop by everytime we're in Springfield. The grandkiddos love the store as much as we do.

Fun place to walk around even if you don't purchase anything.

I've never seen so much cool stuff in one place. Its not a quick shopping experience but you can find almost anything to do with the outdoors here and in your favorite shade of camouflage!

Come and be amazed at a Great. and Fun place to visit and shop

I love Bass pro. I could walk around the whole day just looking at things here. They have so many of the higher end hunting and fishing items that most other stores do not have. The prices reflect the higher quality of the items. Also their mounts are amazing. The staff is very helpful also

There is a very nice restaurant there too.

National Headquarters! So much to see. So much more than just Bass Pro. If you're nearby go. See it all! It's worth going to.

Amazing place to be. Forget shopping, you could spend 2 days just looking at all the exists and mounts, but do shop, they'd appreciate it.

We all loved the new museum, it was fun and educational

this is one of the best bass pro's ever!! I loved the aquarium.

Enjoyed the world of wildlife museum and the aquarium

The store is ok if you're a redneck. Wonders of wildlife is enjoyable.

Awesome store. Anything an outdoor sportsman would want!!

This is a must see for any bass pro fan! The store is absolutely unbelievable!

Was disappointed. Are membership was over by one day and didn't realize it had a guest and was not allowed in .

It's BASS PRO for Pete's sake! Even if you don't have deep pockets it's always a great just to gawk at all the cool stuff. I got zero problem as a 60 year old acting like a lil kid when I visit this place. And about 40 minutes away, it's a easy road trip to spend several hours with my wife or son walking around. Thanks BASS PRO for GREAT sensory overload!!

The store itself is beautiful. My husband bought a single coke in a bottle and he was charged $19.60 for the drink on his debit card. He did not notice till he had left the store. . A soon as we got home, we called the Bass Pro office to let them know and we were put on hold for over 30 minutes...we finally hung up and called back.... only to be put on hold for 20 more minutes then disconnected. We had been a supporter of Bass Pro for over 20 years... it's too bad they couldn't give us the courtesy to take our phone call.

We don't have a Bass Pro Shop where we live it's huge

Everyone in the family has a great time whenever we visit.

As a local, this store is the worst. Once you've seen the animals, which most locals do as kids, there is nothing here you couldn't either buy local from Fin and Feather, or cheaper from Walmart. The staff treat locals with indifference at best. If you don't act or look like a tourist they will ignore you. The white hair "gentlemen" behind the fishfinder desk would only answer my questions in a gruff "no" with no additional information. When asked further about a certain fishfinder it was interested in buying he just continued shuffling brochures and watching tourists. When I told him, I'd just use Amazon he shrugged. Go for the animals but don't stay for the shopping. It's a tourist trap selling overpriced products you can get from locals and help your local economy. Jim and Johnny are not champions of nature, they are rich exploiters of it and this is the temple of that exploitation

Anytime we head to Springfield the kids always ask, "can we go to bass pro?" Its a fun place to just walk through and see what they have

This is you usual Bass Pro Shops times about 20 in size. You could spend 2 days seeing everything and it would be worth it. The attention to detail is incredible... stairway ballsters to the gun museum are antique rifles. Unless you look closely, many things just blend in they are done so well. What an amazing place. We drove up from Dallas and it was worth the drive.

This definitely is the Bass pro of all Bass pro s. There is so much to do and see here you could easily dedicate an entire day here. Between admiring all the fancy retail and the museums, I was pretty overwhelmed with only having 3 hours at this place. Definitely a landmark tourist spot in Springfield

This place is huge. In addition to the store there are several small museums inside, many examples of taxidermy, live fish and other animals. We did not have time to see the new aquarium unfortunately.

This was my first visit to Bass Pro Shop and it is awesome! I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area

Love this place. A MUST see if visiting Springdield. Only draw back is the price to get in the Aquarium is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!

Wow! A bit overwhelming, but impressive and enjoyable.

It is a solid retail experience. They have a wide variety of goods and brands with decent pricing. The Wonders of Wildlife is a fantastic experience. It is a little pricey at $40, but you can easily spend three or four hours in there.

Simply Amazing. First time visiting one. Would love to come back when we have more time to explore the entire place.

Was well put together. All the staff was helpful and friendly. Food was yummy in the Hemmingway restaurant.

So many choices! Lots of displays to look at. Love the live turtles and fish.

Found a few interesting gifts. They have decorated nicely

The wonders of wildlife is boring it h as a pet sea life and penguins that about it

Awesome place to go. We ate upstairs at Hemingway's. It was buffet

Great store. Good selection of all things outdoors. Good restaurant also.

SHAME ON YOU BASS PRO SPRINGFIELD.
I have lived in Springfield Missouri for the past 25+ years. Last year my wife and I decided to become full-time RVrs and travel this great country. During all of our travels we have frequently stayed the night at Bass Pro Shops due to the safety and warmth of the staff. We are constantly asked where we're from and we tell them Springfield which brings up how great our Bass Pro store is and the awesome world's of wildlife museum. We came back to Springfield last night after driving NINE HOURS from Mississippi to spend the summer in the ozarks. When we got here at 11:15 PM we decided to stay in the parking lot at our favorite store... Bass Pro. After quietly parking at an out of the way spot we started to eat dinner after a very long day. Then a staff member named "Dwight" knocked on our door and told us that we were not allowed to stay there and needed to pack up and leave. WAIT... WHAT? We politely told him that we had stayed several times in the same place in the past and our friends had done the same. Dwight told us that regardless of this... we had to go. He also stated that if we refused he would have to call an officer. So after coming to realize that we were NOT WELCOME at a company that specializes at outdoor lifestyles.. we packed up and left at 11:30PM to find somewhere to stay. After all these years shopping there and spending countless dollars... it feels like we've been betrayed by the illusion of hospitality. WE WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS STORE AGAIN. SHAME ON YOU BASS PRO SPRINGFIELD.

Make sure you plan this into your trip. Takes a good 3 hours to see everything

What a great candy store! I could spend my life savings there.

I loved this place! I'd never been to one before and ended up spending several hours in there! They have museums and an aquarium inside, it's amazing! I definitely recommend stopping if you have the chance!

If only they put as much time in effort into their employees than they do in the store decorations and attractions.. A+ on attractiveness of the store D on employee customer service, most of the time it seems as if an employee has a chip on their shoulder or something is bothering them. Exceptions to this would be knife department, customer service counters, and the NRA Museum

Very cool! The live attractions are why we come in so often!

I always enjoy going to Bass Pro You gotta check out the huge Buck Bronze upstairs. Pretty Amazing.

Always a fun place to take the kids. I feel like there's always a crowd and everyone is happy to be there. I just can't wait for the aquarium to open.
