Fish Feeding Twice a Week!
Join us every Wednesday night at 7:00 pm, as well as every Saturday at 1:00pm, for one of our most popular events. Both kids and adults will enjoy our regular schedule of live fish feeding at our main fish tank, located on the bottom floor near our Tracker boats. *** On Saturday's only, you may even be chosen to be our honorary fish feeder of the day! *** Registration is open for children aged 5 -12 and is located by our main aquarium.
The store offers 180,000 square feet of outdoor excitement including the area's largest selection of quality gear for fishing, hunting, camping, boating and marine. Much more than a hunting and fishing store, however, Bass Pro Shops also offers equipment for hiking, backpacking, outdoor cooking and more. Shoppers will find outdoor apparel for men, women and children, along with a fine selection of outdoor, casual and athletic footwear. A gift and nature center serves up a wide variety of outdoor-related items from lamps and dishes to bird feeders and furniture.
The nearly 13,000 square-foot Islamorada Fish Company restaurant (pronounced 'eye-la-mah-rah-dah') will feature fresh seafood entrees, smoked meats and wild game, rotisserie broiled fowl, great steaks and more all in a relaxing '
Known for bringing the outdoors indoors, a typical Bass Pro Shops retail store features over 3,500 area antiques and artifacts, up to 400 trophy fish and wildlife mounts and many grand murals depicting scenes reminiscent of the area making it a true destination experience.
Interested in learning a new outdoor skill or improving existing ones? Watch for the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor Skills Workshops schedule. These are free classes that will be offered on a regular basis and will include topics like outdoor cooking, nature photography, fly fishing, camping, archery and more. Widely recognized for their efforts in conservation and outdoor education, Bass Pro Shops has received more conservation awards than any other outdoors retailer.
Free Outdoor Adventure Tours
Have a school, daycare, church group or organization that would like to have a tour of Bass Pro Shops? We conduct free tours of the store for small groups interested in the outdoors. During the tour we will give a brief insight into the history of Bass Pro Shops. We bring the outdoors in. It is a wonderful opportunity to see and discuss the wild animals in a way that many people may never have the chance to experience. We try to instill the importance of wildlife conservation while providing you with a fun experience in our store.
For more information or to schedule your group outing, please contact us at 816-795-4307. Please note, tours are booked a month in advance.
