An amazing place for adults and children. We live local so we purchased the membership as we feel we will go multiple times with guests. We toured a few weeks ago for the first time. I am very appreciative of the work, the money, and passion that went into WOW. Thanks for the military/discounts for those who served like my husband. Yesterday, we took our 8 grandchildren who were in town for Spring Break. It did not disappoint at all for the children and even though we had been previously it was still amazing. We chose the... read more

My husband and I went Sunday. Hadn't planned to go because the parking lot was so full and we thought it would be too busy. After we got into Bass Pro and went through the race car museum we saw it really wasn't that busy. It's amazing! Need to go back soon when we have more time! And we went ahead and bought the annual family pass. What a great deal!! Gets all your kids and grandkids (under 18) in and two adult friends....for free all year!!

This attraction was off the beaten path, and a little pricey, but definitely worth it. Creative multilevel aquariums that are viewed from multiple sides and floors. Immersive environments are truly creative. One suggestion, there were displays of animals that used interactive computer displays to explain what you were looking at, but some displays were cryptically un-labeled. (animal dispalys and the like) some signs explaining what we were looking at.

I visited the Wonders of Wildlife aquarium Sunday, and, well, WOW! The years of renovations absolutely paid off. Amazing aquarium set-ups and a wonderful variety of creatures made this a feast for the eyes. (I was especially delighted to see the bats and frogfish.) However, WoW could be more of a feast for the brain. I'd love to see more signs identifying and giving information about the animals. While the iPads stationed in front of some of the larger displays were a good idea, they didn't give anywhere near a complete list... read more

This place was absolutely amazing! Our parents have season passes and we decided to go on a Saturday. Beautifully decorated and. very enjoyable. The only reason I didn't give a five star is because the resteraunt we were at by the aquarium didn't have enough seating or enough space to eat and enjoy. We had to ask several tables to see if we can use their chairs. Aside from that, we plan on going again soon! I had two 15 year olds with me including a 5 year old and enjoyed it. Loved the sting rays!! We had made wonderful memo... read more
