This place was awesome except for one thing. They had 1 bear all by himself. It was obvious this poor creature was lonely and was having an anxiety issue. He or she (not sure which) was pacing back and forth in the same short area wearing the ground down. Made us sick!!! I would have given this place 5 stars if it hadn’t been for that.
Little confusing as to the route. Price was steep.
Wonder place to visit would recommend to everyone!! Lots of detail!!
Once you get in it, good luck getting out under 3 hours, it is a maze. Signs should be placed on the displays, no climbing, touching or banging your hands on the tanks and displays. Parents are not watching their children which makes a tragedy waiting to happen for a child climbing over and falling in a display. I worry about safety issues. Overall it was beautiful. A little overpriced. ....
Took our grandchildren this last weekend, the safari section had very poor lighting in some parts you could not see any of the stuffed animals. The aquarium was by far better and was fun for the grandchildren. The cost of admission was very high at 140.00 for the 4 of us. After living in Omaha and having the Henry Doorly Zoo to visit it's hard to compete with that.
This place is so unbelievable we purchased the yearly pass. Can’t wait to see again and again.
I'm sure the place is neat....but over $150 (with tax) per visit for my family of 4? Kick rocks, Bass Pro. You made us wait for over a decade for this and now this crap? I can take my kids to a state Park and look at real wildlife for free. I can drive them all to St. Louis and go to the freaking zoo for half of what you're trying to charge me. I'm not saying your facility should be free, but come on BP. As a Springfield resident who lives nearby I've been effected on a daily basis by the traffic this cruel joke has created ... read more
BEWARE when ordering tickets online! My mother accidentally bought tickets for today, instead of a later date. There is no way to cancel online after you purchase a ticket. There should be an option to cancel, it's not that hard. I expect a better system from such a large company. She is literally having to walk in to WOW now to try and get it fixed. Customer Service, is sadly, a joke. I called and asked to speak with a manager. No manager to speak with at ticket sales. They can help you purchase a ticket, but can't... read more
So. The Aquarium at Wonders of Wildlife is over-the-top fantastic. In the almost four hours it took to go through it I was amazed at the sheer number of fish and other aquatic creatures. Couple things bothered me and they still do this morning. Included in the aquatic display are a few birds. There is a bald eagle, three sorry-looking owls, and one beautiful egret. They are being kept in conditions fit for fish. It’s dark in that place! No sunlight at all. Tiny cages. The egret was in the beaver display, by itself, ... read more
