WOW: Wonders Of Wildlife Museum

May 2, 2022 Springfield MO

We spent the whole day in the Wonders Of Wildlife (WOW) museum and Bass Pro Shop (BPS). WOW was created by the founder of BPS and has a decidedly pro-outdoorsman prospective, which is refreshing. The museum has a world renowned aquarium and a natural history section. In addition, BPS houses the National Rifle Association (NRA) museum and a few other federations’ museums as well. Quite the experience! Are you enjoying acronym day?

Government sponsored museums no longer give credit where credit is due. Nor do they try to inspire youth to appreciate the sportsman way of life.

Teddy Roosevelt is my Ted’s namesake.
Inside the store. The place is huge, so yes, there is room for merchandise in addition to statues
See, a painted ceiling, a bunch of deer heads, and below that, some merchandise.

The bear that Teddy Roosevelt shot is behind me.

We had a full day and headed to our timeshare in Branson.
