Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s Boating Center — Local services in Memphis

A MUST SEE! Amazing restoration of an abandoned beauty! The Big Cypress Lodge is an experience everyone should have. The lodge is breath taking and is an experience I will always remember. I wish it had been around when I had small children. Once you enter the lodge it's a fairy tale. The individual rooms are so comfortable, with hot tubs and separate showers and lots of room to move around. Our room overlooked the store with a balcony, complete with rocking chairs and a table for dining. Other rooms actually have outdoor space where you can enjoy the views of Memphis. Each room comes with 2 bottles of complimentary water everyday, as well as a basket of snacks to enjoy during your stay. Every room has beautiful animals and birds that have been preserved for all to see their beauty and also include an electric fireplace. It's so wonderful, it's hard to put it all into words. It's like camping/glamping without the outdoors. They have the highest freestanding elevator that will allow you to see all of Memphis and also have a wonderful meal or just a drink. Do make reservations for the roof top restaurant or you'll miss out. If you are staying at the lodge you can get tickets free each day to ride the elevator to the rooftop. Everyday is a different adventure and it was honestly the most interesting place I've ever stayed. The rooms include coffee, hot chocolate and a different view every time you walk out of your door. You also have the benefit of the Bass pro shop at your feet They also offer free shuttles to the iconic Memphis stops, but please tip GENEROUSLY? The DRIVER was amazing. All in all, if I was going on vacation, I would go here. Loved it, full spa, best restaurants and the most...

This was my second time visiting and it was awesome! Albeit, Covid affected the visit as everything from the elevator up was closed :( no biggie, there is still so much to do! We stayed in the FLYFISHER Suite which was great! A king bed downstairs and a queen bed in the loft. The interior balcony made the trip. We ate breakfast while watching the fish downstairs. The ambiance is heavenly. Whenever I'm there it feels like home. I can sit in front of the bed and enjoy the fireplace or go downstairs and shop, shoot (they have a gun range on site - bring ammo, there was a shortage), practice archery (another range), learn about waterfowl at the walk through museum, go bowling, or even grab a bite to eat. I don't recommend room service, but you can order a pizza from Dominos and eat it in your room! The bathrooms are breathtaking...think jacuzzi like tub big enough for a 300+ pound man to enjoy and a stand up glass enclosed shower with built in bench - and hot water that never ends. The soaps, shampoos, and conditioners are great. They even provide lotion and they are very generous. Coffeemaker in the room and tea/ hot cocoa upon request. Dont forget to ask for your cookies! Due to Covid it isnt automatically brought to you....you have to ask, but so yummy! The bowling is ok, it isnt a real bowling alley - lanes aren't as smooth and oiled as you'd expect, but it was still fun and you can order food at the bar and eat it...

Ok so this place is great but I think in one day doses. We were in town for two days and threw caution to the wind and spent two nights in the pyramid. The experience was weird, funny, and upsetting. Weird because like seriously what the hell this is one of those very strange places on the planet that are man made and take you by surprise. Like I had no expectations going in and would so recommend it. Funny for the same reasons and just like wow this is America. Upsetting for its casino like environment. You have no clue when inside what time it is outside which is really upsetting and messes with you especially when you stay there for two nights. So don’t stay for two nights, just one. If you want to go to the top, which you should, hangout over by the front desk of the hotel and ask people spending the night if they have extra tickets to the top. They gave us 6 tickets for the two of us. We only went up there twice and gave them away to strangers walking around so...

Also make sure when/if you eat you eat there don't eat at the bottom eat at the top. We had a sub par breakfast that was worse than IHOP at the bottom but the dinner at the top was good.

But the hotel room was very nice and well appointed and I would recommended a stay, just make sure you go outside or you...
