The worlds largest free standing elevator takes you up to a sky deck view and a restaurant. They also have alligators waiting for you at the bottom if the elevator ever breaks. If you are in Memphis and have never been to a Bass Pro you will be disappointed by every outdoor store you visit after this one.

At the back of Johnson park is an appx. 1 mile long board walk that runs out to the Wolf River. I grew up riding the board walk on my bike and walking it.... weekly. I absolutely love this trail and recommend for any date or outdoor exercise.

Believe it or not, Memphis has one of the most highly rated Zoo’s in America. We are proud of the zoo and thankfully they never stop expanding and improving. Based on the season, they host events all year long like starry nights, zoo boo, etc. IF you’ve never been, I highly recommend for a date or family outing. My personal favorite are the grizzly bears and wolves.
