Why you should go…

This 321-foot pyramid on the Mississippi River opened in 1991 as a sports arena and reopened in 2015 as a Bass Pro Shops megastore. Inside you walk past an indoor swamp with cypress trees, alligator pools and aquariums, plus a bowling alley, restaurants, an archery range and the Ducks Unlimited Waterfowling Heritage Center. A 28-story freestanding elevator climbs to a glass-floored observation deck. Walking in is free, while the elevator ride carries a fee.
