Get Acquainted
If you and your groom are sports enthusiasts, Big Cypress Lodge, is the first hotel and event space inside one of the largest Bass Pro Shops locations. Situated in the heart of downtown Memphis, Tennessee inside the newly renovated Pyramid, the Big Cypress Lodge has something for the avid outdoors man or woman as well as tons of fun and activities for the entire family.
Here’s the Scoop
The Bass Pro Shops location is among the largest retail spaces in the world, comprised of 535,000 square feet of a sportsman’s paradise, complete with nearly 600,000 gallons of water features including a cypress swamp with live trees, an 84,000 gallon alligator habitat and multiple aquariums featuring more than 1800 varieties of fish. But the fun doesn’t stop there; check out the 13-lane bowling alley and Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Grill, a perfect spot for the kid in all of us. For more fun partake in alligator feedings, archery, a shooting range and do not miss the 28 story freestanding elevator which takes you to the top where you will find that Bird’s Eye, 360 degree view of the Mississippi River and the Memphis Skyline, which is available from multiple glass observation decks. Don’t forget to make reservations for dinner at The Lookout, a fine dining restaurant surrounding a 10,000 catfish aquarium and live music on the weekend.
