Memphis Pyramid (Bass Pro Shops)
Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid
A stainless-steel pyramid about 97 meters tall. The former arena has been converted into a giant outdoor-gear store, and there is an observation deck at the top.
A landmark paying tribute to ancient Egypt's Memphis. It now houses the flagship Bass Pro Shops, with an artificial cypress swamp, fish tanks, a hotel, and restaurants. Take the separate elevator to the observation deck at the top (about $10) for views over the Mississippi River and the Arkansas plains. The store is free to enter, making it a good option on a rainy day.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–21:00 (shorter on Sundays)
