The most visited tourist attraction in Missouri is a retail store!

Missouri is the home of Mark Twain’s childhood estate, The Gateway Arch, The Harry Truman Presidential Library of Independence, etc. However, none of these is the most visited tourist destination of the state. The single most visited attraction is in fact a megastore much bigger than the biggest Walmart Supercenter.

That’s right; more people have been visiting Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World than any other attraction in the state. It brings in over 4 million people a year and is the size of almost 7 football fields. The store however, is no ordinary megastore. On top of endless retail items, it contains a public aquarium and an entire slew of recreational choices.
