For decades, the Peabody Hotel has been the top lodging in The Bluff City, famous for
it’s twice-daily “Duck March.” But suddenly the Peabody is not the only Memphis hotel
featuring water fowl. April 29th saw the city’s biggest grand opening in years, Bass Pro
Shops at the Pyramid, a Vegas-style architectural fantasy that combines a huge Bass Pro
retail store, the Ducks Unlimited Water Fowling Heritage Center museum, a 32-story high
outdoor observation deck, the 120-room Big Cypress Lodge hotel, and the Cypress Swamp
Waterfowl Habitat. An ode to the nearby Mississippi River Delta, the “swamp” occupies
much of the ground floor, with ponds, streams, tanks and aquariums, spanned by footbridges
and showcasing a floating selection of fishing boats. The waters are full of live ducks, catfish,
sturgeon and even alligators.
The one-time basketball court has been replaced with 600,000 gallons of water features
containing around 2,000 fish, ultra-realistic faux cypress trees towering 100 feet in the air and
dripping Spanish moss, and endless animal mounts. In the very middle of it all, the world’s
tallest freestanding elevator glows in neon as it rises to a restaurant and observation deck.
The Bass Pro concept is retail as theater, but even by its standards, the pyramid is over the
top. Families scramble in and out of boats tied up at indoor docks, the main restaurant has an
undersea-themed full-sized bowling alley with ball returns shaped like octopi and life-sized
fiberglass great white sharks hanging overhead, while the store contains separate shooting
and archery ranges. Many visitors come just for The Lookout with its unique perspective and
views of the river, Mud Island and downtown Memphis.
MEMPHIS IS GOINGTOTHE BIRDS.
