A visit to a department store in New Jersey usually means everything you need under one roof – but that doesn’t usually include waterfalls and aquariums! That is, unless you’re paying a visit to Atlantic City’s wildest store, Bass Pro Shops. Part of a nationwide chain of massive sporting and fishing supply stores, these stores are known for their larger-than-life Pacific Northwest vibe, celebrating the great outdoors, and the Atlantic City location is no exception. Not only will you find stunning dioramas and every specialty item you can imagine, but you’ll find a unique aquarium overlooked by the most beautiful private waterfall in New Jersey. I was amazed the first time I stepped foot in here, and it’s no surprise that many outdoors-loving people keep coming back time and time again.

Bass Pro Shops has a reputation as both an amazing supply store for hunters and fishermen, and an attraction in its own right.
