Notes

What sets Angler’s Lodge apart is its deep integration with Bass Pro Shops’ outdoor legacy, founded by Johnny Morris in 1972. It’s not just a hotel—it’s a gateway to world-class attractions like the 500,000 sq ft Bass Pro Shops (4M visitors/year), 350,000 sq ft Wonders of Wildlife (#1 new attraction 2017), and Big Cedar Lodge (#1 Midwest resort). Emphasis on conservation supports national wildlife efforts. Pet-friendly policies, family perks (e.g., discounts, events like photos with Santa/Easter Bunny), and Ozark adventures (golf, boating, nature trails) make it unique. Hollister offers exclusive Big Cedar access, while Springfield is attraction-central. Ideal for multi-generational trips combining relaxation and excitement.
