Wonders of Wildlife - 2018

[Phil Lilley]

I looked for a list of aquariums on their site... none.  They should have one.

I remember quite a few freshwater tanks with Amazon fish, big alligator gars, several bass/crappie/walleye... tanks.  The stream tank where you walk underneath.  But I've never seen Cabela's tanks...

I thought it was a good mix of everything.

I did notice that they're losing some fish.  Some of the tanks were getting a little thin.  But I bet that's an ongoing battle.

If close or desire to see more than once in a year, the conservation pass is the deal. Two trips and money ahead plus 2 extra passes for guests. 

and grandkids...  we've already used it 3 times.

I still have aquarium photos to post. I thought the whole deal was well worth the cost to get in.

Do they have Senior Discount?

While there check out the Firearms and Archery Museums they are Free.

Yeah not sure how trained the aquarium staff is and I'm sure they were told to stock the tanks when it first opened ready or not. I think they lost their huge freshwater ray in the walkthrough tunnel along with I know a few giant crabs.

Did they have an Ozark stream exhibit?  Be neat to see one with the smaller fish in it, sculpins, darters, etc.,

Seems like they do. Smallies, walleye, etc. like right before a stairwell. I think you walk under it too.  Maybe on the way to the lunker pond?  With 2 kids, I’ve been there a few times though I can’t say I’ve seen all of it. Certainly saw what they pointed out ...

great story on the replica cabin about uncle buck and a noodles flathead from the sac.

They don't have a stream exhibit with minnows and darters, but some good freshwater tanks with gamefish and suckers. The most impressive tank to me is the Piranha and Neon and Cardinal Tetra tank with the live plants. I could stare at it for hours

A few marine tanks that I enjoyed. Of course I want to catch every fish that I see.

One thing that I did not like too much was that in there large community tanks they mixed species from all over the world instead of grouping by regions. The smaller tanks did focus on fish that were from the same regions.

Here's a fish on my bucket list. Then there is the goliath grouper !
