Family Summer Camp At Bass Pro Shops Kids Activities Blog

0 Shares

We always have fun visiting Bass Pro Shops. We can’t seem to go there without staying for a few hours. There is so much to see and do – plus it’s air conditioned which is so important during these hot Texas summers. My kids especially love the GIANT fish tank and humongous waterfall overhead.

And now there’s one more reason to hang out at Bass Pro Shops. Every summer, Bass Pro Shops puts on some great FREE activities for kids and families. They offer activities such as a shooting gallery, shooting range, casting pond, crafts, s’mores, and even a photo of yourself on the cover of Field and Stream magazine. They also offer free workshops. Be sure to pick up your FREE 52 page summer fun guide while you’re there!

She Is Dallas info: Bass Pro Shops is located at 2501 Bass Pro Drive in Grapevine. For more information, please call them at 972-724-2018 or visit the Bass Pro Shops website.
