3 new physical halls of fame open with Wonders of Wildlife

Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium opened on Sept. 22 and along with it came three new physical halls of fame.
Located within the big new attraction in Springfield, Missouri, are the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, International Fishing Hall of Fame and the National Archery Hall of Fame.
By my count, there are now more than 400 physical halls of fame you can visit in the U.S. And that count does not include high school halls of fame, which are basically just trophy display cases.
The Wonders of Wildlife is the passion project of Bass Pro Shops founder and CEO Johnny Morris, who is a leading conservationist.
The attraction features a 1.5-million-gallon aquarium and showcases 35,000 live fish, mammals, reptiles and birds. It also houses a large collection of record-setting game animals in immersive wildlife galleries and dioramas.
The 320,000-square-foot facility is located next to the Bass Pro Shops National Headquarters.
