Johnny Morris opened the Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium attached to his flagship Bass Pro Shop, a 350,000 square foot exhibition including 35,000 live fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. With over a 1.5 mile walk through the museum you will experience some of the most realistic habitat dioramas of any museum from N. America, the plains of Africa, and even the Arctic Tundra. Guests will experience aquarium displays including fresh water, salt water, swamps, coastal, and deep ocean. Johnny Morris is a leader in conservation, starting with his personally-started franchise, Bass Pro Shops.
The museum and aquarium integrates advanced technology to inspire and educate its guests. Zanim8tion was responsible for the ceiling projection in the Welcome Theater, incorporating 6 Digital Projection Laser projectors. VIOSO technology was used to auto calibrate the warp and blend for a seamless single image. A 12-minute sunrise from a star-ladened night sky includes birds flying and 7.1 channel audio. Wings VIOSO RX is utilized to playback the 6k pixel resolution screen and the 4K welcome video on the main screen. Triggers are then sent to the 8000lb. sliding door to open and invite guests to start their journey through the museum. The entire sequence is automated and started over to allow for the next group.
