Bass Pro Shop / Outdoor World - Concord, NC

As far as North Carolina goes, our state has a lot to offer. Between the beautiful Outerbanks beaches and the grand Blue Ridge mountains, North Carolina has so many great places to visit.  So I was quite surprised recently when I read that Bass Pro Shop in Concord, NC is the number #1 tourist destination in North Carolina.  The massive store is about a 15 minute drive from Uptown Charlotte as well as from the Lake Norman area.  Even if you aren't a hunter or fisherman, the store offers a lot of other great items. I love hiking and every time I go there I can always find something. I will admit though, that my favorite thing at Bass Pro is the huge 22,000 gallon aquarium. I could sit in one of their rockers for hours just taking it in!
