Are you kidding? It's Bass Pro Shops with plenty of parking, sadly it's next to a Costco so good luck. The shop is exactly like the others and that's a good thing. The prices are "what they are" but the shopping experience is worth it or find it elsewhere cheaper, which I do. Clean store, friendly staff and all-around great experience. read more

Never been to a Bass Pro Shop before. It's massive. ALL parking at Tucson Marketplace sucks....literally like a rat's maze. Whoever designed the traffic flow is an idiot.. As soon as I walked through the door was assailed by an associate giving the hard sell on applying for a credit card...hard pass. Ammo prices are high. Went looking for a pair of workboots with the Boa lacing system...they had 1 model. As others have mentioned the lighting does nothing to showcase merchandise, feel is gloomy, and I won't go back. read more

All BPS are beautifully designed, so that is absolutely the case with this one. Unfortunately, the internal 'lighting' is an absolute travesty, and honestly, it's not the norm. Be prepared to enter Tucson's Cave... Up front, I waited a full week for the bugs to be worked out, but still, a week into it, they failed a couple major points which I'll lay out for you (and hopefully Management!) Overall building: 4 Design/Layout: 3 (read why) Prices: 4.5 Easy to check out: 2 Stocked/managed: 4.5 Negatives first: Sooo, what's the deal up with the '3'? Lighting. It's absent. 1) Whomever, in the engineering design of this location thought it would be wise to put undeniably, the worst, minimalist lighting, lighting so bad you can't see products - well and will unequivocally shun people away is because 90% of the building's side areas from the main archway, is poorly lit beyond reason. Seriously. The photos I'm including are ALL edited/enhanced to darken the cave experience and extreme shadows everywhere and at least give some semblance of what's on the shelves. This is an absolute disaster. Honestly, it needs an immediate lighting replacement. With the understanding they were likely trying to make it a 'cool respite' from the AZ sun, even the employees when asked just shrugged their shoulders - in agreement, but obviously didn't want to speak out against the new building. That tells you something... Good luck in the fishing department, take a flashlight with you if you want to find the counter, LOL. 2) So, aside from the cave theme, all departments were bustling with employes, tons of employees in fact, but not one asked me and I witnessed none of them asking, any shoppers if there was anything they could help them find, or direct them or anything. It was shallow. Cold. Uninviting. Not sure why. You could see the dismay, lack of involvement. Hope this changes! 3) Checking out. A disaster that took north of 10 minutes. Needs drastic improvement. Waiting in line, with only two lanes open and lines stretching, I watched a few put down their items and walk out. Another mistake. Seriously. So, I decided to communicate with their management at what occurred. They said, and I kid you not, 'We're trying our best! but thank you!' Huh?? Yes, you read that correctly. 4) Absolutely in THE WORST LOCATION IN TUCSON. I said it. The Round-About and this location is THE WORST possible location, a nightmare of congestion and vehicle collisions just waiting to happen. Trying to get INTO the 'off-ramp' of the round about wasn't the worst. Good luck trying to get out. Again, love the store but this is engineeringly, the worst location, most cramped ONE ROAD IN, ONE ROAD out location! This should and could have been anywhere else in Tucson, but instead, they plant one of THE largest businesses on an already, super-congested, 'round-about' next to Costco? Who didn't think this through?? 5) Size. The store is nowhere the size you expect. Probably because the space is so unbearably cramped but, it is what it is... 6) Gun Counter. What where they thinking? This needs an immediate redesign. You CAN NOT view all the firearms in the glass cabinets without getting DOWN ON YOUR KNEES. This was not thought out, horrible in concept and execution. Every man at the counter grumbled (as did I) that no one can see the firearms in the glass cabinets. Literally. Positives: 1) Stunning, and I mean remarkably beautiful internal design. They spared absolutely no expense on the creatvity, grand hall entrance, gorgeous colors and rustic appeal. I'll even add it the 'Photo-Booth' was a pleasent surprise for holiday shoots, but again, located on the edge of the shoe department, stuck under nearly zero lighting. The overall decor, shelving, pricing and product displacement was top-notch. Unfortunately, the snack bar wasn't opened but when that does, I hope it's open all hours for shopping to pull people together with food. 2) Lastly, the restrooms deserve credit, THEY are lit, spacious and very appealing design. Kudos to that. Overall I'd say, they made a mistake here, several in fact. Cramped parking, if you can even get in here, as the parking lot itself is unbearably way to small for trucks. Let's remind them again, you're GOING to see a majority of TRUCKS here and they failed inexplicably to SIZE THEIR PARKING lot for this. I can see TPD being called quite often for this issue, just wait. But, with its horrible geographic location, small sized building and zero effective driveway and traffic problems, they missed the mark not even having lines get through and customers out - efficiently, and remind you, this was a WEEK after they opened. Not much can be improved on the outside but the inside and Management have a chance to keep customers coming back, despite the hurdles one will have to face getting in and out without dings on your vehicles. I can't even imagine the trial it'll be to get a boat in and out of there... read more

Brand new,clean, friendly staff. this location is smaller than other locations in the US but lots of things to look at. There is a small little cafe in there as well. read more

Large selection with competitive prices with something for everyone... apparel, shoes, camping supplies, boats, scopes, hunting, fishing... list goes on. Opening weekend was pretty impressive as they were staffed really well and everyone was super helpful. They have brought trainers and managers from all over the country to help open and train staff which is good for brand consistency... and I like that this store will be hiring local. The store was clean and well organized. Having lived in the Midwest it is nice to have a familiar store in the area with additional selections plus in my experience with other Bass Pros (and Cabellas) - they usually have adequate knowledgeable staff to answer question. The only drawback is the bottleneck of traffic almost always at the roundabout which was bad prior and during construction and hasn't eased up with the opening. read more

Beautiful new Bass Pro Shops location in Tucson. Today is the grand opening. Lots of vendors set up in the parking lot and celebrity appearances. read more

Some supporters around the outside before the doors open! So excited for the opening! read more

Bass Pro Shop has an amazing selection, reasonable pricing, and high quality gear. That said, store management really needs to step up their game. I waited in line for 45 minutes to purchase my handful of items because only two cashiers were available. The line was at least 100 yards long, and they were barely keeping it together. Some dropped their intended purchases and left. I am surprised that management didn't have the foresight to anticipate a crowd on the stores opening weekend. Getting in and out of the parking lot took some creative planning since the road is shared by Costco, Wal-mart, movie theatre, and several other businesses. It is far easier to buy online, to avoid the circus. read more

no air conditioning, no bathrooms but hundreds of people. why open an incomplete store? the store could use more light to see what we are shopping for. this location is way smaller than the one in phx. their selection of fishing flies was mediocre. sportsmans warehouse has a better selection. read more

Tried several times just to talk to someone in the Fishing Dept, and got nowhere ... guess they are going thru new store chaos.

A few of us went to this new Bass Pro Shop this week. We were immediately impressed when we entered with how large it was and how it was decorated with desert scenes, etc. After we admired the entryway, we went throughout the store and became familiar to how it was laid out. Unfortunately, some of the women's merchandise that we had _specifically looked at online & verified it was in stock at that location_ was nowhere to be found! This was disappointing as was the Lack of Staff. There was a woman by the Hilton booth and another by credit card/greeting area but absolutely no one in the women's clothing area or men's rain wear area during the 2 hour period we were in the store to help us. We drove 35 minutes to visit this new store but based on this experience, we will likely not return again. read more

Of all the places to build this wonderful addition to Tucson, you build in the eyesore down south with one little road for all those businesses. I will never shop here again as I couldn't get out with the massive line of cars blocking the road to get their cheap Costco Gas. Horrible road with nothing but left turns to get out. We should have known with a city council that has destroyed every other potential plus for Tucson, let's make a deal and continue to try to develop this dump. Really too bad as I shop at BPS is Mesa quite often. CAL Ranch it is in Tucson. read more
