Stuffed Moose on Display.

One of my favorite places to visit when passing thru town. This outdoor store has just about everything you need to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

Educational aquarium

It's such a large store! I love that they have an aquarium and a play shooting range. You could spend some time with the kids here. Plus at Christmas time, they have free pictures with Santa!! They also have an actual archery range too.

OMG .. this place is a complete paradise for Hunters and fisherman . Beautiful layout and they have pretty much EVERYTHING YOU NEED .! Hands up for that , however there aren't a lot of associates to help you , we had to go around the store trying to find someone and even the registers there were only 2 open . Aside from that is definitely a great place to check you .

It's always fun to stop here! Great for families as there is an aquarium and wildlife on display. The kids can learn while having fun. They carry all kinds of things, from camping to boating/fishing to hunting as well as clothing for the whole family, foods & seasonings, kitchen equipment, snacks... so many items! This visit had us shopping for a meat grinder for hubby's birthday. He's been wanting to make his own sausage and Cabela's has a huge selection of meat grinders at all different price points. He likes the 1/2 hp commercial grinder that comes with a sizeable feeding tray as well as attachments for filling sausage casings.. Apparently this is a popular model as they were sold out. The reviews were good so that makes sense. We'll order it online. Hubby is excited to get started! Lots of accessories for the grinder, too! And butcher paper to make it look professional! Heheh I know, but it's still cool! Nearby is a section that has seasoning kits for sausage. Not just one type of sausage either! Bratwurst, sweet Italian, maple breakfast sausage, Andouille... You can buy the casings here as well. Cabela's carries pretty much all we need to get started (with the exception of the meat - lol). The staff member who assisted us was friendly & helpful. The store is always immaculate and fun to browse.

I wasn't able to edit my post so I wanted to add that management-NEVER DID respond to my letters or calls on this issue.

Cabela's is a welcome mega sized Outdoor Sporting Goods store in East Hartford. The first anchor store of what's hoped to shopping destination right off route I-84. Placed above the historic Pratt & Whitney Rentschler air field. Cabela's is fun to visit, especially with your Wee Ones, with their immense indoor wildlife exhibits and fish aquarium. Beyond that you can literally wander the store for hours. All enthusiasts: Hunters, Fishermen, Campers, Boaters, Hikers, Motorized Trail Riders, Back Country Life, and Venturous Chefs. The only game I shoot is with a camera, but that doesn't matter here. Their clothing and outdoor accessories, such as, binoculars, high powered optics, backwood gear & chow make the Shutter Bug experience more comfortable and worthwhile. My favorite find here at Cabela's has been their Dehydrators along with outdoor smokers & cooking gadgets. I jumped headfirst into a whole new hobby. My first dehydrator, which sported 12 racks ran almost nonstop. It well outlasted it's warranty and now I'm onto my second dehydrator of similar specifications, but with a few design improvements. So if you have sometime to browse, drop by and enjoy. Who knows you might find a new hobby to distract you from your sofa!!!

Came here a few weeks ago on a Saturday to check it out since we had some gift cards and have never been here. We were really excited that we would be in the store at the same time as the kids craft event, but it was like basically painting your name on a rock. Upon entering, our son (2.5) was a bit scared of all of the animals, but he eventually warmed up to them. The store has a great variety of everything for your outdoorsy needs with sectioned mapped out for different areas. The fudge was pretty phenomenal, the smell alone lures you in to get some. Basically, I would have rated the experience with 4 or 5 stars with the exception of this: My husband happens upon a counter/case of Oakley sunglasses that he has been hoping to get for awhile now. He asks if they could open the case for him so that he could try on a few pairs. With each pair he tries on, the person helping him uses a glass cleaner and wipes down the pair. (Now we can only imagine how many times each pair has been worn and cleaned and the process repeated, etc.) So he ends up falling in love with one pair specifically. When they go back to the counter and see if there is a brand new untouched pair, they are out of stock...they are are also out of stock online with no date of restock available. They called Bass in Bridgeport, they are out of stock as well. I suggested well if that is the only pair, they shouldn't have it out for potential customers to want to buy or perhaps they could discount it for us since everyone and their brother has touched it. The associate calls her manager who tells her that they won't honor that. The manager suggests over the phone to go to Sunglass Hut instead! a bit unbelievable... and would you know, we went there and bought them there instead, thanks for the referral! I think we'll try to go us the gift cards at Bass next time.

Just an incredibly FUN place to visit. I am most definitely not an outdoorsman, so the camping and hunting and fishing stuff are not something I'd ever need. But holy crap is it fun to walk through the aisles and gawk at all of that. I mean, seriously its just amazing to see al of the very cool stuff being sold. They are a great place to bring kids who will be mesmerized (if not terrorized) by the jaw dropping variety of taxidermied wildlife on display -bears, lions, tigers and a massive elephant. And don't miss the huge fish tank display on the first floor. And don't forget to drive by Rentschler Field (it kind of shares the parking lot with Cabela's) -it will be a cool day for the kiddies. They sell a lot of clothing, at decent prices. They have a huge General Store with all kinds of food products. And of course they have a cafeteria on the second floor that sells things like Elk burgers, bison burgers, and ostrich or boar sandwiches. I had an ostrich sandwich (sounds a little like a Groucho Marx joke) which looked and tasted exactly like roast beef. It's really a great way to spend a few hours.....

I am never disappointed when coming to this location. The service and sales team are awesome. Anything I needed from the moment I walked in I was shown to . I didn't have to look for help at all. Before I even stepped inside today I had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Faddy's Donut truck parked right outside with some of the best donuts around. I had to buy a Maple Walnut . Inside Cabelas I was fascinated by the boats perched upfront with very good prices. I am definitely coming back to check them out. I was offered to sign up for the Mastercard today ,so I did do that simple 5 minute process and in turn got a Free hat,cooler and multi-tool for signing up. There is alot of fun for kids here surprisingly they have a few areas to walk thru like a mini aquarium stuffed with large fish to Wow the little ones. Also deer and bison displayed in their natural habitat. You can get fudge here made fresh and they do have a Cafe opening late Sunmer due to the precautions in 2020. You can get everything for camping, hunting,fishing,hiking and so on all in one store. The ATVs were very nice and good prices. I will definitely be back again !

Here's why there is a 4 star rating for the restaurant; most in store restaurants are nothing more than beaneries. The only consistent items on the menu are the soft drinks in the cans. Otherwise it's a gamble. Ordered a burger, medium rare. There's an impressive selection of cheeses to add, besides the usual; tomato, onion, etc. I saw a raw patty put on the grill and delivered medium rare! It came with fries and a large soda. The fries were crisp. There are the usual condiments, several kinds of mustard, BBQ sauce to add to the burger. For $8.50 it was as good or better than some diners. I've shopped through mail order for decades with Cabela's and since they opened stores in PA and Connecticut I've shopped in store. Shopping in store is a great visual and educational experience for children. For an adult with a credit card, it's like being a child in a candy store. A dangerous thing. I can only say positive things about Cabela's.

See all
