I can't say that I have a need to visit Bass Pro Shops often, but I recently went for a visit to…read morefind a Christmas gift for my dad. I was impressed by the selection of fun unique gifts for both adults and children. I had my toddler with me and he thought it was basically an amusement park in there. He loved looking at the fishies in the large aquarium tank. This particular location is not as impressive as other Bass Pros I've been to, nor did I experience any helpful staff. I was also approached by a salesman for Hilton Grand Vacations (I guess this is a new partnership with BPS) trying to sell me hard on a vacation package lol. I think by the 3rd "NO" he got the hint. But I did discover the best kept holiday secret for parents EVER... This time of year they have a Santa's Wonderland experience set up including a little workshop/craft area for the kiddos, plus photos with Santa. The best part is that there was zero line for Santa pics and your visit includes a FREE 4x6 photo and shareable video. What a steal! You can book a reservation online, but as I mentioned there was not any line when we were there around 4:30pm on a Sunday. I'm glad I discovered that they offer this and will definitely keep it in mind for the future.

It's free and you get a 4 x 6. You can upgrade your package, but you'll get the 4 x 6 to take home for free. This year the Santa was so friendly and took care of my two-year-old who is too scared to sit on his lap. He offered several suggestions of different ways to sit and finally we were able to get a picture where he was looking. My husband was so happy! (Haha) We have fun every year and we think that it's a really great experience for families who are looking for a photo with Santa and also a free 4 x 6 to take home. Pro tip you can book your spot online but there's also walk-ins if you have time to wait.

I was really disappointed after visiting this North Face location. The store was neat and orderly,…read moreeven on a Saturday in November. The clothing sold there seems to be of a good quality, but is seriously overpriced, especially for an outlet. One men's rain jacket was about $600 - that was the "sale" price!! And it was a thin jacket, not a heavy duty winter coat. I have no problem paying for high quality clothing, but this store has items priced several times higher that they should be - especially at an outlet when they are supposed to be having early Black Friday sales. I'll be checking online for better deals around Black Friday and see how it compares with their outlet prices. At this store you are definitely paying for the name when several other companies sell the same products at a fraction of the price.

This family-owned business consistently goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. They offer a fantastic selection of outdoor gear, men's and women's clothing, and an impressive variety of shoes for hiking, running, walking, and more. They also have an outlet store on Ronald Reagan. I have not been there yet, but I can tell you that they have a lot of name brands, highly discounted, and right now the Hoka Speed Goat 5s are on sale for an awesome price. A special shoutout to Rambo, a very knowledgeable young man and an Eagle Scout, who went out of his way to help me find the perfect hiking shoes. I was torn between the Hoka Speed Goats and Topos, but thanks to Rambo's expertise, I ultimately chose the Topos. They even brought several pairs of the Hokas over from their outlet location to the main store for me to make a decision, which was amazing. I highly recommend Travel Country for all your outdoor needs!

This business has operated since 1971, and it sells clothing, outerwear, footwear, outdoor gear (e.g., backpacks, kayaks, and tents), etcetera. Dozens of brands are available, including my favorites of ECCO, Marmot, The North Face, and Wigwam. According to Google, Travel Country Outfitters had a particular jacket in stock at the lowest price--The North Face Venture 2 Jacket for $60 plus ground shipping for $10. The next day, this business shipped my package. Three days later, UPS delivered the package to my home. I really like the style, color, and quality of the jacket, and I look forward to wearing it. Travel Country Outfitters does not sell all of the brands and styles that I prefer, but I would definitely consider buying from them again in the future.

Baseball season is here so we stopped in to look for some batting gloves. Selection is fair,…read morehowever, pricing was $10 more for the same brand pair we just bought at the competitor down the street. There were no customer service people in that particular section, but we found it pretty quick since it was in the front of the store. We ended up with a purchase from the gym equipment section and found check out to be pretty quick. The cashier was friendly and asked if I had phone number registered for rewards which I did. He asked if I wanted my receipt which I appreciated since not all places do that. Location of the store is not the best as it is tucked back in the Milennia plaza where there is a lot of traffic. But its a good place to shop if you know exactly what you need and don't mind paying higher prices.

Sadie at REI Winter Park is exceptional…read more She spent over an hour helping my fiancé prepare for a hiking trip to Costa Rica, carefully explaining the differences between trail shoes and guiding her to the right option for the terrain she'll face. Her knowledge was impressive, but what stood out most was her attention to fit -- she evaluated width, length, and even recommended going up half a size based on the shoe's construction and the demands of long hikes. She doesn't work on commission. She simply cares about getting it right. Sadie is exactly the kind of professional who keeps us coming back to REI.

In a recent time I finally decided I would invest in som hiking shoes, so it was really nice to have help from an employee when I chose several pairs, and then she brought out and extra pair that she said are more comfortable, and well I ended up purchasing that extra pair, thanks to her thoughtfulness. They have just about everything you need here for your backpacking, camping or hiking trip. But it can certainly get spendy. It's all the super high quality brands here so the price does not budge. There's a few sales here and there but that's why I wouldn't shop here so often. But once in a while it's nice and even to get inspiration for outdoors adventures. Something else cool about REI is they offer classes to members & nonmembers to teach you about backpacking, survival tips, and how to prepare for certain trips. I'm taking a free class for how to prepare for summiting Mount Everest Base Camp, how cool!

If you're looking for outdoor attire and have considered buying Columbia brand clothing at another…read moresporting goods store, then you must stop in here. Things that typically go for $50-$60 at these other stores were on sale for $30. I was disappointed that one shirt I was looking at was unavailable in my size. I asked the gentleman working and he said that's all they had on that one. A few minutes later he brought me another shirt that was a similar color, but different style. It was perfect! I ended up like that one more. He pointed out a few other colors as well. He was very helpful but didn't seem like he appreciate the big hug I gave him. Oh well! I misread that one completely. It's a pretty big store with lots of clothing options and shoes/boots too. Their clearance prices are amazing for their brand and will definitely be back here if I'm in need of more hiking attire. They were also helpful during checkout for their rewards program. They had plexi-glass blocking so no awkward hug decision necessary. Great selection and super helpful and friendly staff.

But now, it makes total sense that it would be found in shop dedicated to surfing and other similar sports like skateboarding. This store reminded me a lot of Pac Sun but with the actual boards for sale as well--including wet suits! The clothing was cute and very ocean-esque. Boardshorts (about $30), bikinis, bathing suit cover-ups, sunglasses, flip flops, etc. were all present and well displayed. Most items bared the Rip Curl brand name but some were other well known lines like Rainbow sandals. Divided in half, one side of the store was dedicated to men and the other women with a few areas that both sexes would enjoy such as the wall of backpacks. And for $19.50, girls could purchase a sexy purple t-shirt that says, "Rip Curl Orlando," to mark your journey here. It's a nice store if you are a beach bum. And if you're not as dedicated to the waves, you can still enjoy the ambiance--Ben Harper on the stereo, and the idea that summer goes on forever.

Had some deals, but we were not at all impressed with the staff today at the front counter. While we waited in line, 3 employees were arguing with each other in full view of the customers, something about some coupon on an iPhone I could tell one girl was getting really upset. The whole time there was a small line of customers waiting to check out. Whatever - eventually the one girl walks away, clearly flustered. We proceed to check out. The girl wearing the cowboy hat asks us very fast "cash or card" like hurry the hell up. "Card" we reply. She then just angrily points at the counter for us to place our items to buy. She rings us up like a robot, clearly pissed at something. Then she takes the same iPhone from the argument earlier and shoves it in my wife's face. "Email!" she says. My wife asks why do you need my email? "You won't get a receipt without it" That's fine, we are 3K miles from home, we like what we bought and we certainly aren't returning it. Also we can read the 50 signs spread out throughout the store "ALL SALES FINAL - NO RETURNS" and we are totally fine with that, no problem. Wife says, no thanks I don't want to put my email in you guys probably already have it anyways", her: "you won't get 10% off, 15% off, you get no receipt!" Really? Since when? That attitude and pure disdain displayed to us clearly shows she hates her job. I get it, people have rough days, but after witnessing how she treated her fellow employee in front of customers and the rudeness displayed to us, I felt the need to write this review. Not an asset or good ambassador for our beloved hometown Nike. Do better, Just do it. Terrible customer service.
