    I love this store, it is like going on vacation for an hour. There are waterfalls, aquariums, Santa, two floors of merchandise and gifts galore! If you are an outdoors person it is heaven. You can buy coffee cups, puzzles, bird houses, stuffed fish and a world of other things.

    Free 4x6 picture with Santa. Highly recommend!

    I found out that bass pro has pictures with Santa for over a month, every day, for free! They give you a free 4 by 6 print out with the option to buy the digital copy and other copies when you get home. You definitely want to make a reservation. They open up at 12:01am for the following week. I also recommend just checking the website for cancellations. I checked on a Saturday night and got a 10:45 am appointment (cancellation) for that Sunday which was perfect. Prior to that I didn't have any luck. The experience there was great. We checked in, waited in a small line and once it hit 10:45 the line moved very quickly. Your time with Santa is very short because he has a lot of kiddos to see and pics to take! He hands out candy canes as well. My son was sadly terrified, but that's ok! Maybe next year. He enjoyed looking at all the toys, the fish in the aquarium, and the dogs they let people bring into their store. This experience definitely made me more fond of bass pro and I'll be stopping in to shop here more often!

    If you an outdoor s person this is your store. We stopped in to purchase a clean er for our cast iron pan. I ended up buying a new pair of rain shoes. The staff was extremely helpful and located the size I needed. Thank you for putting in the extra effort!

    I had never been in a Bass Pro Shop before and let me tell you, did it ever leave an impression! My experience was around Christmas time as I found out I could take my boys to see Santa there with an appointment. The appointment idea was appealing to me as with covid I wanted to limit the exposure my baby had. The Santa experience was awesome! Well organized, not super busy because of the appointment times and cutely decorated! After the visit with the Big Guy, we took a trip around the store. I was so impressed! Amazing displays of outdoor gear, clothing, toys that seemed endless! The store has a fun outdoorsy vibe to it too. We really enjoyed the huge fish tank as well. I felt like we went to the Brookfield zoo without paying the huge entry fee! I felt like the prices here for what I looked at (mainly toys) was on par for other stores, but they even had exclusive items for Bass Pro. I definitely want to come back here again to explore and shop!

    If you are into fishing or outdoor adventure this is the place to go. They have everything you need from gear to apparel. My son also loved the place, seeing those animals. The only thing i did not like is there is a section there were people try to sell you vacation and they are so persistent.

    Man! I love this store! It is one massive adult outdoors hobbies playground and one of the places I can lure the hubs and getting a resounding Yes! without any hesitation. Bought two really awesome pairs of Columbia women's pants from here, prices weren't outrageous as I expected. I thought I would use them for the great outdoors but honestly I have been wearing them to work. Not only are they lightweight and comfortable, but they also have UV protection and are water resistant. The staff are helpful and the fitting rooms are massive. Really good selection of outdoor gear and hobby equipment. Just a really fun place to browse. Easy to get lost here and easy to find a sales person who is willing to help you find an item. I also signed up for a bass pro member credit card and got a 20% discount on my purchases. Winning!!!!

The workers were friendly and assisted me with looking for additional colors for a balaclava. At the store they had a pretty lavender and black one. I really was seeking a cream or grey one. Anyway, may still get the lavender balaclava. It would come in handy while walking the dog on those cold days. This store is locate near parking in Oakbrook mall. Once inside the store there is an array of outdoor clothing, shoes and accessories. I like how trendy the styles were and variety of colors. I was interested in some cute athletic pants that were two toned (Red/pink). I would of tried them on but I was smelly as just finished a hike. I plan to visit Chicago location since I live less than a mile from the Bucktown Outlet. This is a high end store with quality products. That being said the price point is $$$. Products appeared to be durable and clearly a lot thought was put into the design. Thanks Arc'teryx for support local athletic and community groups.

There were a few other customers in the morning so there was plenty of help from the employees, but at busy times I have seen it difficult to get help. We typically stay to the sale rack and can be some really good prices, but other than that can buy things much cheaper at other stores. Took in my bike today because the rear brakes were locked up and was informed that unfortunately their main bicycle technician is out of town and there is about 2 weeks of back log. The gentleman who informed me of this asked me what I was bringing it in for. I said the rear brakes were locked up, so he helped me disassemble it, find where the problem was, and rectified the situation within 5 minutes. Shook my hand and told me to enjoy the summer weather. Will definitely be shopping at Dicks again due to their kindness and the fact that they go above and beyond. Thanks!

    I have been to the bike shop twice in the past two months…read more Unfortunately, the shop experience and service provided were less than great. The first time, I needed to get some cables and housing for a bicycle. I was very specific about getting 4MM SHIFT housing and the correct cables and fittings to make my project complete. I was sold the wrong size housing and fittings by the shop. They unfortunately did not have the time to check what they gave me. They gave me an obsolete 5MM housing, and the wrong fittings. This was not great because I had a bike that needed to be running with the correct parts. So I had to find another solution. I had to get the correct goods from a different LOCAL shop, and I did not feel that I had a great experience for driving over to REI for what was supposed to be the right stuff. Plus I wanted my REI dividend to grow. I had to give them a second chance. Because I wanted to see if I could get the correct service, and parts for my second project. This time I needed some Disc Brake Pads and a Rotor for a bike. I was told that NO One needed to have a rotor as big as I requested... And that there was no way to match my parts. I brought in parts for a Tektro Brake which shares the same Pads as Shimano. However I was left to my own time to look for the parts myself. It was a bummer because I was getting a bike together for my Friends and I needed the correct goods. I had to wait by the counter for more than expected. I was ignored by the other shop members and when confronted by the shop tech, I was greeted with a 'What Do You Want?" Again..I had Zero Hope that I would get the required parts or even a Hello....But here we went. I bought the One part they had in stock, though I suspect that there was more opportunity to bring a polite and productive conversation to the table. None the less...I bought the One part they had and headed to another REI in Chicago to get the rest. However, the fella behind the counter was working on a customers Bike. It was a very good bike. And I overheard the customer complain about bad shifting. I am an experienced mechanic with over 35 years of wrenching to my belt, so I had to politely listen. I listened to this newish sales and mechanic person tell the customer that his bike was fine, and in adjustment. However after listening to the customer complain about his shifting "slipping"... While waiting for someone to help me with my parts needs. I was enjoying the explanation of this mechanic representative to the customer about how he had to lower his power output in order to shift. He told the customer that he had to shift 30 feet before a hill in order to not have a "shift-skip". This is NOT accurate, and I was cringing at the bubbling blather being generated from this fellas mouth. The bikes are built to absolutely undergo stress while shifting uphill. This was not the best advise, as I saw that the bike was mis-adjusted from 8 feet away. I asked very politely and cautiously to help give the customer and mechanic a detail about how to resolve the complaint. They both agreed, as the customer did not seem to believe the employee....I knew it was not the right advise. And so I gave the attention to detail that was not noticed by the employee. The B-Tension was way off....by nearly an inch or 25.4mm. I had pointed that the top pulley of the Rear Derailleur was too far from the cogs in the rear. Thus the chain did not have enough "grip" on the rear cogs to initiate the correct shift clearances and adjustments. The chain only had about 30% of engagement. I advised the customer and tech that the B-Tension was Way off, and the solution would be to adjust the rear derailurer into the correct adjustment by loosening the B-Tension fitting to the correct the adjustment to properly let the chain sit closer to the cogs. This is critical for correct shifting and engagement to make the shifting system work correctly. The customer was Delighted, as I did state that I am also an experienced mechanic. And I was noting the problem that was obvious. Then...the mechanic started giving back an attitude....He put the bike back in the stand, and started giving excuses and the wrong adivise to the customer. I had what I needed from REI and so I left. However, I told the customer to NOT leave without getting the B-Tension adjustment corrected into the factory setting. Not 25mm- But closer to 1-3 mm depending on the bike and other factors including clearance for each situation. The mechanic was not helping, and became "Whiny-Sensitive" after my attempts to add some Value and Experience to Both. I purchased what I needed from REI, but to be Honest...The Staff is Severely Under Trained. The ability to fix a BIKE is pretty easy if you follow the training and methods in order to make everything sing correctly together. However...REI has not figured out how to make this work.
