Full day - shopping for the outdoor family Holly cow is this store big and warrants a full day. In fact make it a full day you will regret it if you don't take your time. Take the kids, they will be fascinated with the fish tank. The size of fish in that tank are huge and a special sight to see. They have guest speakers all afternoon. There is so much to learn from the pros. Listening to the techniques and tools of their trade made me focus on what is really important to purchase to be successful. Lots of topics and good interaction with the speakers. The selection is HUGE. Not even sure where to start as there is so much stuff. I found everything I needed for my next outing and had such a great time see all the specialty equipment I want next. Really nice good quality and very very smart people working there. I hold a high bar for quality customer service and they met it, answered all my questions and made sure I understood all the details of the equipment I was selecting. Hats off to the management for bringing together such a great team. I also saw a safety hunting class going on. So you new people check it out and feel comfortable. You are new to the sport and that's OK. I think it is best to be up front with the store so this outstanding team can help you by answering all your questions and help you get the right equipment. Very good. Snack center. - They have fudge and the kids love it. read more

I just picked up the handgun I purchased a couple of weeks ago! Jerry and his staff at the gun counter Rock! Thank you guys for making the purchasing process go smooth and without any issues! read more

This place is so much fun! Drop by and shop or even just to check it out is exciting. Theres so much to see. I love how they have the big fish tank filled with fishes so little kids enjoy looking at it. Theres tons of stuff in every activity or sport you can think of. Store is clean and the employees are friendly wish there was one in the bay. read more

We made the trip to Manteca to check out Bass Pro Shop's camping supply selection, and while I was a bit disappointed in their selection, I have to bump this review up a star because the place is just rad. Seriously, it's like REI meets RC Wiley in decor - very outdoorsy with questionably authentic stuffed animals everywhere. The perhaps real/perhaps faux taxidermy is either scary or cool, and to this moment, I haven't decided which. This place is two stories, and there is an actual fish pond next to the elevators and waterfalls near the stair case. It's pretty cartoonishly cool, and I saw a lot of kids looking pretty mesmerized by the scene. Regarding selection, it seems like they have at least one of just about every single outdoorsy thing you could think of, but they don't have five options of the same item to compare. For example, we wanted to buy some simple cookware to go with our new (purchased elsewhere) camp stove, and I was a little disappointed in the selection. The prices were OK, and we did end up picking up a little cooking set. I think I just expected more to choose from, given the gigantic size of the place. Maybe my expectations were just unreasonable. Anyway, I would definitely come back just because it makes you feel cool to shop there, but you're probably not going to find any magic there that you couldn't find in an ordinary sporting goods store - at least nothing so magical that you'd want to drive to Manteca (from Sacramento) to buy it. Of course, this is just related to camping supplies, and I don't know about more obscure outdoorsy things like actual bass fishing or paintballing or whatever. Perhaps this really IS Mecca for those folks. I wish Sacramento had one of these stores. If so, I'd probably frequent this place for camping gear just because the store is such a cool place to be, but I'm not sure it's worth the drive for ordinary gear. read more

If you're looking for ammo and firearms good luck! They've been understaffed since they opened and with the new ammo/gun laws in this state Bass Pro still didn't do anything to make it more efficient. And with the pandemic the store once again hasn't reacted. There was little to no directive as to where to go to purchase ammo and firearms. And I had to wait over an hour and a half to buy ammo because they only had ONE that's right! ONE PERSON! This is the last time I'm shopping there! I'd rather pay more somewhere else than spend money at this store! read more

I don't understand why masks are not worn at this store. Some customers wore them and some staff had them around their neck. But general staff and customers did not wear them. New CA regulations require masks in public. I guess Bass Pro is different! An employee at the door told me the don't enforce it and no signs are posted. read more

This place is okay. It's a great place to kill time before a movie or even walk around after eating at red robin. Love this place during Christmas. It's a fun place to get your shopping done, eat some popcorn and take a picture with Santa. The lines are a little long but they do hand out "bass passes" so it's not that bad. The fudge is good but the girls working in that department aren't always polite. Sometimes they seem fudgey and slightly annoyed. read more

We stopped in here on a whim - driving by on a road trip. My DH was keen to go, I was meh about it, and our 5 year old was just along for the ride. Well...we spent over an hour in there, and the 5 yr old was begging to stay! It's a beautiful store with lots to do and see. I wasn't too interested in the merchandise, but DH seemed to think it was okay. ;) My son spent the entire time gawking at the interior - huge fish tank, shooting range, and TONS of holiday kids activites! We saw Santa and got a free photo taken, he did a holiday craft, wrote a letter to Santa, colored, played some games, tried out all the riding equipment, got popcorn ($1.50) looked at the fish and more! He asked if we can go back tomorrow! Definitely a fun way to pass the time while DH was looking around. read more

Bad customer service. Bought a boat from them and was suppose to get a $750 gift card. Never received it. Called several times and all they say is give me your phone number and I wil have someone call you. Still awaiting there call. read more

Upon walking in I was amazed. I said the following: "This is like Disneyland for hunters" and "This is the NRA church!" Both are true in this massive ode to all things outdoorsy. They have literally everything you could want and need for any outdoor activity. Each area has it's own charm too, umm perhaps charm isn't a good word for this masculine paradise, how about gruff? In any case they cleverly stamp out each area with it's own character while throwing in some theming elements. Not only can you browse the thousands of products, you can try them too! They have a shooting range for the gun folk and an aiming range for the archery aficionados. For those skiddish of the real thing, a western-like shooting range complete with animatronic critters and a virtual reality range as well. I was also impressed by the large mountainous waterfall placed strategically around the east stairway. In all it was an experience, I'd like to check out the Mercantile (yes it looks like an old-timey store) next time because I hear they make homemade fudge! read more

My place to come window shop and decide on my next purchase or birthday wish or Christmas wish. This place is a outdoors man you shop. With so many selection and items you wouldn't know what to buy but to buy all of it. read more

Came in her with my family , great atmosphere. So cool that they had so many (trophies) donated to make the place look ALIVE. My two sons were shocked almost the whole time thinking the animals were alive. That fish tank was awesome as we'll. they have a lot of coo gear you can buy, we couldn't leave with out grabbing a couple bass pro shop hats. We will come back here for sure and if you are ever in Manteca you have to stop by this place for sure read more

Reminds me of Walmart. Poor customer service, big time. Cashiers move sooo slow. I was standing in line for almost 10 minutes to purchase one thing, with only one person paying ahead of me. STAY AWAY from the "Outdoor Traveler" sales people/ kiosk! Their "resort getaways" are a scam! Don't let them talk you into it! Purchased a $99 2 night hotel stay in Vegas, only to find out later that all the info provided is BS. It's basically a trip to attend a meeting on "time shares". Called within the 30 days to get a refund, only to be transferred about 8 times and lied to constantly. Now I'm waiting to see if they will refund all of my money. Never returning to Bass Pro again. read more

My brother and I went in to get him fitted for his first bow and we picked this Bass Pro shop because it has the most variety when it comes to bows. When we arrived at the archery department, which is only inches away from the gun department, we realized there was no one there unlike the gun department which was fully manned. We had made eye contact with a couple of the men leaning against the counter of the gun department but remained un-acknowledged until my brother walked up to them after 20 minutes of waiting and asked if we could get some help. The employees told him that the person incharge of the archery department would not be in for another hour. Meaning that for the last 20 min they just watched us wait without telling us that the only person available would not be in for almost an hour and a half, and if we had not gone up and asked for help we probably would have been standing there waiting, completely unacknowledged, for an hour and a half. Eventually the man who ran the department, Juan, did come off of his break to come and help us and he was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, lovely, he went above and beyond and he was the only reason we left that store as happy customers. read more

Wow what an amazing place. I used to see this place from the freeway all these years but never stopped. This time went with one my friend who is big in fish in and boats and I was so surprised . This is going to be my favorite shop if I am in the area and have time . read more

We arrived at BPS on a cold blustery morning. I felt some slight anxiety at the thought of entering the Disneyland of the outdoors person. Don't make the mistake I did and assume 'Outdoors' means hiking, backpacking, or basic camping. This place is for the Daniel Boones out there who want to put meat, preferably by rod and reel, arrow, or bullet, on the table. From the impressive entrance to the giant fireplace there is eye candy all around and I'm not talking about guns, blinds, boats, bows & arrows, fishing poles, boots, clothing, Jerkey Canons, or even the fudge ( yes fudge because even outdoorsmen like a sweet every now and then while sitting in a blind). I mean the previously alive stuffed animals everywhere throughout the store. Look up and see some mountain goats perched on a cliff. Bears are standing guard over the pool teaming with some pretty healthy trout. Wolves snarling and baring their teeth as you climb the stairs. There is an enormous fresh water fish tank with Bass, Carp, Crappies, and Sturgeon. Wild Turkeys hang from the ceiling in mid flight and wild boars look like they are ready to give chase at any moment. There are waterfalls, streams, and 'granite walls', all made to look like you are in the wilderness. We spent a couple bucks at the shooting gallery where there were plenty of animals just daring you to take a shot. Fortunately, the targets are not the animals, eek! I'd never consider shooting an animal unless one day I woke up and had turned into Rambo and was starving. But I digress. I enjoyed the store just for the sightseeing but I could see how anyone with a passion for the outdoors could while away the day and take home an item or two for the next hunting or fishing trip. The customer service at the gun counter was awesome and they at least were enjoying themselves. There does appear to be a semi dress code however. I saw lots of men, women, and children in camouflage and other accouterments of the game strolling through the store read more

This place is like the Central Valley's version of Disneyland! I definitely felt like a kid again wandering around the store and staring at all the attractions they have in complete awe. I'm not a fan of all the dead animals, but just to see them up close in general was pretty amazing! They have a shooting range arcade game which was free, when I went there. ANDD...because the store was closing and they wanted folks to leave, they gave out free s'mores outside the shop! We were toasting our marshmallows in a fire in the daylight...so so cool! I think I'm going to take my niece and nephew there. Oh...and I bought a shirt for $5...everything else in there is a bit pricey for me, but then again, I don't do all that hunting/archery/stuff. But even if you don't...I think its worth the trip! read more

This place has almost all your outdoor gear. I took the Hunters education course for the required two day course. It was excellent, the instructor which were employees were great. I would highly recommend taking the course there read more

So, from someone who has been to a few Bass Pro Shops, I'm not an enormous fan of these guys. I tried to return some sunglasses to them last year and they girl just acted like I was some jerk who stole them and tried to return them. That's not what I want in customer service. I'm a fan of cordial people who are willing to help you with ANYTHING you need, including returns or exchanges. As far as selection and variety it's wonderful. It's great for kids and adults in the like. I for one am not the most outdoorsy person out there. I'm a sit on the couch and play video games kind of guy. So it's not a store I frequent, but the few times I have gone, it's been A-Ok, so 3 stars it is! Cheers. read more

This place is awesome, If your a fisherman they have baits and fishig supplies for you. If you are a camper then you will love their camping supplies. If your a hunter you will love their selection of guns and hunting supplies. They have a huge fish tanks and lots of stuffed game animals around the place and lots of camping equipment. I love this place and will recommend this place to everyone.. read more

Horrible store... went in to purchase a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses, waited 15 minutes at sunglass counter and no one came to help me. Walking out and complain to guy at door and he tells me oh well it's part of apparel. Lost a $300 sale. I won't go back. Sunglass Hut will get my purchase. read more

There service department is terrible. Brought in my badboy buggy. It has been at there shop total(because they messed up and I had to bring it back) of over 6 months. Do not buy anything there that might eventually need a repair.... read more

The lack of customer service, lack of friendliness.. lack of common courtesy especially behind the gun counter. This recent bad experience makes one just want to patronize local gun shops even more. It's really too bad, because I really like this store but lack of adequate customer service is simply staggering. read more

Don't even deserve 1 star at all. The store is big for nothing. Employee wouldn't let us in if we don't know what exactly we're looking for. Also couldn't even use the bathroom without a purchase. read more

This location has no concept of protecting california consumers from covid-19...Obviously only interested in money. Half of the people shopping at this Manteca location are not wearing masks. Many of those that were are complaining of the exposure...Anyone not wearing a mask is possibly spreading the virus just by talking and spreading droplets on all surfaces around them...GREAT...I address with management that Gov Newson put in place a mandate to require masks in all public places including stores due to the virus gaining again...His answer was " This store choses not to follow the mandate." We left this store immediately. The San Jose store won't let you in unless you are wearing a mask...as well as ALL other stores in Santa Clara county is requiring masks everywhere. Get on board San Joaquin County...People are dying. read more

I recently used my visit to this big box store as material for my Urban Dictionary debut("redneckery"). This place is definitely not Bay Area. My camo-lovin', hunting-knife-admiring veteran boyfriend could have been there for hours. Our four year old wouldn't have minded(though the stuffed predators did spook her). I found it entertaining to pick out the bonafide good old boys from the tourists. Next time I 'm fixin' to try the fudge and that hot buttered popcorn. And yes, I have to admit the hot pink Swiss Army knife caught my eye. read more

I took my nephews to watch a movie at the new theatre, and had 45 minutes before the movie started. I decided to walk over to the Bass Pro Shop to check it out. WOW!! Was I amazed at what was in there! The environment just screams outdoors fun! There was so much to look at. They really have done a great job with the decorations. I could not help but take a few pictures of my nephews with all of the fake animals. It felt as if we were on a hike. They have lots of stuff to choose from. Any kind of outdoors activity you are into they have the equipment. read more

The staffing level is god awful. I have been waiting 45 minutes to buy ammo and there is just one guy workin the counter. Bass pro you need to hire more people especially as the holidays are approaching. read more

They have horrible customer service at the firearm desk! They are completely unorganized. I waited for three hours and I was the third person in line first thing in the morning I will never go back to buy anything related to a firearm,ammo or anything they suck! read more

Just go. This place is huge. Two stories of hunting, guns, fishing, boats, canoes, camo, bows, and clothes. Think outdoorsman. This place is like a large hunting and fishing lodge. There is two stories of adventure. Wandering and eyeing the things I need. Just dropped in to check out the kayaks on the way home from a fishing trip on the delta. I wish they had more technical camping stuff. There is taxidermy all over the place, deer, goats, and a waterfall in the middle with a trout pond. This place is perfect on the way stop between the bay area and the delta or the sierra. Not the largest BassPro, but this place is huge. I could spend hours in this place and making notes on the things I need. read more

Worst customer service ever went to pick up a gun I purchased online waited 2 hours All employees walking around talking to each other not helping customers manager was rude to all of us several times finally insisted on getting my money back never shop there again read more

Bass Pro Shops in Manteca is one of the coolest places to shop. You cannot miss the enormous building from the freeway, then you get inside and it looks even bigger. Bass Pro Shops is more than a fishing store. Inside its walls you will find fishing, hunting, guns, ammo, bow and arrows, camping supplies an amazing clothing line and some of the best fudge you will ever taste. They also sell a wide range of Tracker boats with an amazing show floor for you review. Their clothing line is amazing. You can buy everything from designer wear to Camo wear. They have many souvenir items with Bass Pro Shops logo, from T-Shirts to hats to drinking mugs. Possibly the coolest part of the store is the display of animals. The taxidermy on display is second to none. Then there is the huge fish tank with a large variety of fish, everything from white sturgeon to largemouth Bass. The staff at Bass Pro Shops is professional and knowledgeable in the department they work in. Many on staff are also qualified to lead a hunter safety course or fly fishing tutorial. At Bass Pro Shops you can buy a gun, fishing pole, a pair of shoes, buy a vacation Vegas and a box of fudge all in one trip. It is more than a store it is AN ADVENTURE! read more

I've called this place 5 times in one day to get information of some of the clothing they carried and never once did they answer their phone. I called looking to see if they had beige 5.11 or dickies.. come to find out after coming into the store that they don't carry beige pants. They don't carry women's 5.11, nor do they carry dickies.. We drove 20 minutes in the rain to get to this place because they wouldn't answer their phone. It was more than frustrating to see walking in that the girl at the front counter is standing around doing absolutely nothing!! I've visited this place many times for many things. Every time I'm alway leaving completely disappointed. Never will I ever go to bass pro again. read more

Bass Pro is like free Disneyland for my 1 year old and my boyfriend. They could seriously spend hours in there... And that's easy to do since the place is MASSIVE. Last time we were here was about 2 weeks before Christmas. 3 hour wait time to see Santa, about 30 minute wait for the check out line. Lots of people and very crowded, but also a lot of very helpful employees who are all friendly and knowledgeable. I would say that the employees here are definitely the strongest part of the store. Every specialty department (guns, fly fishing, camping, water, etc) is staffed by people who really know what they're talking about. They know the products well, and the sport. Prices are a little high sometimes, but much cheaper than other sporting stores like REI. read more

This store is huge. I just enjoy looking around at all of the outdoor toys (guns, boats, camping supplies, and fishing gear) in addition to the aquarium and various animals on diplay (real animals that have gone through the taxidermy process). This store does price match items to certain stores in the S.F. Bay Area; however, it was a very very slow and frustrating process since they only had 2 people working their customer service area and a long line of people with returns and other issues. I'd have to say that the customer service was not that great overall. I don't like to be harrassed by over zealous sales personnel, but it is okay if someone offers to help you once in a while too. I found that this was not the case at this store. This accounts for my average rating. read more

I have never been to a Bass Pro Shop until my husband took me there on the back from a vacation trip. I was amazed and still talk about how ridiculously awesome this place was. I'm not an outdoors type but I was very impressed and found myself taking pictures and roaming around like I was at a theme park. I also found the item I was looking for and made a purchase. Their staff is lletiful, cheerful and ready to assist. Such fun!!! read more

Wondering what trash customer service feels like, go try and buy a gun here. We got up super early and were first in line when doors opened, had to go to the car to get second proof of address, without skipping a beat, I think his name was Adrian, tried throwing us in the back of the line. Luckily the customers in line had a better sence of judgment and we were 5th in line after getting the proof of address from the car. It gets worse, someone there had the bright idea to place gun pick ups in the SAME LINE. Every time one shows up we get pushed back sence "they're priority". Doesn't take much critical thinking to understand that if these people are priority maybe there should be a SECOND line just for them. Every time we asked if we were next they just rolled there eyes and said you're next dont worry. 3 hours later, same story. Decided to leave this place with no intention to return. Support you smaller local businesses, they'll treat you better. read more

It's a redneck natural history museum with a huge giftshop! It made me want to wear camouflage and kill my own food. And stuff animals and hang them on the wall in my den. The GOOD POINTS about Bass Pro Shops "Outdoor World": * The "mountain goats vs. wolves" display was sweet. * Crossbows! * Camouflage bikinis (I also learned that thigh-high waders are the stockings and garter belt of the fishing world). * I loved the 3 story high Freudian tree at the front entrance - very virile. * Fat-sized elevators. * Very romantic (took a date there). The BAD POINTS about Bass Pro Shops "Outdoor World": * Absence of ninja throwing stars in the knife department. * They wouldn't let me wade in the artificial fish pond. * I couldn't see the camouflage department. * Employees couldn't offer much advice about how to hunt "the most dangerous game." * No waterslide. * None of the weapons for sale were "Sasquatch ready." read more

I'd like to subtract stars from this store's rating. My Husband has been on the phone for hours with Dogtra Corporate because Bass Pro is cheating him out of a year on the extended warranty he purchased by "piggy backing" one year store and one year manufacturer warranty together. Dogtra has stated that Bass Pro should make it right and honor the warranty. Be a freakin hero Bass Pro and do good for a loyal customer who has spend thousands of dollars in your store. We aren't spending another penny here. read more
