The main attractions for me are the Ferris wheel, the aquarium entry area and the cafe (+ sweets store). However, they have so much more to offer. It has departments for all sorts of team sports, all types of outdoor and adventure sports like fishing or hunting, fitness, footwear, games, toys, apparel, home goods and more. Do not forget to have the pizza and fudge at the cafe after a long stroll at the store. Also on the second floor they have beautiful taxidermy animals areas which is a fantastic site. It can get busy on the weekends so plan your visit accordingly because it's hard to get parking outside the store. Overall it's a clean, huge store with super friendly staff and a must visit if you're in the area!!

An amalgamation of Dick's Sporting Goods, Bass Pro, and Great Wolf Lodge given birth to a…read morelove-child named Scheels. It's totally one part corporate, crisp, functional retail goods store, and another part taxidermy animals, rides, fudge, and hunting & fishing gear like you'd find at Bass Pro. We took our kids here on a winter break, gray day and it was a lot of fun. First off, there's a mini aquarium when you walk in -- it's nothing to write home about, but it gets the kids attention and they realize right away this is a fun store. From there, you can't miss the gigantic ferris wheel in the middle of the store. Gonna be real, it's fun and worth the wait but also a bit nerve wracking. Something is just odd about quietly swaying at the top of a department store quietly for such a long time. My daughter was like, "Dad, I'm scared to look down!" and all I could think was, "so am I, kid, so am I." We both agreed it's pretty fun once it gets going. There's also a little bowling area where you get five frames for a buck, and ditto to a little arcade game area as well. There's toy stores, outdoor goods, quality brands of clothes and outfitting, and really a nice answer to online shopping. In fact, it feels like malls used to feel in the 90's but a modern spin on everything. We did eat here but I'd say skip it. I didn't find anything I wanted and when I went to finish off my kids chicken tenders I was super underwhelmed and ended up pitching them. I will say at this time they carry Sylas & Maddy's ice cream (best IC in the city IMO) so that was a nice surprise treat. What more could you want if out shopping with the kids?! It's a great spot to kill a quiet afternoon.

I love all the different activities they house as well including the shooting game and the larger vehicles for those who own land or want to go on the water. They also do free Christmas photos which is a real treat. I will continue to come back here for my outdoor needs.

The selection here is very vast, the service here is really good my only grip is the value as I feel some things are a little overpriced and like with all fishing gear, what you get can be be hit or a miss. Even if you like window shopping, this is a fun place to just check out. And if you are a hunter, this is also a great place to check out. And even if you don't hunt or fish, they probably have something for you. It's a great place to buy lifejackets, wet suits, coolers, boats, ATVs,grills, barbecue rub and even snacks. Last year I did all my Christmas shopping at this one store because they have something for everybody. highly recommend.

He got on it and rode, then came right back and said the brakes do not work. Sure enough, they did not. I looked online, and there were reviews even on Academy's site saying the same thing. I took the bike back to the store, but they would not return it. They said I had to deal with the manufacturer. That turned out to be a nightmare, as they give you the runaround filling out forms, taking pics and videos, etc, only to what they said was them wanting to send me some parts so that I would have to work on it myself. I looked at Academy's website after being fed up, and it turns out that their policy says that the store should have returned it. The bottom line is that Academy is selling merchandise for kids that is dangerous and defective, and they know about it. Then they refuse to return it. Stay far away from this company. I'm still dealing with the issues months later, and they could care less.
