While it's smaller than the massive outdoor stores, it was organized, well-stocked, and has a great selection of clothing, gear, and gifts. They have a beautiful fireplace and sitting area by the entrance that sets a "cozy cabin in the mountains" vibe. One of the first things you see is the beloved aquarium - always the highlight for the kids and what I remember from similar stores growing up. Next, what we really came for. We visited to see Santa with our toddler and had a wonderful time. You can pre-register to ensure your spot for a FREE photo, and those that walk in can wait in line once those that registered in advance are through. I saw everything from families in matching PJs to couples with their dogs and I was all about it. Once they snap the photo, you get a free printout and can opt to purchase additional if desired. They even gave a festive little wooden frame, which is currently hanging on our fridge and bringing me joy. This setup to see Santa was memorable, efficient, and perfect for a wiggly toddler. We'll be back in the future!

Every time I stop by, the store has maybe two customer in there and their average age is 85. The fact that the store has been open a few years and this is the first review is also indicative of their low traffic. My bet is the store closes in the not so distant future. I'm guessing fly fishing in the middle of corn fields doesn't have a huge following.

There's a front and back entrance, the back has 1-2 reserved parking spots. It's a fairly small place but packed with stuff: sleeping bags to keep you warm in the mountains, apparel from brands like Patagonia, water bottles, candles that smell amazing, camping chairs, knives, and more! The customer service is out of this world. Multiple folks working, all really friendly. When you ask to see something from the case, they answer questions about the product t but don't try to sell it - thank god, that is annoying and it's nice to not have that pressure. They sell quality items so their sales folk don't really have to hustle like that. Anyways, very pleasant experience!

He's in between bike sizes right now, so we've had to try them in person to be sure of the fit. Academy has a whole row of bikes that you can pull off the shelves and sit on.

I would add Academy to your list of places to visit if you're looking for a bicycle. Beyond bikes, Academy has lots of things for almost every sport or physical activity, it seems like. Golf, running, baseball, you name it. And there are lots of school supplies here, too, like backpacks, water bottles, lunch bags and things like that. They got a lotta stuff.

Spring colors were everywhere. I encountered several clerks who asked if I needed help. The check out area is in the back of the store, which I found a bit odd. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. I'll be back.

I checked online…read moreto make sure they would have what I needed before making the trip from the Meridian and 91st street area where I was attending a doctor's office for the day and had a chance to shop while on my lunch break. I was looking for Merrell hiking shoes to replace the Vasque shoes I have been wearing for the last ten years. I have been wearing high end hiking shoes as everyday footwear since I discovered mountain trail hiking in Tucson back in 2002. Their online web site said they had a pair normally retailing for $120 on sale for $80 but it must have been online only since I could not find it in the store. This store did not carry Vasque but I had previously owned a pair of Merrell shoes and knew they were good quality and would last a long time. They offered two choices which were waterproof and not waterproof. I chose the waterproof although I liked the color of the non-waterproof better. The pair I chose were basically brown and I was hoping to get a different color since I had been wearing brown for so long. They offered two other colors, an olive green and a lighter color online but they did not appeal to me. I was hoping for a dark gray or something to match black and jeans better. Service was only so-so. Another customer and I waited in the shoe department for someone to wait on us while other employees looked at us but didn't assist us. It's not like we can help ourselves. Someone has to go in the back and grab a box and bring it out for us to try on. Eventually someone came to help me but the other customer gave up and left. Checking out was equally frustrating. Two cashiers both stuck with customers for a long time, one bickering over a return and not getting a full credit. This is where other stores have a separate counter for these issues so customers who want to simply pay and go can do so without a long wait and no one getting checked out. Standing in line or waiting to be helped while multiple other employees seem to be available to help is frustrating.
