A gimmick store . It's a a compact feel with things squeezed in. Covid safety thumbs down. Employees don't wear masks, social distancing non- existent. No signs like done stores saying masks preferred for safety of employees and others. read more

First time at Scheels exceeded my expectations! Before you set foot inside, you can't help but admire the huge statues of famous people. There was someone at the front already greeting you, and almost every employee said hello with a friendly smile. There are so many opportunities to take pictures there like going on their awesome Ferris wheel, the aquarium display, and different displays to actually take pictures with. I had no idea there would be different departments. There was a coffee shop, toys area, candy shop, game and sports area, Colorado novelties area, and so much more. As a design stand point, the layout of the interior is just well thought out. Down to the flooring, space, and ambiance of the whole building. I was a bit surprised there wasn't an escalator and didn't have a chance to find the elevator. It does make you think that taking the stairs is a good way to get your steps in though. I did need a new pair of running shoes, and found this brand called Hoka. The employee who helped me was very nice, friendly, and helpful. She did inform us about signing up for some sort of Visa card to also act as a rewards card. Such an impressive store. I hate to say, but Dick's better watch out for this kind of competition! I am definitely coming back here to shop! read more

Love this place. It's better than Cabela's, bass, pro, outdoor world and, any sporting goods stores, etc. They have quite the variety and something for everyone to pick from. There is hefty prices on clothing like $40 for a stupid T-shirt and $80-$100 for flannel...If you're into that kind of thing then that's definitely your type of store.Tons of ammo tons of guns. It's a Mecca. read more

What an awesome store. Selection is huge with top brands. A Ferris wheel inside is stunning. The taxidermy exhibit is crazy. So many large animals. read more

I was riding the Courage Classic this last week and unfortunately had a tire blowout 3 miles from the lunch stop in Minturn. Scheels staff were manning the bike repair station at the lunch stop. Not only did they have a new tire that they put on the bike, but they didn't charge me anything for the tire and wouldn't even accept a tip. They saved my day and I am forever grateful! read more

This store really deserves more than 5 stars -at least for their archery department. EVERY time I go in here I notice they are VERY well staffed. Not to the point where it is annoying, but the perfect balance where I can always find someone within a minute or so if needed. My highest praise goes to the ARCHERY department which likely has the best archery service in the whole city (small shops included as well). Specifically Ethan, the bow-tech who was simply amazing. The manager Chase was top notch as well - he clearly knows how to set the right standard for this department. I came in for a very simple fix with my bow's peep twisting (expecting to pay for it of course). They not only fixed that issue, they further secured my peep with a string color of my choosing (I went with red to match the string dampeners I have) - they also noticed my arrow drop was a little loose so they replaced that string with a new color of my choosing (red). Along the way they told me what there were doing and why it was safer or more effective to have it this way. Basically a full maintenance review on my bow, oh, and all for NO CHARGE! On top of ALL that, I casually mentioned that it looked like my D-loop was getting worn and Ethan immediately offered to replace it, for FREE. I spoke with the dept. manager Chase for a while during the last bit of my bow maintenance telling him about my current bow and what I was ultimately looking for in a bow. Knowing that I was at least a year away from a purchase he asked if I would like to try the bow I had heard about from friends, the Matthews V3. He and Ethan then proceeded to tune up a V3 to my settings for me to shoot since I said I'd be open to testing one out. He then spent a good amount of time with me on their indoor range letting me shoot it. This is all while knowing I was not going to buy today. The best part was that he said "when" I am ready to upgrade my bow, they will want to have me test a good handful of their bows like this before making a selection. This, compared to Bass Pro Shops " um, what bow do you want - and btw we don't sight it in" response when I went there a few months ago simply asking if they could show me (not test) a few bows. TLDR: This is easily the best for archery in the entire city hands down. They will do basic maintenance on your bow at no charge. They have very excellent prices and the BEST selection in town without question for new bows, targets, etc. I highly doubt I'll ever be going anywhere else (and I've been to many in town). read more

Wow just wow. Amazing store! It's a paradise don't listen to all the communist reviews of the store! Yelp is commie loving bs! Woohoo! Yelp is a sick parody of what reviews should be about. read more

The staff were amazing the evening of 5/29/24 when i slipped and fell in the store one of the staff Beau was only a little bit behind me and was at my side within seconds of me falling and stayed with me till I left. I had my dog with me and someone came and took him and was with him till someone came and got him and brought him. read more

This place is fabulous. From the atmosphere to the staff. Bathrooms were clean. We were asked several times throughout our visit if we needed help. The selection of everything from clothing, sporting equipment, to firearms was excellent. They have a nice Playland for the kiddos. They have military designated parking for them that have served or are serving. They offer a military discount as well. The Cafe was nice as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Exceptional company. Friendly (and knowledgeable) staff, MASSIVE inventory, fair prices, and a clean, well-stocked store. Nine times out of ten, I find what I'm looking for when I go. Can't get any better than that. Looking forward to Christmas shopping there. read more

This store is American and proud. Before you even go inside you know where Scheels stands. The store is beautiful and very interesting. Was warmly greeted, even my pup was welcomed. Was there two hours and still didn't get to see everything. Loved the talking statues John Elway and Abraham Lincoln. The fish tanks were awesome and of course the mountain of animals Nice selection of everything. read more

Big selection. Pretty nice staff but it was kinda hard to get help. Overall we would go back.

We didn't have to pay for the shooting game instead someone started the game for us for free!

I visited Scheels today to look at CCWs and vaults. The selections were amazing and really nice and organized. I found exactly what I had in mind for a small fireproof vault. Me and my friend also looked at CCWs to get ideas and to look at prices. Such a huge selection. We we helped by Kevin F. Who was so wonderful. He has extensive knowledge and patiently explained the various guns to us and let us hold them to compare. It's so difficult to decide on one. I will definitely be back, thank you so much Kevin F. - I have your card for next time. I also really like the huge aquarium at the entrance, so nice to look at. read more

Came in yesterday as my wife and I wanted to get started in archery knowing very little about the sport in general. The Archery Manager, Chase Powers, and his tecs were amazing. He literally spent hours with us (this was on a busy Saturday) making sure we got fully outfitted with exactly what we needed. He never tried to sell us anything we didn't need or up-sell us on anything we didn't want. Walked away with a Hoyt Torrex and I absolutely love it. Chase made an intimidating sport to get into super easy and we had a blast. Thanks!!! read more

Bought a New Era Las Vegas Raiders 2023 Sideline Circle Low Profile 9Fifty Hat Snapback Hat. It cost over $50 and it's junk. There's a bend in the visor and it just generally looks like something you'd get at Walmart. read more

Brand new location this year. They have a huge two arch salt water tank to walk under while you wait in line. I've always loved Scheels. I live in Omaha but went out to visit my family in Colorado. This Scheels takes the cake absolutely well done. Only feed back would be the ammo section is poorly designed and needs to be more of an open concept. It's hard to shop I did pass on ammo due to feeling uncomfortable. Still a super sick awesome location that really pays tribute to military incorporated into their design! Love love love! read more

They have a beautiful store in Colorado Springs, which I visit when there. Unfortunately the store is 60 miles away from home, so I use mail order. Scheels has always been pleasant to deal with. THEN, I had a problem. The Customer Service person I had, had absolutely no concern or sympathy for my problem. I shop where my business is appreciated & I no longer feel it is at Scheels. read more

Wow! $100 million in upgrades goes a very long way! The expansion that includes additional toy shooting games, more video games, a furniture department, candy store, an upgraded extravagant salt water fish tank, and other upgrades brought this place from a 3 to 5 star in my eyes. Well played! read more

It's basically every man's dream come true. I was able to not only find cases and powder for my sniper rifle ammo, but a scope too! Usually it's difficult to see a scope before you buy but they literally have all of the best optics (and less expensive ones) all under one roof. They have every caliber and then some. Rare in these times. It's the best outdoor store I've been to. There's something for everyone there from guns to electric bikes to basically anything you could think of. It's extremely difficult to say something bad about this place. Prices are pretty competitive too! read more

Great store, but the best part is Paul! He makes riding the carousel even more fun for kids and adults with his smile and humor. Thank you, Paul! read more

This place is an experience that you can enjoy for most of your day. There are so many things for kids and families to do here beyond just the shopping. Both the exterior and interior of the store are gorgeous and the fun things like Big Buck Hunter, the ferris wheel, the candy store, the aquarium, and the statues outside make this more than just a store. I had a lot of fun and was also surprised by the selection of NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, and NCAA apparel and merchandise. It was the biggest selection I have ever seen for both kids and adults at any sporting goods store. I found a great hat and was happy with that. Prices are a bit steep on a lot of things, but nothing too outrageous. read more

Incredible store! If they don't have it you don't need it. I was able to find every piece of sport equipment and all the sports apparel I needed. read more

We love Scheels so many items for every member of the family AND exceptional staff. A speci thank you to Shayd and Susann in the men's department.... they were so much fun to work with and helped us find everything we were looking for and even many things we were not looking for!!!. What a great experience!!! read more

Came in this afternoon with my daughter to grab some fudge and ice cream (it was her 16th birthday!) and there was a new employee working and I believe her name is Julia. Not only did she greet me when I walked in, but she made my daughter feel extra special on her big day. even though she was new, I wouldn't be able to tell if it weren't for her name tag. She was super efficient and knew all about what we were asking. Thank you Julia!! read more

Clean, friendly, and fun! A great sporting goods store. Best selection of women's shoes I've ever seen, many good brands of clothing for everyone in the family. A home decor shop with patio table and all kinds of lanterns, candles, serving trays, and accessories. A candy store, lego shop, and a very good cafe for lunch. The sandwiches are yummy and many selections of coffee and homemade fudge! Don't forget to check out the Ferris wheel when you come in to glance at all the departments while you take a free ride...what a fun day we had shopping and getting help from a very friendly and helpful staff !! read more

Amazing store!! Extremely friendly staff and the most complete selection of sporting goods, outdoors, home goods etc. My family and kids love coming here. This is a perfect addition to Colorado Springs! read more

Kudos to Scheels delivery team Logan & Frank! They delivered my couch yesterday; it was seamless from scheduling through delivery. They were on time, professional and even took the time to mention a pillow they'd seen at the store that they thought would go nicely on the couch ! Hats off to Jennifer in store for her no pressure knowledgable assistance when we purchased. We went in for a shirt and came out with a couch that we've been searching for for 3 years :) read more

Keep in mind that I worked at this location and had a great reputation with 95% of the staff. I also left on good terms after two years. Recently I went in to do some socialization training for a dog and client. I arrived early and went in to say hi to a few cashier's and customer service and was holding a Herm Sprenger collar that they do not carry. The employee who oversees the cashier's approached me and questioned if I was shopping and the whole time looking at the collar in my hand. I informed her that Scheels doesn't carry this particular one. Also, I never even walked past the cashier's and had she checked with LP would have known this because I know the location of every camera because I worked in LP. I then went to the vestibule to wait for my client. A few minutes later I was approached by a store lead who asked me what I was doing there and tried to make casual conversation leading up to the collar I was holding and I again explained how they do not carry this specific collar. I couldn't believe that I was made to feel like a thief which took away some of the goodness I had for this store. I will continue to good there for dog training (I know their markup on goods) which is too high, and expect to be treated like any good customer in the future. FYI management, these actions basically equaled to a bad stop. Practice what you preach! Any LP that would have made this type of stop would have been terminated according to store policy. read more

Really awesome place, always have tons of ammo and an absolutely massive gun selection, at a fair price as well. Just bought a savage 30-06 not too long ago. Very impressed with the service. I could walk around for hours read more

Beautiful store, massive selections of everything you can possibly want, but most importantly, they provide a military discount. As an Army wife, this is important. read more

The restaurant here has the best pizza in the world the Ferris wheel is so fun. They have arcade games and more come here if you wanna have a good time. read more

One stop shop for anything outdoor related. Kids had a great time on the Ferris wheel and indoor play area.

I live in Oregon, but am visiting family in Colorado Springs. For Christmas, we got our teenage daughter a snowboard. I was interested in getting the snowboard at Scheels, but I was concerned that we would not be able to get it set up before leaving for Oregon in a couple of days. I spoke with Chris on the phone, who spoke with the service center to make sure it could get set up in time. When my wife and daughter came in, Chris knew who they were (remembering their names) before they introduced themselves. He was a knowledgeable guide to snowboards, helping them select the right (not the most expensive) snowboard, boots, bindings, and helmet for my daughter. He was not trying to upsell them, and delivered one of the best - if not the best - retail experience we have had. They walked out of Scheels with the snowboard (set up) in hand and ready to hit the slopes. Truly a superb experience, head and shoulders above other stores. Chris, and Scheels, is a gem. read more

Fun place to browse with kids. But, expect to pay full retail prices for anything in the store. No sale prices here but the long lines of people I saw at cash registers didn't seem to care! read more

Great store with a huge selection of outdoor gear and sporting equipment. Super friendly staff, especially Hannah B. who helped me find what I needed. What an absolute sweetheart she was. read more

I came in looking at bicycles and Jacob was extremely friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Grady the Assistant Store Leader was very helpful as well, he provided great information regarding the stores satisfaction guarantee policy. I can tell this store is committed to their customers and I was very impressed with their policies. read more

This review is for the ski/snowboard rental service. They are amazing! Devin especially has gone out of his way to make the rental experience fast and easy. We usually have a large group (6+ people) and he is always ready to take the time to quickly and efficiently help us get our gear. We really appreciate everyone there and their great work! read more

Love this place! The customer service is always on point and the floor staff are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. My husband and I frequently go there to grab a coffee from the cafe and walk the store. I've been continually impressed by the selection they carry. We've purchased exercise equipment, clothes, guns, camping gear, paddle boards, and toys from this store. Every experience has been a great one! read more

I was super excited when I found out Scheels was coming to Colorado Springs. Unfortunately my excitement tanked when I found out this store isn't practicing safety or following state guidelines in regards to Covid-19. I saw more than fifty customers walking around without face masks in the short 20 minutes I was in the store. It's only a matter of time before this store has some serious outbreaks. Although the employees were wearing masks, several weren't wearing them properly (below the nose) and they definitely were not keeping a safe distance between themselves and customers. I was disappointed to say the least, I won't be visiting this store again until the pandemic is over. read more
