Store is organized by outdoor activities--fishing, hunting, camping, etc I especially love the foods section that includes chili kits, rubs, jerky and sauces. A downside is often the absence of shelf pricing. I've left many things behind due to this. Lots of wonderful clothing, especially for cold weather--thermals, fleeces, fllannels. Has outdoor appliances like dehydrators, grills, tools. Even has a toys section. Saw some great sales today $15 fleece jackets, 25% off lots of clothing, etc. Certainly worth a gander for everyone.

This is a review for their archery department…read more I decided recently that I wanted to get back into archery (which for me means traditional target shooting with a recurve bow). After receiving terrible service at a local shop in Gainesville, my boyfriend (who was buying this for me as a birthday present) and I came here. Upon walking into that section they really only have compound bows for bowhunting on display and some very expensive all wood recurves hanging behind the counter. There were plenty of people behind the counter though, and one man asked if we needed any help. We told him what we were looking for and that I was a novice archer who had last shot about 6 years ago. He promptly pulled a box out from underneath the counter, told us the price and asked if it was in our range. We said yes and he began putting it together for us. After he had put it together and showed me how it was done, he had me draw it. I said it was fine and more than I shot in High School, which is what I'm looking for since my archery teacher was always pushing me to try a stronger resistance. He then showed me a product called a "whisker biscuit" (I know, sounds lewd right?), which is basically a special attachment to help with nocking the arrow. It holds the arrow in place, meaning it won't fall out mid-release...which I agree is a good idea to have for a novice...especially since this has happened to me! So he attached that on for us. I asked him about a sight and he led us over to where they sell them and selected one to recommend at my re quest of a reasonably priced one. He picked one out and I looked at it, and really liked it! Fiber optic sight with several different pins to mark different distances so there is no need for adjustment once you set them. After attaching everything we had picked out he asked if we need it taken back apart and we did so he obliged. He let us know there was a sale on some arrows and we picked them up as well; he cut them to the proper size and then we were ready to check out! I know it kind of sounds like he was trying to upsell me on a lot of things, but he did listen to our concerns about price and we knew exactly what we were buying. When recommending a product he told us exactly what it was and why it was a good idea, but never said it was a necessity. At any time we could have requested something cheaper or different and I'm sure he would have obliged us with no problem. Great experience, excellent service. Will definitely come back if I need anything. I'm just sad they're in Orlando and not Gainesville :(

I was really disappointed after visiting this North Face location. The store was neat and orderly,…read moreeven on a Saturday in November. The clothing sold there seems to be of a good quality, but is seriously overpriced, especially for an outlet. One men's rain jacket was about $600 - that was the "sale" price!! And it was a thin jacket, not a heavy duty winter coat. I have no problem paying for high quality clothing, but this store has items priced several times higher that they should be - especially at an outlet when they are supposed to be having early Black Friday sales. I'll be checking online for better deals around Black Friday and see how it compares with their outlet prices. At this store you are definitely paying for the name when several other companies sell the same products at a fraction of the price.

Basing this off of the Santa picture experience only! We honestly love coming to Bass Pro shops at…read moreChristmastime because it's the best Santa experience that we've been able to find in town. It's free and you get a 4 x 6. You can upgrade your package, but you'll get the 4 x 6 to take home for free. This year the Santa was so friendly and took care of my two-year-old who is too scared to sit on his lap. He offered several suggestions of different ways to sit and finally we were able to get a picture where he was looking. My husband was so happy! (Haha) We have fun every year and we think that it's a really great experience for families who are looking for a photo with Santa and also a free 4 x 6 to take home. Pro tip you can book your spot online but there's also walk-ins if you have time to wait.

I was impressed by the selection of fun unique gifts for both adults and children. I had my toddler with me and he thought it was basically an amusement park in there. He loved looking at the fishies in the large aquarium tank. This particular location is not as impressive as other Bass Pros I've been to, nor did I experience any helpful staff. I was also approached by a salesman for Hilton Grand Vacations (I guess this is a new partnership with BPS) trying to sell me hard on a vacation package lol. I think by the 3rd "NO" he got the hint. But I did discover the best kept holiday secret for parents EVER... This time of year they have a Santa's Wonderland experience set up including a little workshop/craft area for the kiddos, plus photos with Santa. The best part is that there was zero line for Santa pics and your visit includes a FREE 4x6 photo and shareable video. What a steal! You can book a reservation online, but as I mentioned there was not any line when we were there around 4:30pm on a Sunday. I'm glad I discovered that they offer this and will definitely keep it in mind for the future.

She had a deep knowledge of each product I asked her about and "really cared" about me as a customer. She patiently answered each of my questions on multiple products that I was interested in.

Sadie at REI Winter Park is exceptional…read more She spent over an hour helping my fiancé prepare for a hiking trip to Costa Rica, carefully explaining the differences between trail shoes and guiding her to the right option for the terrain she'll face. Her knowledge was impressive, but what stood out most was her attention to fit -- she evaluated width, length, and even recommended going up half a size based on the shoe's construction and the demands of long hikes. She doesn't work on commission. She simply cares about getting it right. Sadie is exactly the kind of professional who keeps us coming back to REI.

Been to this REI a few times and it's super nice and always kept pristine. Employees are helpful if…read moreyou want anything and there's so much to explore. In a recent time I finally decided I would invest in som hiking shoes, so it was really nice to have help from an employee when I chose several pairs, and then she brought out and extra pair that she said are more comfortable, and well I ended up purchasing that extra pair, thanks to her thoughtfulness. They have just about everything you need here for your backpacking, camping or hiking trip. But it can certainly get spendy. It's all the super high quality brands here so the price does not budge. There's a few sales here and there but that's why I wouldn't shop here so often. But once in a while it's nice and even to get inspiration for outdoors adventures. Something else cool about REI is they offer classes to members & nonmembers to teach you about backpacking, survival tips, and how to prepare for certain trips. I'm taking a free class for how to prepare for summiting Mount Everest Base Camp, how cool!

We ended up with a purchase from the gym equipment section and found check out to be pretty quick. The cashier was friendly and asked if I had phone number registered for rewards which I did. He asked if I wanted my receipt which I appreciated since not all places do that. Location of the store is not the best as it is tucked back in the Milennia plaza where there is a lot of traffic. But its a good place to shop if you know exactly what you need and don't mind paying higher prices.

Things that typically go for $50-$60 at these other stores were on sale for $30. I was disappointed that one shirt I was looking at was unavailable in my size. I asked the gentleman working and he said that's all they had on that one. A few minutes later he brought me another shirt that was a similar color, but different style. It was perfect! I ended up like that one more. He pointed out a few other colors as well. He was very helpful but didn't seem like he appreciate the big hug I gave him. Oh well! I misread that one completely. It's a pretty big store with lots of clothing options and shoes/boots too. Their clearance prices are amazing for their brand and will definitely be back here if I'm in need of more hiking attire. They were also helpful during checkout for their rewards program. They had plexi-glass blocking so no awkward hug decision necessary. Great selection and super helpful and friendly staff.
