The taxidermy is beautiful, and I had no idea they would actually have live fish inside their building. It's a remarkable establishment. It felt like a football field inside. This is definitely THE place for outdoor enthusiasts and folks who fish, hunt, camp, and so on. They have BOGO 40% Costa sunglasses. I ended up getting a 3-piece utility box crate. Customer service was standard, but I was mostly taken away by the beauty of nature, and of course, I had to donate to the conservation fund. I'll have to do more research on what entails, but there is so much to dive through and explore here.

This establishment is located where the Walmart used to be in this plaza. A friend drove me here…read morebecause they wanted to check the store out for an article of clothing that I usually wear and wanted my input. Internally it has a very high ceiling and a large selection of items to look at. They also had some taxidermied animals which were cute and an aquarium with some freshwater fish in it. The other members of my party were not impressed. Despite needing to only shop for one item we kept getting hounded by irrelevant sales pitches for items we did not need, including vacations. They did not have what we needed in stock so we left without buying anything. Not surprisingly this just resulted in the other members of my party asking to borrow my clothes. It would have been nice if it was in stock here. I might come back if I want a plushie. They had a North American animal I liked in the relatively large plushie section, but the other members of my party were not impressed with.

The store itself is so well organized, clean and inspirational. But what truly makes Laguna Hills…read morethe best REI I've ever been to is the staff. In today's world, excellence is not common. Emma, who was at the register, personifies attention to detail, genuine care and true excellence. In small talk, my husband explained to her that I have been having health issues with forever plastics in my clothing. That's why we were there to buy Merino wool. Immediately, she looked at all o f the tags from the clothing we assumed was pure wool, and found out two of the 3 pieces actually had over 40% polyester. She went even further and went back to the clothing area with us and found 2 pieces that were 100% wool. Emma also has a great personality, sense of humor. Before we left, we asked to speak to her manager since we were so impressed. When Lisa came out to talk with us, we were blown away. She, too, has that same level of care and excellence. We are definitely fans of REI, and will always be loyal to the Laguna Hills location!

This REI is much bigger inside than expected from the outside. Everything is laid out nicely with…read moreplenty of room to see everything rather than cramped aisles and displays. Located right off the 5 and El Toro in the Trader Joe's shopping center, there is plenty of parking with a bakery just across the parking lot, and a great Mexican restaurant next door. They have lots of high end backpacking supplies, tents, shoes, clothing etc.. and they also have more budget friendly options. Not crazy about their pushing the "membership" but it's not a requirement so you can shop away without it... I think it does save you money over a few purchases. Lots of gifts to be had here.. I was surprised how many cool little things they had that made great gifts and are not camping specific.

They also have a pretty good selection of clothing and other Columbia branded items for discounted prices as well. The store itself is clean and well maintained, with plenty to choose from. There are also changing rooms to try stuff on. Service at the checkout can be excruciatingly slow here for some reason. It's happened many times so be prepared to wait if there's even a small line. There has never been a sense of urgency here but maybe that's the intent. Overall four stars and a good place to find a deal on quality stuff.

I recently went to snails pace, but Jen WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I was just exploring different options and she was able to give my gf and I some pointers. Without any equipment or fancy machines she grabbed our shoes and was able to take a look at how we walked. She said I was normal, but my girlfriend's feet were supinated looking at the bottom of the shoe. WE WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZED. I tried 5 different pairs but she was able to give tips on running a marathon as well! My pair of Saucony Guide 18 were only $98 with the discount we get. I got some Feeture socks as well and it was very comfy on my run. Thank you so much!

We absolutely love Sports Basement--this location has quickly become our go-to. The store is super…read moreclean, well organized, and has a great selection for everything from camping to everyday outdoor gear. We actually prefer this one over the Long Beach location. The only downside (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is that no one mentioned the Basementeer membership discount to us during our first visit--even while we were checking out. We ended up discovering it ourselves later and signed up online, and it's such a great deal that we definitely would've used it on that first purchase. Overall though, still a fantastic store with a lot to offer--we'll definitely keep coming back!

I came to SEED People's for the first time this weekend when visiting The Camp shopping area. I was…read morevery impressed by the size and selection! The store is 2 stories and they sell everything from home goods, cards, gifts, clothes for the whole family and much more! As a creative person who studied fashion merchandising, their displays were everything to me. It reminded me a little of Anthropology, with more of a boho/hippy vibe. The whole store is extremely visually appealing and has a "hangout vibe". It is the perfect store for this area. It totally goes with the theme. The staff are super friendly and helpful too! Can't wait to go back!

I really dislike leaving negative reviews for small businesses, but I hope the owner sees this. I…read morevisited the store today to buy a gift for my son and for my business partner. We picked up a vest that was clearly marked at $160. When we went to pay, the cashier told my wife the price was actually $200. We understand that pricing mistakes can happen -- that wasn't the issue. What disappointed us was the attitude. Instead of explaining the situation kindly or apologizing for the confusion, the employee was dismissive and rude. Unfortunately, that interaction really affected our experience and made us reconsider returning. I hope management can address the customer service aspect, because the store carries great products and has a lot of potential.

The ocean breeze felt great and kept us cool enough for light sweatshirts. But my sister who lives in a nearby community says it can get very hot in the late Spring through early Fall.
