My jaw literally dropped when I saw how huge this place is from the outside!, not to mention the size of the place indoors!, it’s literally like a maze, room after room of different activities and stores to explore. They also have a restaurant inside!!!. They got a super cool gun museum you can see for FREE as well as a nature museum and aquarium. This place has it all!! I 100% recommend you check it out because you will not be disappointed. It’s perfect for the whole family to enjoy and there is something for everyone. They also have live animals throughout the whole place. Overall I had a blast and will definitely come back for more!"

The indoor rivers, waterfalls, trees, and rockwork built throughout the store are incredibly well done and make it feel more like an attraction than a retail space. If you’re looking for anything outdoor or sports-related, I genuinely can’t imagine they don’t have it. The place is absolutely massive. The museum areas were also a highlight, especially the taxidermy animal displays and detailed habitat sets. One standout moment was seeing the largest polar bear ever harvested (1960)—an impressive and striking piece of history. The NRA National Sporting Arms Museum inside the complex was also surprisingly interesting, even if you’re not a hardcore firearms enthusiast. It adds another layer to what’s already a packed experience. Overall, it’s just a fun place to stop, and the location is perfect—right next to Wonders of Wildlife National Museum & Aquarium, making it easy to turn this into a full day outing."

I only wish I could have spent more time inside! Just so much to see! And what a great town!! I'll be back and will bring someone with me next time!"

Could definitely spend almost a whole day here looking at everything available to see. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable of the area and the store. There is plenty of parking available, also overflow parking across the street from the store. The NRA and archery museum is very cool. Tons of aquariums on the inside of the store with tons of different fish in them. Definitely worth the stop."

The funny part about this was that I told them we would make it a quick stop and needed to be out in 15min. This was before we pulled up and saw the majestic Christmas decor, expansive store space and outdoor iceskating rink. They had fire pits and picnic tables set up, but it was over 60degrees out Sat. Dec 27. I would have loved to have stayed longer because the kids wanted to skate. They had a museum, stage area and so many things we did not have time to participate in. We will definitely plan on coming back to just hang out and walk around.. Oh and almost forgot to mention food, snacks and coffee inside. There's a whole upstairs level we didn't get to visit. Whatever you do, make time to stop just to see it. If you have to plan a visit another day, 100% worth it for anyone who loves nature and the outdoor activities/sports.."
