AWESOME! It's smaller than most stores, but is 2 levels. Hunting and guns are upstairs. Autograph line and checkout lines were through the whole store. The checkout line only took 20 minutes...thank god. The fish tank is small, but had about 25 fish in it. There was a waterfall above it. We got close enough to see brian westbrook kevin vandam and the guys from wicked tuna-which was cool. I will post some pictures. Overall experience was excellent, despite the crowd. Got a new hinged jitterbug lure, i have never seen 1, so i had to get it. Got 2 basspro hats, 2 t shirts and a microlite fishing pole, and 2 fleece jackets. 54.00 for all of the stuff. The parking lot is small, we had to go around the block 3 times, they had a sign that said full, but i got out and pointed out to security, that there were 20-25 spaces, so they let us in. Overall, it is an amazing store, can't wait for the crowds to go away and check out the thousands of lures....
It sounds like you had a GREAT time shopping and looking around the store. You took some nice pics of your son. Keep him interested in the outdoors. I think I'm going to take your advise and wait for the crowds to go away.
