Bass Pro Shops

Huge store. Great decor for any hunting or sports enthusiasts. However, BAD customer service. No greetings. I was looking for a specific item. A Chris Janson Bass Pro hat. It has his signature on it and name. I asked an employee in the very next department. She said doesn't know anything about that area that there "should" be someone in that area. There wasn't or I would have asked. She then directed me to the service desk. I asked her there for the Chris Janson Bass Pro hat. She didn't know anything about him or the hat. So THEN, I tried online. Kept directing me to the wrong store. Kept putting in East Peoria, Illinois. FINALLY, it stayed. It said out of stock. For such a huge store they should have either an app, the website or a computer in the store to tell you IF or where something is. Since the employees don't know. I guess I'll have to check to get it over the internet.

Bass Pro Shops is not just a great place to shop—it’s also a fun destination to visit with family and friends. The store feels more like an attraction than a regular retail outlet. One of the highlights is the aquarium, along with displays of different animals and birds, including turkeys and other birds flying around, which makes the experience especially enjoyable for kids. It truly feels like stepping into an outdoor-themed museum. They also have a gun shooting area, where you can try shooting for an affordable price—about 25 rounds for just 50 cents, which is a unique and exciting experience for first-time visitors. The store offers a huge selection of gear, including guns, boats, fishing equipment, hunting supplies, and outdoor accessories. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or just browsing, there’s a lot to see and explore. Overall, it’s a great place for shopping, sightseeing, and spending time, even if you don’t plan to buy anything. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Peoria area.
