Cabela’s

I’m not one to write reviews, but I will when the line to buy a gun hasn’t moved in 3 hours due to their computer troubles and all the manager says is «they’re going as fast as they can». This is very disappointing for a national retailer…

My extended family members (namely: farmers and hunters) are obsessed with this store. While I’ll always choose the city life over camping out in trees, I understand why they love this place so much.
For one thing, it’s massive. I walked in 22 minutes prior to their closing last night so I didn’t get the full experience, but I did stick around long enough for key observations:
1) Their massive stuffed animal section. And I *literally* mean stuffed animals.
2) They randomly have candy. And fudge. Why? No idea.
3) Their collection of outdoor gear is insane. I mean, I guess that’s the whole point of the store, but I whipped through a bunch of different fleece options before finding a light jacket (made by Cabela’s, $ 80 but 25% off) that suited my needs. If you’d rather snag a North Face, they have several of those, too.
I was there to buy a coat for the office. I don’t know if it’s because the air conditioner has finally been lowered or this coat, but either way, I’m not miserably cold in here for the first time… ever, so this is an accomplishment.

I think that Cabela’s is extremely overpriced and you can find the same products and brands at Dicks Sporting Goods and other places for half the price. Also, I bought a drink here and the lady didn’t have change so she just didn’t give me any. Weird…

this place is a sporting goods store on steroids. lol. its ginormous and the selection of goods cannot be beat by ANY sporting goods store ive ever been to. they have employees whose sole purpose is to greet customers as they enter and theres no shortage of employees on the floor to assist you with merchandise. what most surprised me was the huge displays of wildlife. this place was like universal studios or a wildlife wax museum. theyve spent alot of time and money making your shopping experience an unforgettable one. their ammo prices are extremely reasonable. guns were a bit overpriced but id expect that from most retail establishments. i really didnt have time to look at much else but i will definitely be going back to spend more time exploring this store. id recommend it to anyone who needs outdoor goods or firearms accessories for sure.

Great store with good people. Was there yesterday to purchase some non-​lethal self defense items that I could not buy in my home state of New Jersey, because Jersey politicians are morons. Found exactly what I wanted and an employee to explain the differences between the numerous models.
I would have given the store five stars, but it is too small. Their Pennsylvania location is much larger, but twice the distance from me.

I felt like I was in a children’s zoo or touristy hunting style box store for overstocks. The layout is intentionally confusing and they put the items they are trying to push all over the store. So there are vests and jackets, collector knives, and gps units scattered throughout the store in the isles. The quality of the items was decent but very expensive and almost all the tags we saw said made in china. And everything that is on sale or bargain priced is still expensive and if you wear a size S then you may be able to find something that fits on sale. But when a vest is priced at $ 229.99 and on sale for $ 169.99 I would hardly call that a bargain. And I think I overheard the salesperson saying the items in the bargain section are not returnable and sold as is. But we left without buying anything because we were overwhelmed with the selection. They tried to have a little bit of everything but not much of anything. Except for fishing rods and gear. The Cabela’s stores always have tons of that type of gear. And most of the clothing is real tree camo so if you are looking for normal clothing you won’t find much.

A bit smaller than the ones we have in WA state. The deli doesn’t have a grill for burgers… Bargain cave was well stocked and lots of cool stuff on sale. Great for the outdoor hunter/​fisherman. Not so great for hikers/​campers compared to REI.

Small compared to other Cabela’s and poorly stocked for a post-​holiday sale; many bare shelves.

Personally, I find it easier to shop on their website. It’s fun to go to if you’ve never been, but if you are serious about hunting and fishing supplies, be prepared to not find anything you are looking for. I’ve been to this location three times since it has opened, and the inventory is always lacking. It seems like it is cleaned out and picked over. I was also disappointed to find that their waterfowl selection was so minimal. Being the closest store to three big waterfowl hunting states, it seems a bit confusing that they don’t have much selection. They were pretty much cleaned out of goose calls. So, two stars. I’ll reconsider if they start getting items in the store.

I was wide eyed walking around Cabela’s before a cold weather camping trip. We ended up getting Cabela’s MTP Base layers, heavy weight for me and polar weight for my life partner. The heavy weight worked perfectly for me, she was kept super warm and dry (barely any whining throughout the weekend in below freezing weather).
I was a little disappointed that they didn’t carry the Klean insulated canteen that I was looking for.
A couple times we needed an associate to ask for directions in the gigantic store. I wish the signs were a little more visible, or maybe a map would be helpful.
I love the selection of polarized sunglasses here. I am ticked that I forgot to pick up a pair.

Finally checked out this new Cabela’s a couple of weeks ago with my husband. Wow — it’s a pretty cool place! If you need something for hunting, fishing, camping, etc., then this is your place. I love the whole vibe of the place with all the outdoorsy/​cabin type décor, and I couldn’t help but notice that the whole store just smelled amazing. I don’t know — a cross between their fudge and the outdoorsy scent? Whatever it was, it worked.
Anyway, the guns were definitely my favorite part — so many different types to look at, from the antique guns to the machine guns to the shotguns — they were all so pretty :)
We walked out with a new pair of hunting boots for my old man, but if we’d have had an extra $ 10,000 on us, we could have really had some fun! This was my first visit to a Cabela’s — don’t know why it took so long to build one in the area — but it was worth the wait!

Big boy toys r us. Amazing selection of ammo, shooting supplies, and guns. Most of their guns come with hi viz sights, haven’t seen that at the competition. Very friendly staff, great buying experience. Check out was a little long because so many people buying guns but I’ll be back for another pilgrimage.

Without prior knowledge, I thought Cabelas would be an outdoor version of Dicks but they’re an authentic hunter, camper and prepper’s paradise as EVERYTHING you can think of is stocked. Its an adventure to walk through the store and just look. Look overhead and you find stuffed game and there’s a humongous fish tank stocked with trout, salmon and other fish. Guns and ammo are sold on premise but security procedures are enforced and you must check-​in and secure guns before entering. Cabelas offers a range of classes and they have a small archery booth to try out bows before purchase. Every non-​urban mall needs a Cabelas.

I’m so excited that it now only takes an hour to get to one of my favorite stores! My first visit and the problem I have is not comparing it to the Hamburg location which is huge.
So my first thought when walking in is that it definitely does not compare to the size of hamburg so I will review it based on its own merits… Or at least try.
First (and this might be trivial to most) I usually need to use the ladies room as soon as I arrive because I drink water all day long so my least favorite thing about the store is this. Not set up efficient enough so when trying to wash your hands and there is a line of people and only one hand dryer with no towels… well let’s just say your pretty much air drying your hands as you walk out.
My favorite part about the store was the women’s hunting clothes! Super stoked that there were pieces in the outfitther line that I don’t have yet and got added to my Christmas list. I also found a hunter safety system vest made for women which was great since I’ve been using men’s for quite some time so I can retire that one.
Some things we passed on since we plan on saving money and getting them cheaper at Walmart but I must say my first impression is a good one and we will be returning again before the bow season begins for a few more items.
Lastly I also want to note that they have an entrance to 95 North right from the parking lot which is brilliant!

I’ve been to the Cabela’s stores in Hamburg and East Hartford. I’ve long waited for one that is closer to home and finally, here it is! This store is smaller than the aforementioned two locations though, so they don’t have as much. However, there still is a lot to see here. And thank goodness for the helpful sales associates because for some weird reason, Garmin GPSes are scattered in a half dozen places within the store depending on model and it took a bit of effort to locate the specific one that I was looking for.

I love this store. Its akin to going to toys’r’us as a kid if you are at all interested in outdoor activities, hunting, camping, firearms, clothes, you name it. The ambiance and set up is likewise themed and makes it that much more awesome.
Finally, a Cabelas less than an hour away!

Standard outdoorsy store.
I had never been in a Cabela’s before, but had seen plenty of commercials & catalogs, that I knew what to expect.
The store itself was kept quite nice, the staff was extremely helpful for pointing me out in the right direction, as I got lost a number of times and the flow of customers coming in and out seemed to be steady.
The taxidermy animals & large fish tank with lake fish was a nice touch. Being in DE, they are tax free– which is fantatsic.

Awesome store. Of course my favorite part was the massive selection of new and used guns. Unfortunately I live in MD so coming out here to exercise my natural rights is a price I am willing to pay. Will most certainly be back!

Love Cabela’s! This one is smaller than the one in Hamburg. Since it’s smaller it doesn’t have as much stuff in stock but u can always order it online and pick it up in store. Lastly, TAX FREE in Delaware!!!

People have been waiting for years for a Cabelas to open in the side of the country. There are very few places on the face of the earth like Cabela’s. If they don’t have it, it’s probably not made. Their grand opening lines extended close to a mile from the store. And they do have everything.
