Scheels

This place is great. I love it, and my kids love it. The ferris wheel and treats they sell in the food court always make us want to come back.
Great sports apparel and customer service. I go there about once a week for something and they never disappoint.

if you enjoy taking selfies with dead animal carcasses and giving in to American consumerism then this is the place with you. nearly 100 animals were murdered for the sake of «decoration» and the workers there won’t even bat an eye in telling you this. if you want to continue pumping the idea that killing animals or any living being is okay to your kids then by all means stop by but if you are a compassionate ethical human being think twice.

This place is the taj mahal of sporting good stores. The Overland Park location is the only location in Kansas and has been opened for over a year now.
The place is huge — I’m talking about they have a Ferris wheel in the middle of the store and an aquarium with live scuba divers in them huge — and it caters to people who are fans of all sports.
Need hunting gear? They have it.
Need fishing gear? They have it.
Need camping gear? They have it.
Need baseball, softball, football, basketball, volleyball, beach, wake surfing, swimming, hockey, wrestling, airsoft, paintball, track & field, figure skating, golf, disc golf, surfer, inline/​skateboarding, racquet, fitness gear? They have it ALL.
This place is a one stop shop.
Also, if you order online and your order is over $ 25, they include free shopping on returns.
Scheels is constantly having sales (weekly, monthly), so be sure to check out their website for their latest deals:

The cost isn’t discounted nor is it any cheaper than any other sporting goods store, but Scheels’ unique position is they offer a very extensive, large variety of products and in each department they have kid friendly games — adults would even have fun playing in them as well (how fast can you throw a baseball, interactive hunting game, trying to score on a soccer goalie, trying to throw a football into certain holes, etc.)
Lastly, I’ve bought a few items that I had to later return, sometimes a few weeks later, and their customer service was excellent and very understanding/​accommodating. I’ve dealt with places that are headaches when it comes returns and their policies, so that’s the cherry on the cake for me.

If you need your sporting goods store to have a statue of Ronald Reagan in front and a ferris wheel inside, this is your store!
There are other oddities about this place like the massive tropical fish tank and a café. But I suspect that all of these things get people in the door and most people likely buy something before they leave.
The place is massive and has a lot of stuff you wouldn’t anticipate finding in a sporting goods store such as home décor and lots of clothing of the non-​sporting variety.
I’ve been here three times so far, and each time I have made a purchase. The last time, I bought arch supports and the hubby bought new kicks. The arch supports were a bit pricey at $ 44 bucks, but if you have crappy feet, good arch supports are imperative. Unfortunately, when I got them home, they wouldn’t fit in my shoes, so I returned again to return them. The service counter was fast and friendly and didn’t give me any trouble with making my return.

Best customer service in town by a landslide. Stopped on Christmas Eve for a last minute gift. They were just closed. The manager unlocked the door, invited me in and personally helped me look for a gift when they didn’t carry what I came for. She spent 45 minutes helping me. We will never go anywhere else! Also, best return policy in town. Forget about Dicks Sporting Goods. This place is awesome!

Great selection and atmosphere– staff very helpful. We were disappointed that they do NOT offer a military discount. All of their competitors do give a nice military discount.

This is a review that should have been written a long time ago. Where can you find a single store that offers something for the family, parents and everyone’s hobbies all in one place. This place has a huge indoor ferris wheel inside the store. As you walk in you will be hit with a large aquarium we had the opportunity to watch a diver inside greeting us as she was doing tricks and probably cleaning up or doing what she needs to inside the water. There is gelato and fudge sold at the café store on the first floor. You can walk around the 1^st or 2^nd floors and find clothes, shoes, guns, ammo, hunting & fishing stuff, and more spread out around the store. Upstairs there was a game shooting spot and a lot of stuffed real animals and Abraham Lincoln teaching you history. Many photo ops and spots throughout, whether it’s catching a fish, being inside jaws, or a bear.
Everyone should come here at a minimum once to check it out. The store felt like the size of a mini mall, But it was just one store.

Took my cousins here to look around and was surprised at how much fun we had in this store. All of the staff was extremely nice (especially the pros in the archery department). Be sure to buy a ride on the Ferris wheel for $ 1.

I LOVE YOU SCHEELS.
You know in movies how there’s that one scene where someone has been living in the store usually behind a toilet paper fort? THAT WILL BE ME. Except I’ll probably be living in a camping display.
Very clean set up as far as store layout. I was probably here for a little over an hour just browsing. Scheels is like a Dick’s meets somewhat Bass Pro on steroids. I’d go as far to say their sporting apparel selection is probably the best in the metro. I also really enjoy the different displays as well as the little things to do (think Buck Hunter, even bowling). Best part? The indoor ferris wheel. But what’s better than the ferris wheel? THE FUDGE SHOP. So many different flavors and combinations. It’s hard not to walk out with an overzealous boxload.

The restaurant inside is actually pretty good. The chicken tortilla soup is quite good and so is the gelato.

Absolutely LOVE this place. They have everything you could expect a Dicks, Acacemy, or Bass Pro to have. With the exception of boats, they have more than you would expect any of the stores I listed to have. Staff is much friendlier than competing stores as well. This is my new store for anything outdoors.

Amazing and helpful service. Actually took me to what I asked him for. Great selection of everything you could ask for.

We were searching for two items at Scheels; men’s hiking socks in a size 13, and an insulated vest in a boys size 12. They had socks that only went to size 12, and we could not find any insulated vests for boys. We were kind of surprised by the enormous ferris wheel in the middle of the store. The place is new and shiny, and that always draws a big crowd at first.
It’s sort of a combination of Cabela’s, Dicks, and Bass Pro Shop. Too bad we couldn’t find the items we needed.

Great selection of athletic apparel and supplies, fashion apparel, home décor and a lot more. Great entertainment as well with bowling, shooting, and many other sports. Awesome Ferris wheel, beautiful aquarium. An awesome addition to the KC area! And they allow pets!!!

Extremely impressed with this store. It puts the dicks in Leawood to shame. The workout clothing selection for males and females was extensive. Found the fishing section to be vast. Loved the extensive collection of dog supplies. I can’t wait to come back and browse.

Really massive sporting goods store with such flair for novel displays. We were fascinated by the animal displays– super educational and we oohed and aahed at the animals, aquarium and Ferris wheel. The selection of goods is impressive too! Such a great store and we could easily spend lots of time and money. They offer a huge and unique selection of pet goods (dried buffalo lungs, hunting accessories) toys, and all kinds of sporting goods. Lots of customer service folks walking around ready to assist.
