Bass Pro Shops in Manteca California

The Bass Pro Shop in Manteca definitely qualifies as a shopping destination. If you're an outdoor enthusiast, it's a must-see: they sell anything and everything you'll need for hunting and fishing, from the tiniest fly to motorboats and ATVs. They also sell clothing and equipment for camping, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, bird watching, barbecuing, tailgating, and more. If it's done outdoors, they'll have it! Even if you're not the outdoorsy type, the store is worth a visit, even if all you do is look around. This store is like a cross between the Disney Store (cool decor) and REI (cool outdoorsy merchandise; well, some of it, at least).
The nature displays are crazy-awesome! The front staircase has rocks, wolves, and mountain goats. The back staircase is even more over-the-top, with bears, deer, a walk-through waterfall, and a tank with live fish. The only thing that would make the decor even more mind-blowing would be having the animals move (hey Disney, maybe you can help Bass Pro with the animatronics?).
Some of the merchandise is pretty cool. My favorite items were the waterproof boots (they looked great, and were much cheaper than the ones I see at REI!) and the outdoor deep fryers (Alfie has been craving a deep fryer for outdoor chips, and we almost bought one on the spot).
Our 2nd Bass Pro Shop and was surprised by how different the layout and decorating was between stores. Manteca seems to go all out to "Wow!" you as soon as you walk in. You can't help but look up as you become immersed into the rustic oversized lodge ambiance.
Enter thru the huge Sequoia, yes, thru! and be welcomed into the vast array of outdoor entertainments available to anyone. They have the gorgeous aquarium along with the varied animal dioramas.
We found the fun, free shooting gallery and spent a little bit of time there. Then more to explore.
Shelf stable food that lasts 25-30 years curated by chefs. I've tried regular survival foods and those were already pretty good.
Men's and ladies sections for really nice clothes.
The stairs or elevators take you up to the hunting section, but also gives you a great view of the store. Cross the bridge to shoes, socks, grilling supplies and accessories, and more that I can't remember.
You know what I found? Moon Pies in chocolate, banana and caramel flavors! I tried the caramel. That was a great treat.
Staff and fellow customers alike were super friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy being there.
Sale items are well marked. Every department is well maintained and staffed with helpful and knowledgeable professionals.
There was also a Travel department! I'm checking that out next time.
We always pass this shop on our way from Fresno to the Bay Area and we have never stopped, well today we did and it was pretty awesome! This is an amazing store, for my hubby it was kind of like a trip to an amusement park and he could have easily stayed there for a couple hours. There are plenty of interactive things for everyone (especially kids); a giant aquarium, an archery range (bring or buy your own arrows), and a shooting arcade. Definitely worth a stop!
Being such a fan of this beloved sporting goods and hunting store, I always have to visit one if I see one (I am not sure why but I like to go inside and browse). So my husband, our little girl and I decided to make a visit last month. Bass Pro Shops is dog friendly for those that are new to this chain.
When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a friendly employee. But to be honest, it was actually our little girl that was greeted first, lol. We were actually approached by several employees while we were shopping because of our little girl. Several of them wanted to meet her and pet her.
We ended up purchasing a bottle brush made by Hydroflask because I have been wanting to buy one to scrub the bottom of my water bottles. In store, this brush was $12.99 (prior to tax), however on Bass Pro Shops' website, it was $9.99. We walked over to the hunting gun section and asked the employee if they could price match their website. The employee told us it was no problem and able to ring us up accordingly at the cheaper price.

I clicked on this because I wanted to see if they sell guns there. Do they?
