Bass Pro Shop - Outdoor World (Harrisburg, PA)






What an experience. We visited the Bass Pro Shop - Outdoor World at the Harrisburg (PA) Mall. I expected a boring trip to a sporting goods store. Was I surprised. Significant money was spent in decorating and maintaining the store. This trip was more fun for my grandson than an amusement park! He rode around in a shopping cart shaped like a NASCAR racer. Throughout the store were many "stuffed" animals: deer, elk, bear, raccoons, squirrels, and pheasants. Located in the center of the store was a room-size aquarium with huge game fish such a large- and small-mouth bass, lake trout, perch, bluegill, brown trout, white sucker, walleye and channel catfish, many longer three feet! In another section of the store, 4-wheel ATV's were on display. As long as children were supervised by their parents (or grandparent), they were welcome to sit on the display models for a real thrill. We spent well over an hour in the store, bought things we didn't need and overall had a really great time shopping! This is a mega-toy store for men!
