Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World

It’s different when you have kids. There’s a lot of cool stuff there but the staff is like «you can’t go there», «you can’t be on that». It’s annoying. There’s no point in taking your kids there because they will just be disappointed. In particular, there’s a rude lady at the front whose sole purpose is to tell you that you can’t walk past a gate.

Bass pro needs to invest more in their Canadian customers. Having an American customer service line is backwards for many reasons, including quoting pricing in American dollars among others. Facebook page admin/​customer relations also have no idea what they’re doing. Return policy for defective items should be more flexible. I will bring my business to Sail

Rule number 1 if you want alot of help go early this place is packed during the day. I Went at 8 am Sunday and was met by Joseph of the Fishing department. He walked me around and gave me his attention picked me out fishing items and gave me more knowledge of Fishing. Pricing is okay. I would shop here again

Best part of the place is the one stop shopping for any and all outdoors related products.
It’s huge, has everything I might need and plenty of selection of everything.
Staff are very (almost intimidatingly so) knowledgeable and more than willing to either assist or leave you to browse.
Prices are comparable to what you would find in other stores and again the sheer number of options they have means you are likely going to get exactly what you want.

Not sure why but I find this location dark, poorly lit compared to other stores of the same calibre (Cabela’s, Sail).
Can’t say I’ve ever bought much from this location. I did attempt to make a purchase recently and the service counter in the hunting section was going with a number system that wasn’t mentioned by staff and wasn’t highly visible. Plenty of customers waiting around hoping to be serviced next just to be told 10 – 15 minutes later that we all needed numbers and just so happens that the numbers available were 50 – 60 from those they were servicing with only 10 – 15 customers in the area. This way of doing things is flawed and would run much smoother and effectively if they employed the same amount of staff behind the counter like they do at Cabela’s or Sail where I’ve never had to wait more than a couple minutes.

Wow… this place is huge.
I initially was going to post that if you can’t find it here… you won’t find it anywhere… but on the last few visits, items I went looking for were «out of stock» and the staff really didn’t offer any suggestions as to when they would be restocked.
I find their prices to be on the high side for clothing, unless it’s an end of season sale… then there are great deals to be found.
It’s great that in the spring/​summer you get write your boating licence here… never tried it but will next year.

You can never — ever have enough cammo — that’s camouflage for the un-​initiated — in your life and this place delivers. Spent the better part of Sunday afternoon at this location — got lost twice and ended-​up trying a tree stand and getting my boating safety license (I don’t even have a boat). This location is tons of fun with great service and great prices for all your cammo, camping, fishing, hunting, and pretending you love to go outside needs.

Gotta love this place! Has everything I need for fishing hunting and camping. Never dissapointed

I came here looking for a bow and I spoke to one of the staff. Can’t remember his name but he was so knowledgeable, he blew my mind. I thought I knew quite a bit about bows already, but he blew me out of the water. So explained to me everything I need to know and even let me test my draw strength/​weight.
Just because of this man, 5 stars. I’ll put his name down here when I go back again.

I am not much of an outdoorsman, but you don’t need to be to enjoy this place, surviving a Canadian winter is reason enough to come in.
I have purchased much of my winter workwear here, and have even found some of the Redhead branded clothing better than some of their big name brand counterparts they even have a lifetime warrantee on some of their socks which is a great bonus. They carry a wide selection of name brand clothes such as Carrhart, The North Face, Under Armour and Columbia.
I have also purchased BBQ utensils from here and have been happy with them.
They carry a wide variety of items from tents and BBQ’s to socks, shoes and boots, knives, guns and clothing and that’s what keeps us coming back, we just might find what we’re looking for at a reasonable price here.

OhMyGoshOhMyGoshOhMyGosh — Oh. My. GOSH! This place is INSANELY Awesome! I cannot believe (a) the size of it (no surprise: we got lost in the fishing department), and (b) that we spent an hour just in this shop before discovering that it was attached to the «rest of the mall». And we’re not even fisher/​hunter types! There’s something in here for everyone!
And there are some good prices, too. We were helping out Santa here (there were also at least 2 elves in the store), and we got a remote control car for $ 28.00. YES, Canadian $$! They also offer baseball caps from $ 5.00 to $ 8.00 — ok so some of them advertise the shop itself, but that’s still a good price even though it’s a novelty. Men’s watches were on sale for $ 15.00. TONS of fishing gear — unBELIEVABLE selection — from clothing to rods, reels, knives, anything imaginable that you could possibly use for the sport of fishing! Take a gander at their fly-​fishing section; all kinds of feathers and weights, and tackle boxes — all at great prices. I was thinking of scoring one for my beads, but I don’t want to get carried away… I had to remind myself that I really do not have time to take up a new hobby at this stage in my life, but taking up making flies for fishing was very tempting!
But it’s the décor that really really got to me! This is a taxidermist’s dream! There were all kinds of bears and deer, stags and does, fish, moose, and at least one buffalo — and they all appear to be real (ok, I touched one; it seemed real to me!) There’s a fortune in wild animals in this shop, none of them for sale! The eyes are all agog as you look around — there is always something new to see. Natural light filters down from the ceiling, in this shop that is 2 stories high in the center. Part of the ceiling (on the lower part) is painted corrugated steel like a warehouse, but the part leading to the skylight has montages of wild animals on it. I will try to post photos.
I highly recommend a visit, even if you are not looking for the kind of gear they offer. A visit to this store is like a trip to the country! After you go, let us know here how you liked it.
In a word, INCREDIBLE!
I will go back.

A very visually appealing place. There’s large fish tanks, a waterfall, greenery; it’s like being in the outdoors. It’s very large, but well worth the walk around, because it’s generally enjoyable. They have everything you could think of relevant to the outdoors. The prices are reasonable in my opinion, I picked up a BB gun here for $ 15 cheaper than what Walmart and Canadian Tire were selling it for at the time, and they even threw in some free shooting glasses, and a thousand premium BBs. The employees are really friendly from what I’ve observed, the type that’ll casually converse with you, which always adds to a pleasant experience.

Coming here is like entering a museum of Outdoor, nature and everything you can buy to go with it.
The place is like a wonderland of just anything you can dream up to do with the outdoors.
Upon your first visit you’ll be overwhelmed as a lot of the stuff outside of just merchandise is actually really fun to just visit. There’s a mini waterfall to the entrance of the mall, the aquarium, lots of busts of animals, a small fun shooting range where the guns are.
If you want to look at the whole place, give yourself at least an hour!
We came in for a tent that was on sale — but they were all gone. They have some variety in tents, including their own brand. Also Coleman tents, but there seems to be more at Canadian Tire. For common things like these, it’s unless it’s a good price, there’s not much in the store. But if you’re looking for something unique like canoes or ATVs etc, this is the place to be.
For some reason today was extremely warm and stuffy in here, like they didn’t turn on the air con. With such high ceilings, I’m surprised they didn’t install a giant ceiling fan to move the air around.
The tent we wanted was out of stock, and I couldn’t find someone from the store to help me for the longest time (there’s a lot of people there, but everyone seemed to be busy or hiding).
When we finally did, we got a raincheck for the item and can come in an buy it at anytime at the sale price.
I had no idea this was how a raincheck works but pretty cool.
Coming here was also a great excuse to get the hubby to go shopping with me for 30 mins.

I’m not much of an outdoors person, but I do love to cook. This place has the best variety of cast iron cookware at the best prices. It’s one of the two places in the city that you can find a 17″ cast iron skillet and the only place that sells it for less than $ 100.
I came here for said 17″ cast iron skillet but after seeing the size of the damn thing, then realizing the 15″ was $ 30 cheaper, I went for that option. For $ 30, it’s worth the sacrifice. And really, what the hell am I cooking that’s going to be 17″ wide?
I found it easily (the big hanging signs to mark out the sections REALLY help).
The thing I REALLY love about this place is how they make everything look super rustic. It’s like shopping at Disneyworld.
Oh, and there’s also bathrooms by the door, which is super convenient, since I’m sure lots of people come here from pretty far away.

I love this place, it is like a toy store for adults although I reckon bringing kids here can be a good family day out. Just send them towards the fish tanks.
This place is also huge, like football field size! If ever there was any sort of zombie apocalypse this would make the best fort.
The location is great as it is usually the first point of call when heading north for fishing or hunting and is right by one of the highways for easy access.
Not all the employees here are experts on so you really have to find and ask first who is the best staff member to ask.
The only thing I found annoying was that I was charged more for my fishing and hunting license for being a non-​resident. That kind of sucks and even more so that they sent my papers to my UK address which makes no sense.

If you are looking for the biggest store that sells anything and everything you’ll need for most outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating look no further. This store has it all! The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and pretty abundant so you won’t have too much trouble finding someone to assist. If you are looking for more gear, do yourself a favour and drop by this store. The also have a large aquarium stocked with game fish, plenty of parking and they usually have lots of activities for the kids. It is also attached to a very large mall so you can spend as much time in BPS without boring those with you, they can shop while you shop.

By far my favorite place for hunting, fishing, camping and outdoor supplies. This huge store is nearly the size of a warehouse and mostly likely has anything you need from bug spray to deer feed. Their prices are usually competitive, but don’t assume everything here is cheaper because of the «warehouse» like feel.
The downside to this great store is that at times it can get quite packed so expect to wait a while if you need help with anything and expect long lineups at the checkout line.

This store is great especially after experiencing the competition (Mountain Equipment Co-​Op) The store has everything you need for the great outdoors, Everything was well organized and at a decent price. Even freakin boats!
Just Awesome.

Ein wahnsinnig großer Outdoor Store der wirklich keine Wünsche offen lässt. Hier wird man sowohl von der Größe der Verkaufsfläche als auch vom Angebot und der Einrichtung quasi erschlagen. Es gibt wirklich eine riesen Auswahl. Diese reicht von kompletten Booten über jede Art von Bekleidung, Angelzubehör, Jagdbedarf, Zelten, ATVs, Snowmobilen, Pfeil und Bogen und vieles vieles mehr. Die Einrichtung und das gesamte aussehen dieses Ladens, der in ein Einkaufszentrum integriert ist, ist super. Es gibt riesige Becken (Aquarien so groß wie ein Swimming Pool) mit Fischen aller Arten die man beobachten kann, Wasserflugzeuge an der Decke und alles ist im Stil eines riesigen Blockhauses gestaltet. Das Verkaufspersonal ist gut geschult und sehr freundlich. Die Preise sind ok und es gibt immer tolle Angebote. Selbst wenn man nichts kaufen will lohnt es sich dieses Geschäft anzusehen. Im Urlaub komme ich hier regelmäßig vorbei und muß immer anhalten um einen Blick in diesen Laden zu werfen. Absolut zu empfehlen.
5 Sterne.

I get lost in this store because it is massive! I’m not a fisher (wo)man myself, but often find myself shopping for gear for others. I think Bass Pro has just about everything a fisherman needs. If you time your visit appropriately, you can even catch a feeding at the center of the store
I can usually find something on sale which allows me to buy more for less and they always seem to be fully stocked with all shapes, sizes and colours of whatever it is you’re looking for.
The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. On weekends, the store gets very busy, so be prepared to wait for assistance. If you happen to spend longer than expected at the store, food and drinks are just outside in the mall.
You can also order items directly from Bass Pro and they will be to your house.

If you are or know an avid outdoorsmen this store is for you. This is a massive store inside of Vaughan Mills Mall. From camping to hunting, and fishing this store has it all. I will admit that i haven’t ventured through the whole store. Its too big, but I’ve been through most of it. From inside the mall they have dead stuffed animals together in the forest, it’s sort of freaky looking at it. Inside they have a big fish tank which seems to be quite popular, as people are always gathered around and taking pictures.
Inside, the store is quite organized. They have a large camping section, which I’ve picked up a few things for random trips, such as bug spray. I’m not sure pricewise if it’s comparable. I’m sure you’ll be able to find cheaper items elsewhere but it’s worth a visit.
