- LKLee Kay4 days ago5.0Expensive, but Cabela's is a great place. They have events where you can save money or get free stuff. There's still all the stuffed animals and fishtank, so kids can enjoy it too. You can find pretty much anything you need for outdoor activities, and there's a wide collection of clothing from things to wear in the dirt or things to wear to a nice event. Service is friendly and accommodating.
- KJKevin Myers Jr4 days ago5.0Pet friendly, was able to bring my dog with no issues. Staff were extremely helpful and courteous. Great atmosphere for the family. Stop and see Santa. Good vibes all around
- JBJennifer burgessNov 11, 20252.0Most of the staff was kind and helpful. There was one employee with Santa who has bo clue what is going on. We had an appointment tment but came early and we're told bot a problem they would be starting at 430 ( 30min fron when we arrived) we waited until 5 only to be told that story time was first. That was 45 min then we had to wait on line until after all of the story time people recieved photo's now we are at our appointment time. We had 3 second with Santa. A very short phot and were not even asked if we wanted to buy a package. We drove 3 hours to see Santa next time we will go to cabelas in PA. Also a 3 hour drive.Same deal for pictures but the experience in the past was much better.
- CCCraig CurrierNov 10, 20254.0This store is alright. They were low on alot of stock. Empty spots on the shelves. They do have a good selection of items when in stock. The staff is always helpful. The prices for ammo is better then most brick and mortar stores. They could use more staff in the archery area as no one was around when I was over there looking at buying a left handed bow. Plenty of staff in the gun area. Got help with in 2 minutes of walking over there.
- LCLuis CastrellonNov 4, 20254.0⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cabela’s East Hartford is an amazing place to visit, especially if you love outdoor gear or are looking for a fun family outing. My kid went on their own to pay with my credit card, and the process was easy and secure, which was a huge relief. The staff went above and beyond — they talked to my whole family, were super friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Everyone felt included and comfortable, and it really made the experience enjoyable for all of us. The store itself is huge with so many interesting displays, from camping and fishing gear to hunting equipment and even live animal exhibits. It’s a fun place to explore, and the variety of products is impressive. Overall, a fantastic experience for both kids and adults, and I highly recommend visiting if you want a mix of shopping and family-friendly fun!
