    We took my 3 year old to see Santa. The sign said he'd be back after a break. There were no signs saying santa was by appointment only. At 3pm, santa came back & everyone lined up. We waited in line for 15 minutes before an elf came up & told us that it was by appointment only and you had to make an appointment and come back another time because the line was too long. Yeah, we waited in the long line. Then I had to carry out my screaming crying 3 year old of the store. There were other families around us that were told the same thing and they also had to leave. We had been hanging around the santa area for 20 minutes prior waiting for him to return and there were no signs that said you needed an appointment. That's ridiculous. The line wasn't weaving through the store, it was only to the end of the Santa's village section. It isn't covid anymore, you shouldnt need an appointment to see santa.

    Such a clean and organized store! Every area was well staffed. The milkshake was delicious and the Santa set up was adorable! Highly recommend. Way better than Cabela’s! Fish tank was a hit of course!

    If you are looking for something to do in downtown Peoria, go right across the bridge to the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World in East Peoria. Upon opening the door you walk into a room with an amazing fireplace and now a huge Christmas tree 🎄. The store is pet friendly so your pet or children will enjoy the wildlife that surrounds you throughout the entire store. Don't forget to checkout the enormous fish tank. They have men and women's clothing,home decor, and of course all kinds of sporting good equipment. From candles to beef jerky you are sure to find your treasures. Don't forget to stop by the bakery that has lots of mouth watering choices of fudge. I noticed they are setting up a section for the arrival of Santa for your pups or children, along with Christmas gifts for children. We enjoy seeing our favorite cashier Melody. She is always so friendly, helpful,and efficient. You'll love your time here with so much to look at and to buy.

    I went in to buy a knife and needed assistance because it was behind a counter. I spoke to 3 different employees to ask for assistance, who all told me they'd get someone right over. I waited for about 15 minutes while I watched several more employees walk by or stand around but I couldn't get anyone to help. I'd much rather spend my money buying locally, even if it is a big chain, than shop online. I don't understand businesses who don't make providing good customer service a priority. I've already found the knife cheaper online on Amazon, and I'll shop there if they don't want to prioritize selling to customers who come in.
