Bass Pro Shop

While visiting family in Ripon, Ca. we took a drive over to Bass Pro Shops in Manteca, Ca.  It's a pretty amazing place.

When you walk in, you immediately feel like you've been transported into someone's hunting lodge.

 

Emily just wasn't sure about all this...

 

 The store is massive inside with lots of wildlife scenes.

 

The waterfall poured into an aquarium with real fish.

Brandon liked the animal tracks on the floor.

We took our pictures with the stuffed animals.  Not sure why,. I think,. it's just, when you are in a place like this,. that is what you do.

They also had one of those light activated shooting ranges like they have at Disneyland and Bravo Farms. 

 Besides sporting goods, they have boats and small vehicles.

 I have no idea what anyone would do with a giant frying pan, but they had one of those as well.

They had an indoor archery range with a certified archery instructor.  Sarah and Monique got a free lesson.

We purchased a youth bow so Sarah could continue to practice.  Shannon and Monique took a few shots.

If you ever find your way to Manteca, Ca. Bass Pro Shop is worth the stop!
