I've been there. It's a nice store. About as big as Cabelas and they have boats to look at.

The taxidermy displays are probably better at Cabelas.

Also, it's attached to a mall so there's something for the ladies to do if they get bored.

I live in Bridgewater and it's about a 2 1/2 hr ride for me...about an hour past Cabelas on rt 78.

Arty, your better off going to Gander Mtn.

Unless you got a gift certificate or something.

I might be making a trip up there soon myself. I need some ice fishing stuff.  ;D

Its a nice store but not one of their big stores (in a mall type setting. ABout 90 Min trip.  I would not make a special trip to it, if you are going to the Harrisburg Sport Show, it is not far and worth a ride.

The Cabela's store is much better (and Closer)

I was there a couple years ago when my wife had to go out there for her work.  It was Superbowl weekend.  I went to Bass Pro, Cabelas and the Harrisburg Sports Show that weekend.

Bass Pro was cool! t^
Cabelas was visually amazing! t^ t^
The Sports Show was not for me.  Not really any fishing stuff there.  Although, for avid hunters it seemed to have everything! t^   

If I remember correctly, (which I often don't) the Bass Pro was about 3 hours from Ocean County.
