Best Climbing Shops In Hartford Near Me

4worldlovers:
We’re not just a store, we’re a destination. A hidden gem, Cabela’s of East Hartford is centrally located in the middle of Connecticut on a portion of a 624-acre mixed-use development at historic Rentschler Field and is easily accessible from one of the state’s major highways. The impressive 185,000-sq.-ft. two floor retail showroom is both an educational and entertainment attraction.

Whether you are going fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, camping or just chillin’ in your backyard, our outfitters are at the ready to assist you. There is a vast array of rods, bows, and firearms to choose from. Speak with an outfitter about your needs and wants from getting the right apparel to keep you comfortable and performing your best, to the right tools to close deal on your outing.

The Tracker Boats family is always growing. There is a boat for every need from bass fishing to lazy pontooning on the lake. When you’re done on the water, hop on your Tracker Off Road UTV or ATV to tear up the land for fun or work.

You’ll be greeted as you come in by our store outfitter flying his yellow plane over our taxidermy mountain display which shows animals from all over the world. On the side of the display is a small pond where kids big and small can feed the fish. Look for the secret opening in the middle of the mountain that houses 2 fish tanks with live fish.

Cabela’s in East Hartford is a great stop for family fun! Throughout the year you can expect events and seminars from our catch and release pond in the summer to our Santa’s Wonderland event in November and December. Kids can even test their shooting skills at our instore laser shooting gallery. Looking for a place to hold meetings or other events? Book one of our conference rooms.

Best place to learn everything you need to know about rock climbing.... We were in Delaware for a weekend, went to a rock climbing gym, staff there were impressed with what (had been previously) taught us.

Overall, this place is mad fun to be in. Very addicting. This place will keep you motivated if you're not someone that likes to get to the gym.
