I've learned so much by shopping at REI , from both the employees and customers. Everyone is so friendly there! Plus, the rock climbing gym is great.

Corey Partin

LOVE this store! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable . The selection is awesome and offers something for everyone. As an avid adventure traveler and urban explorer this is my first stop!

Become a member! It's $20 for a lifetime membership and gives you access to the members only room where items are 25-75% off as well as free access to the rock wall!

Matt Schmoeckel

Find the second floor and browse the returned items to find some great deals on lightly used gear.

Adam Poetter

The staff in the designated sections can range from extremely educated and helpful to elitist. It can be very easy to find yourself swayed to items way over your head in price or skill level.

Brandon Sullivan

Stocks only functional, stylish & affordable snowboard bags for women. Men pay twice the price for something just as nice. Women's bag for sure, then.

Michael Sande

Dan L in snowboards is super knowledgeable ! He fit my family of 6 into snowboard and nordic packages and we are super happy.

Don't forget to dress up in all your REI gear when you go shopping at REI for more gear!

Amanda Larson

Check out the upstairs area for discounted items and member-only deals on used clothing and gear.

Simon Anderson

Great place for gear if you're the "outdoorsy" type. More expensive than the average sporting goods store, but you get what you pay for.

Has a sweet climbing wall, it's really a big REI

Ask for service as you walk in. They post someone at the door to greet you but it's a challenge to get help once you're back in the store. - C
