Academy Sports + Outdoors 7611 North Grand Prairie Drive, Peoria, IL 61615

"Very well laid out and clean. Prices are very reasonable. Much better than BP unless your going to sightsee."

"I like it but only a few employees to help you, but they were acknowledgable. But need a lot of work to be as good as Bass Pro Shop."

"If you are purchasing items from academy as gifts, do not use anything other than cash. Personally I will not purchase items to give as gifts. My son received items for Christmas purchased at Academy in Peoria. They did not fit. I had to return the items. Only option was to have the amount put back on the card used to purchase. I asked for gift card or cash."

"It was okay, but nothing to rave about in my opinion. Typical comes to mind. I was just in the area and decided to visit. I wouldn't drive across town to just shop here, but may drop in if I'm in the area for other things."

"Went and visited Academy sports today for the grand opening and I have to say the store was quite nice! Everything was so perfectly stacked in line, in order and everything was priced. There were quite a few people there but it was also the grand opening so it was expected. All of the employees were very friendly and asked if I needed any help finding anything and many employees were available for help if needed. Ended up scoring a 10x10 ft canopy for $29.99 and they they have some other Grand Opening deals too! They have one line for the checkout and they announce when the next cashier is available. Sherry was my cashier and she was very friendly. They have a promo right now that if you sign up for the credit card you get $15 off of your purchase. Very nice store and will be returning."
