Cabela's, the nation's premier outdoors retailer, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011. Started as a kitchen table mail order operation in Chapel, Nebraska in 1961, Cabela's has grown into a worldwide mail order, retail, and internet phenomenon.
Cabela's is known for its exhaustive selection of outdoor recreation goods, including everything you need for hunting, fishing, camping, boating, and more. Cabela's is likewise known for very high quality gear which is marketed under the Cabela's brand, besides offering all the other well-known brands in the outdoor sporting marketplace.
Set on 28.6 acres, Cabela's Glendale store opened in the summer of 2006. The store exhibits more than 400 stuffed animals in realistic outdoor displays, from an elephant and rhino to pronghorn antelope and Coues deer. Many of those appear on a 29-foot "conservation mountain," with a trout pond, running waterfalls and a beaver dam.
The mountain showcases the "grand slam of sheep" (bighorn sheep, desert bighorn, Dall's sheep and Stone's sheep); the "four bears" (black, brown, grizzly and polar); and moose from Alaska, Yukon Territory, Wyoming and Canada.
Meanwhile, hundreds of freshwater fish are stocked in a 40,000-gallon walk-through aquarium. Interactive kiosks with touch screens keep children busy, prompting them to identify each species and describe its characteristics.
As are all the Cabela's retail stores, the Glendale Cabela's is a regional destination for all outdoor enthusiasts.
