Different seasons in life, and different seasons of the year, call for different types of adventures. Sometimes an adventurous hike along the Endless Wall in the New River Gorge is what’s called for. Sometimes a scenic drive down one of West Virginia’s oldest roads is what’s called for. Sometimes a train ride through The Trough is what’s called for. But sometimes, what you really need is a cheap, indoor adventure that’s good any time of year, any day of the week, for big groups or small, for toddlers up through grandparents. And if that’s the kind of adventure you’re in the market for – fun, free, and animal themed – then what you need is a trip to the Cabela’s in Triadelphia, West Virginia.
Cabela's. You've heard of this chain of sporting goods stores that, per their website, is the foremost outfitter for the best competitively priced hunting, fishing, and outdoor gear in the world.
With dozens of stores scattered across the United States and Canada, Cabela's aren't hard to come by in North America. What is harder to find, though, is a Cabela's like the one in Triadelphia, West Virginia - one of the most outstanding examples of a Cabela's Sporting Goods Store in the nation.
From native Whitetail Deer to exotic African Safari animals to Polar Bears and more, this Cabela's is like its own Natural History Museum, and you don't even have to pay an admission fee.
That said, you should still definitely bring your wallet so you can shop for some high quality, affordable outdoor gear while you're here. There's also snack foods for sale if you and your crew get hungry.
Plus, once you've toured all the animal exhibits, try the archery range or the shooting gallery.
The Triadelphia Cabela's is even dog friendly, so you can take family members of a variety of ages and species along with you for this fun, free adventure.
Have you ever been to the Cabela’s in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia for a free animal themed adventure? Come check it out for a way above average sporting goods store experience! Bring the family. Bring friends. Bring the dog. Learn more at the Triadelphia Cabela’s website here or Facebook page here. The fun doesn’t stop here, though – when you’re finished exploring Cabela’s, check out the neighboring Russell Stover Retail Store for an ice cream treat, aisles and aisles of candy, and plenty of free samples.
