They are always helpful and knowledgeable about their products and services. They are friendly and seem to enjoy what they do.Great place to find the things you need for sports, outdoor activities and fun.
Well youll definitely find just about any of your adult and children sporting equipment and clothing. They do sell the highest quality equipment, but keep in mind that kind of quality definitely comes at a price ... A REAL high price $$$. Id shop around for the best prices you can find before landing yourself here.
They are only doing apps and sushi due to limited staff and that was OK but the pepper in my firecracker app was RAW and cold. Then our baked sushi was cold. No bueno.
Nice store great selection. Great clearance sale
Nice selection of gear.Staff was helpful.
It could be so much better but the staff seem so incredibly bored and disconnected that its depressing even going in there. Granted my experiences have been few, but they are batting 1000. This place could use some serious motivation
Almost half of my items were marked differently from what rang up. There were several items that were off between $2 and $5 more an item. I caught just over $25 in over charges on a receipt of only $86. Isnt there law about this? If I hadnt of been watching I would have been overcharged. Buyer beware!
Great hours. Biking accessories section was limited. Was looking for locks and on bike storage bags.
Nice store but when I tried to find what I was looking for it took three associates to help me find it. One just pointed and said its over that way, one said we dont carry that anymore, and finally a very nice young man showed me right to it.
Always a well kept store. I have never had a bad experience. I dont like the way they currently have their checkout lines. But thats just nitpicking. Prices on some things are the only thing keeping them at 4 stars.
Love this place. Go in here often for outdoor supplies. #1 go to place
Was over charged for 2 items that were very clearly marked on sale today. Cashier called shoe department and then informed me I was in error and that shoes weren’t for sale. Before she could call for price check on second item I volunteered to run back and photograph signs because I felt very confident I had looked closely at signs. The entire price tag sign had suspiciously been removed from the shoes after the cashier called. I’m guessing because it was marked on sale like I thought and they were going to change it. The second item I was able to photograph the sign with sale price that was advertised. Cashier did end up honoring both sale prices without hassle when I told her I thought it was suspicious that the shoes all of the sudden had no price sign up after it was checked on. Every other pair of shoes still had a price sign up. I’ve shopped at Academy for years but after today’s experience I don’t think I’ll return. I’m giving 2 stars just because the cashier was professional and it wasn’t her fault someone else acted dishonestly by removing the sign.
Only reason Im giving in 0 stars is because I ordered a CRKT Minimalist and a Buck 252 that was around $60. And I just got an email saying were sorry we cancel an item because we didnt have it stocked i said okay atleast it just one. NOPE they canceled BOTH of my knife purchases. I spent hours on their website picking these two knives. Both of them said available for pickup today. Which is Tuesday, July 6Th. This is the 3rd times this has happened just in a few months. I will no longer EVER come into academy again nor shop online. Of you guys dont have it in stock its easy. Simply mark it on the website as NOT IN STOCK.Im just really upset because I wasted a lot of time picking those out and was looking forward to adding those to my collection. Goodbye.
Very clean and friendly, it was even closing time and i squeezed in the out door when someone was coming out and they didnt say anything, just helped me ! 😁 I bought a sain so I could catch minnows, to catch bass down below the Disney Dam in okl.
Always a great selection for athletic gear. Great value for back to school shopping.
Been shopping here for years. Picked up everything from golf to bbq. Great place for all sporting needs
The shoe selection it perfect, thats my main reason for going to the store.
Consistent. Had everything available I was looking for.
Everybody seems to find awesome deals on the clearance rack there...everybody but me. I do like their own brand of workout clothes. Very reasonably priced and fashionable. They have a great selection of kayaks and tubes for summer fun.
I love the merchandise that they carry.
It was fairly busy around 1pm. Looking for a couple specific items which was found. Overall even though the store itself was clean it looked empty. Maybe sparse is a better word. Stimulus checks must of hit days eairler which may explain some thinning areas of merchandise.
They have nice and helpful staff that will check on you if you need help or need something.
Good selection of fishing equipment store associates kind of hover though.
Parking lot was clean and well lit. Store was clean well laid out. Easy to find products. Employees were helpful and friendly.
Love this place! Its where we buy our shoes.
Great selection of sports equipment especially for littles.
Love it. 4/5 of the exception on this one guy behind the gun counter. Always in a bad mood. makes me in a bad mood and Im sure others. Ive seen it more than once. Hes toxic.
Went into the store about 4 o’clock on a Tuesday afternoon had a specific pistol that I wanted to buy there was multiple sales associates all around the store the one I happen to pick at the gun counter was talking to another employee and I literally stood there for minutes wasn’t even acknowledged when I finally said something about them being busy they said ahhh we can help you and of course I left the store looks like I need to take a trip to Cabela’s
Its a chain sporting good store. If you know you know.
This is a really nice place to shop with really nice helpful people working here.
They always have what we need. Good Assortment of Mdse.
I went there today to look at the bows and crossbows and I had ask the only old guy that was back there a question and he told me he was on the phone but would get back with me. I walked away to look around in the hunting and fishing area and two other people showed up. He asked them if they needed any help and they told him they were just killing time. I dont understand!!!! You mean to tell me that you cant help me and in 5min I walk around and you try to help someone else but you refuse to help me? That doesnt make any sense. Everytime I go into this store theres either no one to be found or theres just one guy talking on the phone. You guys need to find more people to work in the hunting area. I dont appreciate disrespect. I asked for help and the dude wouldnt help me. Get better people that arent so damn lazy.
Brook sneakers, great clothing, and tent selection!
Always plenty of stock to choose from. Helpful staff
Greatest place to get shoes and ammo all in 1 place :)
Low ammo, service for guns is bad, need to raise your hand to get someones attention.
Busy and packed. But, if you want it... pretty sure they have it.
Pretty good selection of kids bikes and equipment and a fair price. An employee provided an air pump to air up a low tire. A manager followed up.
Always have just what I need. Outdoorsmans heaven!
Had some trouble with online order pickup. But big friendly place.
Went for a firearm related purchase.Dude behind the counter was very kind and knowledgeable. Super patient as the background check took a hot minute too.Prices are good, but limited ammo available. Cant fault them as its down to corona and shipping restrictions. Probably more suited for sporting rifles, but you can definitely grab a handgun from a small selection of popular manufacturers including Taurus, S&W and Glock.
Quick easy in easy out. The trouble is the guest it with masks. How in the world are we going to stop Covid if you dont where Im at
Good shoe collection and well ordered so you can actually find things.
An associate named Alex was really stepped up to help me make my choices and seemed pretty knowledgeable about the products.
Love the great Atmosphere. Friendly fast service.
Clean store but they need more help
Helpful friendly folks to help everyone
I am glad there is an Academy store in Joplin as I have a love and hate relationship with Dunham Sports! On this recent trip I stopped in to find a 6 gallon bucket. My family and I go through popcorn extremely fast, so I got an idea to buy a 50lb bag from Sams club. A 50lb sack of popcorn does not look great in the pantry, so I needed a container to put it in. I figure a typical 5lb bucket would be too small and headed to Academy to find this bucket! To my surprise they carried them, and were on clearance for just under $5! I got home, cleaned the bucket out and then poured close to 50lbs of popcorn in the bucket. There was a little bit left over that i was able to fit in a Zip Lock bag. Academy carries it all, the one gripe I have is trying to find kids shoes. It might be my bad luck, but every time I find a pair of shoes my kids like, they dont carry the size. Academy, thanks for rebuilding after the Tornado as it is great to have options for sporting goods in Joplin, MO! The opinions stated here are my own and not provided to me by the owner/operator of this establishment.

Firearms sales are final despite being told incorrect and misleading information by the sales staff, and being in all the original packaging - stickers, box, tags & all. I understand the policy but if a company refuses to hold itself accountable for lying to customers, Ill no longer patronize them. Id prefer to pay few dollars extra to a local company with common sense and customer service. FYI, the Savage Axis butt stock spacer is not removable.
Got just about everything for outdoor fun. And then some more.
Very helpful but expensive seldom have what we need in stock
Nice place. Very polite employees
We love shopping here always find something we like and always get what I want
Went to buy camping chairs found a great deal.
Love academy but the prices are rising. Used to be could get here forLess. But you know vote for Biden it will be fun they said.... lol
Love love love this store! Anything sports you need they have it!
Had a great selection of shoes making buying much easier due to not having to run all over Joplin
Clean, organized, & great customer service!

Clean place. Great deals
Very crowded. But cashier was friendly
Great sports and energy foods. Mostly...💪
Very good store, have a good stock of fishing gear
I love our Academy Sport. They have always went above and beyond to meet customer satisfaction needs.
Its full of hooks, offering on the web a couple of long sleeved shirts, but they dont say that is only a couple of them and XXL just brown.
Great people and friendly
They had what I wanted a XL easy chair for outside. It opens easy & the seat height is at the right spot because I have long legs. Very comfortable to sit in. Drink holder works great. Employees are very helpful.
If you need a knife they probably have one.
I gave Academy five stars because the staff are always helpful even when the store is filled with shoppers. The store is clean. I found just what I wanted. Check out was a breeze!
Great store. Good buys.
I was there a couple weeks ago. I bought a boat. The person filled out my paperwork. She signed the title. Well actually. She signed the Example title. So when went to get my boat registration i was told i had to go back. Ive never titled a. Boat before. When i get back to Academy the manager is disgusted acting. She fills in the front of title and doesnt sign the back as required by law! She laughed at me to another employee on my way out. So im back at DMV. (20 miles away). They ask whats going on with them? They show me where they need to sign. I go back to Academy! [20. Miles]. I get there and explain their mistake and the manager woman tried blaming it on DMV and never apologized to me at all. The Director then took over. A tree has more personality. But who. Cares right? He said we dont usually fill these out at all!! Thats illegal!! But not my job. But he didnt even want to sign it in the places i was told by DMV . I wouldve have to go back again if i listened to genius. I think im owed qn apology at the minimum. A 1/4 tank of gas too.
I love the store but here lately they never have any ammo ANY!!
Hot salty fries 🍟
The place is changing, but I guess thats how things are. Still has good stuff, though. And some pretty good deals, from time to time.
Shoe department sucks at organization and making it easy to look for what you need when I asked for help guy rolled his eyes and said just make sure you clean up after yourselves just rude and disrespectful cashiers were nice though...
They are always out of the items Im looking for
Drove a hour to look at Iron sets which on line said they had in stock. Golf club variety was pathetic. On top of that the rest rooms where closed.
Finally found a place with wood for my smoker
I like Dunhams better in Joplin
Huge selection of popular brands
Check out guy was really rude!
The employees were really helpful
Awesome place to find athletic clothing and more
Great service and prices.
Not a single course schedule in the entire building. After all the years I spent hooking to get through law school, this place really let me down....
Had to return boots that didnt fit. It was a fast and easy process.
Way too proud of there bicycles at 129.99 to 350.00 when I could get the exact same thing at Walmart for half the price
Very nice store well stocked at Christmas time and friendly helpful staff
Usually I find rhe best name brand deals here.
