I took my 3 year old and she loved it. The store is clean. You pick out stuffed animals to make! We had so much fun we made matching snowman. When your done adding the fluffy stuff. You can dress them up in outfits and pick diffrent accesories. They have a great selection for both boys and girls. It is a little epensive average price is around $20 dollars for just the stuffed animal. But my daughter had so much fun she still talking about how we made our own snowman.

PROS: Fun, hand on!
CONS: expensive!

I have never in my life seen so many different bears and costumes for bears - this place is a blast not only for kids but for parents as well! You get to pick a bear, a sound fo rinside the bear, and clothing and accessories for the bear - then they stuff it and you can get a birth certificate and story for your bear as well...it's never ending (although so is the cost) and is such fun! Yo ucan easily get out of there for $25 per child if you choose teh basic bear and low end clothing for the bear...and it's a fun afternoon for the family.

PROS: so much selection and such fun
CONS: expensive

I would recommend Build A Bear for any childs event or to celebrate a special occasion. Although the cost may seem high for first-timers, Build A Bear offers very good incentives for repeat visitors. They mail coupons for dollars off and have a summer reading program for children to encourage them to read. Their support of the local community endears this business to me and I don't mind spending there because they also give back.

We enjoyed a birthday party at this Build A Bear Workshop location. The kids had a blast - the staff were SO much fun and kep the kids' attention. My only gripe is that when it came time for the birthday cake they set us up in the hallway of the mall. Iunderstand they couldn't serve cake in the store or all teh bears risk getting sticky...but they should build a room on the side because having cake in teh middle of the mall thoroughfare was really tacky.

PROS: Tons of fun
CONS: Birthday cake in the mall hallway

This place is the cutest. You go in and pick out your own bear and then you stand in line to go and actually fill up your bear with stuffing.. after that you take him to a changing table like you would a little baby and you put on a cute outfit you pick out for him. It could be any outfit, from sports, armed forces, housewife, baby, etc. they have it all. Even little booties to put on and accessories.. Its great.... The kids love to go there and fill their own bear.. Price is right. Your new bear even comes home in its own home box.
