Build-A-Bear Workshop

Went here for a birthday party. I didn’t even know they did birthday party celebrations here. Anyways, it is such a cute idea! The party is inside the store not in a private area or anything but there is enough room for the kids to be comfortable. It would be cool if they did have a private room though, however the experience was still good. So there is a staff member that is assigned to the group that hypes up the kids and takes them around telling them what to do. Choosing the bear, the clothes and then when their bear is done, they do a little walkway show showing off their bear. As I understand they do not allow you to bring food for the party, but there are lots of restaurants around the mall to go take your party and eat after which is what my friend did. The most important thing is that the kids had fun and they get to take home a bear… super cute!

We planned a birthday party here a few years ago. The staff was very attentive, fun, and friendly. The store was clean and had a good selection of bears and accessories.

This place is really cute for little kids.
You pick out which kind of stuffed animal you want, then you go over to the machine that fills it with stuffing. There you can add scent, a voice recording, and a beating heart to your stuffed toy.
That’s what kind of annoyed me. The staff asks the children, not the adults, about all of these extras. The price is posted but never mentioned, and all together will add an extra $ 16 to your toy. And what the heck do kids know about add-on’s? They say yes to everything.
I felt like a jerk having to intervene when the girl asked my kid, «What do you want your teddy bear to smell like?!» because we’re not big fans of artificial scents, I had no idea how strong the scent would be, and I didn’t want my kid sneezing her face off after spending over $ 50 on a stuffed bear.
They should ask the parents about the add-​on features before telling the kids to grab all of these items to shove inside the bears.
After your toy is stuffed you take it over for a «bath» and brushing, and then you move on to picking out an outfit.
There’s a huge variety of outfits with coordinating accessories. Everything from Miami Heat jerseys to wedding dresses.
The staff was friendly and really well trained on selling you all sorts of things to go with your new toy. Be prepared to spend over $ 50 per child, but also be prepared to have a wonderful experience.
The store is located between the PF Changs and the movie theater entrance.

Prices are high, but if you have children, this is a must do!
The staff walks you through the process, is polite.
There are tons of different «looks» to choose from. Half the fun is picking out the clothing and the accessories.
Do come prepared to spend about $ 40-​$ 50 though, as the clothing and accessories sure add up.
My daughter loves this store!

If you have children, this is just about the cutest of the cutest as it gets!!!
I took my daughter there yesterday, and it was just a great experience. When you walk in, there is a wall of unstuffed bears, dogs, cats, and even a hello kitty doll– The staff who were there on this day were very nice at explaining everything to me on how purchasing the items worked. After picking her bear, the staff members stuff the bear with the cotton, and my daughter placed a small red heart inside her bear, and before that the staff made her say a little poem about taking care of her bear, and giving her bear love and giving a home– it was just the cutest. Then after that, the real fun begins and we went «shopping» for bear clothes— which they have a gazzillion different cute outfits to choose from, and they even have panties for the bears!!! Not only outfits, but shoes, and accessories, for «boy» and «girl» bears. They even have «baby bear» outfits, and princess outfits for the bears (or whatever other animal the kid chooses). After picking out the cutes outfit, and shoes, we wrote up a «birth certificate» of the bear and gave the bear a name— how cute is that? The store was very clean, lots of things to choose from, and they are not as expensive as I thought. $ 32/​for a bear with clothing, shoes, and a small shoulder bag (free), and a free online game to play with the bear. Overall, this store is just the best. I would definitely recomend this store to other people!
