Build-A-Bear-Workshop

I brought my daughter here on a Saturday night after we watched Cinderella at the AMC. THERE WERE KIDS EVERYWHERE!!! The line was long and screaming kids were everywhere. I looked at the young lady making my daughter’s Princess Aurora Cat and asked her if it is always like this. And she said, it’s actually slow right now. Really? If this is your «slow» I am so thankful I don’t work here. Those kids will drive you crazy!!!
There are a lot of different items to pick from though. There’s probably over 100 different animals to choose from to get stuffed and just as many outfits.
My daughter loved the experience so it was worth it, but next time I go, I’m taking ear plugs!

Only been here twice, once in ’09 and today. They moved next to Macy’s to make more room for other stores. They updated their things to, the wait for the stuffing is kind of long but everyone is always nice. Oh and just stick with just the bear and not clothes and voice things. lol: D

This has been the nemesis of parents and grandparents with small kids for a long time. Very fun concept, quality product. They do cycle through new characters with time, including the new Spongebob and Patrick. I’ll admit some older kids and adults love this place as well. Yes, it’s a place to spend your disposable income on something fun, but worth it.

It’s a Build A Bear, right! So what else is there to say about them. Loads of kids going nuts in there. The staff either looking very happy that they get to play with stuffed toys all day or very tired that they have to deal with screaming kids all day.
They have lots of clothes for the animals and now they have Smurfs you can make! Cool — if you are into Smurfs. For me the highlight (and the reason) for my visit was to get an Angry Bird stuffy for the kid. I had fun just standing there pressing their buttons and hearing the game noises.
I was just a bit miffed when I discovered a toy store in Polaris (can’t recall the name of it) had same birds for $ 2 cheaper along with birds you could suction cup to your window. Less expensive, yes! More fun than Build A Bear? nope!

Exciting store full of stuff animals, with clothing and accessories for them. I have 3 bears of which I buy outfits for. Just bought an OSU football uniform for one of my bear along with cleats. Cute right. I am a big kid.
Nice place for all ages if you like to stuff animals and clothe them like you do your children. Or it is nice for collector like me.
