Build A-Bear Workshop

Peter was awesome! Made my daughter’s day.
All of the staff was very friendly and the process went smoothly.

Amazingly friendly and awesome with the kids and explaining things. Our kids had a blast. Would definitely come back.

memory makers. Though a stuffed animal seems like it wont last forever, I promise building one with your child or loved one can make a memory that will never fade. The animals are relatively cheap but the accessories are very expensive. Keep in mind about $ 15 for the animal and about $ 30 for accessories if you want an average accessorized animal. You can opt for no accessories (which we do) but we always include he voice recorded memory to play later. Definitely recommended!

The staff here is very friendly and helpful, whenever I have a question they spend lots of time making sure they answer it for me, or look it up if they don’t know.
I’ve purchased a lot from here recently and I haven’t had too many problems. I have come back a few times to get repairs or fixes though, a few times the barcode was not put into my bear or the stitching came undone. They always repaired it and the repaired one never gave me problems afterwards. I don’t buy clothes very much but I buy lots of the animals and I really like their quality. There’s so much to get in store but a few times I also bought online and bringing in to stuff is just as fun.

Huge selection, friendly service, all the kids there were happy, The store was surprisingly clean considering kids were throwing things everywhere.

Stressed the heck out because you don’t know where to start when it comes to finding the perfect stuffed toy for your darling niece… DOUBLE CHECK
I walked in with an over-​the-​top stuffed toy in mind because that’s kinda my thing since DN was born. I look around, with my friends from Portland with me of course as advisors, and see all kinds of things that would make me yet again the BEST UNCLE EVER!!! As I saw all these potential stuffed toys with their pre-​stuffed heads and lifeless appendages, I began to panic that is until one of the associates gave me a paper bag (not really).
She showed me their new My Little Pony line especially the girl one named Pinkie Sue, Pinkie Poo, Pinkie Doo… umm…oh yeah that’s right it was Pinkie Pie! This thing was pink with a bright pink mane and tail along with some rainbow markings and of course big blue eyes like my DN! This was the one so we went over to get her stuffed and I got the run down on everything that happens during the stuffing stage. I opted to have a beating heart added (extra charge) to the pony and they provide a fabric heart you’re supposed to kiss, rub and do other things to make the stuffed animal have certain qualities, honestly I felt like such a fool but this was in the name of my DN so I had to soldier on.
After the stuffing, I was encouraged to accessorize. There were full outfits, jewelry, the works. I just settled for a rainbow tutu (extra charge) since that is a complete contrast to my very masculine ways *cough*. The final step was naming this explosion of girlie rainbowy cuteness and happened to be the most maddening. I literally sat there on a kid computer to complete the process of making the birth certificate that is included with the stuffed animal and fabric heart. I literally blanked on what to name this thing until, with the help of my friends who at this time have laughed so hard they were red in the face, they suggested I name her Rosie after the Rose City which Portland is nicknamed.
The staff were great and I actually had a good time but it’s highly advisable you bring your kids so you don’t look like one of those creeps who drive around in windowless vans. That is all.
