We went for the birthday bear. It was our first time and the staff were great, super helpful, and sweet. The place was clean and my kid had the experience they had hoped for in creating their little Slytherin birthday bear. The price was about 50 for the bear & a couple of accessories.

Took my niece for some long over due birthday shopping. It was her 1st time and the employees were absolutely great. It wasn't busy at all so they gave us a lot of attention and made sure our experience was a great one. She made her bear and picked out her clothes and named her. Best experience for her and I both!
