I went for my son's birthday & the staff was extremely helpful! He didn't understand what he had to do, but they were patient with him. He loves his bear! Thank you all for helping make his new friend!

Great selection and they have Halloween costumes for the dolls. The staff were friendly and greeted us when we came in.

The employees are very helpful and fun. Considering this was my first build-a-bear experience, and I'm 30, it was absolutely amazing. I got the oogie boogie with a recording of one of his songs.. I would say it's not the most affordable place, but it's definitely worth it.

Took my grandkids there to make stuffed animals. The older one loved the experience, the younger one did not. ?

Terrible employees, terrible experience. We came in very excited to do the “pay your age” as both of our boys have March birthdays (2 and 6). We told the employees we were there for our sons birthdays, and wanted the birthday bears. The manager told us they could actually pick out ANY bear, so of course they picked out different ones (we weren’t even shown the “birthday bear”). The manager went through the stuffing process so quickly and spoke so fast, you could barely understand her as an adult, let alone a 6 year old. We picked out an outfit for our older son’s bear, no outfit for our 2 year old, and they charged us $91. I tried clarifying with Thomas that the manager told us they could get any bear they wanted, and he said “well, she’s the manager on duty so she would know” in a snarky tone. No attempt to make things right, no apologies about telling us the incorrect process, NOTHING. The manager lied to my face and told me that conversation didn’t happen when we walked in. Just a terrible experience overall and ruined the fun time we wanted to have for our boys at Build A Bear. For reference, we just left the store on Saturday, 3/18 at 11:30AM. I couldn’t get the managers name. Just a sad, sad experience.
