The workers their gave us a great experience. It was my daughters 3 rd birthday! They also had alot of patience and compassion as they helped us pick out our things. We went during the week, on a Thursday.It wasnt a busy day , so we got the full experience.

Build-A-Bear was okay—fun experience, but nothing too special. Good for kids, just not something I’d do often.

Excellent service, these people are so nice and sweet, they made this experience so natural and welcoming, they really pay attention to detail, only reason I'm giving four stars is this one did hurt my pockets 😬 but awesome bears
