Build-A-Bear Workshop

First time being here and it was a pleasant experience. The workers are very nice and go that extra mile to make your experience very pleasant and enjoyable. I love how The worker Jenni is ! She is such a sweetheart !!! She doesn’t only sit there and stuff the bear but actually makes it very exciting for kids my daughter loved her ! I was so pleased with her !!! She is great!!! Will definitely be coming back here.

Man this place, from a kids perspective probably pretty awesome but from an adult’s… So overpriced.
They literally have so much a la cart items it is crazy. Voice boxes, beating hearts, shoes, underwear, glasses, hats, roller skates… You name it they have it. Their sales associates are really good at hustling those little kids too, like «oOoo do you like this or what else are you going to get for your bear, they would sure look good in this shirt, or this hat». Luckily our children were pretty pumped with what they had, and we didn’t have to go crazy though I put a limit on what they could get.
Again it is all about the kids so whatever makes them happy, but so much more could be done with the money you spend in these places. Also the location is at one of the busiest malls I have ever been to. Good Gravy this mall is a jungle and good luck with parking.

I came here with my girlfriend and her kid for fun on the last LA Trip. We have a build a bear here in Vancouver, however, the selections and options here are more fun. I helped put the bear together which was super fun. Way friendly staff than the Metrotown location in Vancouver. Very patient and kid friendly.

Love coming here employees are so nice. My princesses had fun thanks. Will be back soon to make more memories together.

So much fun and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Ask for Anthony, he’s the best!
I own nearly 130 furry friends. Love tham so much
Back in 2007 for my wedding, one was my ‘Ring bear’ and the other my ‘Flower bear’!

This place can get pretty hectic and crazy, but the employees here are very good at helping you along to get what you need. I have been to this store twice now and the employees here are super friendly and helpful. Every employee I saw was smiling and seemed to enjoy working there. Customer service is something that is a big deal to me and they are awesome at it. They are very good at offering to help you if you can’t decide on something or just in general. I wish more stores would be this friendly and efficient.

My kid loves this store and for the most part, the staff is super friendly and enjoy working there.

No new clothes for me as they havent restocked. Plus new sales staff is annoyingly overselling to customers who are just trying to pay and leave so the lines are long and slow.

We just went to a birthday party here. My kids were told they had $ 14 to outfit their bears. The problem was that my child wanted an outfit that was $ 15. I thought I could just pay the $ 1 difference, NO!
They would not do that. So we had to buy a whole separate outfit. My qualm is with their inability to allow me to use the allocated party dollars and pay the difference. It made the experience feel cheap and manipulative.

Build a bear is awesome. Staff here is always friendly and they have so much to choose from! There can be a bit of a wait on busy weekends but totally worth it to get a personalized ‘friend’. They even have sales on clothing or animals sometimes now. This location is NY far the best build a bear workshop I’ve been to.

Are the guys who work here are so nice and so lovely! We bought two bears here a while back –The staff was lovely and so nice! Recently one of my son’s Bears (from another store) ripped his ear and we came here and they stitched him right up even though we didn’t buy the Bear here.
They just earned a customer for life! They were so nice!

This is a great location ! Had great service both Saturday (valentines day) and today by the same person! Tricia I am pretty sure is her name ! Both times she was extremely friendly and nice in a very genuine way ! I showed her a picture of my little brother who’s giraffe she stuffed on Saturday and she asked how he liked it and was extremely nice and helpful both times! She’s great !

I’ve been to a couple of Build-​a-​Bear workshops & this is by far THE BEST!
my niece had such an amazing time, everything is touch-​screen which I’ve yet to see elsewhere & the staff is so friendly & helpful. I recommend this Build-​a-​Bear workshop out of all in the L.A./West L. A/​East L.A. area. I promise it will be worth the drive.
honestly the best… thanks guys!

I must say, I had a great time here…
First time customer of this business in general and for my first experience I had the pleasure of working with Fredy (yes, spelled with one D), a friendly, fun and extremely pleasant staff member of this business.
I wanted to get my fiancé something as she was dealing with a lot of stress and I knew from the beginning I wanted to get her a toothless (How to Train your Dragons). Fredy showed me the entire process from putting the heart on the table and picking out key characteristics of your animal to placing him on a table to create his birth certificate.
The stuffing process is really cool to watch and I was shown exactly what children get to go through which was pretty awesome! They have a large variety of ‘extras’ you can add, such as voices and scents. I purchased a strawberry scent for toothless and a heart-​shaped button that actually beats like a heart when pressed. It’s also pretty awesome that they put a bar-​code inside of the animal in case it gets lost and returned to a build-​a-​bear workshop.
All in all, my first and only experience here was amazing. The place was extremely clean, very vibrant in colors and a friendly up-​lifting staff. I think I wound up paying $ 37… not somewhere I’d go often as I don’t have children, but it’d be a wise decision to come in here for your kids, significant other or just to check the place out!

I took my 8 year old daughter, Jazlyn, her 9 year old sister, Trinity and her 8 year old bff for Jazzy’s birthday. They had a blast. After 2 ponies capes, shoes, skates, leashes and bridges, plus one harajuku panda, shoes and skates, (ordered a bunch of clearance harajuku clothed and accessories online the night before for a GREAT price), we were out $ 200-​ish. Not bad. A lot cheaper than one might expect from when the place first opened. The bears start at $ 12.
I called the day before tip book a party but they need 6 day notice, but I spoke with Anthony who was super nice and had me all excited to go.
We were helped out by a few of the happy people who work there but my favorite was Gabriel. LOVE HIM :-)
He was wonderful and the whole reason for me writing my first Unilocal review.
If you have an extra $ 20 — $ 30 and want to do something cool for a kid, go to the Del Amo Mall, by the food court, Build A Bear and ask for Gabriel.

took my kids here to build their first friend. it was a pleasant experience and staffs were all friendly and patient. will definitely come here again and worth the 30 min drive.

Today I went into Build-​A-​Bear with my eight year old sister for her birthday. I had a great time with her, and everything was very smooth and organized. She loved every second, and the staff were very helpful and energetic. They have over 20 bears to choose from with a good amount of outfits and accessories. I haven’t been since I was her age and I was having a blast helping her make her bear. The staff member who helped us, Marleen, was so nice and she seemed like she really loved her job. She asked my sister how her birthday went and it was very genuine and she made the experience that much better. Plus, my little sister loved her. She made her a birthday badge and even suggested for us to go to the Disney store for a birthday crown and pin!
Overall we had a great time. Marleen, if you see this, thank you so much for helping us, you were awesome!

The staff were extremely nice people. There were many outfits and accessories to choose from and my daughter loved her experience there. We were greeted right away, and the staff did a great job creating an experience… I almost felt like I was adopting a child. We had to had the bear stuffed which was kind cool and a quick process. Next, we had to select a heart and go through a bit of a ceremony before placing it inside the bear. My daughter was able to try on numerous outfits before she selected the perfect one and finally create a birth certificate for her new friend. Now, as a parent, I felt that the outfits and accessories were a bit pricey, I mean 3.50 for a pair of Teddy Bear Panties… I have panties from Ross that cost less. :) I think their rewards program is a good idea because you get a point for every dollar spent and your points can be redeemed for merchandise on a later visit, so definitely sign up for that program. Overall, she had a good time and she was very excited about coming back, so I need to start stacking pennies now.

They make it fun for the little ones to build a bear. A little on the expensive side tho. Hello Kitty cost me about $ 70

We are seasoned BAB patrons and let me tell you, for me, BAB is all about the layout. I have to be able to get through with a stroller which contains a toddler that wants to grab at everything and a twirling 6 year old who wants to dress her new special friend in pink, pink and more pink! This store has a great layout, it is one floor and fairly small, so you can find what you want without too much distraction. The staff here is super friendly and always trying to please your little ones. The specials they have had lately are amazing, I would sign up for their store card, which is free, so that you can get coupons in the mail to use on top of their specials. They have wardrobe boxes behind the counter which are free, I would also recommend you ask for one of these and extra hangers so that your child can better organize their bear’s accessories =)
