Of course everything is expensive....Birthday bear is cost of kids age upto 14...They didnt want to stuff bears until all the kids picked a bear ;(... which would have helped entertain the kids...Cashier had miss spoke... when i asked if we can get a birthday bear and a BOGO 10 deals... she said NO... stuffer said we could get birthday bears and still get BOGO 10 on items with red cards. So we let kiddos get their bday bears and each kid (4) picked a BOGO... so 6 bears in total...I didnt know about scan your tag and print a bear certificate (free with bear purchase) until we were ready to go... we had to wait in line for that after making our purchase.. they have bday stickers and paper hats for kids sitting by a window (had to look for them, instead of cashier handing them to kids).Kids slept with them when we got home...
The staff makes every bear making experience special for all involved. You truly bring your furry friend to life.
The kids had fun. They are still taking precautions and limiting the number of people in the store. Wonderful experience today.
All the employees were so wonderful and helpful.Great selection of items.
We went for my Sons 1st birthday bear, and he had a blast! Fast, friendly, and great experience.
Quite the fun gift for a Valentines Day. The wife love coming back to pick out outfits. Wish there were more options in mix and match rather than mostly only full outfits. But other than that great!
Due to covid only several families are to go inside at a time which is a good idea buy the line outside gets pretty long.
There is not that much accessories to choose from like other stores. But service is great.
Plenty of fun to be had here, but of course, plenty of money to be spent, too!
I actually got a bear here for my wife. She wanted the Halloween bat that they no longer sell but had a display of it.They offered the display and would even reduce or add stuffing to it if she wanted it to feel any different.The employees were extremely nice and are always attentive.My wife loves build a bear and will continue coming here for a long time to come. Next step is the nightmare before christmas bears!!
Very nice staff, good covid protection protocols in place
Took my 1byear old for her birthday bear. The staff was helpful and made the build a breeze. Everyone kept their distance and wearing masks. Great place.
The service was fantastic. The only thing I forgot to do was check my recorded voice before leaving. It sound great when I recorded, but low when it was put in the bear. So play it before you leave.
Always great service friendly workers
Everyone at the store was very helpful and nice. Very informative and making the whole experience enjoyable. With a very welcoming atmosphere. There are dozens of stuffed animal skins to pick from. There are themed ones to pick from too. Lots of outfits to pick out for your stuffed animal. It was a wonderful experience.
Poor customer service, unfriendly staff, and horrendous attitude sum up the worst experience i have ever had at build a bear. Its a kids store so misbehaving and crying children are expected but the eye rolling and sarcastic mouth by the cashier “Ashton” directed at my teething 1 year old down right unnecessarily and unprofessional.
All the staff here are amazing they make my kids so excited and happy to be there and go above and beyond especially the 2 Mirandas and Megan they always take a little extra time to make us feel welcome even when my minions wanna tear apart the store 😊
Came to get my little sister two of the new Pokémon as an early birthday present. Its nice how things have been adapted for the pandemic.
Got to BAB at Baybrook at 7:05pm and they were already closed and no sign on the gate saying why they closed before 8:00 p.m.
The staff was so friendly to my kids
Awesome employees. Great stuff. Just needs more variety or clothes for the bears. Jackets and separate things.
Terrible customer service! These “associates” have zero customer service and attend their customers poorly. Regardless of the COVID pandemic these clowns did nothing to help regulate their traffic going into their stores and looked at people and just laughed showing zero empathy for the wait and did not care that the wait was that long. Their names are Ryan, and Skylar.
Staff is friendly and helpful, they do their best to make the experience fun and lighthearted for the children. The store can be a bit chaotic at times, and more computers for creating birth certificates would be helpful, as there are often lines. Other than that, great store with nice staff.
This place is awful. Miranda is extremely rude and unhelpful. I ordered a Christmas gift online and was sent the wrong thing. The website says you can return for ANY REASON, and when I went to the store for help, she was dismissive and refused to help me in any way, telling me I can call corporate for help but otherwise I’m out of luck. Now I can’t get through the hour long wait on the customer service line. I will not be shopping here ever again, and I strongly suggest avoiding this place and Miranda’s poor attitude and customer service.
Very good store in a beautiful mall. The staff is courteous. I wish the store had a little more varieties!
I have had a good experience up until today,I have been a loyal client to build a Bear and have always had an account with them ever since I was little. Everyone was nice and welcoming except for a cashier who was having an attitude once people mentioned they had a “Pay your Age” voucher. I had given her my account number and she stated I was “underage” (I’m 16 btw) to use the voucher given to me for being a member. Keep in mind, before Build a Bear had renewed their websites and stores, Build a Bear had let me have a membership as young as the age of 9 as long as my parent was present (it was under my name and everything) I only simply renewed my account once we were emailed to. This lady was extremely rude in saying how the Bear I chose did not apply to the voucher (which was my fault in my end, but I was okay with the fact it was my mistake) But the lady stated no one else could use the voucher in my place just because it was invalid because of my age. It breaks my heart that after being a loyal customer for almost my entire life to be treated this way in place that is suppose to be a positive atmosphere for family and children. I will not be coming back
⛔️ DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION!! Unfriendly and Rude
Took my daughter today for her birthday just like we do every year. Shes 11 now and Ill take as long as she lets me. Callie was awesome and ended up helping us when we chose her bear, stuffed her bear, and when we checked out, Thanks Callie!!!
For all the years back in high school and college, I dont think I ever stepped foot into this place. But recently, I had a clever idea for a vday gift for my wife. Yes, I know cheesy, but my idea was for the recording. We always had an ongoing joke about what would be recorded, so I decided to finally go through with it. It is a fun process and actually quick. The prices are a bit high for what you get but if you do the recording I think it makes it a personal gift.
Eevee doll was sold out.
It was crazy busy and the machine clogged but they went out of their way to fix everything. There was a birthday party and a huge crowd from the Memorial Day holiday but they worked steadily to accommodate everyone. They called out his name for his birthday and let him ring the bell. Very personal oriented.
My daughter experience play fantastic day doing her fourth bear on her ninth birthday
I am still madly in love with my Eevee I got there. Didnt have the energy or strength to wait in line to get it stuffed, so they sold me the display model instead!
Its a great way to let your children interact with their new friend. The employees are always very helpful.
Everybody was helpful and patient. My daughter loves her pikachu
Fun place for kids
Today, mothers day was my first time going to build a bear and I will probably never go back. We went in to get a birthday bear for my just turned 4 year old to see what it was like. It was an overwhelming experience to say the least. I understand in retail of any kind you want to try and up sale, however I think its wrong to try to do it using a 4 year old and not really asking the parents if its ok first. There were two woman there trying to up sale to my 4 year old and trying get her to pick the more expensive animals as well as one of them kept trying to get more and more add ons before we could even think to make a choice and tell her it was ok. That included one of the scent things that she enticed my child with and shoved it into the bear and sewed it up before my husband could have a chance to decline. Sometimes parents have to have a budget for things especially if they have more children. It is wrong for them to take advantage of the parents by using their children, knowing the parents are going there to make their child happy. So now we have a bear that we are not completely happy with and paid more then anticipated.
Long line bday bear day but staff was great
Love this place
Very nice employees, they made my daughters first time experience very pleasant.
Staff is friendly and helped me find the perfect gift for nephew.
My daughter loved it, the staff was amazing. Guiding us though the process, getting tge bear stuffed and finally checkout. I didnt catch his name i wasnt paying attention but the guy in the workshop was killing it. Jokes here and there, getting my daugher to interact( since shes very shy)she loved it. Welcome home supreme purple baby bear(his name)
The friendliest people in the whole mall. Thank you for making Audree feel great.
Friendly employees. Great selection and environment
So busy but every employee was patient and extremely friendly
Love the people they make the process so easy and stress free
Went there on pay your age day. Line was horribly long and everything was badly managed. We’d be lucky if we got in by the end of the day (not to mention the fact that there will be no bears left by then). They gave us $15 off coupons for tomorrow but it will be just as bad. We’re stuck with upset kids. This sucks.
Overall great experience. Everyone was so sweet and very helpful. Thank you!
My grandson had a good time
Very bad customer service. Sarah, has a bad attitude and is very rude. Don’t know why she’s working at a store with nothing but kids if she’s going to have an attitude like that. Would not recommend coming here.
Very busy but lots of fun just like the good old days!
Nothing like it used to be. Its not just about buying the bear but the experience and the experience is no longer there. Really sad.
Its ok, the kids love it
So happy to help very clean and joyful
Kids Love to make their own baby
Granddaughter had fun building her Birthday Bear.
Kids love this place.
My first time and it was amazing
Always friendly and fast service
Love it you pick it they stuff it anyway you like
Great customer service! And the price is fair for how much they help
Build-A-Bear gave my kids false hope telling them that they would be able to get a bear for the money of their age and made everybody leave one hour before the store open that day so my kids had to go home crying with no bears very rude and false hopes
The lady there was very helpful
Store was busy, staff friendly had a sale going on.
Had fun with the girls getting their bear
Kiddos can spend all day here! 🙃
Dont miss their Buy your age day
A bit expensive but sweet
Staff is supper friendly and helpful

Very nice & clean store but their inventory seems pretty small and lots of the items have been the same for several years.
My girl loves it and good care.
Good but there is more clothing for bear men, there is much more variety for girls
😍😍😍
