Build-A-Bear Workshop

Always friendly clean and professional enjoy taking my daughter here. I gotta get my daughter the pikachu for Christmas!!!

Ok guys… they have toothless! My daughter flipped out. She was so excited. I have nothing negative to say about build a bear other than it can be so expensive. The staff obviously live their job!

I have been to Build-​A-​Bear Workshop on quite a few occasions, but typically for my children to create their own stuffed animals to mark specific milestones in their lives. However, the most recent experience I have with the store is something a bit more personal, though it wasn’t for any of my own children. My kids and I went to the Flatirons location to create a very special bear for my nephew, who was diagnosed with a rare type of leukemia.
When I entered the store, I had only learned less than 12 hours prior of my nephew’s diagnosis. I was incredibly emotional, but I was determined to do SOMETHING for him. He lives a thousand miles away in Chicago, so I couldn’t be with him, but I wanted to send something to him that let him know I was rooting for him. When the sales associate approached me, he could tell immediately that I wasn’t there for a typical situation. He asked me what was going on, and when I told him about my nephew, he hugged me and he led my children and I through the steps. He helped us along the way through every single phase of creating a Spider-​Man bear for my nephew, even though there were some other customers entering the store.
The experience was certainly more than I expected from a Build-​A-​Bear experience. And the finished product was absolutely perfect. It represented the courage and strength I wanted to convey in a material possession. And the fact that we were able to customize it and record a get-​well message made it even better. I will never forget Luke (the sales associate who helped us), and his words of kindness and encouragement. Most of all, my nephew absolutely LOVED his bear, and has a physical, tangible object to help him get through some of the most difficult times that lie ahead.

Great place. Clean and friendly. We have gone here while pregnant with each of our three kids, to make them their future bear. Each time has been a great experience. My older son was able to «help» make his baby brothers bear, and they were both able to help make new baby’s bear this time as well. There’s a cute little tub and bath pretend area to «wash» the new bear at, and they all come with their own little birth certificates, ready for their new names and owners. Everyone here is always beyond friendly and accommodating to our whole family. So glad we have had this experience with our boys :)

Since I had never been here before, I had a lot of questions on process and pricing etc. The staff was really friendly and helpful and tolerant of my ignorance. I was looking for something specific to indulge my «firefighter» fan grandson and they had exactly what I was looking for. The price seemed fair so I will probably go back, once I have checked with his parents.
The children in the store with their parents seemed to be having a good time. It was a weekday morning so they were just toddlers. I have been past the place on a Saturday and it was mobbed with elementary aged kids (and some parents.)
