Birthday Party
"My daughter had her 7th birthday party at Build a Bear in Paramus Park Mall. It was a fanstastic party. Being a busy Saturday in a busy section of Bergen County didn´t affect us at all. The Build a Bear Party Staff kept all the events running smoothly and even though there were many people in the store, it didn´t feel like it. We felt like we were the focus. Our party leader was fantastic. Her personailty, demenaur and enthusiusm was the perfect mix for a wonderful party. I´d do it again!"

Great party, unorganized staff
"My daughter´s 5th birthday at BABW was a blast. She was beaming from ear to ear the entire time. While my daughter and her friends had a blast, I was a nervous wreck. Our party host (Scottsdale, AZ store) was very unorganized and there were moments when the kids would be running through the store. Wanting to keep track of them and not lose anyone to the mall area, I was a bit nervous. They did do the marching through the store and songs and all and that was fun but the host did not do a very good job of keeping everyone´s attention. She also bailed on our party at the end without even saying a word. None of the kids had their certificates and I had to run around trying to track someone down to help us wrap things up. All in all, lots of fun but make sure to keep the parents there (no drops offs) and ask your party host to keep things moving or you´ll lose the kids (literally!)"

My favorite store!!!
"When I went to Build A Bear today with my mom. That whole week I had wanted to go to Build A bears Workshop and finally she said "Yes". That afternoon we went to the mall and spent 30 min. looking for the store but it was worth it!!! When I walked in the store I had a blast picking out my new friend Sweet Pea ( The Dog ) and choosing all of her clothes her skirt, top, shoes, ( panties ), and choosing pjs and a robe to match. But the best part was picking her heart. The purple heart, when you bought it you would donate 1.00 to a local charity. This is a great store for any kid to visit!!!!!!"

Nothing says party like Build A Bear
"This was our 3rd year of non-scheduled parties. Each year at the end of my daughters birthday party at home we end it with a trip to the mall with 5 of her closest friends as well as my 3 boys to make lasting memories...I limit each girl to a total of $15.00 except the B-day girl is unlimited, it is of course her day! We plan on doing this each year as long as the kids continue to enjoy it!"

Pawfect
"On Saturday my daughter Cele-Bear-ated her 7th bithday and it was better than I imagined. There wasn´t one time I looked at the kids and they weren´t smiling. We had the floor party at the Biggest Build-A-Bear Workshop (New York, NY) and Suky was so great with the kids. The kids enjoyed building their bears, choosing outfits, playing games with Suky, they loved Bearmy and the pizza and cake were delicious.........Now all my daughters friends want their party there and the parents loved out party idea. We all enjoyed our Build-A-Floor party and eating at Teddy Terrace :)"

bear fantastic
"we had 8 girls aged 3-5 and they all really loved the build a bear experience. hannah our party supervisor was great with the girls who quickly chose bears, bunnies and puppy´s then loved all the filling etc.. unfortunatley we had paid extra for a giant bunny to make her apperence but my daughter didn´t like that at all, but the other girls all did. they were quick with getting dresses and the birth certificates were done without any fuss.. all calm and relaxed.. hannah was great and the bears are great but my only complaint was the photos and free badges were not included and it was only when we arrived home we realised we didn´t have them but after a phone call they were posted to us within a few days. overall great fun party and no hassle for parents"

Great 6th Birthday!
"My daughter had a great experience having her party at Build-A-Bear this past August (Springfield Mall PA). The party host (Mark)kept my daughter and her friends very entertained. The party was much more than what I had expected. Mark did magic tricks for the kids, had them march and sing throughout the store and at the end had everyone sing Happy Birthday to my daughter. To make things even better my daughter left the party with an autographed bear and a picture of everyone together holding their new furry friends. Thanks to Mark and all the staff at Build-a-Bear for making my daughters birthday extra-special."

Leia´s 6th Birthday
"Leslie and Carly were great! They kept 11 kids happy, the party moving and kept us w/in our budget. I knew the kids would enjoy making/dressing the bears but forgot about the carrying case, certificates, coloring books and all the great coupons too. They also took some good group pics to send home w/ us. My daughter loves her autograph bear as much as her bunny that she made that p.m. A good value for the $."

Awesome Party for 7 Year Olds!!
"Our party helper "Bree" was superb! She easily managed my big group of 16 children, with a happy smile and lots of patience with the little ones. Her games were excellent and she presented the stuffies and accessories in a way that everyone understood what their options were. She made our party perfect!! Thank you Bree!!!"

Very Disappointed
"This was my child´s 3rd birthday she had 8 guest. The hostess was very unorganized the kids were all over the place, not entertained at all. They were very poor explaining the process to the kids and I felt as though I should have hosted the party myself. It was an unpleasant very disorganized party. Never again!"
