Best Birthday EVER :)
"This was the easiest birthday party I ever organised! They took care of EVERYTHING!!! From welcoming the kids as they arrived to going through the whole "bear" process with a group of rowdy 3 to 6 year olds, Cassandra, our group animator held a captive audience the entire time. Even my husband couldn´t help from participating, & actually having fun. 2 days after the party was held every single parent had called to thank us for hosting such a great party that their kids can´t stop talking about. My 5 year old, Kayenna, says it was the best birthday ever!!!"

great party place
"I had my grand daughters 4th birthday party at the arbor place mall in doughlasville, ga. the only complaint is that chic fila wouldnt let us eat there after the party, but I would recommend build a bear any day for a kids party."

Double birthday party Holyoke MA
"Today we had a double birthday party for my 2 girls ages 6 & 4 at the Holyoke Mall location. I was a bit nervous booking such a party due to the fact we had 24 little girls. I was asured by the manager (Ken) that the store could handle such a large party and that everything would be fine. It was more than fine it was AWESOME!! All the girls were well entertained and all left very happy. Our party girls were Lauren and Ally they were AWESOME... with the kids played fun games and had tons of patients with all the girls. I would highly recommend this to all my friends and family. We struggle every year looking for fun places for my winter party´s and this was a hit!!! Thank you Lauren and Ally for making my little girls and all there friends so Happpy and for letting me have a stress free party!!!"

Great Birthday Party
"We had my daughters 5th birthday party today at Build a Bear. She had so much fun being able to make bears with all of her friends. Even my 2 year old son had fun! The employees were all very helpful in keeping 10 children under 5 under control!"

thank you Nicola
"We had my daughter´s 9th birthday celebration at Build-a-Bear at Ocean Terminal in Edinburgh. At 6.30pm she and her five guests pretty much had the place to themselves. Nicola, the party leader, was fantastic seeming to love her job and passing her enthusiasm for all things teddy on to the girls. The girls were kept amused and were delighted with their new furry friends. My husband and I were equally pleased with the children´s smiling happy faces at a surprisingly reasonable priced party."

Amazing
"The party I attended was simply amazing, for lack of a better word. The party leader Courtney did such a fantastic job. I was just a parent of a child in the party and I was standing by and watching. She interacted so well with all the children and really got down on their level. The entire staff there was playing with the children and making the party memorable. And though there was a party going on, everything else in the store was being handled amazingly well. I am definitely going to schedule birthday parties for my own children there!"

Awesome 5th Birthday party
"Today we had a birthday party for my dauther Arianna and 19 of her friends at the Build-A-Bear store in Sarasota Square Mall. We had originally booked for 17 but some extra siblings also attended. Our two Build-A-Bear Party leaders Becky and Nadine were not bothered at all by the additions and started the party. They were terrific. They kept the kids super entertained (games and singing and pictures, etc.) while keeping the adults upto date on what each phase of the party was going to be (ahead of time). This made the parents feel at ease because they could position themselves around the store at each station in advance of the children arriving. Overall, I would give Becky and Nadine 10 stars out of 5 for a truly amazing and UNFORGETTABLE party. To quote my daugther, "Build-A-Bear ROCKS"."

What a fab party!
"My 7 year old daughter Poppy took 14 friends to a Build a Bear party and everyone of them had a fantastic time! It was extremely well organised and the hosts Sam & Robin kept them fully occupied the whole time. Not only did everyone get their own bear to take home they had lots of goodies in their bear box too! For £8-£10 a head it was money extremely well spent! My daughter is already planning for next year!"

8th Birthday Party
"My daughter´s party was a great success. All 11 girls enjoyed themselves and were kept entertained at each step of teh process. Even waiting to get their toys stuffed was fun for them."

Fantastic!
"My daughter, Carla, didn´t have a very big party at home, so I decided she should get a wonderful birthday present. She had such a good time, that whenever we passed through Bangkok or Singapore she kept begging to go. Build -a -bear is such a great experience no one should miss it. Its such a pity there isn´t a Build-a-bear workshop in France(that´s where we are from)near Cannes, Nice. Carla can´t go to bed without Holly, Truffle, Emma and Jamie her four very best friends."

Ashley´s mom
"My daughter was invited to her friends 7th birthday. It was in the Lake Grove store. The store was super busy and I thought this is crazy, but that changed when we were greeted by the party host and she explained to the group what they were going to do. I was just amazed at the way the party was handled. It was just WOW & WOW!! The party host was amazing! She kept the kids busy,she played games with them as well as spoke with them. She was just GREAT! I would love to have her host all my kids parties! I don´t remember her name,wish I did. I only remember that she had kids of her own. The kids love her! Some of the parents at the party said that when they come back they always go to her or even if they are not buying anything they will go in just to say hi. I think that is BIG WOW for the best party host!"

Fantastic and Memorable Party!
"My daughter´s 6th Birthday Party at the Build-a-Bear Workshop in the Cherry Hill Mall, NJ received rave reviews from both kids and parents alike. Ariel is a fantastic party leader, and managed the group of 14 children beautifully. The kids had a blast. I was impressed at how Ariel was able to keep a fun, party atmosphere the entire time, especially with such a large group. I also have to extend a compliment all of the employees in the store: We received GREAT customer service from all of the employees (and that´s hard to find these days!). Thanks for a wonderful birthday party!!"
