Bday parties and scout parties
"I have been to several parties at the Syracuse ny BAB Many have been very enjoyable experiences, though a few times the staff have rushed to get through a party once I was told approximetely 1-1 1/2 hrs and they were done in 45 mins. I guess it depends on the host that they give you if they feel like doing their job that day. Most of them have been truly wonderful though."

Melanie´s 4th birthday
"Our daughter with two of her friends had fun making their new animals. None of us had been to BABW before and felt all the kids had fun. Brandi was our leader and did a nice job but they did not march through the store or anything else special. We were able to get pictures while Melanie went around making her animal. We will return to BABW again."

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 :)"
