This was a very disappointing experience. This was our first time visiting Build-A-Bear, so we approached an employee to ask about the birthday bear process. Before we could finish our question, we were abruptly interrupted with "the birthday bear is over there," then she briefly explained it to us. The interaction felt unwelcoming and dismissive. For a business that caters to children and families, the lack of warmth and customer service was surprising. If the employee was busy, simply communicating that and asking us to wait would have been completely understandable. Unfortunately, the attitude and interaction negatively impacted what was meant to be a special birthday experience read more

I haven't been to a build-a-bear since I was like 8, but have always wanted to go back for fun as an adult lol. I was at the mall the other day with my boyfriend, and I was like let's just go in and see how much they are nowadays. We go in and we are the only ones there. They had plenty of "carcases" lol to choose from and a lot were around 20 ish dollars. I didn't want a dragon or a unicorn or anything wild, just a standard teddy bear. They had two colors for the standard basic bear and they were only 14$! I couldn't even buy a stuffed animal at Walmart for the price and I was getting to build this one, so I was like okay yes we are definitely doing it! The staff was really nice. She went through the whole spiel with us as if we were children so it was kind of funny, it made it more fun rather than just being a boring adult and saying okay stuff the bear. She had us choose a heart and let us put one each actually. We had to spin around and rub it on our head and all.. I felt a little ridiculous, but the point waaaas to relieve my childhood so I appreciate the effort! We stuffed the bear and just chose a little heart for him to hold that was 5$. I just wanted a simple t-shirt, but the clothing prices were a little wild, I guess that is where they make money. There was a sports jersey the same price as a legit one. I was happy to find the little heart though because I really did only want something simple. So my total was about 20$ for the bear and heart. I think that is super reasonable. I know kids probably want a lot of extras and the price can definitely add up, but as an adult it can actually be cute to come here for a special occasion or something. They have the voice boxes you can put inside the bear with a recording, I think people that do these with spouses over seas or loved ones that have passed are really nice and I definitely would recommend sentimental bears for adults especially if you just want a basic one, you can get the bear for 14$. Could be a really great gift! My only complaint is it didn't feel quite like it did before, probably because I am old, but even the layout of the store felt more like a shop and I didn't feel like I was walking through all of the steps. The stuffing part was dead center and there were bears on both walls and clothes in the back. I felt like as a child it was more of an Ikea flow, where you go through all of the steps and I really liked that. We did get to print the birth certificate though and named him Bearnard. The lady thought that was just hilarious haha I also asked for the house box which was an extra dollar. Idk if it used to be like that and my parents paid without me knowing, but it is now a dollar for sure. Nothing crazy. I just wanted it for the nostalgia. Anyways, recommend for kids of course but also for adults it can be cute and the prices are much lower than I was expecting. read more

Came here for my daughter's first birthday. I heard so much hype about the birthday bear pay your age and I wanted to try it. From what I remember as a kid growing up, build a bear was a fun atmosphere and a fun process when it comes to stuffing your bear. Usually you did the whole rub the heart on your heart, give it a kiss, etc. Instead the heart was immediately put into the bear and sewn up. Once it was done with, which was about 30-45 seconds, instead of handing the bear to me and my daughter, the bear was handed to someone else that was with us which I thought was odd. Granted the bear was only a dollar but I always remember build a bear being an exciting visit but this was just quick and awkward and disappointing to say the least. It was my main agenda on my daughter's first birthday and overall I just feel like it was ruined. read more

Daughter was dancing outside your store today with binkys destined to live inside a bear. Staff was great, but at the last minute - said corporate told them they could not assist us in any way with putting a binky or pacifier inside a bear. Changed few months ago. Couldn't leave bear unsown. Had to cut strings. "Can't let you leave the store that way" they said.... but you can buy and install plastic heart beat electronics or voice recorders. We've been planning this for over 1 year and you completely screwed us over today. Thanks BAB corporate for not finding ANY way to accommodate the many customers that expect this service our culture has talked about for many years, and recommended BAB for. Zero. Zilch. Never again. I'm still upset. read more

Come in here all the time to find clothes and accessories for my bunny build a bear! The stash is extremely nice. They definitely going to the spirit at the store by singing, acknowledging the furry friends and making suggestions about what would look good on your stuffed animal. They refer to all of the stuff animals By their pronouns and spread joy to all the customers (not just the kids). This is my favorite Build a bear workshop location Because the customer service can't be beat. Also they tend to have more clearance than other locations! read more

Beverly was great! We brought a group of teens/pre-teens in. She was so patient and helpful in helping them, from picking out their plushes, to price checking, to final sale! Thank you, Beverly! read more

This is a great Build-A-Bear Workshop! This Build-A-Bear was remodeled not too long ago so I thought I should rewrite my review. The stuffing machine is much different and tall but that is not a downside or a good thing. But I have one complaint and that is that they got rid of THE BATH TUBS! I am very sad about that:( The is the new modern design with updated technology. They have a pretty good selection of bears and a very good selection of clothing & accessories. The staff were happy and good with kids. So overall this is a wonderful location of Build-A-Bear Workshop! read more

we were so excited to go to this mall to visit build a bear. i work in a build a bear in florida and am on a road trip across the US so i'm trying to get a stamp on my BAB passport of every state i go to so this would've been the Georgia stamp but literally as we walked into the store we were welcomed with dirty looks... i will admit we did go 10 mins before closing but since it was just for a passport and stamp we figured it would be fast. while we were standing in line some tall lady kept giving us dirty looks and made us feel uncomfortable. i tried to buy the passport, had to tell them to stamp it for me, and also to write the name of the mall on it for me and every time i made the request they made me feel bad about it... they also didn't stamp the first page they just did a random page and sideways so now i can't get multiple stamps on the page like i intended to... so whoever was working closing july 24th they were all rude except for the one with the dark hair who tried to help us but was dismissed rudely. i have worked closing at build a bear before late at night and would never treat customers the way they treated us, what a shame. read more

Build-A-Bear Workshop - rushed handwriting and sideways - Toy Stores Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

My daughter had her 4th bday here. I really don't see all the hype with BABW but she wanted it there so we invited about 10 friends and had a good time! The only thing I had problems with was that there should of been another person help stuffing bears. With 10 kids and doing it one at a time, it took a while. The cashier helped some but not a whole lot. I think there were only 2 workers there that day and they needed an extra to help with the party and stuff the bears. All the kids left with a bear and all were happy. They don't have any type of party rooms so we ate at the food court. read more

Went back to Build a Bear hoping to have a better experience. They have great products but the Alpharetta location doesn't staff the store based on the events they have going on. When there are parties they need a lot more staff. They also need cashiers. It takes forever to check out there. Today the cashier had no sense of urgency to try to move people thru the line. She was trying to get a child to pick bows when the child didn't even want one. The cashier could care less how long it took for people to check out. After waiting 40 minutes to get a bear built it took another 15 minutes to check. It's a shame because the product is good but the girls that work in this store have no coomon sense on how to handle situations. read more
