    We did the whole Build a Bear experience except recording a voice. There was a selection of animals to choose from. We ended up choosing the Bear with sparkles on it. The store creates an assembly line to creating the customized stuffed animal. The process begins with recording your voice that part I believe is additional. The next step is stuffing the animal, which is done by a staff member. You can insert a heart to make a wish inside the bear. The staff member sews up the Bear. Then you can fluff the Bear. We decided to dress the bear. Then you came name the Bear and get a birth certificate for it. It was a fun experience especially for kids. There have a club where you can sign up and get discounts and promotions. They also have birthday parties there too (maybe that's something I'd explore).

    We've been to this Build-A-Bear a few times now and have noticed that their selection of bears is quite limited and more expensive compared to what's on their website. They have a lot of the Disney, Pokemon, Harry Potter, and other character bears but don't have many of the cute pastel ones. I like to order the online-exclusives when they're on sale, have the bears shipped to me unfilled, and then visit the store to have them stuffed in person (for the fun of it and for the heart ceremony, of course).

    Happy birthday Skyla

    Such a great Friday afternoon, to go take my beautiful niece to Build-A-Bear!! She literally got the whole store to herself only us and the workers! The workers was super polite very helpful!! I told them it was her bday and they automatically asked for Her she and came back with a cute sticker that says it's my 4th birthday, and a birthday crown which I must say she did not want to put her hat on cause she only wanted to wear her birthday crown!! They allowed us to pick a birthday teddy bear, which I only paid $4.00 such a great deal!! Build a bear has a awesome thing for your kids bday you pay for the birthday bear the age they turn. I also purchased chase from paw patrol that's all she wanted to build at build a bear!! One hour later we made a full blown Paw Patrol chase doll and a a birthday teddy bear/Maribel! She was excited and super happy!! Everything was fairly quick, and easy to find. And definitely a greet place to stop at with your nieces nephews or your own kiddos!! Just make sure you come here on a less busy day, cause I hear it here very busy in there especially on the weekends.

    I LOVE Build-A-Bear! Every child *including adult* can create a best friend by adding stuffing, a small satin heart, a name, a birth certificate, and clothes. This store is huge with furry creatures and sits inside Roosevelt Field Mall. I am completely enamored with teddy bears. The love of my life heed the hope within my mind of adding a teddy bear to my collection. Build-A-Bear offers the traditional teddy bears, bunnies, frogs, dogs and all things stuffed animals of traditional plush toys. The staff is well trained to work with children having patience, compassion and are very accommodating. The experience is fully interactive and direct hands-on process from selecting the plush toy to stuffing, kissing the heart to make a wish, sewing the plush toy, choosing clothes and the optional customize digital voice recording message. I was instructed by a staff member to kiss the small red satin heart, then jump up and down and make a wish and place it inside my new teddy bear. Aww, a very cute concept of having a heart inside and I think all teddy bears should have a heart for compassion and unconditional love. The staff wears a apron, hones a needle and thread to sew the plush toy permanently intact. The final sewing is well handcrafted permanently secure for longevity and completely invisible to the eye. The store has visible signage for the walk through process which is easy to follow as a family activity to keep children immerse, entertained and occupied. There is a stuffing machine is that continuously mixing traditional stuffing where children watch your plush toy get stuffed (no pesky small toy hazard of plastic poly pellets are used in Build-A-Bear). I LOVE my beloved teddy bear and hold in my arms day and night as the stuffing is very SOFT. I decided on a Harry Potter wizard theme clothing with robe, hat, and scarf, but no wand. I'm sure children's birthday parties are amazing with lots of activities accompanied by various furry friends. Build-A-Bear is the new millennial post 2000s go-to place unlike the 1980s era children's birthday parties was hosted at McDonald's. Build-A-Bear is every child's activity and every parents' financial challenge where pricing is à la carte for the stuffing, clothing, and customize voice recording message. A person is never too old for stuff animals as it provides a sense of comfort, emotional support in good and bad times or challenging times, empathy, compassion, and security in a stolid insecure world. Stuffed plush animals embeds and hone compassion and kindness. Teddy bears are my best friends and are worth it.

    Always the best service! Jordan was so kind and patience. Adjusted our bulbalzad and great checkout as well! So sorry to hear that Craig left. Craig was an amazing manager. Best of luck!!!

    Eddie, Kyla, and Jasmine made my experience at the Build-A-Bear workshop much better than I anticipated for it being my first time! I've never been here am I had no idea how to make a bear although they call the place Build-A-BEAR when there is a lot more than bears being built. They also informed me about the different ideas on the feature that can be included! Thank you Kyla, Eddie, and Jasmine for the great experience! I'll be back with more bears that need to be built!

    Accessorize!

    We came here after the B-A-B promo debacle with our "thanks for trying" vouchers, having dangled the carrot in front of my kids for quite some time, but never actually entering the store. Upon entry, my inner snark was expecting to be on eye-roll overtime, but surprisingly, it was actually an enjoyable experience. Of course, I used vouchers for my purchases (to which, I add, their marketing ploy completely worked... it DID get me in the store). Maybe I enjoyed it more because it was at the end of a weeknight, before store closing, so there was less wait, and less people. The staff there really do take their time with each individual kid to make their experience feel unique & special. At the stuffing station, they even had a ceremony before placing the heart inside the toy. I even saw some big kids (ok, maybe me included) that got involved in the ceremony. I can see why people spend 1-2 hours here (and why that promo day could have ever realistically worked out). My daughter's bear ended up being only $5 after the voucher! Kids loved it, and their giddiness will live on in the memories of my photos. They didn't have any more boxes that night (after the promo day), but they said to save my receipt and they'd be happy to give me some for my purchases when they restock. Big shout out to Evelyn for helping to sew up my son's Jigglypuff (after a thread break) and for taking the time to price check my items!

    My son loves his new pet! The story behind it made the pet truly special to him. They gave a birth certificate for his new toy also.

    Located in the heart of Malverne's Mom & Pop business district, Rocky's Comics is the rare find…read morethese days of a genuine local comic book store. Dio, the owner, is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and his enthusiasm for everything comic-related makes visiting here a great experience always. Upon walking in, there is an entire wall of new comics to choose from (bagged and boarded, which is a nice touch for us collectors) every Wednesday, and a good selection of back issues to comb through as well in the back of the store. Also in the back of the store, there are a few arcade games set up for the kids (or adults, if you're a fan!). Rocky's has a very large selection of collectibles (yup, toys) to browse. Tons of Funko PoPs to find here, from the newest releases to harder to find exclusives from past Comic Cons. In addition, you'll find a variety of comic-based character statues, action figures, Pez dispensers, plushies, you name it. If you don't see it, Dio is always happy to order it for you if possible. The prices on all of the aforementioned collectibles are the final icing on the cake, as everything is priced fairly and usually even lower than you'd find most of these items online or in other stores. As a collector myself, this is very much appreciated! All in all, if you are a fan/collector of comics, super heroes, sci-fi, or anything along those lines, Rocky's Comics is a must visit. It packs in everything you'd find in a mall/chain store, but with the personal touch of an owner who actually cares that you stopped in to visit.

Not only do they have a nice selection of comics, they have an incredible selection of pops. You can't go into Rocky's Comics and not buy a pop lol.

It's mostly self checkout, with the occasional one employee at a self checkout station ringing people up. I don't drive so if my husband doesn't take me there I'll take the bus, sometimes stopping there as I'm running errands at other stores. Having the security guard at the door follow me as if I'm going to steal instead of purchase due to the bags I'm carrying from said errands, it makes me feel uncomfortable and almost makes you not want to make the purchase at all. But I still made the purchase to prove that there was no need to follow me around the store like that.

Everyone was very friendly. Having Old Navy located next door is a smart way to lure in shoppers. I stopped in to check out their party supplies and children's games and trinkets. This is a great store for affordable children's gifts, toys and anything fun related. They also have a lot of summer gear from clothing, flip flops, slides to beach chairs all $5 or under $5. The makeup and accessories aisle here takes up the whole back of the store including the fitness section. The home furnishings aisle has a ton of items to make your space cool or zen. Ill definitely be back throughout the summer months scoring some deals. They had some beautiful gallon drink fountains for just $5.

All in all, for a card/stationery store it's about as good as it gets, plus it's a great place to shop small.
