    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!

I loved that the staff was right there, constantly cleaning up the extra bubbles and adding more soap to keep the fun going. The giant blue blocks section was so cool, too--the kids built a ton of different things and had a blast destroying them afterward! The old-school phones are always a fun classic, and they absolutely loved the animal section upstairs. It was a perfect day out for the family! ¡Llevé a los niños al museo y se divirtieron muchísimo explorando todas las exhibiciones! La estación de las burbujas siempre es un clásico y una de sus favoritas. Me encantó que el personal estuviera ahí mismo, limpiando constantemente el exceso de burbujas y agregando más jabón para que no parara la diversión. La sección de los bloques azules gigantes también estuvo genial; ¡los niños construyeron muchísimas cosas y se divirtieron un mundo destruyéndolas después! Los teléfonos antiguos siempre son un clásico muy divertido, y les fascinó la sección de los animales en el piso de arriba. ¡Fue un día perfecto en familia!

Lots of interactive exhibits, play areas and the obligatory climbing structure. Will inevitably be busy like most things on Long Island. Staff is friendly enough however mostly in the background. Good balance of different types of things to do, including a few animals upstairs. The town play set area is very cool, and I love that they have a rotating exhibit space. It was trains when we were there, themed to Thomas the train with both a ton of tracks to play with, as well as life sized Thomas train characters. Had to drag my son out of there, however luckily their gift shop is decent with legitimate toys versus just cheap crap. Would definitely come back here.

The facility features a fun slide and adorable mini-rooms themed as a veterinarian's office, a doctor's office, and various kitchens for pretend play.

Vinimos aquí para una fiesta de cumpleaños y los niños se divirtieron muchísimo. Es un lugar excelente, especialmente para niños pequeños (toddlers).

También cuentan con un área separada para cantar el 'Feliz Cumpleaños' y una estación de café. Quedé muy contenta con el lugar. ¡Estoy emocionada por volver!

It was also great that the parking lot was nearby and covered (it was raining heavily that day - but we didn't get wet at all!) I highly recommend Let's Craft for your next kids birthday party or ladies night out... I will surely go back!!!

    It is a long review, but if you are planning an event, I urge you to read this until the end…read more Planning my son's Bar Mitzvah was a daunting task. The expense and amount that needed to be done was overwhelming and I needed to figure out a way to rein it in. Hiring a DJ for a Bar Mitzvah is a must, but it isn't as simple as that. The company is also responsible for providing the rest of the kids activities and, most importantly, keeping the party entertaining and flowing. Having recently moved to Connecticut and not put on an affair like this in over two decades since my wedding, I had no idea who to go to and how to keep in manageable. Also, living in CT and never having lived on Long Island, I obviously had no awareness of Great Neck Games. Randomly, an acquaintance at my Synagogue mentioned them in passing. It was honestly the greatest thing that happened to me in planning the event. Although, I am not saying it was cheap in any way, they worked with me on price and activities in order to keep the cost manageable. But, honestly, I still had no idea what to expect day of and how it would all actually take shape. The low hanging fruit was all done flawlessly. Everything that we ordered was delivered and the room looked beautiful. But, it was the little things and the people that made this event so much better than a run-of-the-mill Bar Mitzvah (see below for two of many amazing photos). Everyone was so happy and had such a great time and I credit DJ Keith Webb along with (I wish I knew their names) the MC and motivators. Keith was so much more than just a DJ. We had a separate room for the adults and he brought a speaker and playlist so they had music in that room. There was no charge for this as he just wanted to help make the event a success. He helped me negotiate the price on a couple of things we needed last minute to keep us within budget. He had a smile on his face the entire time that could fill the room. I am so grateful to him and wish I had the ability to hire him time and again. And, the MC...don't get me started on how great he was. I feel bad that I still don't know his name, but as you can imagine the day was a whirlwind and there was lots going on. He was simply special. He made every kid and adult feel like it was their day as well. But, he especially made my son feel like he should at a party of this magnitude. The motivators, two beautiful and talented women, were equally responsible for making both kids and adults feel engaged, happy and special. They were perfect. I am going to cut this here as it is crazy long, but I cannot thank Great Neck Games enough for what they did. I didn't want to put on such an expensive affair, but they did something I didn't think was possible - made me happy I did it. And, they truly deserve a large share of the credit.

    I used Great Neck Games to rent a bounce house for an annual party. I had been a customer for more…read morethan 15 years. When I called this year, I was told that there was a 3 item minimum and a $350 delivery fee (which had not been charged in the past). When I indicated that I was a long standing customer, I was told, "Yes, but there has been a gap in your rentals for the passed 2 years". Duh. Never again. They do not care about their customers.
