This is such a fun experience. I chose to knit the unicorn which is a very light pink. The horn is already crocheted so once the body is completed and stuffed, you get to sew it on the area you desire. The eyes, cheeks, mouth, and ears are the same. So, if you want an unconventional/silly plushie, go for it! The other crocheted items like the boba, ice cream cones, bows, or flowers are additional and vary in price. They're such cute additions to your plushie! The instructors are very helpful and walk you through each step. If you get stuck or make a mistake, they can easily fix it. I think I'm going to bring my niece here for her 7th birthday since 7 is the youngest that can attend.

What a wonderful and unique experience. It was my friend's birthday . We all made different plushies . The two ladies who helped us were amazing. They were patient and helpful . It was comfortable and clean. They also had cute accessories to pick after .

We reserved Plushumi as a couples activity for a friend's birthday and had an amazing time! Although it seems fitting for just kids, Plushumi was very therapeutic for us. The plushie workshop is very hands on and perfect for an afternoon downtime activity. It's a great date idea and you leave with super cute pals. Christina helped us throughout the process and was so nice and amazing to work with. She guided us throughout the process and made this experience a day to remember. Everyone was very nice as well and stopped by to check out our creation. Definitely recommend! Great for kids7+ and can host multiple groups.

We were in the area for the weekend, and I wanted to find something fun and unique for my daughter and me to do together. I stumbled upon Plushumi on Yelp and managed to book the last available appointment for the next few days -- so I was pretty excited! Just a heads-up: Plushumi is located in the basement of the building, so you won't easily see a sign from the street. Once we found it, though, we immediately felt welcomed. The two ladies working there were incredibly sweet, patient, and helpful. They explained everything clearly, gave examples, and were always available if we needed any assistance. The first part of our appointment was smooth, relaxing, and genuinely fun. As later appointment times started arriving, I noticed some people came without reservations, which created a bit of a rushed environment. The staff stayed kind, gracious, and attentive throughout, but you could tell they were understandably overwhelmed trying to accommodate everyone. Overall, we had an amazing time. We left with the cutest plushies and added accessories at the end. It was such a sweet bonding experience and a perfect activity for quality time with someone you love. I highly recommend Plushumi and would absolutely return.

Went to Plushumi to celebrate our friend's birthday. I made a build a bear for my girlfriend years ago before and this experience was much more hands on and very customizable. You pick the color and what kind of animal you'd like from their sets. Whole experience was about 2 hours. The process was straightforward and simple with some sewing parts but the staff are friendly and accommodating to help you out. Christina was very helpful! Overall great experience and you leave with a new friend! I ended up doing a Beige dog. The add ons are the items your animal could appear to be holding. Those are additional.

Really cute date idea! Super friendly workers. The class is 2 hours long but only took us less than 1.5 hours. It was $68 for each plushie without the accessories. The accessories range from $10-18. I believe the strawberry was about $15 & the LA hat was $18.

Just celebrated our daughter's 8th birthday here and it was a fun and memorable experience. The workshop was structured. We had a party of 18 friends and girls were engaged the whole time. Each guest got to knit the body of the plushies, stuff them, and add all the facial features while the staff guided and supported with some of the finer sewing. Overall very unique and fun workshop experience!

What a great unique experience! From the moment we arrived to the finishing touches the staff was great cute little spot to do something unique. Making your own plushie from scratch, not just stuffing an already made one like those other Build a something spots. Highly recommend for a special event, birthday, date night or really any reason to get out and do something with your hands and walk away with a memory.

I had my daughter's 10th birthday party here. The staff was so attentive and helpful. The plushies turned out so cute. Highly recommend.

Finding this place was pretty easy! I saw lots of instagram reels about this place and decided to give it a try when I went down to LA. I was a bit disappointed and I am removing a star because they stopped me from continuing to make my plush even though I still had yarn left. I went with a friend and they allowed the friend to continue past the point I was stopped at, so our plushies came out different sizes. I will say, paying for this experience then getting a plush that is smaller than what is on their wall display is a bit disappointing as it feels like I did not get what I paid for. Also keep in mind, any accessories you see cost extra and you do not get to make them yourself. You also need to go early enough in the day because they may run out of pre-made accessories. Overall, it was still fun to do and I would do it again. I just hope that they allow customers to make their plushies the same size as what they advertise on the wall.

Great place to have a birthday party, fun for all ages, we are first time here and enjoy it so much, the workers are very nice and helpful making this such a great experience. I highly recommend this place. There is no down time but full of happiness.

Our kids ages 2 to 7 all had a great time! There was so much to do, from walking through the river and doing water play, to sand play in the pretend lake, to crafts (that we didn't have time for), to climbing equipment, and building/engineering/physics activities. Plenty of things to do both indoor and outdoor. The physics section is great for older kids too, even middle school (but the rest of the museum is definitely geared to elementary).

Outside, there are two adjacent outdoor kid's playgrounds. Near the entrance they have juice and fruit vendors and a balloonist. Entry fee is very reasonable at under $50 for family of three with in-and-out privileges. Inside the museum, its like 80% outdoor exhibits and 20% indoor. They have an onsite cafe and food vendors throughout. The outdoor exhibits has a park area dedicated to physics. You'll see fans, pulleys, etc. to help your child appreciate scientific concepts while having fun. They also have tie-dye stations, climbing structures, tricycle race tracks, live music, and my son's favorites - the sandbox and pretend farmer's market and veggie patch. I noted lots of friendly staff dressed as camp rangers working with the kids and maintaining order with a smile, which is huge. Inside the buildings, you'll see traditional kid activities like toy trains, quiet reading areas, legos, and even more climbing structures. Looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area. The in-and-out policy is nice since they have lots of nearby offsite restaurants in nearby Old Pasadena.

Before the class starts, the instructor gives a clear demo, and throughout the session, there are screens showing techniques step-by-step, so kids can comfortably follow along and adapt at their own pace. Nothing feels difficult or intimidating. The instructor quietly walks around, making sure each child has what they need and offering support without interrupting their creative flow. They're attentive, calm, and truly professional. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality of instruction and support. Check for promotions or deals. Overall, it's a relaxed, well-organized space where kids can enjoy creating freely and parents can feel at ease. We had such a great experience and would definitely come back

They spend about 5 minutes going over some rules, and then it's just up to the kids to throw paint on the canvas. As expected, most kids put way too much paint on, so it ends up just being a dirty color blob of paint on the canvas. I wish that they spent a few minutes giving the kids ideas on what to do and tips for what looks good. However, there was none of that....
