A strangers birthday surprise we'll never forget…read more.. Yesterday, while treating my daughter and her friend to a day at the mall, while both were enjoying their cotton candy treats a kind young man stopped by. He said it was his 19th birthday--and that every year, he gifts kids a Build-A-Bear in memory of his own childhood experience. He asked if he could buy the girls their own bears as his birthday gift. They screamed with joy! I was speechless, overwhelmed by his generosity and the beauty of the moment. To the Bullard, TX stranger: thank you for reflecting God's character and not looking to flaunt or advertise your generosity, but to simply live how God intends us to be. You inspired two little hearts to do the same. Build-A-Bear, your staff was incredible. This was more than just a store visit--it was a powerful experience of giving, creating, and sharing joy. Remember: one small act of love can spark another. #KindnessMatters #BuildABearMagic #GratefulHeart #BirthdayBlessing #BroadwaySquareMall

There are plenty different stuffed animals/characters to choose from. Like Mario characters. Mickey Mouse. Etc. We needed a birthday gift for my 3 yr old niece. So we got a birthday bear ( right now on a special. Called pay your age. Just for the birthday bear ) and paid just $3 for the bear cause it's my nieces 3yr bday. Picked out Moana outfit. Batman outfit and converse sneakers cotton candy scent. Many to choose from. And a bday stuffed cupcake. It also comes with a birth certificate. Lol. Plus. We got a $10 gift card for $5. All this for under $45. Definitely a great place to get your loved one a gift personalized just for them.

Chuck E Cheese is back to an establishment that focuses on the FUN a child can have there. GONE were the roulette style casino games during which you just press a button and see if you "won", replaced with truly interactive, interesting, and engaging games. We had a party package for my daughter's soccer team, and it was affordable, and awesome. Thank you, Chuck E Cheese, for getting back to your roots, and being a fantastic option for family entertainment and dining! We will FOR SURE be back!

My main issue with this place is how overly crowded it is and the oblivious parents who bring their secretly bad kids to play but don't watch them! Lots of the 5-8 year olds are mean to the toddlers and none of the parents correct their kids behavior. If they had a set up where certain ages could come during certain times I would be all for it. It would also help if they only allowed up to a certain number of kids at a time. They should consider doing a time slot like Playstreet has. Other than that, if it's not crowded it's worth $5. $10 is a little to much for me to watch my 2 year old get carts, toys and play food snatched from his hands and pushed around.
