This Build-A-Bear is very enjoyable to visit.  The staff and management are upbeat and participate in the events around them.  They are caring for their patrons. They have a great selection of bears and other stuffed toys to choose from.  I like the pirate and the rainbow bear especially. The stuffing stations are in good condition.  One drawback was there was a light film of dust in the place.  I am not sure if it was due to the material batch they were using or the process they used to load the stuffing station.  The process involved dragging out a bag and grabbing large tufts of material and pushing it into the machine.  They might need to work on that one - maybe auto introduction from a bag or small bale.  When we visited there was a young bride there with her bridesmaids and family.  It made the whole activity festive.  Talking about festive - there was a birthday party going on too and if you don't know how it gets in a Build-A-Bear when a party is going on you've simply got to see it to believe it! They have a wide selection of accoutrements for the bears and others.  It's a hoot to browse through them.  Last but not least there is a sound machine where you can load sounds into your bear's heart which is then placed in the chest your bear and sewed in tight.  (It's not as far out as it sounds - once you see it or participate it all makes perfect sense - like having fun!) Enjoy yourself! read more
