Great experience today with my two kids (8yrs & 5yrs).
Both my kids were invited to a build a bear party. We arrived and kids greeted with a lovely welcome and given name stickers. They were then shown a choice of 3 bears to pick (this would be their own bear). They then (7 kids) did various activities as they moved across the store. (The party took place in the store whilst it was still open to the public which was a little odd but somehow worked). Kids then took in turns to pick a heart for their bear, stuff their bear and chose one top they could keep. After all bears were stuffed they then played hide and seek with the bears and the store mascot. At the end of the party they all got to keep their bears and received a 'birth certificate'. The party costs from £10 per child (£13 for this one which includes top), a bear for each guest & host.
We have been to the store on numerous occasions and have always been greeted by polite staff who are happy to help and make the kids feel special. A lovely shop concept for all kids who still enjoy a traditional 'teddy bear' toy. read more
