Wow I guess I haven't stop by a build an ear shop for years, kids are grown up now talk about choices they had tons of choices lots of star wars they were really busy

My children were so excited to build their own stuffed animal. This is their first time doing something like this. The staff here were every unprofessional and rude. To snap at my child because they squealed in excitement is disgusting. Don't work at a business that's meant for children to be happy and have fun. This place need to retrain their staff or replace them with a professional employee who understand children get excited. I normally would have said something to the employees but didn't want to risk having to leave the store and lose the beautiful smiles of joy on my child's face. If could give 0 stars I would.

Great place to bring kids young or old... Today we are here to help our 2-year-old nephew make his first bear, but we've been here a few times with each of our kids (now 12 and 14). The staff does a tremendous job with the kids... Such a great experience! Don't forget to grab an outfit for your bear too!

Five stars for having some hard to find items in stock. If you are at Mall of America and are a BAB fan it is worth a look.

Was in the store buying a bear for my nephew. The woman stuffing was very rude and disrespectful. I will not be coming here again .

This seems like a really cool concept. Like 'Build a Bear' but cars. We stopped in on a busy…read moreSaturday and there was a bit of a line. There were only 2 people working at the time and they were both at the stations building cars with customers. This is for sure the type of place that could benefit from having a greeter or just someone that can just help answer questions while waiting. I feel like after waiting 10 or so minutes we kind of lost interest as the line never moved and we were still unsure about a few things. Would maybe circle back later on if my little cousins show interest again.

Two stars for the great employees. ZERO for management. I'm an older retiree with a love of…read moregadgets and toys. I was having a me day at the mall, and passed this shop. I was lured in by the young man racing a radio controlled car our in front. It started out well, everything was fun, bright and colorful cars, lots of customization options. I watched families play with toy cars, I priced out several models, and seriously was trying to figure what to get. Perhaps I talked to the employees a bit much, old people do tend to over talk the staff, we get a bit lonely. But I was really enjoying the place. (even if it was a bit overpriced for what it is, think theme park toys) Imagine my shock when the staff got a call from the manger (who watches the employees remotely on a camera) that I was to be considered a loiterer (I spent too much time shopping and not buying fast enough you see) and was to leave the store. Staff apologized to me, but I had to go. I'll take my 800+ credit rating and my stack of empty credit cards to a real RC shop that does not treat customers like dairy cattle. Avoid, you can get better RC cars from a company that does not treat potential customers like panhandlers. Really disappointed, I wanted to bring my partner and I in to buy cars this weekend. But we will go someplace where we are wanted. They call this the "Build a Bear" of RC cars. But I've spent a lot of money at build a bear and NEVER been treated like this.

Absolutely beautiful store. This is of all the fish stores I've been too in Minnesota, this is my…read morefavorite. Not only is this store located in a very pretty and interesting building, it was very bright, open and full of fully landscaped aquariums with plants & fish everywhere. As soon as me and my friends walked in we were approached by an employee immediately. My friends went to look around and I asked a few questions. The employee gave me a lot of good answers as well as recommendations and items that might interest me in the store. The store is extremely well stocked, with items I've only been able to find online before. Me and my friends had a ton of fun looking at the tanks around the store and I good some great inspiration looking around. I got a few items including a snail trap (another item I've only seen online!) and the cashier was super friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the shop. The store below even had an enormous reef tank installed and maintained by the store employees. It is always a wonderful experience coming to a store where everyone is so passionate about their craft, and I can't wait to come back

I love this place!…read more You know how your kid bugs you for a fish tank and promises to take care of it only to lose interest as soon as the first pair of guppies dies? Well, that was me over 50 years ago except I never lost interest. I've been keeping fish and visiting fish stores around the country for my entire life. The people from World Of Fish who started RiverShore Aquariums have done a great job. Located not far from the original World of Fish, RiverShore has clean tanks, friendly and knowledgeable staff and they are super keyed in on planted tank setups. These days my tanks are relatively simple just to keep things easy, rocks and driftwood mostly, but I've been wanting to do a planted tank for a while. I know the basics but had some questions on substrate, plant selection and lighting for what is basically going to be a freshwater nanotank. The staff person who helped me was super knowledgeable, answered my questions and gave me some good advice for getting started. They had a good selection of different kinds of gravel as well as an assortment of driftwood and rocks. I liked that they have a table where you can do a little aquascaping trial and error before you make a final selection. The fish were high quality and appeared healthy. Most were smaller species suitable for planted tanks. I even discovered a new species that I had never heard of - anchor catfish. Super cool and perfect for my little nanotank. I know enough about fish and have been to enough fish stores to know which ones are really good. Rivershore is at the top of the list if you live in the Twin Cities, and especially if you're interested in giving planted tanks a try. Even if its plants aren't your thing or you are new to the hobby, I'd checkout Rivershore for your first aquarium.

What an incredibly fun and bonding experience this was. I brought my six-year-old, identical twin…read moregranddaughters on their birthday to have this special princess diva day. They wore Princess finery but it's not necessary because each child is allowed to select a tiara and scepter to keep, given a Princess & Diva robe to wear, and allowed to select a fun ring. They have slides to wear around the salon and little lockers to store their items. We did a package that included mani-pedis, facials, makeup, and clip-in colored hair extensions. The girls were in heaven. I was impressed by the staff and their engagements with little kids. Such simple things like, "What's your favorite animal? Favorite movie?" opened up a rapport I greatly appreciated. (Me: "Your favorite animal is a sloth?? So is Auntie Mad's!" Lol) I made a reservation well in advance because their birthday was the day before Thanksgiving and I knew the MOA would be busy. Passers-by definitely enjoyed smiling and waving at the girls through a huge window and they loved the attention! Tips: make a reservation on the website and choose your package; park in the East ramp; the shop is on the 3rd level, across from Marshall's; pay attention to the time allotted for your service, ours was 90 minutes. Enjoy and take LOTS of pictures!
