To pick a friend out, stuff it, participate in the heart ceremony, fluff it, and dress it up, makes a new friend even more special. We have been to Build a Bears in several states. This location does have some of the more genuinely friendly staff. To provide such an unique experience, friendly staff is key. Even with the craziness that was the Pay Your Age event, customer service was on point. Once inside the store, the customer experience was no different than a regular visit. I tried to hurry my children, so the next group could enter. The staff seemed to be trying to give the children the full experience. This location was very calm inside. The way the unstuffed animals are displayed maximizes the selection for the space provided. Some locations spread out the selections. I like that this location has everything close together. Three stuffing stations are available. Three computers for registering one's furry creations, and a couple "wash"/ fluffing stations are available. Such an experience does not come cheap. From the higher price of the animals, to the price of outfits, accessories, and furniture, creating a new friend can really add up. Some of the outfits are as much as the stuffed animals.

Sadly, these guys are about an hour and a half from our home, so we don't make it in regularly…read more They are located in a strip mall with very, very limited parking and it's a tight fit if you have a larger vehicle. But the store itself is spacious with good sized aisles and tall shelves. This is a great toy store! They have so many great items, ranging from Star Wars figures, Transformers, NECA, POP figures, G.I. Joe, wrestling figures, and then also high end stuff that you can usually only find online like Sideshow 12 inch figures, Vitruvian Hacks and even Haslab items. We never leave there emptyhanded. The staff are always helpful and friendly too. If they weren't so far away we would frequent them a few times a month!!

I was looking for some theme specific gifts (tennis, pickleball, spa) for birthday presents. The lovely lady working there was helping someone when I arrived but paused to greet me, which was nice. I was enjoying just wandering around, when they finished she came over to say Hi and make sure I was finding what I needed. She pointed out a section of the store that I might have missed and pointed out some adorable note cards in my themes. I was so impressed by the amount of merchandise that is made in the USA and I found so many fun things in the themes of the parties. Cocktail napkins, note cards, bath bombs, shower scent items and so many cute baby things. I'll be back for sure, good customer service and lots of quality products made here in the USA. I given most of the gifts and the recipients loved them.

Great idea if you were looking to add something a little creative into your week.

We were able to get reservations very easily, and the studio put together a large table for us to be able to talk and paint. It is eight dollars for just being in the studio plus the price of your item. The ceramics can cost anywhere from eight bucks to 100, depending on what you are wanting to design. A coffee cup was about $18-$20. They do put the item in a kiln and allow you to pick it up at your convenience within three months.

My experience of this park keeps on getting better and we ended up this time going on the busiest days like Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I went one day on a Thursday, but that is when we landed. We usually tend to get here an hour and 15 minutes early as they open the gates right at 9:00am. I recommend going to the not self serve parking as for some reason my phone did not scan to open the gate and it is easier for the person to scan the phone. If you are having trouble someone will come and scan for you. For Gold and Prestige members we got to into the park 30 minutes early and they opened up Diamondback, the updated Phantom Theatre and Great Pumpkin Coaster. If you have a regular ticket, you can explore the shops or wait at your favorite ride. I like the Peanuts characters are in one showplace too so you can go visit them. Here are the places I ate at as I have the meal pass: 1. Sports Bar - sit down place, food takes awhile to get, but you are relaxing at a table, while they come and give you your food. This place gets crowded 2. Mexican Place - not too bad, guacamole is extra however 3. Paris French - had the shrimp sandwich, but the chips were salty, bread has on the hard side 4. BBQ - I did not try it, but the meat looked really dry 5. Tom Chee - this place is good, but only if you like greasy sandwiches. Very filling for sure I recommend getting the blue ice cream and the red soda only available on selection locations. I tend to have at least one cup and ice cream per visit I did not buy too much merchandise this time around, but I like the Snoopy Store to visit. Shows For some reason, they do not do any Peanuts shows anymore. We watched Brad Ross, illusionist and he was fun to watch and a 50 minute show. We watched his show 4 times, but sometimes it was a way to escape the heat and take a nap and figure out how he did some of the tricks. Seating is comfortable. They do have live entertainment like dancers or singers in some areas. They do have the wine festival, but we did not buy a card since we have a meal plan. Rides (I rode the following) and here are my thoughts this time around as they might be different since the last review 1. Banshee - gotton rougher over the years and the vest restraints got tighter on me 2. Drop Zone - this ride worked on the last 2 days, show operations, but recommend to ride once 3. Congo Falls - sometimes this operates on certain days, but fun to get soaked 4. Bat - an okay ride, only ride it if the line is short 5. White Water Canyon - you will get soaked by the geyers, this ride opens from 12 to 9pm 6. Charlie Brown Rushing River - Fun log ride, line moves slow, I wish they would open both lanes. 7. Snoopy Soap Box Racers - fun kids ride 8. Woodstock Twirly Birds Ride - I always have fun being in the helicopter, ride is too short though 9. Mystic Timbers - fun wooden ride, lines are not long on this one 10. Diamondback - this line tends to get long for some reason and can be longer than Orion 11. the Beast - we like doing a day time ride which line is very short and night time ride line gets long. They do shut the ride down at 9:30pm for the fireworks show and reopen at 10:20pm. My wife and I sometimes do not get out of the park until 11:30pm. Night ride is definitely worth it. The ride has definitely gotton smoother 12. Orion - definitely one of my favorite rides - I wish they had more shade on the line queue, but lines do move quickly 13. Red Racer/Blue Racer - I prefer the red racer more smoother compared to the blue 14. Windseeker - slow operations on this one, but the line is not long, but a great view of the park 15. Adventure Express - pretty neat ride for visual, but rough riding it 16. Woodstock Air Flyers - this ride tends to get longer, but I find it a little on a shaky side 17. Antique Cars - we like going on this ride. Line might look long, but it ends up being around 20 minutes Rides I did not go on this trip but wanted to Flight of Fear - some reason this line got the longest and I do not know why, but definitely not worth waiting for 40 minutes. I think I rode this ride a bunch when it was raining and all of the other rides were closed. Overall a great time and have a fun time at this park.

Genuinely the WORST time I have ever had in a theme park in my life!! Me and my mom went out to…read morevisit after multiple other visits as recent as July because of our previously good experience.. But the en-crappification of the service was absolutely abysmal in that short of time. The service was horrendous, the lines were horrendous, and the way every system here is set up is designed for you to fail, while they squeeze every cent out of you while doing it. We started out bad, due to the fact it wasn't even half a day, it was 5 hours, which why?? It's August, and 85 degrees outside! What do you mean it's not summer? They charge full price for 5 hours. The total paid was $200 for 2 people. DO NOT GO ON WEEKDAYS PAST JULY, THEY ARE ALL LIKE THIS! The moment we got there, we were very early in the line as we got there hours early. How are we repaid for our wait? They claimed the tickets we ordered online were invalid. I refreshed the tickets, and the staff member at the gate refused to try to re-scan it, and told us to go to the tickets support kiosk. We had to surrender our spot in line, and then we had to wait in line in tickets support. And what did they tell us? That it was fine and it was just an error. We had to go to the BACK OF THE LINE for this. It took us nearly 30 minutes to get in.. And reminder, we had 5 hours. So after our very limited time was absolutely wasted over incompetence, we finally got in, and went to get something to eat. The portions are absolutely horrendous for the price you pay. You're better off getting McDonald's before you go. The "Meal plan" isn't even worth it due to how little you get and the time you have between your orders. Mind you, it's $40-ish to get. The whole thing about minors having to be accompanied by an adult at all time is a complete joke, the entire time we were getting steam-rolled by random children at all times. One even almost knocked me to the ground they hit me at such force. And their parents were nowhere in sight. I seen children get on rides for adults by themselves with no adult in sight, I even seen children casually walking around alone with no parent to be found. Clearly they do not enforce this, and that's dangerous. You think you got a solid spot in line? Nope, too bad! The amount of people cutting in line will have your blood boiling, and they aren't punished for it at all. Children and adults alike just help themselves to the front like it's nothing. Not only that but my mom got harassed by a random man in the line, so that's great too I guess, just what we always wanted! Was nothing done about him? Nope! Of course not silly! The routes you take to get to anything are the absolute worst ways of travel I've seen in my existence. It's like you have to walk all the way to Dagestan to get to a Viking ship. Not to mention that if you want a specific restaurant, get ready to do a 5 mile hike to it. Don't even try it in the dark, you're not going to have a fun time. In the 5 hours we had, we only got to ride 4 things. And this was us spending our entire time getting to rides, except for the beginning. We wanted to finish off our day by riding The Beast. The line was 80 minutes long. And that's not even counting the amount of people cutting the line in front of us. And, they cut off and shut it down right as soon as we were about to be let in. We waited forever in the crowd of screaming adults for nothing. At the end of the day, I was left defeated, drained, exhausted, stressed beyond belief, mentally overwhelmed, and upset. A theme park isn't a place you're supposed to feel like you got yelled at by your boss, you're supposed to make great memories, but this is an experience I will never reflect on positively and will remember for the rest of my life as the place that damaged my very soul.
