    Entrance to the store

    We had such a fun experience today. Been going to build a bear many years, but this visit today stood out. My younger sons came in for their birthday bears. The staff was so sweet and patient. I wanted to say thank you for keeping the build a bear magic alive. Well done!

    This was such a fun experience. I've never in my life done this before and I always wondered what the process was. My son, husband, in-laws and I all showed up on a Friday afternoon around 2:30 PM. To our pleasant surprise, the place was completely empty and all attention was paid to us so this is a great time to show up. It's located in the Santan Village in "kids Row" everyone who worked there was so incredibly kind to our son and so accommodating to us. For such a fun experience the cost is pretty low, depending on how many upgrades you add. You start out by choosing a bear, or you can choose any animal really. For us, they were offering a two for $45 special so we got our teddy bear and also a monkey that my son chose. Then you go over to the stuffing machine and watch it getting built/coming to life. They ask you what consistency you want which is nice as well. You do have the option to put in a soundbite and you can record yourselves in the teddy bear we recorded us telling him that we love him, and on the monkey, we recorded his voice so he could always hear his voice as a baby even when he's older. You can also add a heartbeat which we did on the teddy bear. After the bear is stuffed, it gets all sewed up. You can go over to the bath station and "clean it" and then you decide the accessories. There's a lot to choose from, I would say more for girls than for boys. We ended up getting a few T-shirts. Then there is a whole station where you can take photos which of course we did. And before you pay and check out you sit down and enter the animal's information by scanning its barcode and creating a birth certificate. The whole experience takes about a half hour depending on how creative you get! I would definitely recommend this experience for any family. For the entire experience we paid under $85.

    On a Friday evening, we hosted our families for an event at this Build-A-Bear Workshop. From scheduling, coordinating and executing this event - these team members did not miss a beat! They were so kind and helpful for each and every family. Their help was incredible and vital to a successful event. They exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be more thankful for how they handled making 44 bears in 90 minutes! That has to be a record! Thank you ladies and gent SO much. Stop in at Little Sunshine's to get a private tour from me! :)

    First time at BABW in a very long time! I bought Zero at the chandler location, but the stuffing machine was down because of electrical issues. So I waited until I was near a BABW location to get him stuffed finally. Elliott was the one who helped me get him stuffed and he was super sweet and didn't make me feel weird about being the only 21 year old in there getting their own plush. Went through the whole ritual and I even added a strawberry scent to him. It was a great experience! The lady at the checkout was very nice too but I forgot to get her name. Will come back for future times!

    See all

Can't complain too much since it's only $15 to add a rental package online ($18 in-person, which is annoying). How about raise it to $20 flat and get some new gear that works reliably = 2 stars The Pro Shop has a good selection of guns and accessories at fair prices compared to online Airsoft retailers. The knowledge of the salespeople however, isn't as good. I get better answers from AI on my phone while standing at the counter. The online reservation system is AWFUL!!! The website is difficult to navigate unless you read by picture. Looks more like multiple flyers glued to a screen that have hidden links in some, but not others. When you select a date, time, and location you end up with the right date and location, but varying times. I booked for 2 people for the 12pm - 4pm session and ended up with one at 12pm and the other @ 4:30pm. = 1 star The staff is friendly and generally helpful in getting issues worked out. That definitely helps, but with all of the online reservation stuff that has to be un-FUBARed, it takes away from the experience and play time. I'm not a web designer, but with most people using technology to purchase goods, services, and experiences, you'd think they'd do some market research to gather feedback on how to build a user-friendly website. We haven't tried any of the other Airsoft locations in Phoenix, but after our three (3) past experiences, I'm ready to move on from VIP Airsoft. It kinda sucks, because this place is close to our house and easy to get to.

Leading up to the party, Christy was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all of my questions via email and even giving us a tour of the venue ahead of time. The space was absolutely perfect for our princess unicorn theme. During the party, Rebecca and DJ were so kind, patient, and attentive with all 15 kids, allowing them to ride the ponies multiple times, helping with photos while riding, and bringing out the hare and baby goat for petting--which the kids absolutely loved. All of the animals, including the miniature horses, donkey, sheep, alpaca, chickens, geese, and ducks, were very friendly and tolerant with the children. It was obvious how well cared for and loved the animals are. DJ even went above and beyond by helping my husband lift a heavy cooler full of drinks during setup, which was greatly appreciated. The party setup looked beautiful, and everyone--kids and parents alike--had an amazing time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Charming Pony Parties to anyone looking for a truly special and memorable celebration!
