We went on a Saturday evening, around 5pm. No line what's so ever. Greeted promptly, and asked if we were there for an occasion, and indeed we were there as an early birthday present for a soon to be 3 year old. The staff gave us a birthday crown and sticker and informed us of their birthday bear special deal. They made her feel very special for her birthday.
The staff was very patient during the 20 min it took us to pick out the perfect animal, ultimately a unicorn was decided on. The stuffing station took most of our time because the animal was dirty at first so she had us get a new one and then it wouldn't sew up correctly so we waited for a quite a while but we appreciated that our unicorn was clean and sewed up so it wouldn't come open. They offered us a "beating heart" and scents and sounds you can put inside the animal for a small additional cost. On to the "bath" station, and then to pick out an outfit. We made a "birth certificate" and checked out. The staff was very friendly and helpful during our entire time in the store, and we were there for almost an hour. Our total came to approximately $50 but it would be extremely easy to spend way more, fortunately for me, the 3 year old was very picky about what she wanted for her unicorn and we left with only a skirt, and a brush, with the animal. They also re-sewed it at the check out counter because they noticed a small hole in the opening, which again we appreciated so it wouldn't come open.
Pretty expensive unicorn, but for a special occasion and the joy she is getting from her new best friend is worth it. read more
