    Halloween is near
    Edrika G.

    THIS is specifically why I brought my grand-niece to National Harbor. It was so quiet in the store; we had it all to ourselves. What's the hardest thing about bringing a 16-month old to build a bear? ...getting them to focus! There are so many options. You can pick your bear, give them a heart, give them a voice, dress them, and buy them furniture. Soooo much to consider! My niece finally honed in on the purple kitty (I can't remember her name there were so many). It was a Halloween kitty that we could dress in a Halloween get-up with a witch hat and broom. So cute. The store employee filled it with stuffing and asked if we wanted more. The baby chose the heart and handed it over to be placed inside. The outfit came separate. Once purchased the store employee asked if we wanted him to dress the cat. Lol.... Too cute. They were very helpful. You could easily spend hundreds of dollars in here if you purchase more than one outfit, furniture, voice options, etc. But it's a key memory for the baby and she loved that cat.

    9/26/20 This Build A Bear Shop has more to offer than the other shop we visited today. However, the music I heard was atrocious. I can't remember who was playing, but this is a good thing. We were the only ones to stop by at the time so the employee who greeted us was dancing to the music playing. Still she had a sense of humor, but I think she would have rather been by herself. We didn't buy anything even though this store had Baltimore Ravens Merchandise for your stuffed animal. Maybe next time.

    She was so happy!

    We went to take my daughter to make a bear for her new baby brother. It was completly empty, every single staff member was super sweet! There was even something wrong with the price, and they caught it before i even noticed!

My daughter had so much fun with the employees and other kiddos! I opted to sit downstairs which is louder, but there is a quiet work/study space upstairs for additional cost. Before we left I also ordered food to go from Shorty's Deluxe. Childcare and food all in one Highly recommend Mulberry Lane for all the parents!

But Mulberry Lane is a notch above bc not only is it a play cafe but there is staff there to watch your lils while you get to go elsewhere within the building whether that's in the lil tables visibly nearby or in one of their neighboring and partnering restaurants. I'd toootally get my kids memberships if we lived nearby. Since we probably would only go weekends for an hour or two, I'm glad there are the options for one time pay or multi hour passes for future use. Since we weren't sure if we'd be back, we gave it a try for one hour. Prices may change but our first time was $18 per child per hour. This may seem high for only one hour, but my kids had fun and my hour without worrying about them or being interrupted was very productive so it was worth it. Staff are friendly. I only wished they had gluten free options for the kiddos to enjoy after their play. Guess we can bring our own next time! :)

    This park is a very nice neighborhood park. It is relatively small and has a few parking spots…read morealong the circle. The park is buried deep behind a neighborhood. The park has a picnic shelter with picnic tables under it and a grill just outside of it. It has two picnic tables. One of the tables is rectangular and the other is a square table with a checkerboard on it. There is also a couple of picnic tables and a grill in a grassy area in the center of the park's circle. You will also find a nice full basketball court at the park and a nice paved trail passes through it. It is a really nice trail and very peaceful. The highlight of the park though, is its playground. The playground has a rubber mud free floor, which is in great shape. There are benches around the playground's perimeter where parents can sit and watch their little ones. The playground's equipment includes a small jungle gym with slides, a large net climbing structure with a slide. There is also a bank of swings with a toddler swing, An ADA compliant swing, and some traditional swings. This is a very nice park. I didn't know if I would make a special trip to visit, but it is still very nice. I ended up here because I had picked up some food from a carryout joint and needed a place to eat it. The park's picnic shelter was the perfect spot. So, if you are in the area, and looking for a park to visit. I recommend checking this place out.

    Parks can make or break an outing with kids. I brought my nieces (7 and 4) and nephew (one) to this…read morepark since it looked like it had a good review. There is lots of space to park, very clean, and beautiful to look at. My nieces loved the blue color. There's a jungle gym, slides, swings for big kids and toddlers. The size is on the smaller side so it might get boring after an hour. My rec is 30-60 minutes stay. Also it's in a neighborhood which is a bit inconvenient when driving through. Stop by if you're already in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip again.

I…read morevisited Pippin Toys today with my six-year-old niece and her parents, excited to buy her some toys from this shop. She and her parents are visiting the D.C. area from out of state, and visiting a toy store was at the top of her list. (We made plans yesterday to spend the afternoon in Old Town partially so we could take her to this toy store.) We weren't greeted when we entered the store, and one of the two employees made no effort to conceal the fact that she was following us around while we browsed various sections of the store, rummaging around pointlessly with items in the exact places where we were looking, but never asking if we needed help at any point during this charade. When I finally couldn't help but ask the employee what was going on, and why she had followed us around so closely but hadn't taken the the trouble to ask if we needed any assistance, the store's owner (or perhaps manager), who might have instructed the employee to closely follow customers she believed might be planning to shoplift, simply frowned at us from behind the counter, and made no effort to apologize. (My brother, I, and my niece were dressed in outfits that I thought looked absolutely perfect for a day shopping in Old Town [I've lived in Alexandria for the past fifteen years], but maybe I was wrong.) There's a toy store and children's clothing boutique approximately one and a half blocks east of Pippin Toys called the Pink & Brown Boutique, where we made several purchases, stopping on the way from Misha's Coffee to our destination of Pippin Toys and being pleasantly surprised by its existence. Both the toy and clothing selections at the Pink & Brown Boutique are impeccably curated, and the store's owner is incredibly friendly and doesn't treat her customers (which every small store needs these days, I'd imagine) like potential shoplifters. She'll continue to receive my family's business in the future, and I won't be visiting Pippin Toys again.
