We had an incredible experience at Build-A-Bear in Fair Oaks Mall. My mother and I brought my three…read moreoldest children in for a special day while Grandma was in town. As a mom of four under seven, I'm very familiar with the chaos that can come with excited kids trying to make decisions -- and let's just say... it was a long process. From the start, both the manager, Rich, and another employee, Jaleesa, were fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. They offered help multiple times throughout our visit, without rushing us or making us feel like we were a burden. When it was finally time to bring their new stuffed friends to life, Rich went above and beyond to make it magical. The ceremony was full of energy, heart, and fun -- my daughter has said multiple times since that she'll never forget the day her bear was born. Jaleesa was also wonderful -- kind, helpful, and warm throughout the process, especially when it came to choosing outfits and final touches. I especially want to recognize Rich's enthusiasm, positive attitude, and the kindness he showed even while speaking with his team. It's rare to find people who truly love what they do -- but it absolutely showed here. As a mom, investing in toys like this for my kids is no small thing -- so I'm incredibly grateful that this wasn't just about the stuffed animals. It was an experience, a memory, and a moment my children will carry with them. We've visited this store before and had a good experience, but this time was unforgettable thanks to Rich and Jaleesa. We'll definitely be back -- and I'll be recommending this location to everyone I know!

The black women/men's dress boots are all sold out. Well, maybe not. There are one pair left on the princess frog. This place is pretty busy. The sounds of kids laughing with joy/glee warms the heart. I wanted to see if The Ursula Bear is still being sold. I bought one earlier on this year and only recently bought boots for her. I Saw the Harry Potter School Robes are back. It was tempting to buy a RavenClaw Robe, but resisted. My Ursula is a Slitherin for life....no!...FOREVER:) It was nice to visit this store again.

Never trust their posted hours. We have gone 3 times. Each time during hours that they said they…read morewere open and every time the gates were locked. 2 times for private events and 1 time the staff was just sitting around inside because they didn't realize they were supposed to be open. Update: I'm done with this place. You can no longer call to check their hours because their line is dead. This business actively hates their customers. Look elsewhere. I promise you that if you go, they will probably be closed and you'll have disappointed kids. AVOID THIS BUSINESS

(Sunday Afternoon Review) Husband and I came with the toddler to get him out the house. It was…read morecrowded but not packed. Lots to do for kids and areas to sit for adults (go towards the left and right sides in the back area). Red and Yellow slides are extremely slippery for smaller kids so watch for that. If you have trampoline park socks bring those instead of regular socks as the floors are slippery as well. Didn't try anything on the menu but we brought in snacks and a water bottle from home and no one said anything. Restrooms were clean although I recommend they have those booties for people to cover their socks from drips of water around the sink area. Price we paid was $15. Docked a star because they didn't have cards to play games.

My wife and I have done 2 escape rooms at Escapology and we've had a great time in both. The first…read moreone we did was The Code which was solid, had a good amount of locks and puzzles. Some stuff wasn't working functionally (specifically some scanning puzzles) but still a good time and we got out. The second room we did was Who Stole the Mona Lisa which was more difficult. No locks and almost all puzzles/riddles. Very difficult and had to max out our clues but we also got out. We had a weird glitch happen mid-game but our game master Avery was really helpful in setting us back up to restart. Pretty busy area in Fairfax Corner but there is plenty of parking within a block of the building. If you love escape rooms, this place has multiple rooms for everyone.

This attraction also included a fun ropes course with a zip line that went over the first floor. Near concept! My favorite was the laser tag. While it was a small room, it made for a super fun and competitive game! Each attraction set is $10/each, but they always have great deals. We spent $20 and got $40 worth of activities! The staff were mostly friendly and nice. The only downfall of this place is the "go-karts," as they were more like slow bumper cars that you can't bump. Definitely not worth $10. There's also a huge arcade and restaurant here. Highly recommend checking out Fun Land!

It is one of the few indoor play places that genuinely works for that range of ages. The younger kids love the climbing structures and slides, and our 10 year old never feels bored. It's clean, bright, and set up in a way that lets kids explore while parents can actually relax a bit. This was our first time hosting a birthday party there, and it exceeded expectations. Everything was organized, smooth, and low stress. Elif, our host, was excellent. She was warm, attentive, and completely on top of the details from start to finish. She kept the party moving, helped with setup and transitions, and made sure the kids felt celebrated. It made such a difference to have someone so thoughtful and capable guiding the experience. We already loved coming here for regular play, and now we can confidently say their birthday parties are just as great. Highly recommend for both everyday fun and special celebrations.
