Went to get a bear. The cheapest one was 15 pound. I wasn't allowed to help stuff it or build the bear and I thought thats what it is meant to be. The staff were quite rude and didnt talk . For the upgrades it was like extortionate prices Used to love build a bear but not so keen now. Such a shame
Been here a lot nice well presented store, staff are helpful and engaging with the children making it a special experience for them. My only issue is upon entering the store recently two staff members offered there help, I told them we were just looking as only that second entered the store but they proceeded to take my child to the bears to see what he wanted which fair enough was helpful but we had a set budget and wanted to show him what he could get our selves but they proceeded to show him the most expensive bears on the shelf as when my son looked at the lower cost ones they directed him to the higher costing again. Being helpful is great but maybe let customers get in the store and look first if helps needed people will usually ask. Apart from this we had a good time.
Absolutely fantastic first experience at build a bear. Took my baby girl for her 1st birthday bear. Bit of a wait but plenty to look around at. I had put my email in to be in the bonus club - upon getting to the till for some reason it wasn't finding that on the system. The girl behind the counter was fantastic and got me signed up and sorted, otherwise it would have been an hour spent for nothing and we wouldnt have returned. Now we already have the next 2 years we will be getting!! Excellent customer service.
There was a lady in here (sorry I didn't catch her name, hair shaved and the sides and brightly coloured) who clearly loves her job. This lady made me want to work at build a bear. I was happy(ish) spending my money there as the service is some of the best I've ever had. Thank you - the 15 year old with the Kyle Ren and the moaning mum 😂
Went her for my niece's birthday party. Very well run, the store layout is good for parties (better than the meadowhall store I think) and the kids all had a great time. Yes it's expensive but everything is well made and lasts.
