Our 3 grandkids thoroughly enjoyed their experience here! It was the youngest, 5 year old first time and she was really excited throughout the whole process!

Great place to make up your own teddy? Different design of bears. It is on Pier 39 in San Francisco California.

I haven't actually been to this location, but I walked into a BAB for the first time today in a mall in Spokane Washington. The staff was very friendly and the employee at the stuffing ceremony (I don't want to assume their pronouns) was incredibly engaging. The performance was reminded me of Disney (I've been to Disneyland and Disney World (U. S. Locations).

Based on what I saw today I know the BAB on Fisherman's Wharf must be next level! I'm mean it's in San Francisco! I imagine there is all kinds of food and shops to tour with your newest best friend.

I didn't buy a bear, or any accessories but there were TONS of options. The Teddy Tote caring bags are a MUST (they don't call them that but they should). I just cannot gush enough about how personalized you can make your plushy. It reminds me of a grade school word problem where you have to figure out how many outfit combinations you can make from the items in a closet. At BAB there are just too many too count!

Ohhh! AND IF YOU EVER MISPLACE YOUR CUDDLE BUDDY: if the finder does not fall in love with them and decide to keep them for themselves, they can return it to ANY BAB and they will make sure you are reunited with them (confusing sentence I know, but I want to be respectful of pronouns.).

So pleased with our experience at this Build a Bear Shop! We were visiting from out of town and decided to stop by. The employee stuffing the bears, Pam, was so interactive with my 4 year old. She talked to him and got him very excited about his bear. She even got my teenager talking about his purchase. Loved her customer service!

Came here as an adult wishing to recreate precious childhood memories, my expectations were met and then some. It's a build-a-bear workshop, same as all the others, but definitely special visiting in a famous location.

It was really nice. My love and myself were celebrating our wedding anniversary by creating a bear. We had a wonderful time. The employees were awesome.

My granddaughter loved her experience here! The employee stuffing, sowing, bringing to life her bear was amazing at her job! Could tell she enjoyed making kids laugh and creating their new friend. Would definitely go again when granddaughter visits

Wow. I have to say that the " Build a Bear" workshop located at Pier 39 in San Francisco was excellent. The staff are super friendly and cater to the children. Fir the amount of money you spend, you DO want your child to feel special and to create a memorable experience.
I feel that the staff did that today!
Thanks go out to that particular store?

Build a bear is not for you individuals are are on a budget or just not loving your child/cousins enough The selection of choices of stuff animals are nearly endless. Not only are the children lure to the selection of choices but the endless add on that comes with their choice. From clothing to sunglasses to shoes to card to voice chips. Yeah, there is no way you are going into this bear shop with just a naked bear. The finished bear needs to go home in a fancy box or else you are doing it wrong. Regardless this build a bear work shop is worth the trouble especially if you are in trouble or really just want to brighten your child up. That and the endless options of activities that is around this place. You really can not go wrong with this place. You do however need to plan your time a bit as parking can be an issue only if you are frugal. No point in coming to this place and tearing up about $15 dollar parking. The convenience is worth the extra dollar.

It was very interesting. The service was good just the lady stuffing my bear talked to much. But it's part of her job so I understand. I'll go back

Poor service, and when got help the employee was rude and tries to impose a sale, rather than suggest. Left empty handed.
