About us

Build-A-Bear Workshop offers a magical hands-on experience where kids and families can bring their plush friends to life. With a wide range of cuddly characters, fun outfits, and personalized touches, every visit becomes a cherished memory.

Since its founding in 1997, Build-A-Bear Workshop has brought joy to families worldwide, with over 500 locations across more than 15 countries. The interactive experience invites guests to choose, stuff, and personalize their own stuffed furry friends, adding special touches like scents, sounds, and a heartfelt ceremony to make each creation truly special.

To enhance celebrations, Build-A-Bear Workshop offers special birthday experiences. With the “Pay Your Age” offer, during their birthday day, you can purchase a Birthday Treat Bear for the price of the age you are turning – for example, a 6-year-old pays just €6.

Additionally, themed birthday parties provide a memorable experience where each guest creates their own furry friend, guided by a dedicated party leader, complete with fun activities and games.

In Finland, Build-A-Bear Workshop has partnered with XS Lelut.
Build-A-Bear Workshop is located inside the XS Lelut store on the 6th floor of the iconic Stockmann department store in central Helsinki.
