DD just wants a small party at Build a Bear this year, but she has a few boys she would like to invite. Wondering if they'll have fun or think it's too girly?

My 6 year old DS enjoyed the Build-A-Bear party he was invited to last year, plus the owl he built still resides on his end table, so I would say it's fine for boys.

My son has been to a party, and gone once on his own (while we were in Disneyland) and he loved it. They have lots of 'boy' themed clothes, etc.

M just made one for TT a couple months ago. When you press the paw it says " I Love you TT" in M's voice.

Yes! I think my 7.5 year old would still like this! I picked him up a Halloween Beanie Baby a few days ago and he is crazy about it. I've always meant to go to Build-a-Bear but have never made it.

I went to a party there last week & there were 3 boys (4, 6 & 8yo.) They all seemed to have a great time (esp the older 2!)

DD1's 5th birthday party was at Build a Bear and they boys that were invited all seemed to have a great time. There were lots of boy-geared clothes and accessories.

Have you seen the Star Wars outfits they have right now! They are so cool. I vote yes, boys that age would also enjoy.

We just went to one for our niece. Both boys (3 and 5) really liked it. DS1 was excited to be able to pick an Ironman shirt for his bear!

I think boys love B-A-B! I have never thought of it as a "girl place" - it's totally gender neutral IMO.

Yup - there are plenty of boy-friendly options.

DS1 loves RideMakerz (which is similar to BaB but they build a car ;) ), but he would definitely enjoy BaB I think. He's 6.5.

There were quite a few boys at DD1's 6th bday party, which was a faux-Build a Bear type thing. They all seemed to like it, no complaints! (And I was also worried.)

Thanks everyone! I thought it was fine but DH kept saying it was too girly to invite the boys. I'm calling tomorrow to book it...sounds like everyone has enjoyed parties there.
