Sensory-Friendly Time at Build-A-Bear

Every Tuesday – The First Hour of the Day is Sensory-Friendly!

Fun for EVERYONE at Build-A-Bear Workshop! 

We’re excited to create magical moments for children with autism and other special needs through our Sensory-Friendly Events! Every Tuesday, during the first hour of the day, our Workshops transform into a calm and welcoming environment that’s still packed with heartwarming fun.

What Makes It Sensory-Friendly?

-  Dimmer lighting for a soothing atmosphere

- Little to no music, so it’s peaceful and comfortable
