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
- A downloadable step-by-step guide to help plan your visit in advance (click here to download)
