So this was our first trip to Stuffington, and it was a blast. I knocked off a star because the location was tricky to find and not very inviting looking from the exterior it looked like a rundown abandoned building. The only sign was a vinyl banner attached the the security fence. The entrance doors were not well marked. Look for the blue double doors on the side of the building near the parking lot.
I loved that the bears are built in the USA and it is a local business. The tour was fun. I set it up with my meet-up group and 12 moms and 15 kids attended, most kids were 5 or younger. We first sat in a room and were given a cool Q&A session and lesson on how the Teddy Bear was invented, and then we walked the production floor and saw how the bears were made. We ended the tour making our own bear to take home.
It was way less expensive than a visit to Build-a-Bear and lots more fun.
