Build-A-Bear Workshop’s original Pay-Your-Age Day was so popular they had to end it early due to unprecedented lines and safety concerns. Now this special offer lasts all month during your child’s birthday!
Bring your birthday kiddo to a Build-A-Bear Workshop any day during their birthday month, and the age they are turning is how much it costs to make their very own Birthday Treat Bear! 5 years old? That’s just five bucks! 8 years old? That’s just eight bucks!
To qualify, the birthday child must be physically present and accompanied by an adult who is a member of the Build-A-Bear Bonus Club (become a member — it’s free to join!). No proof of age or birth certificate is required; just let the Bear Builders know you’re celebrating, and together you’ll count the candles to see what age your child is turning.
See important terms and conditions below. DMV locations include:
- Springfield Town Center
Springfield, VA - Fair Oaks Mall
Fairfax, VA - Potomac Mills Mall
Woodbridge, VA - Westfield Montgomery Mall
Bethesda, MD
This offer is available in stores only, is limited to one per guest, and applies exclusively to the Birthday Treat Bear (regularly $14; minimum price $1). Outfits and accessories are sold separately. The offer is not valid at Build-A-Bear Workshops located inside other venues, such as Great Wolf Lodge and Rainforest Cafe. Birthday Treat Bear availability may vary by store, so call your local Workshop to confirm inventory before you visit.
