Surprise!, and Build-A-Bear, as well as cuddly friends, puzzles, and classic board games.
Every day is filled with live activities and entertainment.

For hands-on fun, children can create their own cuddly friends in Build-A-Bear, build amazing creations in the LEGO® play zone, try their luck with Bandai Gashapon, or discover adorable characters at Bunnies By The Bay.
