Bear Factory Reviews

This is a bit of magic for the kids (and the big soft adults like me). Children these days I find grow up too quickly and this place does keep the child in them and is well worth it for all sexes under the age of 5, over the age of 5 the boys don't want to believe in this magic and teddy nonsence. When you walk into this shop you are ...  Read the complete review

To be perfectly frank with you the Bear Factory is not a shop I ever thought I'd be stepping inside. I'm not a huge bear fan, and I don't have kids so really why would I want to go there?! Well it all came about when my niece and nephew decided they'd like to come and stay with us at Easter without mum or dad, this was a new thing for them, and ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is 7 years old and has become obsessed with this place. I took her there last week to see what all the fuss was about and it was quite an eye opener. There is a routine you go through in there which for a 7 year old girl is magical but for a 39 year old is torturous and embarassing. First you choose your teddy from a host of pelts ...  Read the complete review

My little sister is mad about stuffed toys so for her birthday I went to the bear factory after reading about it on here to get her a bear that was especially for her. There are hundreds of stuffed toys, bears animals etc on display for you to choose from and are available in a few different sizes, once you have chosen which one you ...  Read the complete review

I have a younger sister and a nephew so The Bear Factory is an ideal place for me to find a nice gift for them. The Bear Factory sells cuddly toys (that's probably obvious from the store name), the cuddly toys are different animals, for example, bear, rabbit, monkey, cat, dog, plus many, many more. The prices are variable depending on which cuddly ...  Read the complete review

The Bear Factory was once one of my favourite shops when I was younger. I'd spend hours looking through all the latest collections, filled with glee. Though it's just a shop, so what made it so special? Believe it or not, the Bear Factory sells teddy bears! Though not all the teddies are bears; they also do a variety of other animals, ...  Read the complete review

Me and my dad went to the bear factory to have a look for something special for my daughters first birthday. We didnt realise untill we got there that you can have a bear made how ever you want. Firstly we had to pick what teddy we wanted and seen as my dauhter was cat mad we chose a cat. Then we got to choose from ...  Read the complete review

My son went to the Bear Factory for his sixth birthday. It was excellent. He chose a bear, stuffed it, made a wish on a heart before it was finally put inside his bear. He even got to dress the bear as batman and give it a name. I cannot recommend the bear factory highly enough. Supurb value for money and memories that will last a lifetime. My ...  Read the complete review

The Reason i am writing this review is because this shop (Build a bear) Has taken over all stores from the Bear Factory and i felt i should point this out in case anyone was wondering where the Bear factory had gone or not gone if you know what i mean. Build a bear is similar to The bear factory which sold Bears that you could buy in ...  Read the complete review

Being the big kid that I am, I love teddies. Infact, I still have all of the stuffed animals I had when I was born! So you can imagine my delight at walking into the Hamley's store during the festive season a few years back and finding a factory full of bears! Yes, it is the unmistakable Bear Factory, which puts the fun back into buying stuffed ...  Read the complete review

I can not emphasis just how much fun the Bear Factory Workshop is. Also known as 'build a bear factory', if you haven't heard of the stores before, you make your own teddy bears. Taking about 20 minutes, it is very fun. I went and made a bear with my girlfriend on valentines day. Was perfect. The bear factory are a nationwide company, ...  Read the complete review

I suppose I was at that awkward teenage stage in my life when a Bear Factory store opened up near me. I rolled my eyes and guffawed when my big sister told me about how you get to make your own bear and dress it here. After all, I was far too big for that, and the whole idea just sounded totally embarrassing! A year passed and I must ...  Read the complete review

The bear factory is a great place to go to buy a present for that special someone in your life. My boyfriend took me and bought me a monkey. Fair enough it isn?t a bear but it is made in the same way. This shop in some respects can be compared to subway sandwiches in the fact that you can pick and choose what you want. The process of buy ...  Read the complete review

I have worked in the bear factory Crawley for the past 2 1/2 weeks as a Christmas temp, and I thought a review from the inside would be a good idea. My interview was a little random, I guess they were desperate for people to work and they offered me the job on the Saturday and asked me to be in the shop at 11 the next Monday, luckily it ...  Read the complete review

There are special moments in our children's lives that we like to mark by buying them a special gift, something to treasure. Personally the best gifts I have given my children have been the ones that have been unexpected, the little treats that we have surprised the children with. The other evening my son decided that he was old enough to ...  Read the complete review

I've read all the reviews on the bear factory in this section and quite honestly if anyone thinks that £15 for a fantastic quality teddy with 'kiss wish' heart and years of smiles from your young children is expensive, then you're cheap. Let?s face it, go to Clinton cards and buy a teddy for £15, not very much choice and ...  Read the complete review
