Build-A-Bear Workshop
​2022

Build-A-Bear Workshop is a gift shop that opened in 2022 at Cedar Point. 

Build-A-Bear Workshop is located in Frontier Town between Coca-Cola Freestyle and Frontier First Aid. 

Build-A-Bear Workshop replaced the former Jitney Arcade. Jitney Arcade opened in 1969 and closed in 2019.

Build-A-Bear Workshop has a really nice inviting feel on the midway. It is nice and colorful and draws guests in to check it out. 

Build-A-Bear Workshop is a national chain. The first Build-A- Bear opened in 1997 in St. Lewis, Missouri. There are about 127 build a bear stores in the United States. 

The inside of the store is really nice. While the store isn't frontier themed, it still is a nice addition to Cedar Point.

At Build-A-Bear you get to choose exactly how you want your bear to look! Your bear is your personal friend!

First you choose what friend you want to make! There are a ton of different bears to choose from. 

Next you choose what you want your bear to wear, and what accessaries you want your bear to carry. 

Your bear comes to life when it is filled with Batten. After that you can dress it with what you picked out! 

If you don't want to carry your bear around with you Cedar Point does offer a service that will take your bear to the front of the park where you can pick it up at the end of the night. Build-A-Bear is about 1 mile from the Front Gate. 

Build-A-Bear was a great addition to Cedar Point. It gives guest an actual experience that is different from other things in the park.
