If you have even a passing interest in American Girl dolls you need to go to this store. The place is just packed with dolls and accessories. They make little displays showing each doll in different situations.
The staff is friendly and helpful. We were approached by each of the floor staff. They offered us a sticker, the American Girl star, and talked with my daughter about the dolls she brought with her. They answered questions but did not push us to buy things.
We wound up having our girl Samantha's hair styled and getting her ears pierced. We bought a hair brush and some sun glasses, each discounted 15% since we bought two things. Totalled about $40.
Next we went to the restaurant located in store, the Bistro. It is decorated beautifully. We brought two dolls with us and they each got a highchair to sit at the table (not to take home but for sale) and a little mug and saucer (to take home!). The menu is very kid-friendly- grilled cheese, hamburgers, pasta, pizza- with more adult pleasing options like caesar salad also. The menu is not split between kids and adults. Good because each option is very tasty, bad because the portions are too much for children. I got the Caesars salad. It was delicious. The best thing being the chicken was fresh, not frozen and reheated.
It was a really great experience. My daughter has been looking forward to this trip for a long time and was not disappointed.
