Build-A-Bear Workshop has long been a pioneer of experiential retail, helping transform shopping from a simple transaction into an interactive, memory-making event. <\/p>\n

For a generation raised on mall trips and heart ceremonies, the brand is synonymous with nostalgia \u2014 and now it\u2019s taking that beloved experience to an entirely new level.<\/p>\n

Hiya, friends. It\u2019s Haley. <\/p>\n

Build-A-Bear recently opened what it calls the largest retail entertainment store in Orlando \u2014 and the largest Build-A-Bear in the world<\/a>. At more than 30,000 square feet and three stories tall, the new ICON Park<\/a> location is unlike anything the brand has ever built.<\/p>\n

ICON Park CEO Chris Jaskiewicz said the scale of the store speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most cutting-edge and largest that I\u2019ve ever seen in Orlando,\u201d Jaskiewicz said.<\/p>\n

He added that Build-A-Bear\u2019s decision to plant its flag on International Drive was a deliberate one, calling ICON Park the number one destination for families in the region.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a transformational year for ICON Park. <\/p>\n

In addition to Build-A-Bear, the entertainment district has welcomed Blue Man Group<\/a> and Nomikai by Sushi Saint, with Ford\u2019s Garage and several other high-profile tenants set to open soon.<\/p>\n

Mysterious dirt plots scattered around Epic Universe had fans buzzing long before any official announcement. With the park sitting at roughly 110 acres inside a sprawling 750-acre property, it was clear Universal Orlando had plenty of room \u2014 and plenty of plans.<\/p>\n

This week, Universal officially confirmed a new indoor roller coaster<\/a> is on the way in Dark Universe. <\/p>\n

With guests spending hundreds of dollars on tickets, parks are increasingly betting on indoor rides to keep the fun going rain or shine.<\/p>\n

As for what the theme will be, it\u2019s still unclear. Rumors suggest a ride about the Creature from the Black Lagoon.<\/p>\n

Dinosaur World<\/a><\/p>\n
