The three-story Build-A-Bear Workshop at ICON Park opened Nov. 5, adding the company's largest location to Orlando's International Drive.

The building includes a first-of-its-kind Build-A-Bear x Pokémon Workshop, a Hello Kitty and Friends shop and an adoption-style Promise Pets area. Guests can also book an appointment at the Design Studio to create a custom furry friend with a consultant.

Other experiences include a Bakeshop where guests can decorate cupcakes and cookies, plus a Personalize Me station for embroidery, screen printing and patches. A rooftop area sits above the Workshop.

The usual make-your-own process and Heart Ceremony remain part of the location. This is Build-A-Bear's largest and most immersive store experience.
