Saint Louis Zoo exclusives
On March 16, 2006, Build-A-Bear opened a special Workshop inside their hometown zoo, the Saint Louis Zoo in Saint Louis, Missouri. Officially called Build-A-Bear Workshop At The Zoo, Where Wild And Wonderful Friends Are Made™, this store stocked not only standard Build-A-Bear furry friends but also special friends exclusive to the location that could not be bought anywhere else.[1]
Over the course of its lifetime, several Zoo exclusives were made available from the buildabear.com webstore, and some had limited international releases.[citation needed]
Build-A-Bear Workshop At The Zoo permanently closed its doors on September 10, 2017.[2]
