Moxie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 My DD has a birthday in October and I think she would like to visit the American Girl store in St. Louis. Any reviews? Should we do any of the meals? How long should we plan to stay there? Is there something nearby that Dad and the boys could do while the girls have fun??

MrsMommy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 We haven't eaten there, but I can share pictures of the store from the Grand Opening: American Girl Store It was a lot of fun! My girls could have spent forever just looking at stuff! As for Dad and the boys...what ages? And how nearby? I keep wishing they'd build a Lego store, but that hasn't happened yet, but there are fun things to do, depending on how far they want to venture.

Moxie Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 They will have the car so they can drive but they will probably not go too far. The boys are 11 and 6. Thanks for sharing the photos!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've never actually been to this place, but it's not too far away and looks fun. It has limited hours, though, so depending on when you're going, it may not work. Faust Park is just down the road, and it's pretty cool. Even though we used to live in Chesterfield, that's all I can think of right now. If anything else comes to mind, I'll let you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I have only been to American Girl in NYC and it is so much fun. The lunch was actually quite nice (and bring your doll because they give you a chair for them) I think how long you spend in the store depends on how much you want to spend. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianmumof5 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 We took a major detour on our way home from our Memphis road trip this past spring JUST to go to that AG store :D Yes, go. It is mayhem but your DD will love it. An hour is probably enough time but it all depends on if you plan to have the hair done, ears pierced,etc. we did, only because that was likely the only chance we would have to be in an AG store. We didn't get a chance to eat at the cafe - it is small and didn't have a lot of staff the day we were there. I can't recall if they take advance reservations? Your DH & boys can always go to eat at The Cheesecake Factory which is a short walk from the store. Mmmmmm.......cheesecake :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 We went there this spring and it is a very small AG store. We've been to the one in ATL too and it's a smaller store as well, but St Louis- especially the bistro- is smaller. I'm sure your DD will still have a fun time, but she should know it's not going to be big like Chicago or NYC. The bistro is super duper tiny. If you want to eat, make sure you get reservations because it is teeny- like 5-6 tables total. I don't know what else is around there. We got the afternoon tea and enjoyed it.
