Tips About This Business
American Girl Place also frequently hosts special events, including friendship workshops, etiquette classes and book signings; most require reservations.
Meals at the cafe are $16-$20 per person (not including tax), but offerings are more sophisticated than regular kids' menus--think French-cut chicken breast with basil-infused oil and lemon-Parmesan tilapia.
Dolls get their own "treat seat" (aka highchair) at the table.

A once in a lifetime experience both at the breakfast and the Holiday Musical.

The Musical was a treat for our ten-year old and the girls took time to sign autographs to make it personal. We have awesome pictures and a memory to last a...

I got into American girl dolls when I was seven years old and was finally able to visit the American Girl Place when I was 20. I had a blast! Yes it was crowded and yes the cafe was pricey, but it was a lot of fun to just look around at all the things they have to offer. As long as you are familiar with the merchandise, youwon't suffer from such sticker shock when you see the price of some of...

This store is a dreamland for a little girl. The shopping is wonderful and we had a blast. The only drawback was in the restaurant. Some of the food wasn't kid friendly and a bit fancy for our daughter. We had a great time shopping and the play was awesome!!
