American Girl- Boston

[ProudMommyof2]

Has anyone been to this new American Girl Place? What did you think? Any Pics?

No pics, but we went on opening day. It was crowded, but not as bad as it could have been. It is two floors and you can not get into it from the actual mall. You have to walk outside to get to it. The first floor is full of the historical characters on the right, the girl of the year on the left, and the bitty baby and twins in the back. The second floor has the doll hair salon and the JLY dolls. The Bistro is also on the second floor. We did not hang out long enough for the hair salon or meal, as my DD(4) and I made the mistake of dragging my DH along! My main goal was to see if I could stock up on some of the items for Samantha, and maybe pick up a couple of Christmas gifts...I ended up walking out with the biggest bag they have and $680 in stuff-for DD4 & DD7...Needless to say this is about all they are getting. We had a good time, but I felt like all of the dolls and accessories were kid of in no particular order, so I had to look around to find the pieces I wanted. I have only been into NYC store and did the quick shop there too. Someday I would like to take the girls for a whole day and actually do some of the activities.

We've been to the NYC and the Atlanta store. The Natick store is much larger than Atlanta. We went 11/1 and it was crowded, but fun. We got a free poster. My DD7 did the craft and we had Mia's hair done. AG is now offering ear piercing for the dolls and lots of people were having that done. I'd called 2 weeks before but reservations were booked for lunch. You can sit at the counter and order dessert without reservations. We've eaten lunch at the other stores and it is fun with the little doll chairs- my DD really loves that. The food was surprisingly edible. Sorry, no pics!

Haven't been yet but hope the store won't suffer as now the business that owns the mall (and Faneuil Hall in Boston) is filing for Bankruptcy!

I'm confused - is the store in Boston or Natick, or both?
