American Girl Place

Pros: Incredible store filled with amazing items!
Cons: You can't walk out of this store with just one item! :)

If you have a daughter, chances are you have gotten the American Girl catalog in the mail. I know t ...

Pros: FUN and EXCITING
Cons: How do you chose what to buy?

Any girl no matter how old you are has longingly looked at catalogs with their favorite dolls and accessories wishing they could have them. This is a reality when you visit the American Girl Place in Chicago. The American Girl Catalog with all of its...

Pros: Fun
Cons: Weirdly excessive. Little Stepford girls dressed like their dolls.

The stupid rich. That's what a wise friend calls anyone who shops from catalogs like Hammacher Schlemmer and Frontgate. Poor folks can't afford the stuff, and smart folks know it's overpriced junk. When my daughter and I left American Girl ...

Pros: Excellent service staff, clean, FUN!
Cons: Costly.

Luckily, my daughter has my mom… she loves spending money on her granddaughter. And I mean ridiculous money. But in the case of American Girl Place, it was money well spent. It begins harmlessly enough… by around my daughter’s 5th ...

Pros: It's every little doll loving girls dream.
Cons: It can be your wallets worst nightmare!!

I had never heard of American Girl until around the time my little girl turned seven, the 'American Girl' catalog started showing up in our mailbox. I'm not for sure how this happened. It just seemed to appear. Once my wife and daughter saw the catalog ...

Pros: -Quality products that are original
Cons: -Products are very expensive-my only complaint.

The American Girl Place-every girl's dream. I'm writing a review to tell you my favorite parts about American Girl Place, from a kids' point of view. I'm 12 years old, soon to be 13, and mostly people associate dolls with younger girls, up to 11, ...

Pros: Lots of fun, great staff, good food and great entertainment at the Revue.
Cons: Nothing

I took my granddaughter to American Girl Place, NY, for her 10th birthday. It was a surprise trip for her. As we live in California, it was an adventure she will always remember. We purchased a package from American Girl that included lunch in the ...

Pros: Nowhere better to make a little girl feel special
Cons: Expensive and hard to avoid overspending

We visited the Chicago location in January for my daughter's sixth birthday, just a special mommy/daughter day for the two of us. Our agenda was to buy a Bitty Baby for her and to have lunch in the restaurant. We couldn't have been more pleased with ...

Pros: Organized, clean
Cons: Expensive!, can be very crowded especially during school holidays

There are a couple of American Girl Place locations, and I've only been to the one in New York City - so my review will be based on that one location only. Overall, I must admit, it is a nice place - clean, organized, and pleasant to walk through. It ...

Pros: Fun, clean, includes a restaurant and theater, located right in downtown Chicago
Cons: Expensive!!!!! My younger sister can never buy just ONE item. Hard to park.

The American Girl Doll store is extremely expensive, let me just say. If you aren't willing to spend a lot of money in the near future, it's probably best not to show your daughter this store, website or catalogue. However, if you choose to, it is a lot ...

Pros: Good food, great play, fun stores, educational books that correspond to each of the dolls.
Cons: Pricey - it cost me $500 for the day. Crowded on weekends

My daughter asked for an American Girl Doll for her 7th birthday. She decided to save her birthday money and purchase the doll at American Girl Place (AGP). We took the train into Manhattan from Connecticut. I researched AGP online. Basically, they ...

Pros: A little girl's dream destination. Located in Chicago (a mom's dream destination!)
Cons: Needs reservations. Can have lines down the sidewalks on the weekends.

The first time I went to The American Girl Place it was shortly after it opened. I took my son (yeah ... he was forced) along with my husband to pick up a doll and some outfits for my daughter. The store/theater/museum/restaurant/photography studio is...

Pros: Lots of fun, visually appealing, a very special treat for your daughter.
Cons: Crowds, you'll definitely want to buy everything.

Despite the across-the-board discouragement of pretty much everyone (she's too young!) I brought my soon-to-be two year old to American Girl Place for her birthday today. Even though we were unable to partake in many of the activities because of her age ...

Pros: Fun and cute
Cons: expensive

This is a really fun place to go if you are in NYC, but be prepared to leave with a lot less money than you walked in with! If you want to eat in the cafe, make a reservation well in advance. The food is tasty and not really too overpriced. Lunch, tea ...
