Boyd's Bears

boyds Photo - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Right off the main strip is the "biggest barn you have ever seen!!” And it is!!!! It is filled with Boyd's products, and it has two special areas. One is nursery where you can adopt your own baby bear or hare, complete with bassinets, nurses, and an ample choice of available accessories. The second is the build-your-own-bear area, where you pick out an animal, not only bears, but dogs, cats, pigs, and a moose; choose the color pellets you want (all have a special meaning (i.e. red for love)); and then fill it. They sewed it up, creating a belly button. You get a barn box for transport, and voila, for just 19.99, you have a fun time for a child!!!! (Of course, there are lots of additional items.) The store is filled with Boyd's items, and of all the things in the Gatlinburg area, I would put this on the don't-miss list. The lower level even has a food court, which had very good food!!!
