There was a line to get in but after the wait the store still had inventory of dolls and doll clothes. They were out of one outfit but was able to order it online.

Very inviting environment, staff was very friendly. I do say make sure when getting a hair style that they can do the exact hair you want. My daughter picked curls and they didnt tell us until after that she couldnt do the curls just the braid, although we were charged FULL price for half the hair do... Other than that it was a successful trip.

This is a candy store for those of us that love AG dolls, furniture and accessories. Im an adult collector, I always spend at least 2 hours in here each time. Its such a dilemma of what to buy next. Im super glad Im only 2 1/2 hours to the big Seattle store. Everybody is super helpful and friendly.I took my Nanea in for eye replacement, and they put this cute pink hospital gown on my doll. And treated her gently to be mailed in.My ONLY complaint is that the employees at the register always forget to ask if I have a rewards account (and if Im chatting I forget too), then Im halfway home, too far away to turn around, before I realize my purchase didnt get credited to my rewards account. When I purchased Nanea last fall at this store I was not told there was a rewards program.So my suggestion would be to have a small sign at each register so that guests and store employees remember to ask about the purchase going towards their reward account.The store also has the historical mystery books on sale for $1.00! While supplies last, what better summer reading than more about favorite AG dolls?

Very very Humiliating experience,, No Brown or black people allowed. The store employees follow brown and black people all through the store and keep staring at you... Avoid this store if you want to keep your self respect

Employees are very helpful and willing to let kids explore and play. They even hand out free stickers. Prices are really high, but its less about the dolls and more about the experience. They have a doll hair salon, a private party space, and a bistro for kids to eat with their dolls.

I am very grateful to have the Lynnwood American Girl (AG) store nearby. Growing up as an AG doll collector in Hawaii, I would flip through catalogs and long for a store close to me. The AG company itself has always been in a class all its own. Its refined dolls, well-made accessories and superb products endure the years, making them well worth the pretty penny you pay for them.I came in with the realistic expectation that the Lynnwood location is not as grand as, lets say, the flagship Chicago store where Ive been before. Its quiet, but super cute with the potential to grow and improve. Alderwood is a great mall (my favorite in the Seattle area) and the store is well organized, neat and clean. Its big enough and complete with the doll hair salon, which I have used twice so far.Sabrina is wonderful to work with and the only person at this store that I trust my dolls hair with. She strikes the perfect balance of being both friendly and professional, while also being well versed in hairstyling. Be sure to request her. She did a fine job on my Molly, Addy and Samantha dolls hair. I get so many compliments on Addys braids in particular, which I am in LOVE with! Please see the attached photo of her awesome work. :)My dolls are a highly personal and expensive investment. Yours are, too.WARNING: You must protect them from certain associates here who are not well trained. I did not appreciate watching McKenzie pull roughly on Samanthas (my vintage doll from the 90s) hair and DRENCHING her precious locks in an excessive amount of water while running around to deal with other customers when she was supposed to be focusing on Samanthas hair during our appointment!!! I felt alarms going off in my body as she carelessly did so and immediately notified a nearby associate to call Jen, the manager. They took my contact information and Jen called me by the end of the day to reschedule Samanthas hair appointment with Sabrina instead. I appreciate that Jen offered to take care of Samanthas hair for free due to the inconvenience and horrible experience poor Samantha endured. Jen was very nice, easy to talk to and genuinely apologetic. I am glad she was available to smooth things over.Another associate, Julia, was rude and unwilling to engage with me. I thought her unenthusiastic, poor attitude was very unacceptable and not up to American Girl company standards.Just be careful here and protect your precious AG dollies. You will be sure to find joy at the Lynnwood American Girl store with the right staff members! :)

I loved my whole experience in the store and over the phone! The staff goes over and beyond for the Kids especially when admitting a doll to the doll hospital. We sent my daughters bitty baby into the doll hospital and they took good care of her and fixed her exactly how we wanted her fixed! The only drawback was it took almost a month to get the doll back and was a long month in my house. My daughter has been sleeping with her bitty baby since she was one years old so this was a hard thing for my daughter! I couldnt be happier with American girl! Now that my daughter got her Bitty Baby fixed she wants to send her American Girl Rebecca in to the hair salon in the store to get her hair done.

Ive always loved American Girl doll store. I grew up looking at the magazines and circling everything. Now that Im older, I really appreciate the value of the dolls and the things they help teach and inspire the girls with. Ive now bought all three of my little sisters their own doll. Its a wonderful tradition to start, no matter how old you are. ❤

Review №23

Pricey - but makes little girls (and older Women) happy :)American girl is pricey. There are cheaper dolls out there. But they have a HUGE selection of dolls, matching dresses / accessories, and back stories for each doll. Also a fair mix of races / nationalities as well. If you want to spoil (in the good way) a little girl its worth going here.Plan to spend $150-200 to get a doll and full dress set

My family and I lived in Vancouver, BC, Canada for 37 years. During that time, we spent many happy trips going to Seattle. Of course, we would make a special stop at American Girl in the Alderwood Mall. We purchased Molly there, just before she was archived, and we purchased many outfits for her and our Rebecca doll. Now, we live in eastern Canada and have since added Isabelle (2014 GOTY) and Maryellen to our collection. But we still miss the great AG store in the Alderwood Mall.

The dolls tasted awful, terrible service. when I asked for a menu they gave me a doll with the name menu. not impressed. I tried chewing on the dolls hair and licking the eyeballs, but I have to say it was quite rough and I didnt enjoy the texture of the doll. work on the seasoning. overall my favorite meal was the stuffing of the dolls head- I reccomend that if you get anything.

We took our daughter her for her birthday. The store was fully stocked, lots of displays oh all the dolls. Staff was friendly.If youve been to American Girl before theres no need to warn of prices. However, if you have not, come with at least $200.We went to the bistro for lunch. It was just the 4 of us and we got the lowest level birthday package. It came out to $100 for a couple burgers and pasta. There was a little cake and ice cream. The food was pretty bad. The quality did not match the price. The only thing that made it worth it, was my daughter was super happy.If you dont own a doll, the bistro will lend one to you as well.

I visited this store last March for my birthday along with two of my friends. It was awesome! I got one of my dolls ears pierced, and we ate in the bistro. I even bought a doll, MAG 37! The only thing that sort of sucked was that I ended up having three dolls to carry around. I had my look-alike, MAG 25 (who got her ears pierced), and the doll I bought. The food was great, along with the desserts! The service was great! The bistro was beautiful! I wish that there werent those big windows, people kept staring at us.Overall, this was an awesome experience! I got to share it with my two best friends.

Having four daughters theres nothing better than a visit to the American Girl Doll store. This one has a cafe, a lot of retail floor space, interactive displays & a helpful staff. High marks for a destination visit to Alderwood Mall to stop in & spend some time with your daughter($) there.

Went to the store this morning. Spent over $400 in dolls and accessories. Tried to eat at the Bistro but they didnt open until 11:30 this morning. No big deal... Wed go to our doctor appointment and return for a late lunch.Just left the AG store (2:50pm). The Bistro had 2 customers in it and the lady working refused additional customers. She said she was the only one working as the other lady had to go pick her sick kid up from school. That she was only honoring people who already had existing reservations.What a great way to treat customers....

The customer service phone line needs a lot of help. Not only they cannot help (doll appointments, hold a paid order at store pickup) but when they tell you information on the above subjects they are wrong. Either they need more training or their management needs it

It was fun shopping & decorating for a mini Tieg, for my Tieg. It made the experience more meaningful and special and I think she feels/felt the same way, I think because of it she will treat her Samantha really well and respectfully. I think I had as much fun picking her out as my daughter did! The ear piercing, the hairstyles, the outfits, Glasses, shoes, the endless accessories! A great fun must have vacation date for any mother & daughter who live in a town or city that do not have one of these stores.

Ok so I only had an American dollars years ago that my grandma gave me, and I never even knew this type of thing existed for them! (Probably my parents doing). I went in, and its very expensive (its American girl though...) And it was so cool. They have a doctor, a hair stylist, and a bistro. Super cool. If I was 8 again. I would be going crazy.

My twin daughters each received an AG doll for Christmas last year. I then took both my girls to the store a month later to get new outfits for their dolls. My daughters had the time of their lives and the staff was friendly and attentive to me and my daughters. It is a dreamland for little girls.

We brought my daughters AG (Madame Alexander) doll in for a makeover: hair, nails, earrings, one outfit, and an accessory. The staff was considerate and never mentioned that the doll was not an AG. At first we were both a tad overwhelmed by all the possibilities. The staff guided us all the way. Unfortunately, the outfit my daughter wanted was only available with a new doll, which was disappointing. However the staff helped us put something together that my daughter was really happy with. While the prices are quite high for doll clothes and accessories, the experience we had and the joy my daughter felt when she got Rose back was totally worth it. I think this is something we could do a couple times a year.

I would of given 5 stars because all associates were very welcoming, helpful and the store is easy to browse and shop but once I purchased my items, Kaya’s saddle for horse steps high and a two doll bag carrier the excellent service I had received fizzled. I wasn’t asked if I needed a gift receipt. I didn’t remember until after the transaction. My items were placed in a bag. I asked if I could have a box to wrap the doll bag. I was told the boxes were only for the clothes but she would give me tissue. I noticed the customer next to me was getting her items wrapped in tissue with a star sticker so I aske for the sticker she went in a drawer and got a sticker then asked if I needed a birthday sticker too. Upon leaving I met up with my friend who was still getting her items checked out. The young lady checker her out, Carie?, I think and I hope she doesn’t get back lash, gave me a box! She is why I will travel up from Normandy Park to shop at this store again. Genuine brick and mortar customer service from entering to leaving!

Its an adorable store and an amazing concept. I can only imagine the market type that this appeals to and keeps it in business. Unfortunately its not for me, and I go there periodically because my little girl wants to look at dolls. Its not that its bad or anyting, just a little bit out of my price range. Everything does look well made and well-constructed, they also have a full-fledged salon for your doll! So if your doll needs a haircut or needs to be mani pedid, they can hook you up.

This is such a cute place to bring little girls. My daughter and niece loved it! Both the bistro and the store. The bistro allows you to borrow a doll if you dont have one. Theyre freakin expensive if you are looking to buy (at least $100!) and that doesnt include the extrad accessories and clothing. The food was decent, but a little overpriced for the quality. Service was wonderful though! The girls loved being able to eat with dolls at the table, but it was a pain trying to leave without a doll...
