Last Updated on February 26, 2026 by Kimberly Stroh

Do you want to build a dino? If you’re heading to Walt Disney World with a little dinosaur lover, you’ll definitely want to add the Build-A-Dino Workshop to your Disney Springs plans. Created by the makers of Build-A-Bear, this interactive experience lets kids create their very own prehistoric pal from start to finish.

You’ll find the workshop inside the T-REX Cafe in The Landing at Disney Springs, making it easy to pair your dino-building adventure with a meal surrounded by life-sized dinosaurs and a prehistoric atmosphere. It’s hands-on, creative, and such a fun souvenir that goes beyond the typical theme park gift. Here’s everything you need to know before you go and what to expect from the experience!

What Is The Build A Dino Experience at Disney Springs?

If your kid lights up at the sight of dinosaurs, this is their moment. Build-A-Dino is a hands-on, interactive experience where children create their very own stuffed dinosaur from start to finish. It’s run by the makers of Build-A-Bear Workshop.

While the Build A Dino experience is located inside the T. rex Cafe, you don’t have to dine at the restaurant. You can just go into the gift shop portion of the restaurant and head straight to Build A Dino. Since it’s located inside the restaurant, meal times make Build A Dino more crowded. Go during non-peak mealtime hours.

Build Right There Or Take It Home

The first step of Build A Dino is picking the stuffed dinosaur you’d like to purchase. If they have a long line or your little dinosaur fan isn’t on the trip with you, one option is to bring your dinosaur home. You can stuff them at any Build-A-Bear location nationwide. Pro Tip: They also have a few non-dinosaur choices.

Build A Dino Workshop Prices at Disney Springs

Depending on what style you pick, that determines the cost of your Build A Dino. The prices range from $22-$35 for a dinosaur. The entire experience includes: stuffing, the wash station, and a birth certificate. What’s NOT INCLUDED, and oftentimes racks up the entire cost, is the cost of clothing or accessories. Pro Tip: avoid the clothes and accessories to save money.

Best Kids Age Group For Build A Dino Workshop

You might be wondering if your child is old enough (or too old) for Build A Dino Workshop at Disney Springs. With a little help from parents, toddlers enjoy the experience. Preschoolers and younger grade school-age children are perfect for Build A Dino. I think they enjoy it the most. 

Coupon Limitations & Gift Cards

Both Disney gift cards and Build-A-Bear gift cards are accepted at Build A Dino. However, check the fine print on any Build-A-Bear Workshop coupon. Many times, those offers are excluded from the store.

What Else Is Available At the TREX Cafe Disney Springs Gift Shop

After you’re done with Build A Dino, check out what else is available in the restaurant gift shop. They have toys, clothing, games, puzzles, and anything else you can imagine for dinosaur fans! It’s truly a one-stop shop for anyone who loves dinosaurs.
