Welcome to the enchanting world of The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, where love is woven into every stitch. Your tour begins in the Bear-racks, where you'll be greeted by a large collection of Vermont Teddy Bear animals and learn about the history of the company.
Next, you’ll move on to the bustling assembly line, where each bear is carefully crafted. Watch as the fur is cut and stitched together with precision. The heads and limbs are stuffed with recycled plastic water bottles, giving each bear its perfect cuddly feel. See how the sewers add eyes and noses, giving every bear its own unique expression.
As the tour continues, you'll discover the wide range of creatures designed right here at Vermont Teddy Bear.
The tour concludes at the famous Vermont Teddy Bear Hospital, where your beloved stuffed animal can receive care if ever needed. All bears are guaranteed for life and are treated by Dr. Pam. When a bear arrives at the hospital, Dr. Pam begins by triaging it using an admitting form that includes important details such as the bear’s name, age, fur color, known allergies (many bears come in with peanut allergies!), and permission for surgery.
It’s an unforgettable experience that showcases the craftsmanship, care, and heart that make Vermont Teddy Bear so special.
