UPDATE: Massive line at Tucson Mall as Build-a-Bear's 'Pay Your Age' promotion goes bonkers

If you're in need of something cheap and air conditioned to do with the kids, you might want to visit Build-a-Bear Workshop.

On Thursday, July 12, Build-a-Bear is offering a "pay-your-age" deal. That means you only have to pay $2 for your two-year-old's custom stuffed animal.

Just be aware that the deal is only valid for the animal itself. Accessories and other goodies are sold separately. The deal is valid for one animal per guest and you have to spend at least $1.

Those interested in the deal have to be members of the Build-a-Bear bonus club. But have no fear — the program is free and only requires an email to sign up. You must be 18 or over to sign up and must be present at pay-your-age day. Also, the child (or adult!) whose age you're using to get the deal must be present.

Build-a-Bear has one location in Tucson. The shop is inside Tucson Mall, 4500 N. Oracle Rd.
