I am overjoyed to share my delightful experience at World of Bears, a true treasure in the heart of Taunton. My latest visit has only deepened my affection for this special place, as I found the perfect new member to add to my Charlie Bear collection—a charming bear named "Rachel".
The moment you walk through the doors of World of Bears, you're transported into a realm where every shelf and corner is brimming with character and charm. The array of bears and plush friends is simply astounding, offering something for collectors and children alike. But it's not just the quantity that impresses; it's the quality and variety, each bear with its unique personality waiting to be cherished.
The staff's knowledge and passion for their furry residents shine through in their service. They understand what each bear means to a collector, and the joy a plush companion can bring to someone's life. It was this understanding that made my purchase of Rachel feel all the more special. She wasn't just another bear to add to the collection; she was a character full of stories, handpicked for me.

Their dedication to providing not just a product, but an experience, is what makes them a five-star establishment in my book.

In truth I didn’t expect a different response but I think a lot can be done in the delivery. I did return the unwanted bear but no hurry was taken at all to process the return - which I had to chase. The quality of the bears is beautiful and the boys adored them and delivery was quick but I’m not impressed by...
