American Girl Place

I want to take my 4 yr old twins for the first time this summer. I have a few questions-
as for the restaurant, is the afternoon tea cute? Really don't want to spend money for the lunch or dinner because my girls barely eat. The tea is cheaper.
I also want to make an appointment for the girls to have their dolls hair done & ears pierced. Do the kids get to watch while they do this?
I just want to make it a special "girls day", just the 3 of us. My older 2 are boys so I have no experience with this! TIA!

I’ve never done the afternoon tea, but we did the brunch recently and the food was really good and they accommodated all of the girls pickiness (we went with friends).

The girls can watch when their dolls get their hair done. Not sure if it has changed since the store changed locations, but at the original location, they took the doll in the back to pierce her ears, so we didn’t get to watch that part. They were only gone for a minute or two.

The tea is good. I would book a personal shopper if you can. Just email them. It's free, and you usually get a little gift. They also can check you out in their area, which avoids long lines.
