At American Girl, they celebrate girls and all that they can be. That's why they've developed products and experiences that help girls grow up in a wholesome way, while encouraging them to enjoy girlhood through fun and enchanting play. Their historical characters inhabit stories set during important times in America’s past; their contemporary Girl of the Year® stories explore issues of today. Both show girls that they can do great things if they believe in themselves. At the American Girl stores, girls ages 3 and up can explore the shops filled with dolls & accessories, browse their award-winning library of books, enjoy a delicious meal in the on-site restaurant, and treat their doll to a new look in the Doll Hair Salon. But there’s so much more—exciting programs and special events for girls are also held throughout the year.
