Our name, Henry Bear’s Park, comes from a children’s book by David McPhail, published in March of 1976, the same month that our first store opened on Huron Ave in Cambridge. Since then, Henry Bear has become a favorite “go to” spot for Boston area families. With tremendous support from talented and dedicated staff, Henry Bear’s Park has earned a reputation (and several Best of Boston awards) for a great selection of children’s products and an exceptionally welcoming store environment. In 2002, Henry Bear also found a home in Arlington Center, and in 2004 in Brookline Village; in 2009, our Cambridge store moved over to a new spot in the Porter Square Shopping Center.
