Experience hands-on fun

Kids of all ages can get in on the fun of The Crayola Experience, which features 30 unique and inspiring interactive attractions geared to bringing out a kid’s creative side. Step up to their newest attraction, Cartoon Creator, where the CrayolaBot sketches them into a cartoon before they color themselves and become the heroes of their own story. Kids will sharpen their problem-solving skills in the Adventure Lab, embarking on colorful challenges using a “magic” tablet. Make sure you stop by Water Works afterward, where you can maneuver and splash your boat through the 85-foot water table attraction. There’s also Wrap It Up, where kids can personalize and print an authentic crayon label and wrap it around their chosen color. At Toddler Town, little ones play with a multi-colored board that lights up or make their way across a climber that is their size or Silly Selfies, which is an interactive room where kids can create selfies and project them onto the wall and become part of an enormous scene before touching their selfie to animate it. Make sure to spend time at the indoor Color Playground, where littles can go wild in a self-contained area with lots of crayon-themed equipment. Go bouncing and splatting across the paint bridge, wiggle up the melted wax tower, squeeze through multiple obstacles, slide out of the crayon box, and play around in the brightly hued zone.

Fuel up your imagination (and belly)

All of the fun and imagination can work up an appetite, and The Crayola Experience offers a few options for a quick bite or treat (no outside food is allowed). At Cafe Crayola, your family can sit and enjoy kid-friendly foods like pizza and other delicious foods. While you’re there, make sure you visit the World’s Largest Crayon, which is located in the cafe seating area. At the Snack Shake, you can stop for a grab-and-go snack or beverage while on the move. Looking for something sweet? The Ice Cream Corner is filled with frozen sweet treats for you to indulge in.

Watch out for special events

Make The Crayola Experience even more unique when you attend one of their frequent events. Some events last a few weeks, while others are scheduled for a specific day, so check out the event calendar before buying your ticket. Some of the events include a craft that has a different theme for a few weeks, like a Rockstar Craft Theme or Jungle Trek Craft Theme, and Toddler Tuesday, where there will be seasonal crafts, a meet and greet with Tip the Crayon, toddler-friendly attractions, and more just for the little ones in your family.
