Experience hands-on fun at Crayola Experience

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 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.  NJMOM Tip: Don’t miss Model Magic Movie Studios, where kids create their own Model Magic character before watching it appear in a personalized animated movie on screen. It’s one of the newest interactive experiences and quickly becomes a family favorite.
