Crayola Experience is an interactive visitor attraction that opened in Easton, Pennsylvania in July 1996. It was founded by the major international crayon maker Crayola LLC, which was founded as the Binney & Smith Company in 1885. In the 1990s, the city of Easton reached out to Crayola with an offer to open a small storefront. The city hoped that the store would help to revitalize the downtown area. Originally opened as "The Crayola Factory", the store morphed into a much larger interactive experience and rebranded under its current name in 2013. The colorful family attraction features over 20 hands-on experiences for visitors, such as naming your own crayon, melting wax souvenirs, and starring in a coloring page. Beginning in 2015, Crayola began to open additional Crayola Experience attractions around the United States, including locations at the Florida Mall (Orlando, FL) and the Mall of America (Bloomington, MN). Two additional locations also opened in Texas and Arizona, but they have since closed. My family and I recently visited the original Crayola Experience in Easton while we were visiting our cousins in Pennsylvania. The flagship location is HUGE; it has four floors of interactive attractions. Our two sons had a blast molding race cars from broken crayon bits, making wax art, naming their own crayons, and plenty of other colorful activities. They especially loved exploring the color playgrounds! We spent approximately 3 hours at the attraction. Afterwards, we explored the gift shop where my wife and I picked out some nice big coloring books for our sons. We also liked seeing all of the various crayon colors that Crayola produces; it was pretty impressive. Overall, we had a fun visit at the Crayola Experience and recommend it to any families visiting Easton! read more

I visited Crayola Experience with my three kids, and overall it was a fun day with plenty to do for different ages and interests. One of my children loves drawing and coloring, so the hands-on art activities were a huge hit, especially the FIFA World Cup-themed coloring stations. Another child was happiest running, climbing, and exploring the two indoor playgrounds filled with slides and tunnels. My oldest enjoys creating and building things, and he loved making creatures with playdough and using technology to bring them to life. His favorite attraction was the Crayola robotics experience that turned his photo into a caricature with a variety of fun backgrounds. The biggest downside was the crowds. We visited during summer camp season, and some lines were around 40 minutes long. Thankfully, things improved dramatically after about 2:30 p.m., when many of the camp groups left and most attractions became much easier to access. Another drawback was the food pricing. Feeding three kids quickly became very expensive. A small order of French fries was $4.99, a hot dog was $8.99, and a tiny pizza--about the size of a single regular pizza slice--was also $8.99. The food felt significantly overpriced for the portion sizes. Overall, Crayola Experience offers a great variety of creative and active attractions that kept all three of my kids entertained, but I would recommend arriving later in the day if possible and planning ahead for food costs. read more

Today, we celebrated our son's birthday at the Crayola Experience, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the organizer Kerstin to the host and the entire team, the whole experience was fantastic. My child and his friends had a blast! Thank you so much for making this day so special and perfect. Top notch! read more

Went to the Crayola Experience on a rainy day, and I'd definitely recommend getting there early, the line can easily be out the door. Right from the start, the experience was a bit mixed. The cashier we had wasn't very helpful and seemed more focused on rushing us through than answering any questions, which wasn't the best first impression. Once you get inside, it's honestly a bit of a free for all, almost like Hunger Games style. Lines were long everywhere, with everyone trying to get through activities like naming your own crayon, molding cars or rings, and other stations. It felt pretty unorganized. Some areas could definitely use more attention. The clay molding section was a complete mess, and the playground area with the slides and jungle gym was pretty chaotic. One activity I'd honestly skip is the drawing-to-puzzle station, people were cutting the line and bringing stacks of drawings. No one really needs 10 puzzles of their kid's artwork... two is plenty. That said, it's still a fun experience for kids and something different to do, especially on a rainy day. Overall, I'd say it's a good one time visit... read more

It had been so long since I had been here. We went on bring a friend weekend since we have family that are members. I would say one thing right off the bat I didn't like is that there are no automatic doors and the doors are heavy to whether which makes it really hard if you have a stroller or wheelchair. Was really shocked by this. Then, you can't bring any outside food and drink which I think is silly considering you have toddlers who snack nonstop and need water. Everything else though is really adorable and there is enough to do for a variety of age groups. Staff is friendly. Was a fun experience. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect based on past reviews. But I was pleasantly surprised this little town is so cute and there were so much fun stuff to do. If my nephew had been older we could've probably spent the whole entire day there. Some of the activities look so fun. I wanted to try them myself! Even though it was busy with lots of people, their management and system of helping customers kept things running smoothly with virtually no wait time! There was a few activities that were for ages six and up so I couldn't do them with my nephew which warrant and another visit when he's a little older! read more

We went to the Crayola Experience in Easton on a rainy Saturday with my two daughters and four grandkids ranging from 8 months to 4 years old, and it was honestly a terrible experience. I understand that going on a weekend with bad weather probably contributed to how crowded it was since many families were likely looking for indoor activities, but that's still no excuse for how poorly things were managed. The place was completely overcrowded and there were barely any employees around to help manage anything. Most of the activities had ridiculously long lines, so we only got to do a couple of things before the kids got frustrated and tired. To make matters worse, the upstairs bathroom was disgusting. One of the toilets was clogged with feces floating in it, which is unacceptable for a place that caters to young children and families. At the end of our visit, my daughter wanted to make a point of telling them about all of the problems we experienced, so she asked to speak with customer service. The man we spoke to, whose role we weren't even sure of, simply said he was sorry to hear that and offered no real help or concern. For the amount of money they charge, they seriously need to limit the number of tickets they sell. They act like they manage capacity, but there's no way they do. Spending $140 for this experience felt like a complete waste of time and money. We definitely won't be coming back. read more

Spent 5 hours and had a great time. Any age will enjoy this experience. 4 floors of fun. There is a food court with lots of kid choices. I was with my grandkids ages 8, 3, and 1. I also had my 14 yr old son and he enjoyed it too. We definitely recommend it. read more

Took advantage of Crayola's "preschool days" that run from Jan 27- Feb 28 and allow FREE weekday entry for kids age 3 & 4 and took my 4 year old to have some fun. Upon arrival there was no specific parking lot for Crayola so we had to park in an open air parking lot nearby for $10 (cash only). Once inside we got a FREE annual pass for my husband who is military (active and veterans included in this offer). We got my toddler in for free and only I paid. It's about $26 per person that we saved, so it does make a difference. The experience itself is 4 floors! There is something for everyone in each floor. I did appreciate the toddler playground and the kid playground and the amount of things to do. We made a crayola crayon with our names on it, which was pretty cool. My daughter also got some free scribble toys to draw on and we all got free gummies for the month of love (February). There were a lot of interactive stations and lots of drawing/coloring opportunities! We went on a Thursday at 1pm and stayed until closing time at 5pm and wasn't able to do everything so that'll tell you how much there is to do there. Overall, I think it's a great place to keep your kids busy but definitely a space for kids 10 and under. We saw the teenagers sitting around and not really entertained. I do think the annual pass is the way to go if you live nearby as it does come with 20% off goodies and even birthday parties plus it's not that much more than the entrance fee. It was a great time had, thanks Crayola! read more

Crayola + Kids??? You really cannot go wrong here. This was a verrrry, verrrrrrrry fun experience for our kids. Yes, the Crayola Experience building doesn't really look huge on the outside...and it isn't, but don't underestimate the tons of fun, games and interactive activities packed into the 4 floors here. We came by on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend at about 10:30 AM (they operate from 10 AM - 6 PM on Saturdays) and luckily got the last parking spot at the South Third Street Parking Lot. For first-timers wondering about parking, unfortunately, the Crayola Experience does not have a private lot, but there is metered street parking right outside of the Crayola Experience. However, the meters right outside are up to 2 hours only, but, I assume you can probably keep refilling the meter with an app - although I couldn't see if or what app was associated with those parking spots. Anyhow, for the South Third Street Parking Lot, which is a short 1.5 blocks away, the meters are up to 4 hours ($1 per hour) and I can attest to the fact that you can refill it, via the ParkMobile app, as many times as you want, only after the time expires. So, for those needing more than 4 hours at the Crayola Experience, which I assume is most visitors, this is your best bet. Once we got into the building, we had to wait on the line like everyone else, even though we pre-purchased online tickets, but the wait was relatively short. Once through, that's it, your kids are ready to have a BLAST. Like I said, there are 4 floors to the building, with the Crayola Cafe located on the 1st. My recommendation to experiences like this is to tackle it at the top and work your way down, but COMPLETELY up to you. Each floor has its own activities, which comprise of art activities (e.g. ring or racecar molding, paint art, coloring printouts with crayons), an indoor playground, robot-driven drawings of your face, cartoon printouts of you, being able to name your own crayon, watching a live show about the crayon making process, collect "passport" stamps of different crayon colors in a passport booklet, etc. There is absolutely LOTS to do here and, if it's your first time, you'll easily be here for 4-5 hours. As for food you might ask because obviously your kids have to eat at some point - so they don't let you bring food in, although the bag checking process is quite minimal so you can try to bring food or snacks at your own risk. With that said, the area is packed with restaurants including the Easton Public Market, which is right across the street. And, best of all, they allow for re-entry as long as you get a stamp on your hand. We ended up just dining in the Crayola Cafe though for convenience, which as you would expect serves your typical fast foods - pizza, burgers, fries, tenders, etc. It wasn't terrible, but it's not great either. After we had left the building, we actually walked through the Easton Public Market and I so regretted not trying the vendors there because the food looked so much better (e.g. ramen, BBQ, pizza, etc.). Anyhow, the Crayola Experience was WELL WORTH the 1 hour drive and price of admission for us. You only need 1 day to visit and see and do everything and our kids really enjoyed their time here. It's no amusement park, but there's plenty of fun packed into this building. read more

I have been here twice because I have a membership. Definitely look for those holiday deals to make your monies worth. I was able to snag a 2 year membership for 39.99 during a Black Friday deal. I'm not sure if that's the best deal, but I thought that was a good deal since most memberships are generally only 1 year. I personally wouldn't dine here. Did it the first time around and there was nobody in front of me yet the food took a LONG time to come. I would suggest dining outside, as there are many good food options within walking distance. My kids LOVE this place and ask to come back as soon as the following day. There's many activities for the kiddos, like melting crayon to make spinning art, a ring, and a sports car. There's other arts and craft with crayons and markers. There's also an indoor playground which seems pretty packed but fun. Also you can create your own crayon and put any words or your own name on the crayon label. Nice way to personalize a crayon for keepsake or a small gift for a friend or family. Highly recommend if you have younger kids read more

Visited Crayola Experience on Friday for my kids birthdays and it was great! My kids birthday are 12 days apart and for the last few years I have done separate birthdays, so this year I decided that I wanted to do one big celebration at once lol. We drove up Thursday from MD and stayed at a nearby hotel which was an amazing stay! (I will also be doing a review for the hotel) I didn't have to worry about parking because we walked from the hotel which was only a 5min walk. There are so many interactive activities to do there. My daughter turned 10 and my son turned 5 and they're was plenty of activities for them both to enjoy together very engaging and fun. The place was clean they have plenty bathrooms and there's a cafe and different stations where food & snacks are available and also a gift shop. I purchased my tickets online and since my daughter birthday was on Monday it was free for her. This place is perfect for special or even regular occasion and there's plenty to do! read more

We went there yesterday for a rainy day activity, Never again! We were packed in like sardines, waited in 1/2 hour lines to make a crayon, another 1/2 hour to wrap a crayon in your kids name, Another 1/2 hour (with restless children to float a boat through water . Some exhibits were closed a full 1.5 hours prior to closing time, and other exhibits the lines were just to long to attempt. No where was to sit to do crafts, No paper out for the kids to color (they used the scraps other kids left behind) not enough paint supplies either. The restrooms were disgusting. I doubt any staff members cleaned it the entire day. My take on this is over priced, under staffed and ridiculously crowded (what is the occupancy maximum)? It'll never go back. read more

We went here on a Monday during my son's spring break with my sister, cousin, and their kids. The kids had a great time and we had fun watching them. Pros: -Fun interactive exhibits. -I feel the price is worth it, our kids had fun in each exhibit. We took home a lot that day between crayons we "named" and got to put the label on, modeling clay, a scrubbie buddy, various projects they completed while there, a molded race car crayon, etc. -Play structure for kids to let out their energy for a bit -A lot of places for parents to sit (provided it's not too crowded) while their kids explore and play. -I enjoyed the emphasis they put on retired colors, and the fact that you could label some of them, and all were available for purchase -Snacks for purchase were a better price than most places like this. -Most of the people working there were friendly and informative Cons -It does fill up quick and once there are crowds it feels overwhelming -An iPad room where kids can sit on iPads to play on crayola's free app. - it's nice to be introduced to the app but most parents bring kids to places like this to get them away from screens. The kids wanted to linger here for a bit and it felt like such a waste of time. My sister used to go to Crayola all the time with her eldest daughter and the room used to be a dark room where you explored shadow play and light/color in dark. These type of experiences and discovery are what we come to these places for, not an iPad and an app we can get at home. -The snack stand is in the middle of one of the busier rooms, and it doesn't lead to a place where you can sit and eat easily. We bought snacks and awkwardly ate them in the following exhibit. -Two of the associates we came across were a bit sarcastic and rude. Nothing major but it's disappointing especially in a place geared toward kids. However, most of the staff was great. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and I would definitely go back, but I'm also not counting down the days until our next visit. read more

A great place for the family. Interactive and hands on for the kids, activities and crafts around every turn, and a little something for everyone. Unlike other reviews, we did not encounter large crowds or absentee parenting to their kids. While some activities could have used another set of hands, everything was fine. I highly recommend. Take advantage of their teachers and military annual pass! read more

Skip the Crayola Experience if you have a stroller. They only have one elevator for the entire building and it was out of service, so we had to carry everything up the stairs. Having only one elevator is ridiculous for a place like this. Between the massive crowds and long lines, the kids were exhausted before we even did much. To make matters worse, the cafe charges $10 for a hot dog, which felt like total price gouging. We did not have a good time and deeply regret buying the two-year membership. It was a frustrating, expensive disappointment. read more

We loved coming here recommend during the week as I imagine the weekend too busy. They had lots of activities for toddlers. You could make crayon labels, crayon rings or cars, play area inside and meet a crayon figure we met Danny D. Highly recommend read more

That was an experience for sure. Unsure if we came on the wrong day and/or time, but there were so many lines and families for each station. It was super loud and crowded, and this for sure is not a place for people or kiddos who get overstimulated. A lot of the activities felt like things I would do with my kiddo at home like drawing, art spiral which is something he has at home, mold making, etc. My kiddo enjoyed it for sure as there was a big play area in the middle of the Crayola Experience and got to touch everything in sight. I felt it was quite underwhelming. Hoped to see how crayolas were made, or mix crayolas together to make a fun new Crayola. Highlight was able to get our own Crayola label but you need a token for that. Maybe I would go on a weekday morning. Metered street parking was accessible. read more

I finally visited the Crayola Factory!!! I've been meaning to make this trip for a few years. Last Friday I accompanied my son on his first grade school field trip here. I will say it was a fabulous field trip. (even though the bus trip for us was quite long.) The children had a fabulous time learning. They have a variety of different stations, where the kiddos do some fun stuff with crayons. We even went to a show that explained how the crayons are made. The children are encouraged to use their creativity. Of course my son's favorite spot was the gift shop! I must say the prices weren't that bad. If you are in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by. read more

I was really excited to visit this place and had high expectations of what it would be like but I was a little underwhelmed, I found it too expensive for what it is offered. Maybe if you live around the corner and you get the anual pass which isn't much more than a single visit it would be worth it, but in my opinion not worth a (3hr) trip just to come here. Needless to say, my toddlers had fun, but it just seemed like all the activities were more of the same (coloring at different tables on different floors). I get it, it's crayola and that's their product, but after a while it gets too repetitive, there is way more they can do! The place seemed a bit run down, dirty and not well kept, not a lot of staff around and the ones we interacted with weren't the friendliest. I just think this has so much potential, it could be amazing but unfortunately I didn't think it was. The highlight for us were the little boats you have to maneuver in the water area. We appreciated how interactive and hands on it was, and it was a nice change after all the drawing activities. I wish the presentation at the beginning where they show how crayolas are made would be more interactive and exciting. It was hard to see and follow for the kids. Glad we came once but definitely I won't be planing on coming back. read more

We came here closer to the late afternoon on a Saturday. There were less people and hence little to no lines for the very cool and interactive activities. We needed about 3 hours. The staff were almost all young students - very sweet and great in explaining each station. But overall, I felt completely lost on what to do, so here it is: They give each person two tokens and a card to exchange for a scrubbie animal. Use tokens for three optional things: 1) on the 2nd floor, create your own crayon wrapper for various colors and roll it on yourself. You can name the color and add a small design. 2) on the other side of the 2nd floor, go to the vending machine and select a packet color of dry clay. 3) go to a machine to receive one extra washable marker which can be used on your scrubbie pet. The scrubbie pet is on the same area as the vending machine with the packets of dry clay. You can color these pets and then wash, dry and start over again. There are also many stations to do included activities. On the lower part of the second floor they have stations where you can get a photo/looks like a sketch drawing of yourself that prints out. You can also paint using dried crayon. On the 3rd/4th floors you can create a puzzle, make crayon rings or cars, and also spin dried crayon wax onto a paper. You come home with a lot which is incredible! I wish there was a better overview of this on their website or described to me. I relied on many nice parents who clearly go there regularly. Btw don't sleep on their popcorn -- a must buy and eat! read more

We came on a Thursday during summer break and it was sufficiently fine. As someone who had never been before, I found the lack of signage/explanation for the different activities to be confusing and overwhelming at times, especially considering there were at least 6 school buses we saw empty out in our first 30 minutes of being there (summer camps). I realized this is probably because they expect their staff to be interacting with guests and providing that guidance. The workers seemed to be very overwhelmed and while doing their absolute best (there was no one just standing around twiddling their thumbs, that's for sure!) they were definitely understaffed. The interactive activities were fun, however my children were very quickly overwhelmed and we did not experience everything. I was surprised that they did not have ear plugs or headphones on hand. (Not a problem for us,- I keep them in the car as I am aware of my family's needs, and there is also a Family Dollar across the street that has earplugs). I'm sure it would be a better experience the second time around, knowing what to expect. read more

A lot of fun and activities for the children! Came here on our way back to NYC for a couple of hours, wished we could have stayed a bit longer. We picked up flyers for $5 off per person so entry so got pretty lucky with that given there were 9 of us. Started @ level 4 where you can do drip art and mold your own ring and race car then worked my way down to second floor for some personalization activities. Would have definitely bought the annual pass at $39 per person if I lived close. Didn't have time to shop at their gift shop as parking meter was running out but it did look pretty cool. read more

My son loved this place! We traveled from the Bronx ny to come here and it was worth the road trip. It's very far but Very interactive and great for kids. Many food areas to eat close by also.

Horrible experience! We took our 5 yr old granddaughter. Bought tickets online ahead of time and still stood outside in cold in long line all the way around block. Every "experience" had a long line! Older kids were so bad running, screaming, chasing each other with NO regard or respect to younger kids. NO employee's anywhere!! A free for all - 4 floors playground. There was still a huge line to get in as we exited. They need to limit the number of people and have more supervision!! I will never recommend this place! And VERY VERY EXPENSIVE to make a few crafts! If I could give ZERO STARS I would!! read more

We try to add kids' activities to every family road trip, so Crayola Experience made it to the list on our recent trip to PA. There were lots to do in here, but mostly arts and crafts (makes sense given this is Crayola themed). However, I wish there was a bit more than coloring, melting crayons and converting them to rings and artwork, and printing your kids' names on crayons. While my kids enjoyed themselves, I think the experience could've been enhanced. We weren't fans of the water section, which involved manually guiding a boat through a water path. If you have kids under 4, there is a mini play area by the food court. Around the same area, there are machines you can use to take and print self portraits (which we loved). Otherwise there was quite some coloring involved! read more

The best place to go with kids under the age of eight. So many levels with so many activities on every floor. It was a blast!

The Crayola experience is an awesome way to spend a rainy day in the middle of the week, especially if you've got some toddlers and early grade-schoolers who love coloring. Our gang made the trip on a Monday, and the first few hours were quite empty. Much like any Child-oriented activity, getting there early is the best approach, as some of the exhibits require a bit of a wait to get your turn. For that reason, I'd recommend starting on the top floor and working your way down - you'll go through two different wax creation exhibits that both require an employee's assistance. From there, you can jump around, with places to color and create at every turn. Over the course of our day, we made our own puzzles, got headshots of our team in comic book form, a full family colorable photo, and some customized crayons. For me, this is a no brainer valuewise for young kids, and the only question is whether you can stomach the crowds that are bound to pop up later in the day or on weekends. read more

If you have young kids, this is a must-see when visiting eastern PA. You pay one price and most activities are included. That makes a huge difference when you don't have to say 'no' much on family outings. I knew they had spin art and areas to color and craft, but I didn't know they also had climbing apparatus. My older child spent a lot of time playing on the tower and slides. My younger child enjoyed the crafting areas and the modeling clay tables. The large light peg board was a huge hit! We got to meet a crayon, Blizz, and had a great time. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. I don't know if you'd need much more than like 4 hours. We hit several areas 2-3 times and still made it out within 4-5 hours. The area around the Crayola Experience seemed nice. We had a nice walk from our parking spot and also stopped at a local hot dog place. The surrounding areas felt safe and clean. read more

Absolute disaster at the line. People with tickets waiting out in the cold, others without cutting in line. One line for both online tickets and those buying ticket at the entrance. What a mess. I don't understand why they don't have different lines for members, online tickets and regular ticket booth. After over 1.5 waiting in that insane line, made it in and was disappointed. The amount of activities and did not justify the cost of the ticket and the time wasted waiting. Won't be back to Easton, PA. read more

I have kiddos ages 9 and 14. It was ok for them. A little sensory overload and crowded. I was hoping to see how things are made ect. Parking was not too bad. We found a spot off the street. But, there is also a garage near by. The staff was around, and sort of helpful. The cost was meh . This was pretty much a one and done, we do not need to go back again. It's is definitely a great thing to do on a rainy day with younger school aged kiddos. read more

We have two kids, ages 3 1/2 and seven. They are at the perfect age to enjoy all that the Crayola experience has to offer. We got season passes so that we can go back a few times this year. Go on a weekday when they open and you won't have as many crowds. We went the Monday after New Year's Day and got there when it opened and it really wasn't very crowded at all. We stayed from about 10 until 1:30. Some of the staff don't look excited to be there but otherwise we had a great time and will return in February! I like that that have themed activities depending on the holiday/season. read more

We were really excited to try this mystery bag, but unfortunately the kids felt like they got swindled. The bag did include some Crayola items like crayons, a mess-free coloring set, and a Glow Fusion kit, plus a few small toys. On paper, it might add up close to $50 in retail value, but in reality the mix of items felt a bit underwhelming. All the bags have the same items. I bought three. Most of the excitement of a mystery bag is the surprise, but when the toys turned out to be more like dollar-store trinkets, the kids were disappointed. They were expecting something a little more special for the price. If you're buying this for younger kids who love arts and crafts, it might still be fun. But if you're hoping for higher-value surprises, be prepared--it may not meet expectations. read more

I'm not sure exactly how to begin this review so I'll just begin by listing several words here in no particular order and precedence: surprising, wonderful, enjoyable, and memorable. It was our first time here at a Crayola Experience, and the first time being in Easton, Pennsylvania. We were actually travelling to an event in Bethlehem, PA, from New Jersey, and noticed the signs for the Crayola Experience. We decided to capitalize on our time in the general area, and decided to visit Crayola Experience after attending our intended venue. We were not disappointed with that decision at all, with the Crayola Experience truly becoming incredibly fun for our kids and memorable for our family. While my family cannot simply call ourselves "Crayola-fans" by any means [sure we have a lot of Crayola-brand supplies at home, but we would be lost if asked to name a unique Crayola color or provide a tid-bit on Crayola history], our two kids [ages 5 and 2] enjoy drawing and coloring. We are familiar with the Crayola brand, and tend to go with Crayola [for art supplies] due to its reliability in quality. So when we came across the signs advertising for the Crayola Experience, we decided on whim to check it out. Our expectations were a bit low as far as what the venue would provide. We did no research at all before coming here (besides literally plugging it into Google Maps and driving here), so we did not know what it was going to be like. An initial comparison that came to mind was that of Legoland vs. a Lego Discovery Center. Honestly, we didn't expect the venue to offer as much as it did, which made our visit and experience all the more better. For starters, finding parking in the area may be a bit tricky. Again, we did absolutely no research or planning prior to coming here. Normally, our visits are a bit more structured - we liked to know what else is in the area with parking being one of the biggest planning factors we have to account for. Luckily, we stumbled upon metered parking on the street in the early afternoon on a Saturday, all the while there was construction and road-blockage due to both the combination of construction and downtown event that was happening. To our fortune, the street side parking was also no more than a block away (Ferry Street) from the venue. I would definitely advise anyone who is planning to come here, research what parking options are available. I believe we entered through the back of the venue (Pine Street), but that worked out since it conveniently placed and faced us toward the queue for ticket sales. For reference, it is a little bit less "grand" than the front face of the establishment (Center Square Circle) if you're looking for that type of thing or the photo op. The pricing is about what you would expect for this activity (around $90 for 2 adults and a 5 year old; 2 year olds and below get in for free). However, with our active military status, we receive a generous discount and benefits. From the beginning, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. While there was no physical map (patrons would need to download the map via scanning QR code), navigating the venue was generally rather easy. There is no expectation to go through the "experience" in an ordered fashion, and truly about having the kids wander about at their choosing. Looking back at this experience, I would describe the Crayola Experience as more of a "hands-on" museum/science center experience with a great variety of activities. On top of that, there are a lot of neat trinkets and creations that one gets to bring home at the end of their visit to the venue which made the experience super fun. As far as variety of activities, there is a good amount of create-it yourself stations in which you can bring home the product with you. There are some other create-it yourself activities, but at an extra charge. Additionally, there is a "movie-center" with timed showings, a cafe/lunch area on the first floor, two different indoor playgrounds [one for toddlers and one for older children], and a gift shop. Depending on the time of year, there are also themed activities and decorations, which makes the ambiance more playful and fun. Compared to other like sized venues which you can normally breeze through, I would say that you can easily spend 2 and half hours here, so plan for as such. Being a children-friendly venue, there are bathrooms on every floor that is easily accessible. There is an elevator to each floor, however, depending on the size of your stroller or wagon, space can get a bit type, especially if you're maneuvering through the activity stations. All in all, this is a super fun venue for the entire family and I would definitely recommend it as a spot that I would consistently come back to. read more

Packed place but overall happy (it's the summer!!). We got the annual membership and brought our toddler. There are 4 floors of fun. Molding, drawing, a jungle gym, and more. I don't know who had more fun, me or our toddler. You can make your own crayon label and it comes with a crayon. For the amount you pay, you can bring home a lot of material. We even made puzzles and a crayon ring. Parking is metered or in a parking lot. Keep track of your time and meter. It's August and there doing a lot of construction on the streets. read more

Crayola Experience - Amusement Parks Near Me - Easton, Pennsylvania

Our 6 and 4 year olds (and us parents) had a totally stellar time visiting the Crayola Experience in late December. Even though it was a Saturday it wasn't too packed and the kiddos were able to do some of their favorite activities multiple times. I recommend going a little later in the day (if possible). And start with the super fun activities on the 4th floor, the awesome melted crayon pictures, and melted rings and race cars, before making your way back down to the bottom. We spent 5 hours there. Definitely worth the trip! read more
