A Parent’s Guide to Crayola Experience – Best Activities for Kids

Wrap It Up

After you’ve climbed the grand staircase, you’ll arrive at Wrap It Up. Here visitors (children and adults) can choose a colored crayon, personalize the wrapping with a name and desired clip art then head to the wrapping station to complete their creation.

The colors offered are typically organized by color family: greens, blues, purples, oranges, and so on.

The crayon machines require one token which is included in goody bag upon arrival. Additional tokens can be bought for $.50 each.

Be a Star

Create your own coloring page. Here participants choose a black and white background before sitting pretty for their picture. A computer screen faces you so you can adjust your position as needed to capture the perfect photo.

There are several background options and unlimited coloring pages can be created and printed.

Modeling Madness

Modeling Madness is just across from Be a Star and it’s home to all things dough. Crayola’s Magic Modeling Compound stays pliable enough to recreate over and over until your child’s masterpiece is just right.

Sculpting tools are on the tables to flatten, cut, and imprint. The coolest part? The dough can be colored! While markers can be used on any color, white is truly a blank canvas.

One token to purchase a package of modeling compound is included with the goody bag with extra tokens available to purchase for $.50 each.

Drip Art

Remember the spin art craze?! Relive it again at Drip Art.

Here anyone of any age can choose two crayon colors to melt, combine, and create. The paper spins as the melted wax crayon swirls onto the page. Each artist has the power to choose the speed of the spin for a truly unique masterpiece.

This activity is included with general admission and can be done as many times as desired.

Activity Studio

Have a project-driven illustrator? This station has color, cut, and paste projects to complete. The theme changes regularly to keep fresh ideas and creativity continuous.

Plenty of tables abound to provide space to spread out.

Melt and Mold

This stop is another must-do. Repurpose a regular crayon into something new and extraordinary! Each visitor chooses an unwrapped crayon from the attendants’ tray before heading to the melting machine.

Put the crayon into the machine and watch as it melts into a new shape on the table. Once it cools, it’s ready to color with.

Molds include an emoji face, vehicle, and diamond ring. Choose one or choose all three!

Scribble Scrubbies

If you haven’t tried a Scribble Scrubbie yet, get to it! These little pets are a blast to draw colorful designs on. The best part? Every Scribble Scrubbie character can be washed and redesigned.

In our experience, there are some colors that seem to “stick” more than others creating a slightly used canvas.  Characters options are changed regularly. Annual passholders get to choose between two Scrubbies options.

You Design

For the designer in your life, there is the You Design room. Here kids of all ages can design a fashionable outfit or a rad racer. This virtual studio lets you choose a figure or vehicle from one of the templates to color, draw, and accessorize. Place it in one of the scanners and watch the big screen to see the creation come to life.

There is no limit to the amount of designs that can be created!

Scribble Square

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Visit the Crayola neighborhood in the middle of the action. This is the one safe space to draw on the walls, floors, and everything else with chalk. All little artists will enjoy freedom from rules.

Rockin’ Paper

Rock out with Rockin’ Paper. Kids will love getting their wiggles out along with their creation. This craft includes a template to color, cut out, and take to the attendant who will clip it up with binder clips so it can stand and set it bouncing to the beats.

No token required

Stomp & Play

Tucked away in the back corner of Crayola Experience is Stomp & Play. This area is easily overlooked, but it is lots of fun. Any kid who has played on a BEAM game system is going to love this.

Color Playground and Toddler Town

There are two indoor playgrounds for your energetic little monkeys to tumble, climb and play. Toddler Town is the perfect environment for the youngest of the family to safely explore and crawl.

Color Playground is a two-story obstacle course through a box of crayons the older ones will gleefully wiggle and bounce through.

There is only one entrance / exit of the Color Playground for ages 5-12.
Toddler Town is a smaller play area for ages 2-4. It is open without a perimeter or entrance / exit.

“Chaos and Creativity” Show

Can chaos create beauty? It does in the Chaos and Creativity show. When things go awry, Peri and her new friend Cat show us we can solve any problem with the help of friends.

This can be interactive if you have a child who talks to the screen when Cat the caterpillar needs to be found.

“Crayon Factory” Show

This informative show is really neat and educational. The entire audience learns just how crayons are made from liquid wax to box ready.

Learn the testing techniques and details that make a Crayola crayon a Crayola crayon.
