Im so glad the store is open. So many items for children and adults. Too many to describe. A fun place to look and shop.

This place was amazing, way better then I expected. Id say its for older kids like 5 and up but young ones can have some fun as well there is about 15 areas of fun from making your own crayon label to melting crayons and shaping then into things, also tons of coloring stations as well as a place you can color your own person and car and see them on a fashion show and a racetrack, also a place thats lets you take pictures and it prints then out to be colored. They have placed for good as well and then theres the gift shop!!!! Oh man its amazing all the stuff Crayola had come up with is amazing you will not be disappointed by planning a day here!

We had blue berry pancakes and they were not cooked all the way. Gooey batter, we had to send them back. They were replaced and they were better.

We had a blast here. You can make a custom crayon of either a car or a ring. The color selection is three different colors. You can do melting crayon art as well once again the colors are limited to 3 or 4. Both were fun and the kids enjoyed it. They have a “from page to life” area we’re you can color either a vehicle page or a dress page. They make you vehicle the way you colored it come to life. Same with the dress page it gets modeled down a run away. My kids LOVED seeing their creations come to life. They also have a name your own crayon area this cost extra though. It’s like .50 a crayon. You can pick the color then you get to name the color. There is a Crayola clay molding station which also cost extra. Each package of clay is .50 you get to pick your color then mold it to your liking at their molding tables. They have an area that is for wax molding of like your hand or holding hands with someone and other molds. This area was unfortunately down the day we were there but I think it was like $15 for a hand $30 for hold hands. Not positive though. Overall everyone had a great time. We will return for sure.

What a great place as long as your kids are under 12. There is something to do for all kids but don’t plan a whole day around this, it’s pretty small, maybe 3-4 hours max. But a blast while there.I have had the good fortune to have been to the Plano TX location and it is massive with a fun play place so I was expecting more, not a negative just was expecting a bigger place!I will say it was pretty nice and clean!Get a season pass and enjoy!

This place is pretty cool. Pricing could be a little more family friendly but overall a cool place and experience.

Great place to go with little ones! We took our grandkids (4 & 9) and they had a blast! Honestly don’t know what kind of repeat value it would have, but they’re visiting from out of town so a one and done was perfect for us. Clean place, friendly staff and great energy.

Only a few unique activities. These activities had waiting lines. Personally this reminded me of the M&Ms stores. Nice for a one time visit. Not good value for money. I dont see a reason to go back.

Cool stuff to do and keep busy with in the AC. Definitely worth it to buy the annual pass if you plan to come back for then once. Buy you tickets or pass online as its cheaper. Will say that the drip art and melt and mold could be run much more efficiently but other then that all good.

My eight year old daughter just loves the place. Being autistic, she isnt usually one for large crowds and noises, but the bright colors and all the stations lights her world. She can stand in the long lines without a second thought just because she gets to creat fun and beautiful things with crayons. Were there at least once a week because the Crayola Experience is her Disneyland.

We had a great time. We where there for 5 hrs and had a blast all the kids did. Our 2 year old got to write chalk on walls the others had a blast doing spin art and coloring all day.We started off just getting standard tickets and ended up getting annual pass.

This is one of the neatest places ! They have so many activities for the little ones to do; I was expecting to be there 45 min to an hour tops and we were there from 10:30 am to almost 2 pm! (They even stamp your hand when you leave to come back and visit the same day!) There is an awesome gift shop at the exit of the attraction with TONS of items. If youre looking to kill some time or spend some one on one with your little one this is the perfect place to go! We loved spending our mommy daughter date here ️ she cant wait to go back!

Such a great experience for the kids!!! We loved it! Cant wait for Crayola to open one in Southern Cali. Families bring their kids here and the staff is very helpful. The price is reasonable.

Soooo much fun! Great value. There is so much to do here. Plan to spend several hours. There are all kids on stations with various activities that catered to all ages. I wish there was a location closer to Peoria AZ. It is a long drive, but it was worth it. My kids already want to go back.

A great place for kids to be creative. And the store is a wonderland of color. I love socks. And they have socks of every color. Their giant plush crayons are super cool. The store is just a happy place.

Review №28

First time seeing this store and was quite impressed with it. It looks like a Disney store so I am guessing it is connected. Lots of things to choose from and I did find it to be a little pricey. Worth taking some time to look around this store as there is allot more to it that you realize. Only gave it 4 stars due to prices.

Review №29

This place is a joke. They charge $15/person just to walk through the door and color a lame picture with crayons. For $70 total, they gave us 8 lousy tokens to use for activities. Just about every activity in this place will cost you more money to participate. They have change machines and credit card stations around every corner to take more of your money. If you want to waste a ton of money and stand in crowded lines with tons of kids, this is a great place to do that. An absolutely pathetic and sorry facade for entertainment. Welcome to the epitome of American greed. Thanks for nothing, Crayola. Fun meter was unacceptably low while we were here.

What a fun place to take the little kids!! Every time we come here its a blast for our young ones!There are so many activities that you can easily spend hours there on just a couple of them and go back for more fun. The annual pass is extremely affordable (less than 2 single tickets!) and totally worth it if you have little creative kids.The location isnt crowded and its very well staffed. Overall this is definitely an attraction to see and a memory your little kids wont forget!Note: I wouldnt recommend this place for kids over 10 years old unless they are REALLY into creativity and art as they could get bored after an hour (based on observation).

I love Crayola . This place is amazing . The place is always clean. The staff are very nice and friendly. My daughter loves Crayola. I bought the annual pass. We go there all the time. You need to buy the annual pass . It is not that expensive, and it is worth it.

Review №34

My son had a lot of fun and I loved the teacher membership! He loved making his own car crayon and wax spin art. We paid extra for the panning for gems, my son loved it! We were also surprised that the products at the gift shop were comparable to the prices in retail stores.

It was okay The store is just overpriced and the activity center is closed.

Review №36

Im usually for entertaining the kids for a few hours but this place was not all that fun. If youre wondering how much crayon themed fun could even be in here, take your minimum guess and halve it. After the general admission price, there are STILL games (crayon themed skee ball) in here you have to pay for which just seems like a bait and switch. And those games dont take the free tokens you get. Those are so you can make one 5¢ crayon or buy some modeling clay.Update: The corporation responded but with the wrong location! This is Chandler, not Plano. Obviously a prepared copy and paste response. Its just super telling at this point...

Review №37

This place is awful! The guides are not in the least enthusiastic they basically say heres you crayon this is how it works ..the music is super loud, the gift shop is over priced even the person running the snack bar was unenthusiastic and stoic, I couldnt even understand what she was saying and besides the admission make sure you bring money because other than the 3 crayon melting stations and 2 or 3 coloring stations everything else costs ..and here is the best part..there is a little station where you can color a car and have it come to life or color a paper doll for a fashion show and it comes to life on a big screen well my neice wrote ...the word Basic on one of the paper dolls as a hommage to an inside joke we share and the person sitting over the exhibit fussed at her and told her could be considered vulgar and profanity...Im so over this place, save your money and shop in the mall which is great

Review №39

It wasnt what I was expecting. I thought there would be a few more things to do here. In my opinion its not worth the money. Kids got bored fast. This is more for small children. We did do a very cool little painting. The best part of the Crayola experience.

Ive taken my son here a couple of times already. He loves it and is always excited about coming back. There are alot of activities for the kids and some are very creative. Staff is always very nice. I would probably get the yearly pass if I lived here.

We had a fantastic time here. My 8 month old niece and my 13 month old son colored and joined in on activities but Im sure if anything, they were attracted to the vibrantly colored environment. My 4 and 6 year old nieces, along with the rest of us adults really got to enjoy the crayola experience. Glad we got to come here as a family during our stay in Arizona.

Review №47

Amazing place to take the kids! We bought annual passes, because the price is too good to pass up. There are so many activities here--we were not able to do them all in one visit--and theyre so much fun to do over and over again. The price is very reasonable, considering a one-time ticket is good all day. My four year old asks to go here all the time, and its worth our drive from Queen Creek. If you have young kids, buy the annual pass. Its a perfect place for the kids to play.

Review №49

So dang expensive! An icee is $6. Plus not everything is free once you get in. You have to buy your own clay to play at the clay tables. Mining for “gold” and candle making way more money. The kids had fun but I would have taken them somewhere else for the money.

Review №50

Cool place to hang out with the kids for awhile.I was scoping out places I could take the entire family to and this is one that Ive added to the list of things well do together. It feels a little pricey but if youre on vacation, its a nice place to cool off and let the kids get creative. I wouldnt come here more than once or twice a year, but everyone that worked there that we spoke with was really friendly and it was upbeat.

Review №51

Great fun for kids about age 4-10. I brought my kids ages 4.5 and 1.5. my toddler wasnt able to participate in a whole lot independently, but she still had fun. Buy your tickets online to save $1, but be very careful with your time selected as you cant change it. You get 2 tokens included with your admission and as far as activities, only the name your crayon station and modeling clay cost a token. If you want to do each of those more than once, then you will need to buy more tokens.I suggest getting there early as those who get there in the morning can stay as long as they want. We got there around 12 and stayed for almost 3 hours! And we brought a few activities home to finish (painting and cutting out, and modeling clay). Your color options are better at the beginning as well. Getting there at 12, there were only a few blue crayons left to name.We walked through and surveyed lines. We only stood in line at two activities, spin art and melt and mold. I think the longest we waited was 10 minutes tho. Spin art colors were a little lame you get to pick 2 of 4 color options: pink, orange, yellow and green. And melt and mold only had pink, yellow, and orange to choose from, you pick one color. Thankfully we like pink, but my daughters favorite is red and there was no blue offered.If you live close this is a great indoor activity. We live in North Peoria though, so I wont be buying annual passes since we live so far away.

We still went, even after reading the reviews. Our twins 7 years old had a great time. They personalized 2 crayons, played with the clay, created a dancing frog, brought a picture to life, made a mask, and lots of other stuff. The staff was friendly and the facilities were clean. Good value for the price. If we lived here we would get the membership.

It was a good experience. I took my 7 yr old and 3 year old nephews. They enjoyed their time. We spent two to three hours there, took our time, and did all of the activities except one. We went during a holiday weekend and it was busy at times but not enough to be a huge problem.

Review №58

Fun place to spend a couple of hours out of the heat. We enjoyed the Drip Art and mold stations the best, where a machine melts a couple of crayons to create spin art or drips into a mold.I just wish the staff was more friendly and engaging. I understand that dealing with thousands of kids a day can wear on a person, but the crew members seemed miserable to be there.I dont see the annual membership as worth it, I think my son would get bored easily if he went more than twice a year.Buy tickets online, it saves a buck and having stand in a line to buy them.

Helped with a field trip here, and it was so much more than I was expecting. Our child and the entire class raved about it and had such a great time. Originally, I thought there may not be enough to occupy pung children for several hours ,but I can humbly admit when Im wrong. Crayola experience was so much fun,and kept us all busy for the better part of the day.

Had a small party for my 5 year old. This was fun! Mu 2 year old enjoyed but not do much coloring. Mostly running around. My 5 year old really enjoyed it. My 12 year old niece enjoyed it the most! However, my offer 12 year old niece, not so much. Give it a try.

Review №65

With it being opening day, and a large number of homeschooling groups coming through, I was expecting chaos. It was not! We spent three hours in there, never felt overly crowded or rushed. We didnt have to wait very long for anything. The staff was attentive, and we had a great time! My only suggestion for them would be to add some crayon sharpeners because the crayons were a little dull within the first 10 minutes. My kids loved everything. They couldnt name their favorites. You get a couple of tokens to name a crayon and get a small package of modeling clay. Plus, you can melt a crayon into a mold for a ring or a race car. Plus you have tons of art projects walking out. There is a snack shop and bathrooms inside.

Review №66

I originally gave only a 2 star rating because when I first walked into the experience, the music was too loud, all the bright lights and colors and the crowds of children laughing and playing, had sent me into a sensory meltdown where I went into the ladies room and just cried... A short time later, I checked my Glucose levels which came back well below normal... So in doing my internal math, My problems were because I was symptomatic... A small bite of the Snack bars fudge and I was ready to play! So in the end 4 stars only because my art didnt make it back to Tucson with me =( but I for sure wanna come back!

Crayola is a fun place to experience. The craft stations are really neat.Make your own crayon with its own personalized label, a crayon mold, water painting, or crayon spin art.Interactive stations include: 3D magic art, a flowing paint wall, drawing designs that will be rendered in 3D and projected onto a video screen, and make your own selfie.Kids enjoy the whole place, and even the adults. Theres still more to do, but go there to have fun.I sure did.

My kids thoroughly enjoyed visiting this experience and the myriad activities it offers children. There are many interesting ways they use crayons to inspire creativity and spur imagination and the kids wanted to go back for more the very next day after a solid 3 hour session. This may be one of the better family activities where everyone can participate and have a fun, colorful time. PS make sure to make your custom crayon named whatever you please!

Loved it! Can’t wait to come back! I would buy the annual pass over the day pass! It seems it would be so much more worth it. There’s no pressure to hit everything in one visit, especially if it’s busy. Plus an indoor annual pass in Arizona, heck ya!

Review №80

Had a lot of fun things for everyone to do, but if you bring younger children (like my 2 year old niece) bring someone else who can watch them. She liked the AR stuff, but some of the stuff I dont think she really understood what was going on. Bring a couple of dollar bills to get extra tokens (used to get custom-printed crayon labels and modeling clay). There are a couple of things (literally like 3 things) that require additional payment as well, so be careful. Most of the stuff is included in the price of admission, so thats a plus.

Review №82

Its like an indoor theme park, but for crayons. Some activities included melting crayons and shaping art. Some included coloring on paper and scanning into their digital art systems and seeing your art come to life. Their was your own clay sculpture station. Color on walls with chalk. Overall, their was 19 stations and activities to do involving colors or crayons, and the kids got to express them selves in many ways.The only problems I had, the place was overcrowded when kids and I went. It was almost overwhelming. One of my kids stuff got picked up or taken twice and she was convinced someone was stealing her stuff. I had to explain to her to keep her bag on her arms. The prices were kind of high as well. Some activities required extra money.

Review №85

This place has been pretty fun. Theres lots of stuff to do for kids of various ages. My one year old has a good time whenever we go. You can make crayon wrappers with customized names, create coloring pages from photos, color and water paint, melt crayons into different shapes, and draw with chalk to name a few of the available activities. Theres other things to do my little one isnt too interested in now, but include turning your colored pages into a live 3D video which I assume would be pretty cool to see as a kid. Its 15 bucks each time, or 30 for a year pass, per person over two years old. Weve been a few times already and plan on continuing to go. It has been pretty busy when going but lines werent too bad, besides when there was a special event there and that was expected. There is enough to keep my kid entertained and it does seem like money well spent for some basic, but fun activities. Lots of cool memories to be made too, which is always a plus.

Review №89

Exactly what the name says, its an experience...... It alright, the activities were mostly the same, all melting crayon and using it in different ways.... It cost a token to make a label with your own word choice, limited to 6 colors to choose from......??? Each admission came with 2..... Or .50$ each if you desire more.....I was shocked that the 2 skeeball machines were .50$ each game..... But wow. I su5ppose that they dont make enough money from out feeding you into the gift shop.and I suppose that the last thing I would have to say is that I was kind of shocked to see that they offered a late ticket pricing...... Half price for an hour before close..... I would have thought it would be cheaper or have had another hour..... Prolly make more in admission and sales from the money participants would save....

Review №91

We arrived at 10am when the experience opened. Having read other reviews about some activities being unavailable, I was hoping they would have been corrected. Unfortunately, they weren’t! There were only 2 colors of crayons to create because the others were unavailable! Both model magic machines were totally empty! How do you run out of crayons or materials? Shouldn’t there be a warehouse of supplies to replenish from each day? The lines weren’t too bad. The attendants were polite but not overly enthusiastic or kid friendly.Since it just opened, hopefully, things will improve

You pay to get into a place that appear large on the outside. Half of the venue is a store to purchase their products. A large amount of activities require an additional fee. Staff does not welcome you nor help you try and figure out the few things there is to do. Most kids like the virtual display on the floor but it’s too small to enjoy safety and they repeatedly bump into eachother
