This place has amazing ways to entertain kids specially young children . I have visited the main one at Pennsylvania and is amazing and beautiful that’s why I wanted to see how the Orlando location was. Their customer service is terrible since walking in. It lacks proper explanation of their procedures due to COVID-19. They only accept credit cards In all areas no cash allowed at all for their employees safety . But this is a hands on place and is not safe at all as they don’t clean the playing , eating , drawing áreas frequently. Employees are mostly young teens but they don’t provide a good service when dealing with customers .

Went here with my two kids (ages 6 and 4) and they loved it. Stayed here about four hours and only left because we had to catch our flight back home. An added bonus is this place is only a ten minute drive to the airport, so a good last day activity in Orlando.
Not cheap to get in and they charge adults the same as kids, even though almost all the activities are geared towards kids. However, after dealing with Disney price shock, this place seems cheap in comparison and is no more a rip off than any other place in Orlando.
They did give us many tokens to use for personalized crayons and modeling clay, so there wasn’t a bunch of extra costs. My kids love to color, so they were in heaven most of the time at this place. There is also a playground for kids to run around in and several activity stations (go to website to see what you can do).
Wouldn’t say the employees here were super motivated but it was staffed sufficiently when we went on a Saturday in January. Got more crowded as day went on but wasn’t overwhelmed. May have been due to the weather being 72 and sunny that day. If it is rainy, I could see the place being a zoo.
They do let you go in and out, so I would skip the cafeteria and find something better to eat in the mall, when you are ready to take a break for lunch.

I visited with 4,4,7 year old. If you sign up to the site they send you a 15% discount code. 4 and under is free and 5+ is the same as an adult ticket. Even with the discount I didn't really think it was value for money. The highlights of the visit were when you got to use the tokens they give to you to choose a colour and customerise your own label and taking pics which were then be printed in black and white which you could colour . We were under the impression we would have the chance to customerise our own personal colour but it turns out it was just the label. I would only recommend you visit this attraction if you have a spare day with nothing to do. Of you do attend you won't be there all day so you could always do something else later on in the day.

I would prefer if the parents didn't have to pay to enter. I don't really care to have extra coins and there's really nothing for the parents there besides spending time with their children. It was a little pricey after having to pay admission for three people and would have prefer to do something else at that cost.
My son was three when we went and I felt he was little too young to really take advantage of what Crayola Experience has to offer. He mainly played at the little jungle gym they had and sat down for maybe 10 minutes to color and that was it. He mainly just ran around and wasn't really interested in doing any of the other activities.
They had a lot to offer but it if you have younger children like my son, it may be best to skip this one until they're older. This requires the children to sit for some time to really do a lot of the activities offered and if your child doesn't sit still or have a long attention span, it will be a waste of money.

Went with my 5-year olds and had a lot of fun with the wide range of creative activities at the Crayola Experience, from drawing and painting to melting and forming crayon art. The show/demonstration on how they make crayons was a high point. Some arcade games available, too, but we could have spent all day just with the artistic items. They've done a good job adjusting the layout to allow excellent social distancing. Very impressed and I had as much fun as my kids.

This place is a lot of fun. Lots to do inside and teachers/military get a discount! It is cheaper than visiting one of the theme parks. Tickets are around $25 per adult. Anyone any age could have fun here. It is accessible for someone with wheelchair. There is a show about how crayons are made, you can label your own crayon, make wax crayon projects, color a washable toy, play area for kids, selfie stations, video stations, cafe, snacks, melted crayon craft, coloring galore. Connected to the Crayola store in the Florida Mall beside Dick's Sporting Goods, side entrance also available. Definitely would recommend if your looking for something unique to do.

We went here a couple years ago when we were in Orlando. As we drove past it dropping somebody off at the airport, my daughter saw it and remembered it. She asked if we could go again, so we did. There’s different stations inside- make your own crayon, make your own coloring sheet, create different designs, make a melted crayon design or crayon mold, etc. We probably stayed for about 2 hours. There’s also a small indoor play area.

We saw a video from the Tim Tracker on you tube about this place. My child saw the video and we both thought it looked interesting, and there arent many locations. We usually visit Orlando every few years, and decided on the next trip no matter what, we would fit it in. It was a great afternoon escape from the Disney parks on the busy holiday crowds. There werent to many people here and we were able to do everything that we wanted. We loved the melt station and the drip art station. Loved that we got a scrubby to! Def worth a visit for something different. I do feel that there were to many food places in this little area. You could eliminate a food area for more activity areas. Your holiday scenes were cute.

We took our grandson to Crayola Experience and he loved it. He’s 7-years old. There are so many activities that encourage creativity. You can name a crayon color and print the name of the color that you create. You can easily spend a whole day there. Three also have food available. Of the things we did while he was here, he liked this one the best.

We purchased year tickets last year and we went to kill time with our son before we checked into our Disney Vacation. The experience was great our son had a blast. Fast forward to this year and our last day of vacation is usually a down day where we relax and our son says can I go to the Crayon place. So we went. And our passes were still good. Our son played on their playground. Made clay sculptures and made his own crayons again. This place is worth the stop to give your kids a chance to just play aside from the theme parks. Thanks!!

Do you have to pay separately for each craft station or is it all included in the entrance fee?

When you arrive, you should receive a few tokens with your ticket. These can be used for the clay vending machines or the make your own crayon station. You can also purchase more tokens if you need to, but the price is reasonable. (I think .25 a token) All of the other activity areas are free.
There is a candy area right in the middle of it all that you would need to pay for if you wanted candy, as well as a gift shop that you must exit through at the end.

Do the adults have to pay or is the entry fee just for the child/ children?

Free admission if your child is 3 yo or younger. Admission is full price for all others. I would recommend finding discount tickets either on the Crayola Experience website prior to arriving or showing your AAA card for a discount.

We had driven to Florida, so we had a car. We also parked next door, but I thought there was a small charge, but very convenient to Crayola Experience.

Well, if you're going, he'll have to pay full price regardless if he joins in the activities or not. But non the less, if he's crafty he might like it. Definitely look for coupons!
Is this a great place for a 1 yes old?

The oldest we had with our group was 10. She still wants to go back and is almost 11. I think it just depends on what they like to do.
