Crayola Experience Orlando — Attraction in Pine Castle

This was quite a place to take your family too. The souvenir shop is on the first floor, and the Crayola attractions are upstairs. There's playgrounds for children, a snack bar with collectible cups & buckets, a big coloring station with crayons, one with markers, a station for their air dry clay (tokens required for clay purchases), paint, crayon melting, Crayola history, photo op with Crayola Characters (right now it's with the Retired Colors), and even personalized crayon stations! There's so much to do, it's astounding. While directed mainly for a child audience there are things there for all Crayola fans of all ages. You can sit and color, make personalized coloring pages, take photos with the characters, games, food, attend a Crayola auditorium experience (I believe it was about the history of Crayola & their crayons, we didn't get to go to that as my little one enjoyed the playground more than anything else lol). Throughout the attraction level it has bits and pieces of Crayola's history and information about their products. Almost like a mini - museum of sorts. Upon entry you are giving a clear, Crayola bag with two tokens and one voucher for your choice of Scribble Scrubbies! The bags are to carry your momentos and artwork you create. This place is great for parents who want their kids to play somewhere that can also allow the parents to sit nearby and relax as the children play near them.

It's nearing the end of summer break at the time of this posting, therefore it was insanely busy. However, I'd go back even without my child lol. I was a big Crayola kid growing up, as I drew, colored, and crafted a lot and still do now. It's because of the Limited Edition Retired Colors of 2025 for being why I'm taking this trip down memory lane for a bit of nostalgia. My only complaints were that it was insanely hot inside where you get admission for. All of our heads were wet from sweating. I do not know if it's naturally that warm or if an AC was out, but it was a bit uncomfortable in that sense. Also, the gift shop, while having a large selection of coloring, art, and collector's items, it didn't have a lot of the popular coloring products (such as specific crayons, markers, pencils). It also didn't have everything that the Retired Colors include for their line, just the basics: coloring book, packs, markers, pencils, some stickers, and Small-medium crayon packs. Basically, if you're looking for certain collection items just expect the selection to not be super big in the shop and do your research online. They do have the Pick Your Pack Crayon and Marker wall, though! Which also includes the Retired Colors you can add to your choice of tin. Overall, we got some great goodies and we had a lot of fun. I cannot...

I'll start off right off the bat by saying the only negative I can think of is that sometimes you'll wait a hot minute to get bag checked at security. The price is soo reasonable. We paid about $30 online for annual passes, which were only $5 more per person. We didn't have to pay for kiddo under 3. We make the visit about every month or every other month. You're allowed to bring food in. We bring a cooler, mostly snacks for kiddo. Like yogurt, blueberries/strawberries. But when we decide to eat, we leave crayola and go to the food court or go somewhere for lunch. You don't have to eat the food there. I read some negative reviews & it's just poor planning. We drive about 2 hours. So when we arrive the play space that is padded which is nice so kiddo can move! And there's different age group play areas. Yes, there are unruly kids. Yes there is wear & tear on the soft zone but it's not as bad as some other places. The bathrooms have always been clean. Yes, sometimes parents don't clean up or make sure their kid cleans up so sometimes paper is left on tables. It's not that big of a deal to go to another table!! They constantly swap out the color crayons at the molding section for different colors. So far, no duplicate greens & blues! I like having the annual pass. Sometimes you'll get double tokens or can bring friends. Annual pass holders get discounts at the store. I feel like everything we do bring our young tot that they are discovering new things about this place. Always something to discover. The scribble square is great. They had a scavenger hunt for Christmas which was a fun thing to do. You can meet the yellow crayon (forgot their name) and it's such a quick line. Fun to make a label for a crayon. Anytime a label got stuck or we put a token in for a marker, there's always an employee around. They're always helpful. You do end up smelling like a crayon when you leave. I don't know how ppl expect not to pay for the extra games & things or expect to find gourmet pizza at places like this lol Manage your expectations. We've had good experiences here. And our kid at 20 months old was pushed hard by a 3 yr old. Terrible. I kid you not, the next time we went, the same kid was there trying to pick on my 22 month old except I recognized him & stopped him. I don't count that as a bad experience from crayola but that of the family of the kid. We also came back with slap cheek or 5ths disease but we also got the flu from the Miami children's museum. You can't count those experiences against a place. At least I don't. We like crayola experience. We like that there's another play zone inside the...

I recently took my kids to the Crayola Experience, and I have to say, I was disappointed. The $30 entry fee for adults, and kids and for the adults only gives you basic access to walk around the facility, which feels like a lot for what you get i don't want to make crayon i brought my kids for the experience not me so of course the adults give the kids there bags there lil washable animal to just stand there and watch them do these excursion is insane this is not a theme park there is no way any parents should pay to enter into this if they are not participating now if the parent wants to participate yes the parent pays but if i am already paying for three kids why do i need to pay for myself to walk around and chase after kids to tell them to sit down no one was around at any station to explain to you what and how to use the machine or even explain the excursion we had to do it ourselves tokens kept getting taken away no one to replace had to buy token token machine was out of service had to locate someone to prove let them know i'm missing tokens and etc. As a parent, you're expected to pay just to supervise your kids while they explore, but you don’t actually get to participate in most of the activities unless you pay more every other activities have a fee that the kids really want to do who care about getting free crayons these kids want to do slime and etc which is additional cost .

On top of the entry fee, almost every fun activity comes with an additional charge. Things like making slime, glitter tattoos, gem-making, creating art, and even getting a wax hand are all extra costs. It feels like they lure you in with the promise of an exciting experience, only to hit you with more fees once you're inside. And as an adult, you're essentially just standing around, watching your kids enjoy the activities without being able to join in or even fully understand what's happening.

I get that some activities might have an extra fee, but it’s frustrating when the core experience is so limited. For $30, I expected more. Parents are already paying to supervise, and the added costs make it feel like we’re just there to watch our kids do everything without actually getting anything in return. For families on a budget or those looking for a more immersive experience, I’d say skip this one. It’s nice but adults shouldn't have to pay to just walk around and supervise our own kids and than spend over 200 dollars inside the park if you have more than one kids to feed them and to enjoy the other excursions they...
