Crayola Experience Plano

We saw this attraction with mixed reviews and wondered how Crayola could be anything but awesome. After visiting we unfortunately came to the conclusion that the Crayola Experience was not worth the (expensive) price of entry, especially for what's offered. Children 3 and under are free, so for two adults and a child it cost us $60. THE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

• Crayon coloring station with 8 colors of crayons and 4 different pages to color.
  

• Water coloring station with a blank piece of manilla paper you can paint on and then dry in a conveyor belt dryer.
  

•  Marker station (six colors) where you can color a paper beard that you can then cut out and glue a strap to the back so you can wear it.
  

• Coloring station to color one of 3 characters you can then scan onto a tablet, pick a background for the character then h email it to yourself.
  

• Selfie station where you can pick different face options then take a selfie and email yourself the picture.
  

• A picture station where you can take your own picture, choose a background for it, then print it out and color it
  

• Medium sized indoor playground for kids.
  

• Small indoor playground for toddlers, a coloring station where you can color
  

•  A station where you can choose between 3 colors of melted crayons to draw on a blank index card with. Think of a hot glue gun with a crayon instead of glue.
  

• Crayon melting station
  

• Chalk station where you can draw on walls or a small decorative car.
  

• Small theater to watch a short film
  

• Other activities.
  

Each 'activity' station has room for roughly 2-6 families at a time, so you can move from one to the other as space becomes available. There is also a Cafe to eat meals at, and vending machines that accept quarters (or tokens) to get a personalized crayon, or a colored piece of modeling clay.

Ultimately my family and I would not visit this attraction again in the future. The cost for a single visit was far too expensive for what was offered in activities and attractions, especially since adults cost the most and adults aren't the ones participating in the experience. There is a one year annual pass option, but even then, if I lived in the area I wouldn't see the value in it.
