Crayola Experience Easton in Easton, PA

We went with a 4 and 2 year old. They had a blast. There were a few attractions that were for older children. But overall great for little ones. The large playground allowed adults in which is helpful for shy kids who need a little encouragement to play. All the staff were kind and helpful. And they allowed us to bring in a few “survival” snacks in even though it says no outside food or drink. I will say it can be overstimulating and it can be difficult to find a quiet area to reset. My four year old passed by some of the last exhibits because he was done with the noise and ready to leave. We were there for about 2.5 hours total.

My family (wife and two children (11&7) spent the day there and had a wonderful time. Thinking we would be spending only a couple of hours there, we looked at other potential things to do in the area. However, we ended up staying until nearly closing time after being entertained for 5 hours. There is a lot to do especially if one likes crafts.

Parking is a bit of a hassle as everything is metered and you can only pay for up to 2 hours. The municipal parking lot was pretty convenient and inexpensive. There is a coat check, which was nice, so you didn't have to carry your coat with you. Admission was fairly quick as many seemed to have prepaid. The cashier provides you with a bag to place your "treasures" in and, explained the holiday scavenger hunt and how to get a prize upon completion. We started on the 4th floor as other reviewers suggested, and only waited a few minutes to do the activities, which the age group of 4 to 8 year olds were enjoying. The crafts offered on the other floors, were low key, but for the age group, very appropriate. Fun was had in the play arena and the lab, with the computer activated activities. We did opt for the $15 Holiday Boost, which value wise isn't a great deal but the snack provided was fine. Food options are pricey and they need more staff to clean the tables and floor. The Gift Shop was well stocked with an assortment of merchandise, again a little pricey, but there are some economical options. All in all, we spent 5 hours and it was an enjoyable day.

Is fun for all ages. Plenty to keep adults and kids engaged. Is also nice that teachers can get in free (regardless of where you teach in the US—just bring a copy of your teaching certificate). Only complaint really is the food in the cafe is pretty tasteless and expensive, but I think this is pretty typical for places like this.

I am an annual passholder, I come twice a month. Usually it’s a precursorsry Surge of the bags, but today it was carefully scrutinized, and all the food items were taken. ( You can pick them up when you leave. There is no healthy food at the snack bar, so you’re forced to go out into the mall to get something to eat, or go out your car and get your stuff and eat, or not eat. It was completely disheartening, as I took our stuff back out to the car and now we don’t have any healthy snacks and, to top it all off the snack bar registers is broken so that was a hot mess too! And we’re gonna leave early.
