Crayola Experience
Plano, Texas
Discover the magic of color at Crayola’s premier and one-of-a-kind family destination. More than two dozen hands-on attractions throughout 60,000 square feet of color await families at The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas. Bigger, brighter and bolder than ever, the adventures of Crayola Experience help kids and adults alike explore art and technology, express their creativity, and experience color in a whole new way. Also featuring live entertainment and The Crayola Store with the world’s largest selection of Crayola products and unique souvenirs.
Watch the live theater Crayon Factory Show to see how crayons are made. Step into a virtual rainbow waterfall of melted wax or make a life-sized kaleidoscope of yourself!
Visitors can melt crayons into 3D works of art as they draw with warmed crayon holders. Kids can also mold crayons into a new shape or spin and paint your own Crayola wax masterpiece. There are so many things to do with melted crayons and you will leave with some great art souvenir!
Get hands-on by creating your own crayon name and printed wrap. You choose the color and the words for it to print, then use the wrapping machine to roll the wrap onto the crayon.
Kids will love the virtual activities such as seeing themselves on screen in a melted Crayola waterfall and other fun virtual experiences.
Crayola Experience has an indoor playground and café so you can stay and play all day. Take a break from playing and stop for lunch at the Cafe for pizza, chicken strips, salads and more! The Crayola Store is a great place to stop at the end of your visit for Crayola souvenirs, art kits, and a rainbow of fun activities.
