Crayola Experience Orlando

It's like a tourist attraction, but in the Florida Mall in Orlando. Walking up, it's visually appealing and fun. You go through the entrance and everything except the gift shop is on the second floor. There are two play areas, several hands-on activities with machines and bunches of tables each with different craft activities. The age set is probably like 20 and younger with 10 bring on the higher age end. It's very much for little kids, but perfect for little artists.

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 mall entrance.

My review for Crayola Experience Orlando 12/17 We had an absolutely amazing time at the Crayola Experience in Orlando! As a family who regularly visits the Easton location, we were thrilled to explore this one during our holiday vacation, and it did not disappoint. The experience is a perfect mix of fun, creativity and play for kids of all ages. There were so many interactive activities for my children to enjoy, from crafting to coloring and everything in between. The craft section was especially wonderful, filled with holiday-themed projects that kept my kids engaged and excited. The location itself was also impressively clean and well-maintained, which is always a huge plus. One of the highlights of the trip was the Meltdown Crayon section, where the kids had a blast creating their seahorse crayons. Unfortunately, the machine did overheat, which damaged the final product. However, the manager promptly stepped in to shut the machine down and the two employees working that station were truly amazing. They quickly replaced the crayons and made sure my kids left with beautiful creations for their memory boxes. Their kindness and attentiveness made a big difference and saved the day. The only downside to our visit was the food. We purchased pretzels for the kids, but sadly, they were far too hard to eat. After exchanging the first two, the replacements were still just as hard, so we decided not to try again. It was disappointing, especially for hungry kids who were having such a great time. That said, the overall experience was fantastic. We attended during the hours of 2-5:30 PM and the timing was perfect – it wasn’t crowded at all, which made it even more enjoyable for my family. My kids had an absolute blast and despite the minor food and machine issues, we left with big smiles and wonderful memories. Crayola Orlando is a must-visit for families looking for creative fun and we’ll definitely be back!

Lots to do for the whole family! I love the activities that kids are able to do and take home. I was nervous I was going to end up paying to gain entry then paying for everything inside but thankfully that wasn’t the case! We got to make crayon drip art, a custom crayon name, a molded crayon figure, a picture frame, and a little pet all included with admission. I’d say it was well worth it! And there’s other activities I didn’t mention that are also free and get you keepsakes to take home :)

I wanted to share my disappointment with my recent visit to your facility with my 8-year-old son. We were looking forward to making crayons, but instead of a live demonstration, we just watched a video. The slime room was closed during our visit and only opens on weekends, which was disappointing. We also found out that playing games comes with extra costs, which we hadn't expected. The space itself is pretty limited—only two floors, one for gifts and the other for activities. The crayon molds didn’t come out in the colors we anticipated, which was a letdown. As for the food, I wouldn’t recommend the pizza; it was worse than what you’d find at a convenience store. The $10 snack box was also disappointing, offering just a small applesauce, a pack of Goldfish, and a tiny cup for a drink. Considering the $29 admission for adults and the lack of activities, I felt it wasn’t worth it. I really wish we had chosen to spend our time elsewhere, as there are so many great options in Orlando. I’m left feeling like we wasted our $60 and would appreciate any information on getting a refund. Thank you for your attention.
