The Experience
Before You Go

Purchase your paper ticket online to reduce queue time and lock in arrival during less-crowded windows.
Visit off-peak hours
Aim for weekday afternoons or early mornings to avoid weekend crowds and long demo lines.

The attraction is indoors and active; reducing single-use plastic keeps kids hydrated and waste down.
Supervise young children
Children 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times; plan meeting points for larger groups.

Conservation Note
Bring reusable bottles and dispose of wax remnants in provided bins; the attraction and mall run standard waste-management programs, so minimizing single-use items helps reduce waste.
Crayola began as Binney & Smith in 1903; the Crayola Experience centers were developed later to bridge manufacturing history and hands-on creativity for visitors.
