As you enter Crayola Experience Orlando, FL you will be welcomed by bright colors, 3D Crayons and a stanchion line to purchase tickets.

Purchasing tickets was quick and easy. However you can score discounted tickets on their Website if you purchase before you arrive. We used a coupon for $4.00 off up to four people that we got in our local mail. I would also check Groupon and other similar sites for the best deal before you buy tickets.

Included with your ticket purchase price you will get a plastic goody bag and two silver tokens. The tokens can be used at Modeling Madness and Wrap It Up. More on token use below.

Large Bags will be searched due to safety rules. It's a quick process and then you are off to the Experience.

To begin choose your color.
Put One Token in the machine.
Choose your shape.
Type your Crayon name.
Approve and Print.
Grab your Crayon label and Crayon.
Head over to the wrapping machine.

We loved making our own Crayon names up. Here is what our crew came up with

You can purchase other colors for an additional .50 each. There are machines by MODELING MADNESS that you can insert a dollar into to get more coins.

At the CRAYON FACTORY you will watch a LIVE show featuring a Crayonologist (staff member) and Scarlet & Turk (Red & Turquoise digital Crayons).
The show begins with a short video about the history of crayons. Next the Crayonologist comes out and goes through the process of making a crayon. She pours the wax, scrapes off the excess and then lets them dry. Next the new crayons are "born" by dumping them onto the table and everyone yells Happy Birthday!! Cute!
Next we watch the crayons get sorted to weed out the defected crayons. Then the crayons go through the wrapping machine to get their labels attached. 

At the end of the show everyone gets a Crayon souvenir! We saw the red crayons being born so we each got a red crayon! What a neat surprise!

At MODELING MADNESS you can use a Crayola token to purchase model magic clay. Just walk up to the clay vending machine, choose the color you want and press the coordinating buttons to purchase the clay. Then you pick a table to sit at and work on your creations. On the table there are complimentary tools to use to roll, cut and shape your clay.

At ART ALIVE you sit at a table full of individual touchscreens and create digital art. You can draw your own image or select an image to color in. There are so many fun color options from regular colors to glitter. Next you choose an animation you would like your image to have and then you project it on the wall.

The coolest feature is walking up to the wall and interacting with your digital drawing. You can move your drawing around on the wall by swiping your image and if you tap your image you will see your chosen animation bring your digital drawing to life. Super cool technology!

At TODDLER TOWN children ages 1-3 can play and enjoy the smaller sized play area. There is a fun ball drop activity, little dog chairs, and a jumbo lite brite wall that is sure to keep toddlers entertained!

My big kids loved the lite brite wall. There are jumbo clear colored pegs that you stick into the black wall. They light up when inserted. My crazy kids learned they can stick their finger in the slots to light up their finger too. As you can see the doggy chairs are quite small. This area is definitely tailored for toddler fun. The miniature sized playground looked fun as well but we stopped by to look but didn't stay long because our youngest is 8. 

At SCRIBBLE SQUARE there are fun dry erase style items to draw and color on. Such as a dog, car, mailbox and trees. Along with a chalk board floor and walls you can also write and draw on. There are complimentary buckets of dry erase markers, crayons and chalk for you to use. This activity is a Florida Native and is only available at Crayola Experience in Orlando, FL

COLOR MAGIC is another cool high tech activity that is fun for the whole family!

First, you color a coloring page. The day we went you could choose from a beast or a princess. There are plenty of tables with complimentary crayons to sit at and color your creations. We noticed that you only really need to color the main character as that is all that will be MAGICALLY used.

Next, you take your coloring page to the Computer Station with touchscreens and touchmats and press start. No Seats available? No problem just check the back side for more touchscreens!

You will be asked to place your coloring page on the mat and the computer will scan it. After scanning you can bring your art to life by adding a background and animation. When you are finished playing with your art you can choose to take a picture of your art or even a selfie! Which can then be emailed to you.

The email you receive with your selfie from crayola is short and sweet. Plus, I got it right away!

At YOU DESIGN you get to watch your coloring pages come alive digitally on the projected wall. This activity is a Florida Native and is only available at Crayola Experience in Orlando, FL.

To begin: Pick your coloring page. Choose from a girl or a car or truck.
Color your page with the complimentary Crayons.
Then bring it to the scanning station and scan it into the computer.
Add accessories and your own unique style.
Then post it to the wall to watch your art come alive.
The car and truck will run a course and the girl will walk the runway in a fashion show.
But the best is yet to come...

The coolest part about YOU DESIGN is the individual stations where you can try on your outfit and/or pose beside your coloring page creation!

Using Xbox One Kinect technology you again scan your coloring page and then you can move around, spin and even dance in your design! The car and truck image works similarly but it's more of a stand and pose next to it instead of wear it. You choose a background and animations too! Lastly, take a picture with and type in your email address to send it to yourself. What a cool memento!

STOMP & PLAY was a huge hit with the younger kids. My oldest wasn't too impressed. To play, just stomp, step, jump and dance on the interactive floor. The scenes change over time so there is plenty of fun interaction to play here for a while.
