The bright colors will welcome you as you make your way to the attractions. From the massive Color Playground to the Colossal Caddy, filled with thousands of crayons and coloring pages – you might have a hard time deciding where to start first.
All of the stations are hands-on and interactive – so if your kids like to stay busy and touch everything, you’re in luck.
They have posted instructions and they are easy enough for even the little ones to catch on without much lead.
At the Color Magic station, your coloring pages will come to life.

Another activity that you’ll spend a lot of time at creating was the Art Alive area.

Things to Know About Crayola Experience Plano
Here are some helpful things to know when planning your visit to Crayola Experience Plano –
Bring Your Own Bag – Each person receives a bag when you enter Crayola Experience Plano, but I’d suggest bringing an additional bag, purse or maybe a bookbag. We made so many great pieces of art during our visit that I wanted to keep them all safe and flat during our time there!
Tickets Are Good All Day – Crayola Experience Plano is attached to the Shops at Willowbend and admission tickets are good throughout the day, so you can come and go as you please making this great for families looking to shop during their visit too.
Hungry? Check out Cafe Crayola – Cafe Crayola, the on-site dining spot features pizza, salads and plenty of great snacks. The Trading Post also sells Icees (with fun, color names) and tons of popcorn with a souvenir bucket too.
Upgrade to Annual Pass – If you think you’ll be in the area numerous times over the next year, I’d highly suggest upgrading your daily ticket to an annual pass. The prices are affordable and it is worth the upgrade!
Save Time for the Gift Shop – Like all good attractions, the exit is located through the gift shop. And this one is colorful and filled with unique souvenirs. For the ultimate takeaway, check out the Pick Your Pack display. Choose from a small or large container and pack your container of a variety of colors.
