I love Crayola for my family. We are local in Bloomington. The annual passes are such a great deal. I really appreciate the indoor playground. Edinborough is nice, but it is expensive for family. The zoo just doesn’t have good indoor play options. I like that you can do both quiet art activities and wild play activities at the same place. We go at least once a week - especially in winter. During the week it is not busy at all.
Amazing experience for kids, interesting things to do and play for kids, annual passes can be taken if you live in the area, enough seating space , staff is good !!
Really cool place. Very conveniently located inside of the Mall of America with lots of different areas for kids to do different activities
Amazing!! The most versatile and well rounded attraction at the mall of America. There is something for EVERYONE to do there. I enjoyed myself just as much, if not more, than my kids. Definitely worth the money.
A crayon lovers dream, the gift shop offers coloring book, merchandise, and of course lots and lots of crayons. Prices were high with the build your own box being very expensive with few box options. Otherwise fun to look around and experience the encompassing smell of crayons.
My wife and I visited with our kids (5 and 2) and my sister and brother-in-law. The kids loved it. There are so many creative, hands-on activities for all abilities. There are also play structures for big and little kids, which was great to get out some energy. The adults had a good time too - we especially enjoyed making our own custom crayon labels and spin art. We bought a combo pass with the aquarium which made tickets for each under $20. Well worth the cost for a nice family time during a road trip.
Need friendlier and more interactive employees.
I think of Crayola as the best crayon in the world. So in theory they should have the best crayon staff/cast in the world right? Very much not so.
They were not rude, but no one seemed happy or excited to be there. Especially at a child focused activity center, everyone could use some training or replacing. Most everyone there seemed like they were just doing their job and collecting a paycheck.
From buying tickets, to getting help with some of the activities, no one was enthusiastic or even smiled. What could have been special moments were made just transactional.
It was not even busy either, look at my pictures, the place was empty. Employees were either standing around, talking with other employees instead of guests, or playing on their phones.
I would have returned had the staff been more interactive for a almost $30 per person ticket. Overall you get like maybe, MAYBE, $10 worth of fun stuff to do, so experience needs to be the focus of the staff.
