Chandler, AZ, location. All staff members were attentive, kind, and patient. Under 3 years old are free, but the activities are for about 4 years old and older. You get two tokens per person to make/label/wrap your personalized crayon, or buy a dough packet from the dispenser. The activities are half sit-down and color, draw, or make and half interactive (design your own clothes, print photograph). If you plan to go often, it’s worth buying the annual pass. Good indoor activity for a rainy day. Gift shop has cool products. Crayons and markers are priced higher than a typical retail store, but that was to be e texted. No outside food/drinks are permitted, and there’s is expensive.
Took my 3 year old niece here for the first time today. Yes my niece had a great time, but that was because they had the playground area. I could have gone to Chuckee Cheese for that. After reading all the reviews from several months ago the place still needs some upgrading. TORN PLAY AREA, USE OF DUCK TAPE, NOT ENOUGH STAFF OR ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE AND CERTAIN SECTIONS WERE CLOSED.
This is a must go if you have children or grandchildren! So much to see and do. The staff are some of the nicest people I’ve met. We spent hours there and the kids had a ball. So many good things to say I can’t pick one thing that was the best. Maybe the play scape?
🖍️❤️Melting, Markers, and Drawing… is just the start of things you will find here. Watch our video to see 5 unique activities you will only find here.
You can expect to stay 4 hours to a full day here with kids. There are 3 floors of activities, which include climbing play spaces, spiral art, neon glow in the dark wax painting, a water play space, and much more!
The kids can make a crayon with their own name on it, take a photo and turn it into coloring pages, mine for gems (additional 💰), and make your own collectible Crayola experience flattened pennies (for those collectors like you).

Even though it says you can’t bring food in, we saw families find a spot to eat their own lunch they brought. Which makes sense because cause the food in the cafe is laughably expensive.

This place is the very definition of rip off. After paying $70 for admission and entering (2 adults one child, since the other under 3 not included) you have to then pay individually for just about every little thing you do inside. They nickel and dime everywhere and anywhere from being insanely understaffed (staff is rude and act annoyed with you) to many things being broken/out of service. It’s also way overcrowded and ridiculously long lines for every type of activity. Young kids aren’t the patient type. Why is there popcorn and candy in each section? 2 out of the 4 ski ball machines were broken and both myself and another mom lost money on them. Staff was very reticent to refund us and eventually put on signs that the machines were out of order. You “win” tickets similar to a Chuck E Cheese however there are very limited selections of “prizes” and most cost hundreds upon hundreds of tickets (21 tickets got my child a tiny box of pencils and blank paper. Just don’t bother giving tickets). The cafe also had a super long line and they were out of almost everything. I paid almost $60 ($57.20 to be exact) for two orders of frozen nuggets with fries and two cheeseburgers with fries. It was all inedible. Only reason I’m giving 2 stars vs one is due to the playground on the 3rd floor. Save your money and go just about anywhere else.
Very nice place for kids to spend indoor activities. They have four levels of Crayola activities, and on the 2nd floor, there was a fun snow globe where one kids can go inside and throw snow. The downside is when we went during winter break, and everything had a long line and overcrowded.
It's a great place to bring your kids here.
The wait sometimes could be long, especially during the weekend, but
The staff are so attentive and patient! The floor design is well and clear, and the activities are really entertaining.(Some with a seasonal version). My kid loves to come here all the time.
