If you're looking for something a bit more educational in your day take a trip all the way to the top floor where you'll find the Canal Museum. There are several very large floors of arts, crafts & activites to keep you busy for anywhere from a few hours or from opening until closing - which is what we did! We didn't sit through the making of crayons/markers the second time as it's a very short "show" run by one of the employees (they stopped running actual factory tours years ago). We've been to the Crayola Factory twice now and the kids have had a blast both times. Overall a good trip, just not exactly what I thought it would be like. Lots of projects to do throughout the factory. We received a couple of freebies (4 crayons, a marker, and some of Crayola's modeling clay). It wasn't too impressive for the kids and definitely not the highlight of our trip. We were a bit disappointed in the making of the crayons as we had to watch sitting down on bleaches behind glass. We went on a Tuesday and was very glad that the factory was not busy. I took my 1,3,& 5 year old to the factory and we had a great time. Check out local advertisements for buy one get one coupons. But you can always go and see the mules and play at the park without actually getting on the boat. You get lots to take home here! There is a trolley that can take you to the canal ride which I'd only reccommend for maybe 2nd/3rd grade and up.
There are only so many times one can sit through a presentation on how we make a crayon, although that is good because it is very interesting and brief enough for kids. My kids (7,4,1) are drawn to the balls and dancing light screen, etc. This is more of a fun field trip than overly educational I'd say. It is not a good idea to go when there are a lot of field trips, however, because the place just gets too crazy and crowded, so I would call and inquire about that first.
They could play for hours and learn about the canal system while doing it. My kids' favorite part is the canal museum on the top floor (included in admission). I can't even remember how many times we've been to the crayola factory now. Each creative space invites you to play and explore while learning and having lots and lots of fun. You can color, draw and create with the latest Crayola® product without the worry of cleanup afterwards. If you haven't been to The Crayola Factory yet, you don't want to miss this hands-on discovery center for children and the adults in their lives that provides creative personal development experiences extends Binney & Smith's Crayola® brand: its products, its history and its role in arts education and supports the economic revitalization of Easton and the Lehigh Valley.Īt the Crayola Factory, you will be immersed in color and creativity-a place where your only creative limitation is your imagination.
