Crayola Experience Orlando – Orlando, Florida

Discover the Crayola Experience in Orlando, Florida

Step into a world bursting with color at the Crayola Experience Orlando, the ultimate destination for creativity, color, and fun for the entire family. Located inside The Florida Mall, this immersive attraction combines art, technology, and imagination to bring the magic of Crayola to life.

Spread across 70,000 square feet, the Crayola Experience features dozens of interactive exhibits and activities that let kids and adults explore color and creativity in endless ways — from designing custom crayons and digital art to watching live demonstrations of how Crayola crayons are made.

Why it’s special: This isn’t just a museum — it’s a fully interactive playground for creativity. Families can make their own Crayola souvenirs, name their own crayons, and dive into hands-on exhibits that celebrate color, imagination, and fun.

History of the Crayola Experience

The Crayola Experience began in Easton, Pennsylvania, where the Crayola brand was born in 1903. Due to its popularity, additional locations opened in major U.S. cities, including Orlando — making it one of the few places outside Pennsylvania where guests can see a live crayon-making demonstration.

Crayola’s mission has always been to spark creativity in children and adults alike, and the Crayola Experience continues that legacy by turning the art of color into a day-long, interactive adventure.
