Crayola Factory, PA

The other place in Pennsylvania I’d like to tell you about is Crayola Factory.

At the Crayola Factory, your only creative limitation is your imagination.

Come and see how Crayola crayons and markers are made and learn about the history of the Crayola brand on this self-guided tour.  At each creative space, you will be

immersed in color and creativity and invited to play and explore while learning and having lots and lots of fun.  

Lots of interactive activities for kids age 10 and under like the glow-in-the-dark coloring, creating with modeling clay, sidewalk coloring, making your own puzzles, arts & crafts. You can even make your own binoculars! The kids also enjoy the treasure hunt for crayons!  There are three floors of activities, which allow the young ones to use many of the products sold by Crayola. The kids will leave with several treats that are included in the price of admission. 

At the Crayola Store, next door to the factory, you will be able to see the world's largest crayon and purchase a few fun items for creative art projects at home.

For directions and opening hours please go to http://www2.crayola.com/factory/about_us.cfm.

After Crayola you can go to the National Canal Museum located a few miles from the Crayola Factory in Hugh Moore Park and take a 30 minutes mule-drown canal ride on the Josiah White II boat with costumed interpreters describing life on the canal. Just remember this ride is avaliable during summer months only, so hurry.

A combination ticket for a boat ride and admission to The Crayola Experience is available from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
