We were told that the pots aren't particularly hot, since Crayons have a surprisingly low melting point, something that any parent with a clothes dryer knows all too well. Crayola brings that back in an area titled "Crayola Meltdown," where kids can dip long Q-tips into pots of melted crayon soup - child-safe behind plexiglass - to make their own art. One highlight of the old tour was the unmistakable, reassuring smell of warm crayons. On our last visit, one worker told us that we could eat 3,500 crayons and still not get as many toxins as are in a single glass of city drinking water.Ībove the factory demonstration, a large electronic counter flashes the ever-climbing quantity of crayons in the world, nearing 146 billion when last we peeked. Video crayon characters swap banter with the live employees, and downtime is filled with old Crayola commercials. Visitors can watch Crayola workers ("Crayonologists") pour buckets of melted wax into molds to make smoking-hot Crayola crayons, all child-safe behind plexiglass shields and warning signs. Over a decade later, the attraction had morphed yet again into "The Crayola Experience," a purposefully vague title for a place that's cheerfully soft-edged and nontoxic.Ĭrayola has moved some of the machinery from the Factory to the Experience to create a tour-lite demonstration area. So it's not surprising that the Crayola factory tour, once a highlight of anyone's trip to Easton, Pennsylvania, became "The Crayola Factory," a downtown attraction that in fact was not a factory at all. Child safety is a particular worry if the factory makes something that's sold to kids. Each month, themes and projects change, giving visitors a variety of projects to create throughout the year.Everyone loves factory tours - except for the corporations that own the factories. **This is not the manufacturing plant, but instead a family attraction that allows the child inside each person to unleash its creative spirit.
