Originally opening as the Crayola Factory, the Crayola Experience is located at 30 Centre Square, [[Easton, Pennsylvania]], at Two Rivers Landing. Open to the public, the Crayola Experience is a roomy, crayon-centric warehouse including events, a café, a store, attractions, some familiarizing guests, and Crayola's history with products.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.crayola.com/factory/index.cfm|title=The Crayola EXPERIENCE at Two Rivers Landing|access-date=June 26, 2009}}</ref>

A "discovery center" was built that showcases the manufacturing process of crayons. There is also a "Crayola Hall of Fame" in which the retired crayon colors are displayed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.crayola.com/Factory/exhibits.cfm |title=The Crayola FACTORY® at Two Rivers Landing - Exhibits |access-date=December 22, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222090422/http://www.crayola.com/Factory/exhibits.cfm |archive-date=December 22, 2008 }}</ref>

The Crayola Experience was featured in a [[Food Network]] episode of ''[[Dinner: Impossible]]''. A dinner was held for 150 employees of the Crayola Experience to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 64-box of crayons. Chef [[Michael Symon]]'s mission was to create an eight-course [[tasting menu]] for this event, where all eight items of the menu had to match eight randomly chosen Crayola crayon colors.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.foodnetwork.com/dinner-impossible/crayon-craziness/index.html |title=Crayon Craziness : Dinner: Impossible : Food Network |access-date=January 29, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081224141737/http://www.foodnetwork.com/dinner-impossible/crayon-craziness/index.html |archive-date=December 24, 2008 }}</ref>
