We were checking out the mall where this was and came across the Crayola Store. We'd been to the Crayola Experience in Pennsylvania the previous year and our kid loved it, so we thought she'd like this. She did! But it was kind of strange in a way and definitely different. First, this is a store, not an attraction/thing for kids to do. Second, it seemed like more of the store was empty than it should have been. Still, they had enough stuff to keep my kid interested, and I dont even think she saw everything. Strangely enough, there is an adjacent store that sells baby/toddler clothing and you can walk from one right to the other. Still, if you have a kid who is creative and likes to color/draw, this would be a good place to check out. read more

This Crayola store is located on second floor of the Crown Center. It is free to enter. This place mostly has Crayola products. There are also some arts and crafts goods, toys and books. Throughout the store there are some unique display arts as well like the Crayola spiral color wheel and the fun facts tower. When we were at the store, there were multiple staff members working. One disappointing observation was a lot of the shelves were empty in the store. But the store still got plenty of visitors as kids love Crayola and a lot of the items were available for a price higher than places like Walmart and Amazon. read more

Lady working there was very nice, but the area looks a bit worn and floors a bit dirty, also kind of small selection of products read more

Crayola Store - shopping area - Art Supplies Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Puzzles, play things, plush toys, paint kits, and projects. And, of course, crayons. There are books, stickers, and toys too. And while most of the stock consists of Crayola licensed items, there are plenty of other brands also. This is part play space, too, as there are white boards for drawing, and puzzle faces to make. read more

I don't care how old you are - this store is just FUN. And I think every store for kids should be this specific: a store for crayons and coloring, a store for footballs, a store for barbies - everything magnified in focus. The result of a crayon store can be nothing other than an explosion of color. In its entirety, the Crayola Store is a decadent display of creativity and youth. It was designed as if a three ten year olds were asked to put a store together - it is built to inspire and it does the job. I appreciate most of all the interaction that the store promotes for children. There is a coloring corner with the world's supply of crayons and paper at the fingertips of the kids who enter the store, maybe with their mom to run errands at Crown Center or maybe after eating at the neighboring Crayola Cafe. There are stations of Crayola trivia and puzzles and games built throughout the store for kids to 'find' while wandering around - if I had visited this place as a kid, I think I would have hidden away there. I would have wanted to live there - it's paradise for a kid. The women working the counters have that upbeat personality I would assume a crayon sales person to have! They're energetic and don't make you feel like a 'grazer' if all you do is go in to play for a little while without purchasing anything. Not all of the children's stores at Crown Center have as kid-friendly a staff as Crayola, let me tell you. I'm thinking of Zoom, across the hall on the second floor, where the cashier could burn a laser with that stare of hers - no thank you lady. They encourage play, they know their merchandise like the back of their hand, they are consistent and I appreciate a store that cultivates such harmless and positive fun. While I was there last week I even saw a kids party in the 'party room' of the store, which is made entirely of glass so that the party-goers can see the store while they eat cake and open presents. I never had a birthday anywhere other than my dining room table, so I thought it was pretty cool. read more

The Crayola Store down in Crown Center is kid heaven. Thank goodness I can still be a kid because this place rocks. The best part about the Crayola has to be the 4 sided coloring easles/walls where you can let your coloring creativity go wild. The whole shop (including the shelves) is spaced out too, just begging for kids to run around back forth. They pretty much endorse the thing. It's such a fun shop and don't miss the color wheel. That's a doozy. read more

Kid Heaven? I had to laugh when I read that because I must be a kid then. I (emphasis I) was in heaven at the Crown Plaza Crayola store because there were so many COLORS!!! So many cool Crayola products all in one place. We found special edition crayon packs there that I've never seen anywhere else and 6 years later I still get exited about using even though the crayons are just nubs now. The store is so bright and colorful and there's cool things for the kids to do in the store. read more

Pretty cool place to go before or after you go to the Crayola Cafe. We didn't buy anything but it was really cool to look and also read all the fun facts on the displays, like that Mr. Rogers was color blind and liked the color Yellow because it was one that he could see really well. I was like HUH I never knew he was color blind. I still love the simple and more connected feeling you get when you color and draw with crayons. read more

I love Crayola just about as much as a 4 year old, but I was really disappointed in this store. I don't know if my expectations were too high, but I heard good things about it and was expected to be blown away especially from a specialty store. I liked the displays and the neat information about crayons and the process but it wasn't spectacular. Ttheir stock was very low among a variety of products and it seemed like all of the things I was interested in were unavailable. In the middle of the day when someone should be putting out more stock no one was. Not to mention, there weren't any sales associates to help me if I were looking for anything specific. The cashier was nice but she was the only one who I saw working in the store. Also, there wasn't anything at this store that I couldn't have bought while out at target. read more

I have lived at SantaFePlace attached to Crown Ctr. (KCMO) & shopping Crayola for years with my grandkids. Last weekend, I had a horrible exp. I shopped with my grandkids for 1/2+hrs., brought the items to the counter. 1st the male sales rep. was completely rude. After ringing everything up 200$ worth, I asked for my 10% discount because I live there. He didn't know that which I have received before. Then would not take my son's card, which I have used there before-same name -his kids. He called the manager over & she was worse. So you lost a 200$ sale, the folks working there are inexperienced & mean. I went to Toy Time a few doors down, got my discount & they took my son's card. These employees were extremely unprofessional & rude to my 3&5yrs. & made them cry! Horrible experience. read more

If you need any color of crayon, come here. They also have a "cafe", I did not venture to try it though. read more

I was really looking forward to seeing this. I'm into coloring and was hoping to pick up some unique things. The store front is bright and easy to spot. Inside the store is pretty old. It needs a big remodel. The age shows on the store. I was hoping for a more fun environment, but it was lacking. I love the amount of items they have, they are just to scattered around the store. The variety is good. Really good. But for some reason I felt like I was missing something. Like it had a sad worn feeling. It should be organized by coloring products to books to other merchandise. The crayons in the tubes are bleached due to them being in there so long. The way it's advertised makes it seem like you must stop here. This store has so many possibilities, which is probably why it seems so disappointing. I was expecting more unique one of a kind items. Like extra organized storage for crayons or other items. I won't give it one star because I really loved the staff. They are very very friendly and that makes the store. They keep the store extremely organized. Nothing's out of place and they can help you find what your looking for. I was just hoping that a store that has a restaurant would have more to it. Maybe even a video playing of crayons being made in the factory. I will stop back. I hope to see more. read more
