Last Saturday, we didn't have any plans for the day and I remembered an article I saw on TONY Kids about the Crayola Factory, as I was glancing through the pages.However, the only thing I remembered about its location was that it was at downtown. Naturally, I thought it was somewhere at Manhattan's downtown and at the same time I was wondering why I hadn't heard of this place before. I found the magazine and
oops! to my surprise it was actually on the Getaways page and it turned out to be at Easton, PA. Well, that at least explained the question in my mind .
So we decided to take this trip the next day and we drove only 1.5 hours to get there. It's called a Factory but it's not where the manufacturing is made although you can watch live demonstrations. It's a hands-on discovery center for kids and even I had a few arts and crafts to bring home. You can create anything using their latest products and yes! you don't have to clean up after you're finished. The top 2 floors are the National Canal Museum where little ones can play with boats through a replica of a canal while learning so much from coal mining in the early 1900's to currents and transportation of canal boats.
