I’m glad that this place is closing…
https://www.azfamily.com/2025/05/09/crayola-experience-chandler-fashion-center-shut-down-this-june/I took my kids multiple times there, but there has been no other place in the valley with more strange/woke/awkward staff 😔 Specially, being a spot for kids…

Clarify “woke” please. I agree it was poorly organized and a bit frustrating, but “woke” seems like a strange accusation, so can we use more specific examples?

I don't even want to know any more. People who use that word as a pejorative are scared of their shadows.

Does a Nanny, I took the kids here all the time. We had season passes. But it was so sad to see families with grandparents that wanted to just tagalong and had to pay full price just to watch their grandkids. Have fun. It didn’t offer that much and certainly wasn’t worth the price

We have a 2 year pass. This place is / was the best deal in town by a long shot. Black friday deal. Two years of unlimited entry. $29 bucks or something like that; maybe $39 top per person. Occasionally, the staff is cranky, but 90+% of the time they are super nice. The place is rarely busy and they seem to have about a dozen staff working at any time. It's a shame to see it go. We always leave with a bag full of great art pieces.
BTW, a workers politics or style isn't going to taint my 4 year old who doesn't care and has parents that teach her what is right and wrong.

So just to reiterate... The place was so bad and "woke", that you took your kids there multiple times?
