Crayola LLC, in association with Max-Matching Entertainments Co., Ltd., announced today that Beijing will welcome the Crayola Experience family entertainment venue as part of a new international IP FEC (family entertainment center) complex, Top Park, set for operation in 2026. Serving as destinations for interactive creative play for more than 25 years, Crayola Experience helps kids and adults alike explore art and technology, express their creativity, and experience color in a whole new way. This announcement marks the creativity brand’s first deal for an international Crayola Experience location.

Alongside Crayola, the international IP FEC complex, located north of Universal Beijing Resort within the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center, will include five major IP-themed FECs, a themed hotel, a commercial street, and a business center, helping drive increased culture and tourism to the region from China and throughout the world. The new 40,000-square-foot Crayola Experience will provide diverse family-centered experiences including creativity-forward interactive activities with Crayola core products, animation theaters, color labs, and customized products, empowering children to draw their own colorful world with Crayola.
