Welcome to The Crayola FACTORY

Your Visit to The Crayola FACTORY®

Located in eastern Pennsylvania along the New Jersey border, the Lehigh Valley region is home to the three cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton. It is the third largest metro region in the state and has over a half-million residents. Visitors to the region will find no shortage of activities to keep them busy on an overnight or weekend trip.

Popular attractions include the rides and waves at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown, a behind-the-scenes factory tour at the C.F. Martin Guitar Co. in Nazareth, hands-on science learning at the Da Vinci Science Center in Allentown and furry creatures of all shapes and sizes at the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Schnecksville.

The Lehigh Valley is also well known for its many festivals including Mayfair in Allentown over Memorial Day weekend, Musikfest in downtown Bethlehem, a 10-day festival of the arts and music in early-August, and Celtic Classic, a celebration of Irish culture, also in downtown Bethlehem in late-September. Outdoor activities include skiing, snow tubing and snow boarding at two mountains in the winter, and hiking, biking and fishing along the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers in the summer.
