There are two rooms like this, in fact, so if you're visiting with younger children, bring another adult along if you can. One room looks like a floor-to-ceiling Nite Brite with unlimited design possibilities, another incorporates your sense of smell in exploring Houston, and another is a unique experience where you work with a partner. And while you're waiting for a free tablet to activate your token, enjoy choosing from myriad of flavors of macarons! We grabbed the watermelon flavor - it was delicious.Īfter activating your token, it's time to explore! I visited with my 3-year-old, but the exhibit's interactive elements appeal to kids and adults of all ages, especially teens with a love for Instagram and Snapchat. At each photo station, you scan your token and the high-quality image is then immediately sent to your email. In the first room, you will have the opportunity to activate a circular scanner for the numerous photo-ops scattered throughout Color Factory. Guests are allowed into the facility in waves to prevent a backlog of people this greatly enhances your experience and prevents you from feeling like a herd of cattle. As soon as you enter, enjoy mochi ice cream from My/Mo as you wait to enter.

The price may seem steep, but admission buys you more than just a tour of the facility. Keep this in mind when deciding whether you want to foot the bill for the tickets, which are $35 for adults and $25 for children ages 3-12. There are treats and freebies along the way as you venture through Color Factory's 20,000-square-foot facility.

Local collaborators include NASA, which arguably manifests in Color Factory's most stunning room and attraction sculptor Soo Sunny Park Harvey & John, Christine Wong Yap, Tout Suite, James Akers, and more. Each room in the exhibit has been carefully designed and decorated by a local organization or artist. What makes Color Factory shine is that it gives a unique platform to local artists.
