Color Factory NYC

You've probably seen the photos online.  Super cool candy-colored photographs of this place called "The Color Factory."  It was a West Coast thing for a long time and then I heard that it was finally coming to NYC!  Well, I knew that I had to book tickets and go!  And so we did.  And it was super duper fun!  Take a peek:

Paper strips hanging from the sky!  Giant color buttons on the walls!

You have a timed ticket when you visit The Color Factory.  And you walk at your own pace through a variety of rooms.  You can take as much time as you like traveling through the various rooms, but you can't go backwards.  There are activities.  And food.  And drinks.

And weird enigmatic text that might be deep and might be a load of crap....

The ball pit was definitely my favorite part of the whole thing.  I was too old for ball pits when they came around in the late 80s/early 90s.  So I never went in one as a kid.  It was super fun to splash around in the balls as an adult!

Everything about the experience had a pop art element. It was super fun and I highly recommend it!

I'm always willing to be a little bit goofy, but The Color Factory 100% brought out the kid in me!  It was a place to play!

As I mentioned, there was lots of food.  The belt of macarons was straight out of my Willy Wonka fantasies.

I did a vlog back when we visited The Color Factory.  If you'd like to see the ball pit in action and hear us play beautiful music, take a peek (fast forward to the 3:13 mark if you just want to see Color Factory):

Thanks for stopping by!
