Museum Exhibit

😐 This is a place for kids! Yes, yes it's crowded but if you wanna enjoy with your kids something fun and different, this is a good place to go!. In comparison with the ice cream museum, I'd choose this one for sure. Every room has their own style and you don't have "empty" space to get bored at all!....

    This is a place for kids! Yes, yes it's crowded but if you wanna enjoy with your kids something fun and different, this is a good place to go!. In comparison with the ice cream museum, I'd choose this one for sure. Every room has their own style and you don't have "empty" space to get bored at all!. Of course you have candy, chocolates, lollipops and more to take and enjoy! IMPORTANT: There is only ONE restroom in the 3rd room for everyone. I do appreciate that this is informed as soon as the experience begins. (They inform were is the restroom, not that is only one.) I didn't liked that it wasn't clean and you could tell it hadn't been cleaned since the morning. For adults my recommendation is for you to go in the first hour of the morning (LITERALLY only the first hour) or at night because probably there won't be as many kids as in the middle of the day. Good experience. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Went two days in a row. Took my youngest the first time and then both the second. We had such a good time we went back. Not cheap but not expensive. They do a great job and it’s very entertaining for kids 2-10 years. Lots of engagement and fun activities. Didn’t leave with a ton of candy or anything but that’s okay. If you need something to do for 30-60 mins it’s a great activity. Majority of staff were very friendly and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. Recommend!

    It was okay. It's really for children. I loved the masterpieces made out of candy and all the free candy I got. The customer service was very good. They have an amazing staff that helped with finding children who strayed away from their parents and willingly took pictures of people. I'm not a kid person so I won't be going back. I do recommend this place if you have kids that you need to entertain for an hour or two.

    Great experience! Amazing idea! I went with my 6y.o. Sister and she had a blast. They have tons of free candy in almost every room. While kids get to enjoy hands on exhibits, parents enjoy exhibits that are 100% made out of candy. That is totally insane! The amount of time and candy it took to build each project! Each room has a theme. The place itself is nice for cute photos. Merchandise is cute and reasonable price. My sister especially loved the marshmallow pit. Oh and I think there are 5 or 6 spots where you can take photos from their camera and they are sent to you through email. So it’s great if you have a big group and want to get everyone in the picture!

    Really interesting and fun. Free candy in each room too. Lots of great photo ops and neat things to see and explore. A little underwhelming but for younger kids, I think it would be really magical

    So fun! I really wanted to go somewhere that was all about candy while we were in town. My girls are 12 & 14 and I was worried they'd be too old. They were the oldest there, but we had a blast! The staff was awesome and made the experience more enjoyable. I liked that we were able to go at our own pace. The marshmallow pit was the icing on the cake! Only wish they would have had women's or long sleeved t-shirts that had the New York included on them. Only saw men's. Definitely recommend!

    My experience at Candytopia was phenomenal. My daughter and I went on a Saturday. There was a short wait but the staff was very engaging and kept the children entertained before we entered. Upon entering it made me feel as if we were starring in Willy Wonks and the chocolate factory. Each room is magical and is filled with personality. The staff member who stood out the most was Lashawna who was extremely attentive and helpful for my daughter and I. All in all it was a great experience and I look forward to returning.

    This was one of the museums my son really wanted to visit while we were in NYC and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We bought our tickets in advance and had zero wait time when we arrived. The employees were kind and helpful with taking photos at the stations that were there and helpful in speaking about the exhibits. The exhibits were really cool. Some more than others but all in all a good time. Most rooms had a candy bin in which you were allowed to take a couple pieces but the offerings could have been a little higher quirkier for the admission.

    It was really fun. All the art pieces are made out of real candies. They allow you to touch the pieces. Get to take a lot of photos to purchase later. Plan to spend an hour or more to get the full experience.

    This was a great experience, the staff was all very friendly and helpful. So many fun photo opportunities. I attended with my 16 year old daughter, we both really enjoyed this experience. So much candy given throughout this experience. Definitely well created, done, and worth the money. I was very impressed with the whole experience abs would love to do this again.

    A completely different experience from what I thought it was. When my Sister-in-Law recommended this place to my wife, I thought it was a candy museum. It is so much more. The Candy sculptures are beautiful and we'll put together. So many different activities for the kids and adults alike. We went with my niece and nephews. The best part is FREE CANDY IN EACH ROOM! 😋😋😋😋😋

    I loved this. It was very different and gave me a Willy wonka type scenery. I highly would recommend going at least one and/or take kids to it. You get to try sweets and explore. I really did enjoy it and so did my boyfriend. Great date.

    Candytopia would be a great experience for families with young children looking for something different to do. Though I was weary of how I would fare in here not fitting into the target audience, I still had fun! I honestly didn't know what to expect and found myself living my inner child as I ventured room to room. I really loved the interactive rooms and the wonderful photo ops along the way - my favorite is a tie for the swings or the zip line! There were some really impressive displays of candy out there from the dragon in room one to the aquarium room later on - definitely a lot of time and energy gone into placing all these tiny candies together! Oh and I loved the candy in each room, def had a nice heaping of sugar when I got home! I do wish there was more chocolate offered though :)

    Kids really enjoyed it and rushed thru the next exciting room in under 30 mins. Wish we could have gone back to see the rooms some more, but you can't go backwards, however kids really enjoyed their time. Saw ppl bring a bag for free candy, thats a good idea. ps You can pay $20 a person at the door if cash.

    Candytopia is for all ages. Very fun place for children, too. Free candy in each room. The interactive exhibits are a feast for the senses, from the life-sized candy sculptures to the chocolate waterfall. I particularly loved the edible art gallery, where you can create your own candy-inspired masterpieces. The staff is warm and welcoming, and they go above and beyond to ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. The cleanliness of the space is also impressive, considering the amount of sugar and sweets involved! Overall, Candytopia is a unique and unforgettable experience that's worth every penny. Whether you're a kid at heart or just looking for a fun and colorful escape, Candytopia is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings and leave you smiling from ear to ear.

  • 5/5 Shermin J. 1 year ago on Google
    It was fun but it's but it's not all the candy you want and bring your own bag to get alot of candy. The girl in the library was nasty to the kids. Overall it's was fun took us an hour to get to the end.

  • 5/5 Jessica G. 4 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    This place was awesome. The rooms were entirely made out of candy. I was really impressed. The one negative was the free candy didn't taste well. The candy store they have had tons of unique candy. I definitely recommend this museum.

  • 3/5 Luisa P. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall experience was great but not amazing! I went with my family & the staff looked bored, like they didn’t like their jobs. Tickets are a bit pricey being that is mainly for kids! But the kids had a blast. There’s candy in each room & they take your photos through a QR code which was cool also.

  • 5/5 Danielle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Parents you have to take your kids fun fun fun. The staff is great. Lots of fun stuff all made from candy and there are interactive things to do. I just want to add go to save Ella's eyesight on go fund me organized by Fang He. Many thanks.

    By far one of the best experiences this summer thus far with my family...you get candy in every room, there is so much to see hear and do. Everything is made of candy which is even more awesome...1 hour and half will spent.

  • 4/5 Javier C. 8 months ago on Google
    Fun for the family to enjoy. 17 different rooms. There is a bathroom in the 4th room to use.

  • 5/5 Quinn D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool experience if you like candy and art. A cool mashup. You can’t eat it but they do give you samples the whole way thru and you can buy candy at the end in the gift shop. A lot of differently themed rooms to check out. There is even a marshmallow pit at the and and a little zip line. Photo ops through available for purchase. Some shots could be worth it. Would go back!
