Loved this place. I did read every negative review on here before going and even though most of them are completely valid, I still loved it and had a great time. Yes it was warm, no it wasnt the most sanitary, yes 1 worker looked like maybe they hated their job but overall this is a really cute place. If you enjoy it for what it is, you will have a good time. My personal experience was great and I took my 13 year old and she also had a blast.

This is a must experience place. The concept is a good one that intrigues both children and adults. There are several sculptures throughout all built with candy. They all have a plaque that stays how many pounds of candy the creation took and how many man hours went into the project. You move from room to room and each room has its own theme with fun activities inside. They also offer pictures for no additional cost!! They use a lot of cool tricks when taking photos making each photo very unique, make sure you take the time to get them taken! The staff really seems to enjoy their job. They were very friendly and enthusiastic the whole time. Overall this is a great place to take the kids. You can expect the whole thing to be about 1.5-2 hours.

This place is a must go! It is a great place for all ages. I promise from toddlers to Seniors will enjoy the museum. You are not rushed and have the opportunity to take your time viewing the exhibits. I would never tell you the surprises, but just be prepared to take tons of photos. I would also suggest going during the week.

Candytopia has a lot of amazing pieces made out of candy. It also has free candy in almost every room. There are pictures booths in each room as well. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves candy. My favorite room was the marshmallow pit and my second favorite room was the candy shop at the end. Overall my girlfriend and I enjoyed ourselves and we are looking forward to next year.

This place is like a real life Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The good news is, all your children will come out alive! The concept is lots of little rooms with different themes with everything made from candy! After a while you’d think the concept would wear thin on the kids but it’s cleverly done so the kids are kept entertained throughout. The staff are unsurprisingly sweet (no pun intended). Around $20-25 dollars a ticket for adults and children with under 4’s being free. We went during the afternoon and it was really quiet. You’ll easily kill a couple of hours here and the staff won’t rush you from room to room. Free candy along the way is always a bonus! A good place to kill time with children while letting them run around without any stresses.

Candytopia was very cool. I wasnt sure what to expect but I had a lot of fun. Each room offers a different type of candy for you to snack on and there are a lot of cool works of candy art including a huge candy dragon and a knight with a shield. This place is perfect for families with young kids and there is even a cool marshmallow pit.

It was really cool and nice. Me and my friend got there a few minutes late but they still let us in for the time of our ticket stamp. You can also as your picture taken for free with the cameras they have their by using the barcode. The sculptures are great and amazing and you got free candy, however theyre only about 5 to 6 rooms. I guess I just expected more but I did have a good time!

Not as super amazing as I was hoping for. The staff seems tired and bored, and more like you are bothering them just by walking in the door. I feel the ticket price is a little bit high. Overall it was still a fun day out, and if you have a group of kids and are looking for something to do, this place would be a fun visit. Plenty of photo opportunities and things for kids to climb all over, and Lenox Mall is right around the corner for a quick bite after!

I loved it! Definitely a super fun experience. Staff and employees are very welcoming and friendly. Each exhibit is well thought out and very well made. I loved the confetti room the best. The great part about it is since they sell tickets in time slots, it isnt that crowded.. I didnt feel rushed to leave the separate exhibit rooms either. Everyone was able to take time with pictures and everything.

We drove from Tampa to Atlanta for this. It was the hottest day of the year in ATL. The AC wasnt working inside. The employees all had fans next to them. Chocolates they handed out were all melted. Some people got bags to put candy in while others received nothing. Then they sold $2 bottles of water from inside a cooler that wasnt working, the water was room temp. The displays were nice, but it didnt matter since we were in such a rush to get out of the hot building. Real disappointment.

This exhibit was well, SWEET! My daughter and I had such an amazing time visiting the different rooms and seeing all the different pieces of art, and of course getting candy! Very well put together. I recommend everyone check it out! The rainbow room and the marshmallow pit was our favorite part!

This place is so amazing. We went for my niece 1st birthday celebration and I believe the adults had more fun than her. It gets the kid in you excited. Wonderful family bonding place. Cant wait to visit it again. Highly recommend to parents and children or just friends wanting to get together and be a kid at heart again.

Get ready for the best time and most fun youre going to have this month. This experience was more than I hoped for and truly an imaginary experience. Each room is a different experience and I totally felt like I was walking through a Willy Wonkish chocolate factory...Candytopia is an extremely fun experience for all ages, solo goers or groups.The employees were full of energy and in character which helped create this imaginary world you were walking into. There was so much excitement as you walked through each room and experienced the interactive art installations!Reminder: This is a limited engagement in Atlanta and doors close June 2nd.I had so many fun moments in this confectionery wonderland, if I have to select a favorite it would be walking into the confetti room with the flying unicorn pigs, its a confetti explosion. The marshmallow pit was also a favorite.5 stars for this candy kingdom.

Cute place with everything covered in candy. I like the interactive part of this museum where you are actually allowed to touch the art. I want to point out that it is great place to take kids as its a modern day Willy Wonka Factory. The employees are energetic and friendly to help the experience even more special. Great place for adults to take Instagram worthy photos. Bonus is that every room has a piece of candy for you.

It is amazing! The staff is super nice. I would advice to stay in each room for longer. I know the excitement is high but do not rush through and make sure to use their photo services.

Its great for kids 10 or younger. 3 or 4 rooms but not as big as I thought. But if you love candy there is a big basket to take some in each room. Its an experience. Not worth $28 though.

I feel like it was just a bit pricey, but I had a great time. The rooms were fun and the employees were having a great time with the patrons and each other. They were willing to help take pictures and help with poses to make the pictures even better.

Candytopia was nice. Something different!Pros:*Free Candy*The staff was very nice.*It was very colorful.*We loved the photo opportunities.*It was informational. It gave info on each item made of candy of how it took and how many pieces were used.Cons:*It was soooo hot in the building.*They were slow to start.*We had to wait outside in the heat before going in.*It started out really crowded but thinned out as you go along the exhibits.*The ticket prices are overpriced in my opinion.

My kids and I had an amazing time. There was candy available in every room. They had swings, a foam pit and play areas. It was bright and colorful. We really enjoyed ourselves. Price is $$. Water was sold for $2. I bought as a souvenir.

A stroll down candy lane on any given day is always a whimsical adventure. I loved the energy in the atmosphere from the beginning to the end. The staff was truly amazing, excited and happy to be there. This exuberant energy made us just as excited and happy to be there as well.The art was fun, innovative and very creative. You sat there wondering how in the world any one could create such masterpieces. I loved that the pieces were diverse in every aspect. There was something for everyone.As we moved through the path I was simply amazed. I’m all about the interactive interactions and that is one of the positive highlights that Candytopia had to offer. Of course having some awesome treats throughout was a definite plus. So because I’m a marshmallow junky I fell in love with that display plus I was able to indulge in marshmallow right thereSo I must share my draw backs. They were minimal and can be controlled. We live in a society where social media is life. So taking a picture at the correct angle, right lighten is important to most. Well that’s not true for everyone. Some of us just want to grab a picture for memories. So I will strongly encourage the staff to gently remind the “the models” that their photo shot is up because there are others waiting.Candytopia is definitely family friendly environment but I encourage adults, visitors, if you to have a fun date actually it’s a wonderful experience for every and anyone.At the end of your walk, the world of candy is waiting for you.......well that’s what I call it......it’s is a must drop in to see. There is a lot to offer in the land of candy world Welcome to Atlanta Candytopia

My friends and I visited in full costume. We were a bit worried about how well received it would be, and if wed be let in at all but much to our excitement the staff welcomed us with open arms and everyone was SO NICE!! We had so much fun and I cannot say enough kind words about the staff.

What an awesome exhibit or should I say Candyland! Great for young and old, nice setup and picture opportunities. My kids enjoyed going from room to room and getting free candy. I think everyones favorite was the marshmallow pit

Review №32

Candytopia was a blast! You have to go to experience the utter joy that it can bring! They take you in groups so that the rooms don’t get too crowded and every room has a delicious treat! I am a little bit of a germaphobe so the marshmallow pit was a challenge for me, but I went in anyway because I don’t like to miss out and it was well worth it! It is also a fantastic place to take selfies if you are into that! You have to purchase your tickets online before hand, so don’t just show up because you will probably be turned away.

Review №35

Ill be honest... For an adult, this experience was kind of overrated. Maybe its because I went in with certain expectations that werent met. For example... I thought that the displays themselves were made completely out of candy (theyre not) and that the Marshmallow Pit was actual marshmallows (theyre not).I wasnt aware that this was a travelling event, but now I can see why, as the novelty likely wears off after a little while. We went here on a team outing and, admittedly, if Id have paid for this out of pocket, I wouldve given it less stars.Would recommend this as somewhere to take your kids, but not so sure its something adults would enjoy.

Review №38

I had a great time here with my husband. The staging is definitely meant for kids but we saw a few adults without them having the time of their lives. Theres selfie stations so you can take epic photos without having to get someone to help out and the candy thats given out throughout the experience is pretty awesome. The marshmallow pool was a cold waiting to happen, but it seemed like the little ones in it were really enjoying themselves. I recommend bringing your kids here and letting them get a chocolate factory experience. As for adults, bring your imagination because the tricks and monologues are definitely tailored to kiddies. I say go once with kids then if you like it go on your own lol.

Take a break from adulting and the real world in Candytopia! What a fun experience! Yes, this is an instagrammable fun house filled with candy. If you do not enjoy taking photos, candy or getting to act like a child for a few hours then this aint for you chief! I was very pleased with how organized and fun this experience was. The staff here was super friendly and helpful. They even offered to take photos of customers. I enjoyed going to each room to see what wonders awaited. There all different rooms and each room theme is based off a type of candy. There are some waiting periods in the photo-op areas but the staff moves everyone along pretty quickly. The marshmallow pit was by far my favorite room.

Review №56

Is it fun? Yes, for kids. Is it worth the money and hype? No. Basically a traveling gimmick. Small rooms crowded with people who care more about selfies more than experience, instagrammable walls and floors have smudges all over already. If you are looking for fun activities for kids, many other places in Atlanta, such as the aquarium, the zoo, and the childrens museum, provide much more fun and authentic experiences.

This place was worth every penny! The kids loved it as well as my husband and I. I definitely recommend visiting before they leave! The art is amazing and the colors make it pop!! My favorite room was the confetti room! When I say confetti was everywhere when we got back to the hotel (i didnt know it traveled like that) Make sure your phones are charged so you can take plenty of pictures and videos. Please make sure you hold on to your phone in the marshmallow pit or just leave it in a cubby or something. It will be hard as hell to find in that thing! (***Please make sure you have a debit card or credit card if you plan on purchasing souvenirs at the end of the experience! Cash is not excepted!!***)

So much fun even for a non-candy lover. My 5 year old only likes 2 types of candy: Reeses and Dum-Dums, but she LOVEF this place. We both enjoyed the artistic pieces. She was in love with the Sphinx because she remembers reading books about Egypt and seeing it pictured. The interactive exhibits were also wonderful. The flowers in the second room smell divine. Definitely recommend for family of all ages.

This was a fun place to take my kids despite their age Gap. Who doesnt love candy!? I loved the iconic art work, candy samples and fun displays. The special effect pictures were pretty cool. It ends with a marshmallow pit that was cute for more pictures. The gift shop had the typical markup but had some interesting items...though I wasnt going to pay $20 for a selfie light just because it had a logo on it. I thought the pink bottles of water were cute for $2.

Excellent experience. My son and I came while visiting Atlanta and we enjoyed every room. There were candy samples in every room, and fun and helpful staff members to assist with anything alone the way. If you download the app there are stations that will take pictures for you, so that was amazingly helpful. But the staff will take photos of you as well. Overall I am thrilled that I came.

Review №82

Ok..so heres the truth..The Whole truth! I am an adult and my inner child constantly screams to be free and this the place to let it be.Simple Explanation: This is a Museum that showcases candy statues. Plenty of candy is given away in each room. This is for anyone of any age. I especially love the fact that someone w/ disabilities (seen and unseen) can attend and have fun as well.Merchandise (candy too) can be purchased at the end- they have the most adorable slogans on their shirts.I looove it and my big-lil sisters did too!

Review №85

Very cool place, but also very pricey as you are paying nearly $35 per person. The overall museum is not that big so you can get through it very quickly. They give you sample candy in each room which is a nice touch and they have some fun places such as a room with a giant marshmallow pit to jump around in. They also have a confetti room which is cool although it gets everywhere (They have things to help you clean it off). It is a great experience, but probably not worth the price of $100+ for just 3 people

Interesting place, where you cannenjiy the different uses of candy. Parking was easy if you go near the publix side. It takes up to 40-45 mins, with kids it might be longer. You are allowed to take pictures, thats what consumers your time. Free candy in each room.

If I could do a -0- star review I would because we could not even get in!! No where on the website does it state you have to purchase tickets online ONLY.. and the so called AA workers outside talking to only AA people standing in line were of absolutely no help!! Maybe that should be clearer in the website, we drove down from North Georgia with an excited kid, only to find out that we could not get in, those individuals (2 black female)working outside said they were going to check on THINGS for us and all they did was go and just stand at the front of the line, they didnt CHECK on anything.... Horrible customer service! This was a joke!!!

My daughter and I took my grandchildren (12 & 6) to Candytopia, and we all enjoyed ourselves. I expected a more interactive experience, but for what is was, we had a great time. Very creative exhibits! I want to especially acknowledge the staff...young, welcoming, professional, great energy! I told an employee, Jay, that we were celebrating my granddaughters 6th birthday, and he and one other gentleman went out of their way to make her birthday celebration special (they gave her $6 to pin on her shirt!). Jay also told the young lady at the entrance (I wish Id gotten her name) to be on the lookout for the Birthday Girl. This young lady called my granddaughter to the front and lead the group in singing Happy Birthday To Ya (Stevie Wonders version)! A wonderful, memorable day!

I purchased my tickets a month in advance . I was so excited to go. I had seen the pictures on social media...I was disappointed. The attractions were ran by teenagers, not professional ( one staff member even had a head scarf tied around her hair at work) or even enthusiastic, maybe because we were are 7pm the last tour of the evening. You just walk around to different rooms, take pics and grab free candy...far from amazing or extra ordinary.

Hard to describe exactly what it is - museum and fun house meets candy shop comes closest. If you are a kid or an adult willing to channel your inner kid, it can be a lot of fun. Dont be afraid of rolling on the floor, confetti in your hair, getting barefoot and sinking in a marshmallow pit. It was great that they dont charge extra for the the great effects pics. Unfortunately, for us, one day, one of the picture sites was down!! :-(

Anything here is really just a money trap. You get some cool pictures, but isn’t worth the price of entrance nor the sugar headache afterwards.

Amazing interactive experience! Candy everywhere. Awesome photo ops! Gram worthy shots. Its better of you bring your kids or the whole family. They even take pictures of you at no extra cost. The mashmellow pool had a funny smell though, but, overlooking that, its awesome!!!
