Interactive selfie museum but with photos and sculptures made of candy. In each room there's a treasure chest with candy some same take one some so take a few so I do recommend bringing a bag. Once she warmed up to everything my 2 year old had a blast especially in be confetti room and marshmallow pit. I was a bit turned off from that due to people being barefoot in basically something I'm sure they don't disinfect but germs are everywhere and with Covid still very much a thing I'm taking a chance anywhere I go. The staff was very friendly inside and knowledgeable. In the end we enjoyed ourselves but is it $28 per person worth NO bc once we got into the groove of things it was over but seeing my kid laugh and come out here shell was.
Overall it's a great experience. The kids really enjoyed it. The staff is really friendly and engages you throughout. This was our second time going since we went last time it was in Atlanta. I think the staff really makes the experience
Candytopia is fun for all ages. I took my four year niece and she said she loved it. She definitely loved the multiple photo opportunities and interactive parts.
This place is a giant sensory experience. Candy is the lure to get your kids in the door. Really they only get a small amount of candy. I loved all of the different sensory opportunities. They had movement, smell, touch, sound, sight and taste. This is a great place for those who are sensory seeking or need to work on sensory processing. I loved this so much more than I thought I would. Really worth the cost.
Fun! Date worthy for sure (and tx are a deal at $28). We enjoyed the hour-ish we spent & would definitely suggest it as a random adult date.... Very vivid rooms and the candy animals, figurines, and especially the Marilyn portrait are so detailed! I did expect more candy to be given out - lots of stuff to buy at the shop at the end (hmm). The shower of confetti was fun - the marshmellow pit was disappointing & a lot smaller than the pics and online images make you think! And I didn't really want to put my purse and shoes in a cubby... The free cameras weren't working in most rooms which was a bummer- we got some good pics but I really wanted their pro ones like I've seen on Instagram! I'd have loved a little more Willy Wonka but it's a cute place for an afternoon treat!
I was really disappointed with Candytopia. I'm glad I got to see it since it is only a temporary pop up and the idea is really cool. But I do agree with the other subpar reviews here that say it's overrated and underwhelming. Maybe this was a lot better when it first opened, but the inside seems kind of dirty and worn down now. A lot of candy pieces were missing from the exhibits. Some of the photo ops included laying on the floor as an illusion, but it just didn't look clean to me since everyone was walking and laying there. There's also a marshmallow pit that would be a great photo op but it's kind of a germ haven and other people there said it smelled bad in there. Don't be fooled by all the cute and artsy pictures that people are posting on Instagram. All the photos I saw taken here looked a million times better in picture than in person. There were only 2 types of people here: families with young children (they looked like they had fun!) and young women (teenage to mid 20's) who come here SOLELY for the Instagram photos. They come here only to use it as a backdrop for Instagram. It was quite a maze to be navigating all those people and those in the midst of posing for pictures. After you get your ticket checked (buy online) and come in, you wait in the front room. Then you are taken into the first room where an introduction is given, and you are free to explore the rest of the rooms at a leisurely pace. The rooms have a theme to them and paintings/structures with candy. At the end is the confetti room, marshmallow pit, and the gift shop. The only room I really enjoyed was the confetti room. Probably stay away from this room if you are a germaphobe. But I thought it was super cool. Someone throws confetti on you when you walk in. There is also a hole on a picture of a pig where you stuff confetti into it and then it sprays confetti all over you. I didn't do the photo op in this room, but this one is probably the best. There is a wheel and a camera that takes a picture from above when you stand on the wheel. There's also air blowers to clean the confetti off of you. There is candy in the rooms and some of them are Lindt chocolates, Air heads, pixie sticks, candy bracelets, and caramel apple lollipops. I think for $20, this would have been fine. But it was $33 per person. It's a little excessive for how much there is to see here. It is a really cool and fun idea. I did enjoy seeing how creative the art was and I liked the confetti room. I think younger kids would really enjoy this place. Also parking is easy, just park in the deck for Publix.
Fun times at Candytopia! This time it was at a more convenient location parking was plentiful! The exhibit candy rooms were a little different. The walk through seemed shorter this time around but we still had lots of fun and got lots of candy! My kids still felt like the marshmallow room was the best room lol. My fav was the Prince pic and guitar because I'm a huge Prince fan! The confetti room is my 2nd fav! I would like a little more history on this traveling experience. Probably won't do a 3rd time unless they add more to the experience. Overall it was fun! See pics
I will be honest. This place is strictly for kids lol. It was so fast for the amount of money and you move through the rooms fast . Honey this can be $10-15 dollars. You only can get one piece of candy. At the end they have a candy store that's over priced.
I love love LOVE Candytopia. Here everything is made of candy. They have about 14 crafted rooms and environments and each of of them were awesome. You can also get free candy in every room. WHO DOESNT LOVE FREE CANDY? My favorite room I think was the one where you get showered in confetti (no worries, you can use their air hoses to get rid of it) and of course the marshmallows pool! This place is SO IG worthy, and It's a great experience for kids, and adults. The staff is great and they have a contagious energy too. Candytopia is located in buckhead near Lenox Square, and there's plenty of parking in their parking deck. ESPAÑOL Me encanto Candytopia. Aquí todo está hecho de caramelos. Tienen alrededor de 14 habitaciones y ambientes diseñados y cada uno de ellos fue increíble. También puede obtener caramelos gratis en cada habitación. ¿QUIÉN NO AMA A CANDY GRATIS? Creo que mi habitación favorita fue en la que te duchaban en confeti (no te preocupes, puedes usar sus mangueras de aire para deshacerte de él) y, por supuesto, la piscina de malvaviscos. Este lugar es tan digno de IG, y es una gran experiencia para niños y adultos. El personal es excelente y tienen una energía contagiosa también. Candytopia se encuentra en Buckhead, cerca de Lenox Square, y hay un montón de estacionamiento.
My girlfriends and I visited Candytopia on a day trip to Atlanta. It was one of the most instagrammable experiences I've ever been to. The framed artwork and statues are made out of thousands of tiny pieces of candy and are so cool! I love all the pop art references like Frida, Cardio, Prince, and Van Gogh. Selfies look fabulous. Each room offers a treasure chest of candy to enjoy a few pieces. There's a ball pit filled with foam that looks like marshmallows which is fun to jump in even as an adult. Lots of nostalgia! They offer several photo stations which make for amazing shots. For about $30 and an hour of silly fun this was a cool experience. Some of the workers aren't as thrilled as is needed to keep the fun feeling and a few of the sculptures need fixing.
So not what I expected based off previous reviews. This place is definitely overrated and overpriced. Don't get me wrong we had fun but I was expecting more exhibits and way more candy period. The candy they provide is good but they are very stingy with it, only wanting you to take one. Like seriously who only eats one Lindt chocolate truffle! The first two rooms are guided just basically giving you the rules and background of candytopia. Nothing major and sorta rushed through. There's a sign outside telling you to download an app, I still have no idea where the app came into play. They also have you to go to a website to signup for a qr code, which they'll later scan and they email you pictures you take. You're let loose in the third room which is more so for kids. It has the slides and swings etc. We honestly didn't spend much time in here however we did stop to smell the flowers. There's a mirror corridor that takes you to a pop art esque room. There's a mirror chair that's great for photo ops. From there it's a room with 2 photo ops, one which the qr code is needed. Then there was an underwater room. Nothing special so moving on. Then comes my favorite room where there's confetti EVERYWHERE! Definitely brought out my inner child. There was a unicorn and flying pigs. I'll go ahead and address the staff who all were amazing. They got us good asking us to back out of the way of a picture. They were really setting us up for a confetti explosion from the pig butts on the wall lol Also they are prepared with air blowers to help deconfetti yourself. The last room is where you'll find the marshmallow pit. You only have like 10 minutes to play and take pictures. They definitely should have a better way of taking pictures here. This camera is set up in the middle of the pit so there were all kinds of random people showing in pur picture. Overall it was fun, some of the exhibits are definitely showing signs of wear. Good Saturday fun with my nieces, but once you've done it. Definitely no need to go back.
This was my first time at an interactive experience and my expectations were absolutely exceeded. I literally was a kid in a candy store with all the different rooms and pieces of artwork made of candy! I enjoyed seeing how many pieces were used and hours it took to create. The staff was super friendly and took pictures and videos upon request. I loved the free professional shots that were stationed in most of the exhibits. And last but certainly not least, the ENDLESS CANDY lol each room has hidden candy for you to take home If you haven't already, definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed!
A few neat things to look at, but it's small and geared heavily toward young children. Took us about 20 minutes to walk through the whole thing. A few of the rooms seemed pretty unsanitary in the past-pandemic age. Doesn't seem worth the $28/person entry fee unless you are bringing young kids.
Although 'Candytopia' may sound like a haven for sweets, it is not a place to go and eat; but to have fun! Tickets can be purchase both online or in person. The price varies but is extremely affordable per person. Meanwhile the experience itself is priceless. Personally I have not had so much fun in a long while! The creations are... creative to say the least but the most impressive. Everything had labels that informs the viewer on how long the work took to complete, and contained the pieces' names and details (like the type of sugary sweets used). All of the employees were nice and accommodating. They also interact with you as you explore each room that has their individual themes. Overall, 10/10 experience. Kid-friendly and definitely will come back with my siblings!!! read more
This place just reopened today for the first time since the pandemic. It was a great experience. Its located inside of a strip mall so there is plenty of parking. Also, the photo opportunities are pretty cool. The only downside is that its not very large. It took us less than an hr to get through the entire thing. Also, they let about 50people in at a time so it was hard to get good pictures because there are so many people in your shot or waiting behind you. read more

I was invited to this delightful venue today, and I am so elated that I went. My oldest son accompanied me, and he enjoyed himself as well. The figures we so detailed and artistic, it was hard to believe they were made from candy. The staff was extremely engaging and energetic, it was just an awesome vibe! I'll definitely be taking my Grand-Princesses! Ohhhh, and there were tasty treats in each room! I love loved my time there today, and cannot wait to return! read more

Get ready for the best time and most fun you're 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, it's a confetti explosion. The marshmallow pit was also a favorite. 5 stars for this candy kingdom. read more
Overall, I enjoyed the experience and my niece did as well. The staff were very energetic and friendly. I love the self-selfie areas throughout the exhibit. There were several photo ops. My niece favorite part was jumping in the marshmellow pit. I think they should have allowed fewer kids in due to COVID. read more

Let me start by saying I was skeptical about how much fun this would be just based off the price point for the tickets... Fast forward to day of, I get the tickets for my family to celebrate my daughter making the big step to Kindergarten. And when it is our time to go in she sees the candy Dragon and FREAKS OUT.. it takes 20 minutes to try and coax her into going into the museum. She is so strong and stubborn about NOT going in there that the workers from the museum weren't even able to talk her into it. She was scared of it no matter what they said or no matter how hard I tried to bribe her. One of the managers come out and asks my daughter would she like to skip the front so she wouldn't see the dragon and she agrees finally. We go through the back door and she is in candy heaven!!!! I really appreciate EVERYONE who works there for being so kind and caring to my frightened baby girl.. she even got a surprise from a manager for being so brave.. I loved every single minute of my Candytopia experience and after the way they treated us it was definitely worth the money!!!!! read more

Candytopia provides each room with its own candy themed signature and beautiful decor. This is definitely a place for teens and under.I just wish the candy was disbursed by the staff instead of the attendees putting their hands inside the bins. The first room had a fun and interesting Guide but their were none in the others to make it worth the money spent to get inside. There should had been a guide in each room to provide information. I must admit I had fun. read more
Plenty of parking, but did fill up quickly around noon. This is a pop up event, so it is for a limited time! Overall it was really fun and my 4 year old enjoyed it. He loved the fact that he was allowed to take candy in each part of the exhibit. Being the paranoid parent, I wished they limited how many people could be in each section more. If you are expecting to be socially distanced, that is not the case. The employees did wear masks, however, guests are not required to wear masks. There is no sanitizing/cleaning after each guest. So for the areas with picture opportunities, I was hesitant to go if it has a lot of touching. This is of course just me personally, plenty of others took amazing pictures. They have the cool feature that you have a "personalized" QR code on your phone so the pictures you take in these stations will be emailed to you directly. However, the only 1 we took did not get delivered :( If you enjoy candy, like taking pictures, and/or have little ones it's worth the experience. It is air conditioned and keeps the little ones entertained. But it is more on the pricey side. Overall I would plan for at least 2 hours. If you want to take pictures at all the stations I would allocate more time. read more

Such a sweet experience! Came with the hubs. He was a little apprehensive at first, but kept an open mind. The instructions said to arrive at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time, so we arrived around 10:30 AM for our 10:45 AM slot. The staff at Candytopia was awesome! They had incredible energy! They were very helpful and friendly. They did a great job of explaining what Candytopia is about and giving us the full experience. They were also very patient with the photos and did not make us feel rushed at all. Candytopia is an Instagrammer's dream world. Each room has a different theme with so many great photo and boomerang opps! Each room had different types of candy to take as well! What good would a candy exhibit be without some free candy? And if the complimentary ones weren't enough for you, there's also a candy store at the end of the tour with even more selection of candy as well as some sweet merch! Both the hubs and I had a blast! We would love to go back and take the kids. It's fun for all ages. If you're a germophobe like us, make sure you shower afterwards! Lol. We were not the first and definitely won't be the last to jump in that marshmallow pit. Even though there was an area to "spray" off the confetti, just know that you will find more later. Way more. read more
Sorry to be a sour patch but it was sub par. It's great for kids for not for adults without kids. Entrance is found from the outside of the deck so once you park, walk outside and they have signs everywhere on the second floor above Publix. Upon entering, it did feel as if you were walking into a chocolate/sweet factory. Through out the rooms, there's candy/treats that you can take with you, which was nice, but overall there's only about 6 rooms that you can walk through. The ones that stood out the most were the confetti room, marshmallow room, and the photography room. While I looked forward to these photo ops, it didn't pan out like I wanted it to. Confetti room was hard to get a good picture and just messy where you have to blow off the confetti on you afterwards. Photo room was dirty. There's two backgrounds where you can take pics with, one where you could pose to look like you're being sucked in through a portal and another with sky with 2 gigantic balls. I'm not a huge germaphobe but uggghh couldn't get myself to roll around the floor where people stepped around everywhere where you can see all the dirt and foot marks. And the huge balls literally had sticky stains everywhere that I wanted to clorox wipe the whole thing that i forfeited taking pics. Marshmallow pit had the longest wait and while it had no shoes policy, which was great, it sorta had a stinch that i couldn't get myself maneuvering through the pit. So for me, my ultimate goal was to get great Instagram photos, it was no-no. They even make you download their app so that they send you photos from certain photo op stations but the pics were just blah and i couldn't even figure out downloading it on my phone as it kept telling me there were errors. Again, great activities for kids, getting sugar rushed and running around but not worth $ for me. Oh and parents should still keep eyes on their kids as they are wild. Saw a boy blow drying random strangers in the confetti room that the lady for furious at the boy. Initially wasn't sure if the boy was hers but definitely wasn't... read more
This was a ton of fun! Tickets are about $30/piece and I thought it was worth it. Especially compared to other pop ups I've seen like Santa's fantastical. Parking is free! Park in the deck for the shopping center. If you see publix from inside the deck, turn around and go that way. You'll see the bright colored side of candytopia & then you can go around to the front. You don't get a ton of candy inside. You do get some, but it's 1-3 per type, with signs telling you to take one or a few and based on an honor system. If you're coming to eat candy until you vomit, this isn't it for you. All the employees are so awesome! They'll take pics for you, dance with you, toss confetti at you, talk, play, etc. You can touch everything, but don't eat the art. And you won't want to bc it's gross. They glue it and who knows who has touched it lol The art itself is impressive. Everything looks amazing, impressive & some serious talent & work went into it. The art is scented haha which I felt strange sniffing the sculptures but if it's covered in peach gummies or blue raspberry, it smells like it! Super cool. There's swings, a slide (for kids), moving platforms, mirrors, and more. I took pics of pretty much everything but you should def go check it out! read more
Life is short... eat the candy! This place is amazing! I had so much fun. I went alone but with other Yelp Elites, so I made plenty of friends once inside. The guides were friendly and super hype. Each room was different and had candy art and plenty of places to take pics. You also get candy in each room. My favorite candy was in the lobby (salt water taffy) and the room with the swings and Tootsie Roll pops. But there were so many different candy treasure boxes for us to sample; my small purse wasn't big enough to hold it all, so I had to use my pockets too. I was inside for about an hour but if you jump in the marshmallow pool, you might stay longer. This place is dope! Go and have a blast! read more
This is the cutest thing ever! This was my second visit to this cool exhibition. The wow factor is not gone 2 years after my first time coming. This is a perfect place to hang out with your kids and have photo ops. The location in my opinion is much better than last time. I thoroughly enjoy how interactive and fun the employees make it soon as you walk in. It really is a fun filled place, but don't expect a lot of activities for children to do. read more

Worth it. Well, I mean I took two kids under 4 and therefore only paid for myself. For any parent who loves cute photo ops of their kids, this is a GREAT place to take them. Seven rooms of candy art and interactive exhibits with at least one piece of candy in every room. My three year old had a blast and my 10 mo old was just amazed. Note: not stroller friendly. And honestly I wouldn't even bring a carrier for any kid you'd want to have all the pictures of ... the carrier for sure was just an extra thing for me to carry around. read more

I would give 3.5. My score is strictly based on adjustments I feel they should implement moving forward. Disclaimer- I went opening day and hiccups and adjustments are normal. There were more pros than cons. PROS: (1) The bright colors and pieces the have on display. (2) The selection of candy they put out for the guest to sample throughout the different rooms. YES YES YES for listing contents for individuals with sensitivities and severe allergies (corn, nut, gluten, etc.) (3) The QR picture code stations (4) Info plates with candy count and number of hours each piece took to make (5) Friendly staff ** I loved the dragon, Sphinx, Beyoncé, and Prince pieces. What a fun way to introduce traditional art to children as well. CONS: (1) It was difficult to hear part of intro before entering first room. More separation/lag time between groups entering. (2) The pillow/ plastic tube section you push through. It reminds me of a plastic arm floatation for the pool. My concern is sanitation. Everyone is not clean, especially children and that is simply a fact. (3) The marshmallow pit needs a separate entrance and exit. ( I may have missed it on website but inform guest to bring socks or have disposable socks available) Guest should get in on one side and out on the other. ALSO (and maybe I missed the posting) but children in diapers and/or pull-ups should not be allowed in pit. One accident and you have to shut it down. I saw more than one child in pit with a diaper. It was an immediate exit for me. Overall my boyfriend and I enjoyed the experience. We both agreed, we were happy we went early on opening day. I personally do not see it as a repeatable experience unless the themes and art pieces change often enough. I would also need more information about how they sanitize the two areas mentioned above. read more
Ah Candy... what's not to love about you?!? What a wonderful well thought and perfectly executed concept! From the time you enter this wonderland to when you walk out every inch is candy theme and designed to bring a smile to your face. If you are a kid, parent, Instagram pic hog(me!) there is something here for everyone! Each room has a different theme but still incorporating candy! There are free candy to be found at several corners. The little angel helpers are around to help take that perfect picture for you and your crew. I was totally impressed by how happy and eager to participate in your childish behavior the staff was. No one was disengaged... they all wanted you to have a stellar time and that we did! Parking is a breeze with an adjoining parking lot. Overall: an evening well spent!! read more

Now before I go too far into my relatively low score it must be said that my 3 year old daughter had the time of her life. I mean she ate Halloween amounts of candy and jumped in a pit of marshmallows. She went to sleep yesterday asking to go back and woke up today asking if we were going agin today. The shuffling from room to room felt like I was simply on a never ending line with sugar in different forms to provide the energy required to brave the next queue. For an in door event there were seemingly no Covid protocols other than hand sanitizer placed in different rooms. At no point did staff wipe anything down in my presence. At this point I don't know if you need to high school style French kiss someone to get Covid but caution is definitely thrown to the wind here. Overall you will get some cool pics and someone under the age of 5 may have the sugar fueled time of their life but the price tag and the indoor crowding of people make this a no for me. If the mother of all Melt downs brought to you by my 3 year old was not holding me hostage I would have left after about 7 min. read more
I finally made it to Candytopia over the weekend! I've been wanting to go since they arrived. We decided todo a family ventures for my niece's 13th birthday. I enjoyed the numerous interactive things and displays they had. It definitely brought out the kid in me, as well as all the other adults. I was amazed at the amount of time and pieces of candy that were used to construct the various displays. I enjoyed the room with the portraits, which I thought were pretty cool. Also, the fact that they provided a chance for you to take as many photos with them for FREE was awesome. While there was candy in each room to take, I wish there were a few other options that were considered more popular candy, but I'm not complaining. My sisters love candy and they thoroughly enjoyed the candy. A highlight of my visit was getting to the marshmallow pit room. The team member that was working that day going over the rules was awesome. He definitely gave me life! Lol. He genuinely looked like he was enjoying his' job. I'm going over the rules he was singing, dancing, and it got us engaged. Others around us were kind of boring, but we engaged with him and had an awesome time with great laughs. If you haven't gone yet, you enjoy candy, and want to try something different, definitely get down to Candytopia before they leave. Their last day in Atlanta is July 28. I'm definitely glad I got to experience Candytopia! read more
This place was more fun then I thought it would be! My wife chose for us to go with the kids and I didn't know what to expect. When I got there, we were greeted at the door. Then upon entering there were areas to take pictures and we got a quick introduction! After that, the fun began! There were many cool things to take pictures with and there were multiple rooms. My favorite was the marshmallow room. You will see why! read more

Because we went Friday, it was crowded and disorganized. We were 5 minutes late and had to wait for the next show (in 30 minutes). We did not know where to stand in line but fortunately got in. The first two rooms are so so because we had to wait for everyone. It was suffocating. But we had great time after that. Phenomenal work of art and free candies every room. We spent around 10 to 15 minutes in each room trying to get photos. I did not like the claustrophobia room because that's my phobia (I wished they have another path). The best room was the confetti room. It was interactive and fun (I love the staffs there). We did not jump in the marshmallow pit but maybe next time. The souvenir store is small and pricey. There's no keychain or magnet . read more

Oh my gosh, I really did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did! My sister came to town and I knew this was up her alley. We purchased tickets almost a month in advance. We picked 2.15 pm on a Saturday. This exhibit is located directly across the street from Phipps Plaza. You can park in the attached garage for free 99! We were running a little late and did not arrive until about 2:30pm. As I approached I did notice a few people standing sound outside, I proceeded to walk to the door given that I was late. As I was tugging on the door the two gentleman that wee suppose to be working the line finally decide to say something! I explained to them that I was late for my 2:15 time slot. They Peeped in the door and told me I was in luck! They scanned our tickets and we were allowed to enter. Walking in I immediately reverted back to my childhood self! The colors, the candy, the costume- oh my! One of the staff quickly explained that we needed to download this app. He was patient and walked us through how the app would be utilized. Then, the magic and fun begins. As to not ruin the experience for those that want to check this out, I will not give away all the details. However, know that there are several Rooms to explore, but once you exit you can not re-enter the room. Also, each room is interactive in one way or another. There is also some type of candy treat to retrieve in each room. I can honestly say that I felt like a kid again at this exhibit. This is a place that people of all ages can enjoy! read more
Interactive and Immersive fun experience! For those wanting instagram worthy pictures, this is the place to visit... Candytopia is a pop up event that showcases art through candy. Pop up locations include various cities in the country and a few outside too. Wow! It is located near the Target/Publix and parking is free. There is minimum signage or directions and entry is through the ground level - we just followed people (that looked dressed for the occasion) until we saw some signs :) Once you enter the experience begins. The staff let's you in with your groups (similar time slot) and they play their part very well - excited, enthusiastic and helpful. There are various rooms you walk through in your journey. You cannot go back, so take your time in each room until you are ready to move on. They have free candy in each room for those expecting it, and a store to buy more at the end. We enjoyed our experience thoroughly. You have ample opportunities to take pictures and pose in any way you like. No need to be shy! They also have a few cameras in different rooms for the professional image - for free. Just download the app and you are good to go. I was impressed by the use of candy, from portraits to figures. No room is the same and they all get your inner child out. I enjoyed the Marshmallow pit the most. No shoes allowed in the pit, and I would recommend wearing socks. This one was a workout - imagine wading through giant marshmallow shaped foam to get the perfect picture. This event was totally worth it! Highly recommended for people who love art, candy and in general a good time! read more
