If you're looking for a kid-centric activity during your outer banks visit, make a swing into Sugar Kingdom. With bright lights and colors and a huge candy section, this is a a child's dream. There are many different choices in open bins where you fill a bag/box and purchase by the pound - Keep an eye on those scoop sizes because this gets real expensive real fast! At $15.96/lb as of my visit, you can very quickly scoop an eye popping amount into what feels like a small bag. The staff were not especially friendly, mostly mumbling and hard to understand when I asked questions. Also, prices seem intentionally misleading ("$3.99/quarter pound") which seems cheap if you're only quickly glancing and not doing the math. read more

great selection of stuffed animal at great prices and great selection of candy. The atmosphere is friendly

Uncomfortable shopping - male manager advised employee to follow us. Also smelled like farts in there. May want to check out the ventilation/candy read more

Beware: The pricing is inconsistent with unknown charges being tacked on. I really think the employees are adding tips to the totals. When asked why the amounts are so different than the signed pricing they have no answer other then, that's just what the register says. When you order you have to say the price of what you're ordering so the employees know you know the price, otherwise, they'll scam you for more. Pretty sad. read more

Also known as sugar planet. Manager advised what appeared to be a brand new employee to basically follow our family around for the whole visit. Not a great experience to go buy expired over priced candy. read more

Yes, loved this place so much. The cutest stuff animals ever. Whenever I go on vacation again I'm definitely stopping here.

I got 3 pieces of fudge on 5/9/25 they were different flavors all 3 were hard definitely old. Will not get fudge there anymore.

If you're looking for a good, air conditioned activity in OBX for kids, this is a good spot. They have tons of bulk candy, toys and clothes. Service isn't great-mostly just teenagers who are working for a paycheck read more

We purchased a ton of different items from this store...they literally have everything from t-shirts to keychains and of course candy galore! We picked up about 10 different flavors of BonBons and they were all so good! The kids at the counter were less than helpful, none of them really knew anything about the candies behind the counter and even though they weren't busy at all were very impatient with use while we were trying to select our BonBons. read more

This place is super colorful and filled to the brim with sugar. If you plan on bringing a child in, make sure you either have plenty of spending money, or clarify specifically one thing before you enter. Definitely a very pricey place. I did get me some delicious truffles and a cute mug though. I am a sucker for cute mugs. read more

Stopped in for our late-night candy fix while on vacation. This place is like being ADD - so many bright lights. It felt dirty inside and I witnessed employees with masks below their noses and replenishing candy bins with bare hands. I twisted my ankle in an unmarked hole in the ground (see photo). I left without buying anything. read more

6/29/20 Sometimes following your nose can get you into trouble. Especially as a kid or an adult with money and a sweet tooth. This was not the case for me. Now I did see some candy in containers the caught my eye, but did not want to touch the many handles that collect candy. The Raspberry Rock Candy is one type of candy I loved eating. Take one of those candies and mix it in Coke and see what happens. Ever hear the story of Little Mikey? "Little Mikey of LIFE cereal fame died from the explosive effects of mixing Pop Rocks candy with soda pop."...check out the link: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pop-rocks-soda/ Anyhow, the blue raspberry were my favorite of the flavors. If there ever was a watermelon flavor, I missed out on it. I also saw Harry Potter's Jelly Beans Bertie Botts. Every nasty ass flavor one could come up with...not quite...., one could come up with worse flavors, but JK Rowling was being nice. The chocolate frog and other creatures were there at the store too. I did not buy anything, because the smell of sugar was to strong for me. More importantly, I didn't want any candy. I did learn that Sugar Kingdom is owned by Sensation. Both stores I visited in Kitty Hawk North Carolina were right next to each other. I wonder what other stores Sensations own. Not sure when we will return, but when I do, I might buy a raspberry, orange and apple rock candy. If there is a watermelon flavor, I well get two of those too:) read more

Sugar Kingdom - Argie's ready to party! - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

The candy is fine ita the building. The building is so rub down, signs outside half lit up and most sinage missing letters. Inside the floor had 2 inches of water on it from the rain and buckets everywhere. The poor employee was frantically trying to keep up with it. Who ever owns this business obviously doesn't care about maintaining it. With the prices th3y charge for candy they'd have plenty to make the building look decent. read more

Amazing place if you like candy!!! Such a great place for kids!!! Come out and enjoy read more

Well my 2 stars is for the marketing and how they draw you in. It's a beautiful store... candy is ok. Unique gummies for sure. However, when I got home I noticed something VERY strange on the bag... the place is called "Sugar Kingdom" but the website on the bag is "www.sugarKINKdom.com"... I'm a little off put now thinking that I've just contributed to some child abuse trap. I won't be back. read more

This is a large store with a huge variety of candy, stuffed animals, t-shirts, etc. While the non-candy items seemed reasonably priced, the candy was way overpriced. We were not asked once if we needed help, nor were we thanked after making a purchase. I was watching one employee fill some of the candy bins. It's definitely not a first in, first out situation and I wouldn't buy anything that isn't individually wrapped. read more

My kid and I liked this place but the prices were quite steep! Most importantly though. We got home an ate the candy and the taffy was HORRENDOUS. I bought a tub of taffy because I thought all the flavors sounded awesome but they tasted awful like they were outdated or something. I dont think ive ever had taffy that tasted like that! read more

This place was way over priced. A regular candy bar where you can get at any supermarket for $0.75 was $3.00 at this store. Even the bulk candy was way overpriced. I also asked about ingredients as my daughter needs to eat gluten free and they said they couldn't help me with the bulk candy. You can't tell me that they could get the ingredients for some items I asked about. read more

Walked in and my wife went wild...! They have just about every type of candy you could ask for, except peanut brittle. Not that we needed it, but last year we took home salt water taffy & peanut brittle from a different store. But be careful, $3.49 per 1/4 pound can add up quick... read more

Tourist trap. Signs ate extremely deceptive about prices. 3.49 per quarter pound. They make the 3.49 real big but hide the per qtr lb near the bottom. Who pays by the qtr lb in a candy shop? The candy selection isnt that great either. Lots of the same stuff to make it seem like a big selection. read more

The service was amazing and it was so much fun to pick all the candy with GREAT deals and treats to try.

Fantastic selection of candies! I love the experience! My kids had the hardest time choosing what they wanted.

Super expensive, $9.99 for 1/4 of a pound (which is 1 block), $7 for half a pound of candy mix. You mine as well go to the gas station and get all of your candy. I do not recommend read more

3.5 stars and this is mostly due to the lack of "exotic" candies. It was definitely worth stopping to check it out since the overall store was store cool but most stuff we are seen before. read more

Like other reviewers have mentioned, prepare to spend a chunk of change in here. Especially, if you are like our family and non-packaged candy isn't allowed...hello, pandemic?!?! read more

This place is expensive for candy. I thought the selection would be better, more diverse with such a huge store but half the store is t-shirts, etc. Seems most of the souvenir shops have the same stuff. They had some items like licorice that I thought was interesting but was way too pricey. read more

Huge selection, HUGE prices. Everything I got tasted stale and not the flavors they're advertised. Workers are mixing up and shaking bins of gummies so they don't stick together due to them sitting there being untouched for so long. Place is absolutely DEAD, not a since person came in when we were there for about 30 minutes and maybe they've figured these things out before us. Again, huge selection, but unless it's the factory packaged candy, skip it because it will be old, stale, and flavorless. read more

Workers were not wearing masks properly. They either had their noses exposed or the masks around their chins only. Not good!!!!

So here's my opinion of this place. Cons *yes it's expensive *yes it's a tourist trap *yes there sign is a bit deceptive!! Pro's *Great fun atmosphere *colorful *huge open areas to explore *lots of rare candies. Is a Cuban cigar not marked up for importation purposes. Do we not buy $348.00 yeezees or $$$$ of clothing that Kanye Worst promotes that probably cost 1% of the markup they put on it. The gumptons on here saying their markup is 400% well you just went to a place that survives primarily on selling f*$&#& candy are they supposed to try to only make 100% of there profit to keep the doors open on their probably $20,000 rent!! If you don't want to buy your pez or common food lion brand gummies here and pay an arm and a leg then go shop where you belong next door at the dollar tree, they have a wonderful selection!! The only reason this place got 4 stars is because I was so excited about all my rare candies I spent mucho $$ when I could have bought them online, but why would I want to make bezos more rich than he is, and I'm an American and in the words or the late verouka salt "I want it and I want it NOW" It's a tourist trap and they got me!!! I'll live happily with my huge selection of rare candies. read more

Way over priced. Lots of candy but that's about it. Didn't have ice rink as stated on front of building

this place is a amazing great service and great candy at amazing prices 10/10 if I had to say anything about this place I would definitely say I will be back very soon most candy makes me sick to my stomach but they sugar coat everything themselves which is wonderful!!! read more

Store name misleading, barely any can't outside of gummies and jelly beans and stuffed animals. Was disappointed that the gummies they did have were $14/lb and selling $.25 packs of candy sticks for $2 a piece!! My son wanted the cheapest toy car I've ever seen...their price? A cool $7.99. Would not return back here. read more
