Candytopia, the immersive pop-up that brings a sugar-coated dreamworld candy factory to life, is thrilled to announce its national expansion and debut in New York City. Following its successful Los Angeles run in Santa Monica in early 2018, Candytopia will bring its imaginative confectionary wonderland to Midtown Manhattan later this summer for a limited engagement.

For anyone who's ever dreamed of scoring a Golden Ticket or nibbling their way through Candyland, Candytopia transports guests to an imaginative confectionary wonderland with a one-of-a-kind full sensory experience and welcomes people of all ages to explore their sweet tooth like never before.

Candytopia features more than one dozen unique rooms and larger-than-life interactive art installations inspired by pure, sugary bliss.
