The newest space (and the largest to date) is located in the Penn Plaza district of New York City, and is 24,000 square feet with 17 different interactive environments, Instagram-worthy photo opportunities, and delectable tastes of your favorite sweet treats.

This limited-run engagement opens to the public on April 29th with new and massively updated exhibits including the signature Candytopia marshmallow pit, a New York-inspired candy art gallery, and a state-of-the-art candy confetti room, complete with confetti-farting pigs, as well as completely new experiences including an infinity mirror room, Ring Swing Garden, Sugar High Theater, and an indoor zipline!

“We’re thrilled to be returning to New York City where we were so warmly welcomed in 2018. We’ve created an updated experience that our guests will find familiar, but with plenty of new surprises and additional rooms to discover,” said John Goodman, the CEO of Youtopia Entertainment.

The new Candytopia will be located at 111 West 32nd Street, NYC (on the corner of 32nd and 6th). Tickets go on sale April 12 at noon, and Candytopia officially opens its doors to the public on April 29 and will continue until the candy runs out! Tickets are $29 for children ages 4-12, and $36 for adults. Kids 3 and under enter for free.
