This Giant Candy Wonderland Is The Sweetest Place You’ll Go In Texas
Who remembers playing Candyland as a kid? Such a simple board game, yet our vivid imaginations ran wild with it. Only if for a short while, we escaped to a magical world full of gumdrop palaces and chocolate rivers. Here in Texas, an opportunity to relive those cherished moments has presented itself. Candytopia is a pop-up art installation in Dallas where the exhibits all look good enough to eat (and there’s plenty of real candy, too).
Lollipops and candy canes abound approaching the entrance, a vibrant display of whimsy that nobody is immune from being lured into. Follow the sweetness and prepare yourself for the sugar coma of a lifetime.
As you wait in line, a vast array of sights and sounds compete for your attention. Colorful, flashing lights and cheerful music are just a small taste of the almost palatable artwork waiting beyond this door.
Even the Mona Lisa got a sweet makeover. Despite lacking the original masterpiece's depth and emotion, her eyes still seem to follow you around the room.
Dive into a pool of 300,000 marshmallows and let their fluffiness envelop your entire being. Throw them around like confetti, an act of childhood innocence that even the most mature adults can't resist.
If you were disappointed about the candy not being real, don't be. From decadent chocolate truffles to gummy bears bursting with flavor, there are plenty of confections to tantalize your taste buds.
Doors close July 31, so don’t waste any time! For more information, check out the event’s website or Facebook page.
