From modern day nitro-gimmicks to sweet reminders of the past, the Museum of Candy is a delightful showcase of sweet history and the ultimate candy adventure for both kids and adults.

Unique Features of the Museum of Candy

Whoever said museums are quiet and only for history buffs hasn’t been to the Museum of Candy.

 

It’s a sugar-filled dream and a rainbow coloured tribute to everything sweet. From macrons to ice cream to jelly tots and gummy bears, take a trip down memory lane and prepare your sweet tooth.

 

Designed by DFYN Group, the sugar-coated design won the Best Interior Design Concept of the Year at the 2025 Commercial Interior Design Awards.

Immersive Experiences

Enjoy a colourful explosion of sweet surprises, picture perfect Instagrammable moments and immersive activities.

 

Explore eight zones and fifteen dedicated sweet rooms, each based on a candy ranging from Sweetopia, Fairy Floss, Sweet Street to Money Tree. There’s even a thrill-and-chill ice cream room and an interactive game room where you can win prizes. 

 

Discover the history of some of your favourite treats, from hand-cut marshmallows dating back to 2000 BC, to red and white candy canes that were originally served straight and lollipops made from honey, fruit and nuts. Enter the Candy Lab and witness candy morphing into different shapes before your eyes.

 

Indulge your sweet tooth at the Instagram Café and taste spicy and savoury seasoned candy. From nutty macarons to gummy bears in unusual flavours like bubble-gum blueberry and pina colada. Sip on dry-iced drinks, vegan milkshakes and eat nitrogen cool puffs.

Candy-Themed Installations

Discover the wonders of confectionary-creation and make friends with ZUZU. Dive into the colourful gummy bear pool pit, walk through the lollipop forest filled with life-sized, multi-coloured lollipops and take in the Candyfloss room and the Sugar Rush room where you can write messages and get creative.

 

Each themed space is filled with interactive art and three-dimensional sculptures such as a spoon-seesaw, macaron pouffes, powder-puff clouds, ice-lolly chairs, candy skyscrapers, floating teacups and a cotton candy bathtub.

 

The Museum of Candy even smells like sweet heaven. From the moment you enter, your senses are enlivened with the scent of vanilla, cocoa and caramel.
