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.

It’s a good place for the entire family to enjoy some downtime, especially in the early morning or early evening.   Location: Central Delhi, along Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath), near Central Secretariat metro station Opening hours: India Gate is open 24 hours a day. Children’s Park operates on seasonal hours, typically from mid-morning until early evening, with shorter hours during winter. Cost: Free Good to know: Access to lawns around these attractions may be restricted during national events, public holidays, or heightened security periods. Opening hours and access can change at short notice, so it’s worth checking official Delhi tourism updates or local listings online before you visit.

  • Travel Anxiety Tips: How To Stay Calm and Balanced on the Go

    It's common for pre-departure anxiety to begin quite a while before the trip starts, and there's plenty you can do in advance to manage travel anxiety. Consider a short warm-up trip, maybe somewhere local or familiar, to get used to certain aspects of travel that cause pre-trip nerves. This is especially useful if you're anxious about new types of travel, such as a solo trip or your first family holiday with children.   The build-up to your trip is also a good time to practise grounding techniques, which should help to manage your pre-travel anxiety and will continue to be useful once you set off. This includes simple meditation, like closing your eyes and focusing on a calming mental image. It also includes breathing exercises like the 4-7-8 technique, in which you inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 7 seconds, then slowly exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds. Making a packing checklist will help you feel more prepared and ensure you don't forget important items. This includes comfort items like favourite books, a particular blanket or a familiar scented hand cream. Along with essentials like passports and medication, include items that create a bubble, such as noise-cancelling headphones and eye masks. Consider packing natural remedies for travel anxiety, like herbal teas or calming supplements recommended by your doctor.
