Candy Land Café Experience Coming To San Diego Ahead of SDCC 2026
Running for a limited time, the pop-up invites guests to journey through interactive environments inspired by the game, including King Kandy's Castle, and Jolly's Gumdrop Mountains—all designed with vibrant colors, oversized candy elements, and photo-ready moments around every corner. The experience is also packed with activities for all ages, including a Sweet Adventure Checklist that guides guests through the space, including a DIY cookie decorating station. From winding Candy Land paths to towering candy castles, the experience transforms a nostalgic favorite into a candy-coated oasis perfect for families, date nights, and summer outings with friends.
The fast-casual menu leans into the whimsical, featuring craveable comfort food with a sweet twist—think rainbow burgers, chocolate BBQ sliders, over-the-top milkshakes, and a shareable "Chocolate River" fondue experience. Drinks, both zero-proof and cocktails, bring even more fun with colorful, interactive elements designed for group sharing. Following the success of Bucket Listers' previous sold-out experiences, the project is led by Derek Berry, President of Experiences, the creative force behind pop culture hits like The Golden Girls Christmas, The Malibu Barbie Cafe, and Saved by The Max. Tickets for the restaurant will be available exclusively through Bucket Listers. Join the waitlist and receive first notification of tickets going on sale.
