Candytopia Opens in San Francisco

(Dai Sugano/Bay Area News Group)
Candytopia is an outrageously interactive candy wonderland that transports guests to an imaginative confectionary world with a one-of-a-kind full sensory experiences-you can expect larger-than-life installations inspired by pure, sugary bliss throughout Candytopia’s dozen unique rooms, along with candy samples and lots of fun surprises.
 

Candytopia celebrates the vibrant colors and flavors of our favorite sugary delights across over a dozen environments, from flying unicorn pigs to a marshmallow tsunami. Bring your family, your friends, and your sweet tooth for an experience like none other!

Candytopia is open now until November 30 in San Francisco, just off the Powell Street Bart Station. Tickets are $26 -$34.  More info and tickets.

 
Marian’s Note:  Candytopia will be here for Fall Break for San Jose and Thanksgiving Break!

Go Free To Museums When You Want To -Discover and Go

One of the things that I love about Discover and Go (free museum and attraction passes/discounts) is that you don’t have to wait for a Free Day! You can go when you want to or when you have guests in town.  So if you haven’t checked out Discover and Go, do it now.  Several Bay area school districts will have their first vacation at the end of September.   Also as school begins, some of the locations will be great resources for homework and projects.
Discover and Go has expanded to most of the libraries in the Bay area and also Southern California too.  Here are your links for more info.

Discover and Go Partners/Venues: This list changes depending upon which library system you use, but the list is impressive!

Did you know that most advertising for an event happens about 30 days before the show, but tickets go on sale as early as 6 months before the date? That’s why CelebrateFamily.us has created this “Now on Sale’ page. Find family friendly special events by date. Don’t know the date, but want to see which events are coming to town?  See an updated list here.
