This week, we’re headed to Candytopia.

Looking for something sweet to do? Imagine a cross between Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and a traveling circus. Well, that’s Candytopia. After two years away, the candy-themed, interactive art exhibition is back in Atlanta, bigger and better than ever before. Terry Baddoo visited the exhibition and spoke with CEO John Goodman.
