Welcome to candyland

Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre will unveil its latest family entertainment attraction this July -The Candy Academy.
The Candy Academy will give visitors the chance to enter a world of delicious sweets, imagination, and pure entertainment. Every sense will be heightened, with the attraction certain to delight people of all ages.
Inside the attraction, visitors will experience rolling hills dotted with life-size candy, Oompa Loompas, a huge supply of everlasting gobstoppers (in the form of a giant interactive ball pit and candy machines), and photo opportunities featuring iconic scenes from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-including the famous chocolate boat ride.
Each week The Candy Academy will offer a different activity where visitors can design their very own candy vision goggles, and decorate a five-piece tea set. Shoppers will also have the opportunity to win golden tickets in the form of $100 gift cards, plus loads of instant prizes.
Golden tickets and instant prizes will be hidden within chocolates sold for a simple gold coin donation by Barwon Health Foundation volunteers, with all proceeds donated to University Hospital Geelong Maternity Services.
Furthermore customers can visit The Crazy Candy Mirrors near Kmart, take a selfie and upload their photos via social media for their chance to win Candyland prize packs valued at $50.
The Candy Academy is free to visit and will be located outside Target, open Monday to Friday from 3-14 July between 11am and 2pm daily.
