A stunning immersive art experience with breathtaking visuals and interactive installations. The scale and creativity are impressive, and some rooms truly feel magical. However, crowd management, parking, and navigation inside could be better. Overall, a must-visit if you enjoy digital art and sensory experiences

Loved it!!! What a day!! Filled with sweetness and absolute amazement! The staff at museum of Candy make the trip worthwhile. They add fun and frolic to even the most basic things. Hessa particularly stood out and was real fun. Aya, was a breathtaking visit. The staff however are mundane, borderline rude and talk as if they are doing you a favour. They rarely smile and have a constipated look on their face, not one, all of them except the guy in the rain room, he's warm and the welcoming, he took pics and videos for all. The trip would make more memories of the staff interacted well. They could explain better, they could be warm and welcoming, atleast with the kids. Imagine you are an excited teen, and a bored adult in dull clothes stands and speak strictly, no smiles no welcome, not much guidance on what to expect in the next room, just what not to do and stand in line or sit orders. My otherwise super fun, well behaved, timid daughter kept looking around and got bored soon enough, not knowing how to enjoy a place filled with such staff. Now imagine, the staaf are warm, welcoming and hype up your next experience with questions or interaction while explaining the dos and don'ts.. Imagine a staff that so amazed by the place they are working in, that when u walk into the next room, you get super excited. You experience the meant simulation at another level. At founders of aya, I guess, tried to create that, but, hired staff, who lack patience, have a stagnant look and really dull energy. It made no sense, because we weren't in a no noise, calm down to earth asharam, the place is vibing with noise and lights, might as well hype it. Would I go to Aya again, not a chance, even for free. Would I recommend it, I dunno.. I won't stop someone but it won't be a place I would ask someone to visit, if they wish to have a great memorable experience.

This is such a lovely venue. Our visit was interesting snd educational, we all enjoyed it so much, a lovely way to spend a morning or an afternoon. It was very helpful having the rangers on hand to show you round and explain everything. Petting the young crocodile was a terrific way to end the visit and was included in the entrance fee. Superb value.
