F.A.Q.

  • Candy Kingdom is an interactive family-friendly event with two main elements:

    The Live Show - kids and their parents/guardians start the adventure in Candy Castle. This is a 30-35 minute live show with games, prizes, costumed characters and more! Your child will be part of the story as they join the quest to stop the evil Tootsie Troll from destroying Candy Kingdom! (Please note that flashing lights and loud music/sound effects will be part of the Live Show experience.)

    The Gameboard - after the Live Show, every child will walk with their parent/guardian through a life size Gameboard, completing activities and games to save Candy Kingdom and earn candy along the way. Every child will leave with a bag of candy and memories galore!

  • We recommend planning an hour to an hour and a half for the entire experience. The Live Show is approximately 45-50 minutes long. The Gameboard takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.

    There is a short wait between the Live Show and the Gameboard, which varies depending on the number of attendees. You can expect to find costumed characters and interactive surprises during your wait time to make this a great experience for your family!

  • Yes, we are having church this weekend! If you choose to attend our worship services, they will take place only at these specific Candy Kingdom events: Sat 6pm, Sun 8:30am, 10:00am, and 11:30am). The service ends the same time as the Live Show so that parents who attend church can pick up their children and walk them through the Gameboard experience in the concourse.

  • Yes! Every child will walk away with a variety of candy! Some children will be selected for games in the Live Show and may win additional prizes or candy. (we are a nut-free event, so no candy will contain nuts)

  • Families will be greeted at the main doors and check in with our volunteer team. Each child will receive a name tag and parent pick up tag including a number that matches both tags. To ensure safety and that children leave with the family that brought them, pick up and name tags will be checked before children leave the preshow. Should you lose your parent pick up tag, please ask our team for help; if needed our team may ask for a valid photo ID in order to verify identification.

  • Free pre-registration for Candy Kingdom is encouraged but not required.

  • The Candy Kingdom Live Show

    is designed for elementary age kids (K-5th) and their parents. However, younger children are welcome to attend these with their parents.

    We offer a separate experience for children ages 0-5 during the Live Show. Parents have the option to check younger children into Kids Zone Jr for age-appropriate games, activities and storytime during times with a worship service. Parents can also choose to sit with their younger child during the show in the Live Show.

    The Candy Kingdom Gameboard is specifically designed for children in K-5th grade, but younger children are also welcome to walk through the experience with their parents/guardians to collect candy.

  • A worship experience takes place on Saturday at 6pm, and Sunday at 8:30am, 10:00am, and 11:30am. Parents are welcome to drop their kids off in Kids Zone and Kids Zone Jr and attend the worship experience, if they choose. After the worship experience, parents will pick up their children from the kids ministry areas and collect candy from the designated area in the concourse as a family. The 8:30am & 10:00am service times will not have a Candy Kingdom experience after service.

  • Yes, this event is wheelchair accessible.

  • Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide an interpreter at this event.

  • Some lighting is used at the live show that may be disruptive to people who are sensitive to light.

  • We welcome every child to Candy Kingdom! To help you and your child prepare for your visit and explain how we can support, please contact our children’s pastor directly at sarahg@allisonparkchurch.com.
