Great place to go to when in Santa Claus, Indiana. The staff is very knowledgeable and the popcorn and candy is amazing! You have to try the frozen hot chocolate!!!

Very Christmasy atmosphere that kids love. Great hot chocolate and candy, and you can get your Holiday World tickets there at a discount. Management and staff all were helpful and friendly.

We visited over the weekend and brought our 5 year old daughter. She loved taking the quiz to see if she was going to make the naughty or nice list and also had a blast making snow! The owner is extremely nice...just like good ol' St. Nick! He made sure we were all attended to and having a good time.... More

The Candy Castle has a Smörgåsbord of candy and delicious treats, including my favorite, Frozen Hot Chocolate. They also have some very cool little gift ideas and toys for children. Plus, you can get discounted Holiday World Tickets there as well.

I loved everything about this place and the town. A must do, especially at Christmas time. Loved how you can interact with "Santa Elves" and get a certificate for the naughty or nice list. Loved trying to drink the 64oz "Avalanche" (64oz of hot chocolate) just to get a bumper sticker. Loved the gift they sold, loved it all!

This place has a wide variety of knick nack and gift items, also neat books for children, especially. Also, has delicious candies and chocolate. Very small place, can be done in 10 minutes or so; great side trip when visiting Holiday World or Santa's Land of Lights at Christmas time.

It had been years since last visit to the Santa Claus, IN area. Drove through this time on way back from Indi to West KY. Worth the out of the way drive if you are in the Southern IN area. Fun place with nice owners. Stocked up on a variety of great candies and hot chocolate. Did not try to... More

I didn't expect much from the Candy Castle, since I was assuming, and believe my assumption is correct, in my honest opinion, that it is geared for younger children. It is a cute place with computers for children to use, and more than enough candy to fulfill their desires! Many items were on sale when we visited, two days after... More

We stopped here as part of our Groupon package stay in Santa Claus. The candy was overpriced but we had already promised our son he could pick out something. It was neat to take a picture outside in front of the "castle" and there are many flavors of hot cocoa to choose from - ours was delicious! They have a... More
