About
World of Candy Land on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks is the indoor playground that commits fully to its theme — and kids respond to that commitment. The candy-land aesthetic runs through the entire space: oversized lollipop sculptures, candy-colored play equipment, sweet-themed climbing structures, and a visual environment that genuinely feels like the board game come to life rather than a generic play space with a few candy decals slapped on.
The target age of 1-7 years makes sense for the theme. Young children at this age are enchanted by the imaginative, fantastical quality of the space in a way that older kids might find too young. The equipment itself — slides, soft-play climbers, age-appropriate structures — is well-maintained and designed for safe independent play by toddlers and preschoolers.
The 4.8 Google rating across 244 reviews reflects a genuinely well-run venue. These reviews aren't from novelty-seekers; they're from families who've had consistent, positive experiences and come back.
Scheduling is the critical consideration: while weekdays offer full-day access (10AM-8PM Monday through Friday), weekends are evening-only — 6-8PM Saturday and Sunday. This makes World of Candy Land primarily a weekday destination for most families. If Saturday morning is your only window, this won't work.
The Sherman Oaks Ventura Blvd location is walkable to multiple other kids' venues (Alice Kids Playroom is nearby) and surrounded by family-friendly restaurants that make a full afternoon outing easy.
