FORT MYERS, Fla. (WINK) — Looking for a way to keep the kids entertained while escaping the Southwest Florida heat? A candy-themed indoor playground in Fort Myers offers plenty of ways for little ones to run, climb, slide and play.

Candy Wonderland – Fort Myers is located at 4429 Cleveland Ave., Unit 140, near the Edison Mall. The colorful indoor playground is designed primarily for younger children, with a candy-themed environment packed with interactive play areas.

The attraction features a two-story candy maze, ball pits, slides, a ninja course, pretend-play houses, mini sports areas, a toddler zone and a candy climbing wall, among other activities.

The Fort Myers location is part of the Candy Wonderland franchise created by Randy Williams and Katrina Guerrero who were looking for a clean, safe place where their own children could play. “We originally were going to open up an ice cream store in Delray Beach, but after some thought, we decided to try something new and create an interactive space for young kids. Each Candy Wonderland is unique and has it’s own personal touch,” said Williams.
