Step inside an immersive play space where bright colors and hands-on stations turn a quick visit into a memorable family outing. This super sweet adventure is built around four lively zones that move groups through playful moments and keepsake stops.
Candy-themed zones to explore
Launch peanut spheres at the Reese’s Combination Station with air cannons and a splatter wall. Twist through the Twistology Hub’s Pull ’n’ Peel Maze and The Extruder visual tunnel.
Dial up the Flavor Intensification Station to sample Jolly Rancher profiles. Finish at the Share Shop to design a Hershey’s Kisses wrapper on a large digital conveyor and make a Sweet Seeker name badge.

Extras that delight guests
Every visit includes a few Kisses and a choice of a full-size treat before retail. Sweet Seeker Central gives a short training moment, and staff team members keep the vibe upbeat. Little touches like Ice Breakers Ad-MINT-istration add variety on repeat visits.
"The flow is open so kids can revisit favorite stations and shape their own fun."
How to maximize entries and plan your visit like a pro
A little planning goes a long way when you want to lock in tickets, avoid lines, and keep kids happy at the Water Tower Place experience. Start by subscribing to brand and venue newsletters to catch limited-entry promos, then pre-purchase online to secure your preferred time.
Smart entry strategies
Buy tickets in advance — online reservations beat limited standby tickets, especially on weekends and holidays. Choose the Family + Friends 4-Pack if you’re coordinating families or friends; it often saves money and simplifies planning.
Logistics that matter
Water Tower Place sits at 835 Michigan Ave., near CTA Red, Brown, and Purple Lines and buses 22, 66, 125, and 157. Parking at the Water Tower Place garage runs about $28 for one hour, $33 for two, and $38 for three.
Timing tips: arrive within the 30-minute grace window or buy a Flex Entry ticket. There is no re-entry and no restrooms inside the space, so use the 3rd-floor facilities first. Email info@hersheysupersweetadventure.com if anyone needs accessibility or allergy accommodations.
- Plan which station and activities to hit first.
- Bring sealed or reusable water bottles for kids and families.
- Look out for training-style missions and team guidance to keep guests engaged.
"Online reservations tend to beat limited standby tickets, especially during peak times."
A small bit of timing — signing up for alerts and booking tickets early — can turn a casual interest into a full-family holiday adventure.
Plan a visit around the four candy-themed zones, pace time so kids linger at bright colors, and stop at the combination station if peanut butter is a favorite. Use CTA access and allow extra minutes for paid parking and restrooms since there is no re-entry.
Keep newsletter alerts active; past giveaways have produced headline-worthy prizes, and they often pop up near holiday windows. Before you leave the gift shop, pick a small souvenir—perhaps a custom XL wrapper—and grab a few extra candies as post-visit treats.
With simple logistics, a focused plan, and timely entries, the super sweet experience becomes a repeatable, relaxed sweet adventure the whole family will enjoy.
