Sour Patch Kids✨

Okay, so let me tell you more about my trip to the Sour Patch Kids Store in Times Square—it was seriously such a fun and unique experience! If you're ever in NYC and looking for something quirky and sweet to do, this spot is a hidden gem. First off, the entire store is designed for Instagram-worthy moments. Right when you walk in, you're greeted by vibrant colors and playful Sour Patch Kids characters everywhere. One of my favorite photo ops was definitely with the giant Statue of Liberty Sour Patch Kid mascot. It's such a clever and iconic New York twist on their classic character, torch and tablet included! You can't miss getting a selfie there. Then there's the incredibly cool subway station themed area, complete with colorful graffiti murals that make you feel like you've stepped into a cartoon version of the NYC subway. Posing by the 'SUBWAY SOUR THEN SWEET STATION' sign was a blast. They even have a super fun taxi cab prop inside where you can pretend to be cruising through the city. The details are amazing, like the SPK-NYC EMPIRE STATE license plate – it really makes for a memorable picture with your favorite Sour Patch Kids character. There are always different Sour Patch Kids store photos to take, from individual character cutouts to larger-than-life displays. It's not just blue characters; you'll find red, yellow, green, and orange mascots ready for their close-up! But it's not just about the pictures! The highlight for any candy lover has to be the 'build your own bag' station. You grab a bag and then go wild, filling it with all your favorite Sour Patch Kids flavors. They have all the classics, plus some harder-to-find varieties and even sour patch strips. It's so satisfying to mix and match to create your perfect sweet and sour combination. It's a great souvenir and a tasty treat for later. This really elevates the sour patch display experience beyond just buying pre-packaged candy. Honestly, whether you're a long-time fan of the sour candy mascot or just looking for a cool, interactive spot in New York Sour Patch Store, this place delivers. It captures that iconic "first sour, then sweet" feeling perfectly. It's family-friendly and provides a lighthearted break from the usual Times Square hustle. I'd recommend going earlier in the day if you want to avoid bigger crowds, especially if you're keen on getting some uninterrupted photos with the Sour Patch Kids car taxi prop and other sour patch characters. It's a truly immersive experience that celebrates everything great about these beloved candies! Don't miss it on your next NYC trip.
