Do you have a sweet tooth? If so, you need to head over to this amazing candy store in the heart of Cajun Country. Featuring more than 50 flavors of jelly beans, 20 flavors of saltwater taffy, and all of the nostalgic candy you grew up with, this is one place that’s too sweet to pass up.
Candyland Cottage & Ice Cream Shoppe has been satisfying sweet tooths across Cajun Country for over 14 years.
They’re constantly inventing new flavors to add to their sweet arsenal. Depending on the time of year you visit, you can find over 75 different varieties of fudge. Don’t have the time to swing by? No problem - they’ll ship it to you!
Some of the other main attractions to this beloved candy shop are the train and carousel rides.
Kids will have oodles of fun riding in the trackless train. The miniature, 32-foot, full-scale replica steam locomotive has all the bells and whistles the kids will love, including blowing steam and that classic train horn sound.
In addition to all the sweet treats, you can also grab some hand-dipped ice cream or a hot dog while you're here.
The original Candyland Cottage is located at 1319 The Blvd., Rayne, LA 70578. There is also a second location at 109 Benoit Patin Rd., Scott, LA 70583. Both locations are open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday & Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
