Description
Drop a token and follow the gumball—let the adventure begin!
Created by artist and composer Dylan Sheridan, the Gumball Dream Machine is a new take on the simple thrill of coin operated vending machines.
Taking a journey through a literature and the arts, each gumball interacts with whimsical components—bells chime, lights flash, and electronic melodies play, creating a symphony of sound and motion leading to a surprising transformation.
This isn’t just an attraction—it’s a celebration of curiosity and the unexpected.
