Eat Chocolate and Explore its History...
We will be closing for the Winter around the end of November. The date will be put here once known.
Take a chocolatey journey 5000 years in the making at our new tourist attraction! Starting in a Mayan hut you will weave your way through nine eras, exploring how chocolate has ingrained itself into our society…
We can safely say that we have the only Aztec temple in Llandudno as well as a recreation of a pirate ship's cargo hold, a Moroccan tent and many other detailed scenes.
Your Visit
The tourist attraction is laid out across nine areas; each recreating a different part of chocolate’s history. Our helpful videos will be your guide and you will also find activities, information panels and wonderful scenes in our immersive world.
Our building is also the centre of our chocolate company, where we make a wide variety of products which we sell across Europe. When we are at work, you can take a peak into our world through the viewing window.
Samples
Why would you want to just read about the history of chocolate when you can taste it…
As you go round the experience, we have a selection of samples to help you see how chocolate has evolved into what it is today.
Memory Lane
Enjoy a nostalgic look at our collection of chocolate wrappers, tins, boxes and posters from the last few decades.
