| - Very cute place.
It's not too big, but there is a M&M store you can go to on the property for any souvenir items you want. They also have a nice long walkway where you can view the factory doing its work in making chocolates. At the end of the walkway, you'll hit their Ethel M store, which has the nicer chocolates, and things that you won't see at a basic M&M store. The stuff in here is what I would give to my grandmother because it is that nice, rest her soul.
The botanical garden is nice. Please don't climb the rocks, for your safety and for issues of liability! For those of you that like desert flora, this is the place for you! They were doing a bit of upkeeping while we were there, but everyone was really nice.
Service was great while we were here. The staff wanted to provide us chocolates (which our stomachs could not handle at the time), and everyone was so nice. We ended up only smashing the pennies we wanted.
Biggest issue I have is that it is a tourist trap, so the Asian buses of tourists (who I know can read English) were just doing whatever they wanted and not abiding by the rules. I give props to one of the staff members for calling out one of the families to get them off the rocks, but I would be exasperated on what else they can do in protecting their gardens.
