| - I would probably put this in the high-end of OK. Just because I am a chocolate fan and I did find this very interesting. We were picking a prize at the Fox 5 broadcasting Station which was across the Ethel M Chocolate Factory. So we decided to stop by here and check it out. But there has been some things that was a bit disappointing, but just minor things.
Located off Sunset and Mountain Vista is the well known Ethel M Chocolate Factory. The place did look a bit deserted in a sense, but they have people arriving in tour buses or by vehicle. First thing you will see is their Cactus Garden. It was a bit hot for us to walk around looking at Cactuses. Not really exciting since we do live in the desert, and seen cactus before. But thinking from a tourist point of view, who don't see cactuses that often, it might be something to look at. It's interesting to know that there is a garden of some sort. But if the cactus garden doesn't impress you, then taking a tour of the chocolate factory might intrigue you.
We decided to take a tour of the chocolate factory. Which wasn't that exciting to me at least. But My wife did find it very interesting. There were a few workers in the back, but it look like they were cleaning, instead of making something. I rather see something being made, then something being wiped down. But they did had some information posted on walls and the windows, to give people to read. Moving down the line, they had workers doing something, but it was kind of far away to see what they were doing. To be more detailed about the tour, it was a short, straight line, kind of tour. At the end of it, they had some one handing out chocolate. You got a choice of dark, white, or milk chocolate.
At the end of the tour, it did lead into another chocolate store that really surprised me. On one side you see some one making chocolate goodies. On the other end, you see a variety of chocolates. This is where you could make your own box of chocolates. I love the fact that they have a wide variety, also the one with alcohol flavor to it. We also saw a big chocolate covered strawberry. We did make our own Box of Chocolate and got a Chocolate Covered Strawberry. We also stopped by the little M&M Store before we left. Unfortunately we weren't impressed by it, but it is convenient for those who like M&M.
Overall, we did enjoy our stay. If you ever wanted to check out a chocolate factory, this is a good place to check out. Don't expect much on people making chocolate. You might get lucky, but I wasn't. But the store at the end of the tour made up for it. I really like that store in the end. The M&M store, is an extra chocolate store, but M&M is M&M, not much excitement with that. But making your own box of chocolate, picking from variety of chocolate, especially with Alcohol flavor twist. As well as a big Chocolate Covered Strawberry. Plus the Cactus Garden, to me, its worth the trip.
