  • The chocolate factory is just...blah. You don't see much of the chocolate. There aren't any chocolate waterfalls, Oompa Loompas or anything even remotely entertaining. It's maybe a 30 foot long walk way with windows to one side that showcase a few workers in an assembly line setting and a tiny peek of chocolate on the conveyor belt. At the end of the walk way stands a young woman behind a counter with three different chocolate coins. Milk chocolate, white and dark. I didn't expect her to be excessively cheerful, but a little pep and holiday cheer wouldn't have been unreasonable to anticipate. She stood there with a rather ominous air. As if, she'd rather drown herself in an imaginary chocolate river than serve another piece of FREE chocolate. Yes, FREE chocolate. Although, if you consider the wasted 2 mins and 48 seconds it took to get through the factory, then you really should ask for another piece...maybe four. You then move on to a large Ethel M retail store where seeing the rows and mounds of different chocolates through the glass display is far more exciting than the factory. Ornately wrapped boxes in several sizes are stacked fashionably on every table and counter. But, I hope you're Daddy Warbucks; or at the very least not a penny pincher, if you have any plans to actually purchase some chocolate here. The cheapest box I could find was $22.00 and smaller than your standard Christmas card. Speaking of Christmas...the real attraction is the Cactus Garden. It's absolutely FREE to walk through and there is lots to see. A maze of pathways lead you through a park of several different species of cactus that are covered in wonderful Christmas lights. My 5 year old was especially impressed by the large blowup lawn decorations. You'll find Santa sitting under a beautifully lit gazebo with 1 elf, 2 plain clothed dudes who operate the camera, 1 guy who sells the Santa pictures and a Partridge in a pear tree. The picture is $15 bucks each, without the flimsy frame and they only accept CASH. Also, the nearest ATM is at the gas station on Mountain Vista and Sunset, which requires a drive as the factory is tucked at the very end of a long side street. The Cactus Garden is definitely worth a look. However, I'm not sure it'd be much fun without the Christmas lights unless you were an aspiring botanist.
