As a mom, I have a genuine appreciation for this place. We enjoyed the free, self-assisted tour of the chocolate factory, and the gardens are so pretty!
I wish the tour was longer, as it's really more of a window into the factory for the length of a hallway. But, who can complain about free?! And I love that the garden has all the plants labeled, with both their latin and common names, so you can educate yourself as you stroll around.
Of course, the chocolate is excellent. And my daughter was very appreciative of the M&M selection. As far as price, the cost is fair. Seems to cater a bit to the touristy element in terms of price and selection, so I would rather buy bulk candy elsewhere. But I'd get the fresh ice cream anytime!
