I've heard so much about this local treasure, so it seemed an appropriate addition to my before-we-move bucket list. And, as you can tell, we checked it off like it weren't nobodies bidness.
Really, we came for the tour. Upon arriving, it was pretty clear where to go, though that was only because we followed another slightly unsure guest to the crowd at the far end of the building. Shortly thereafter the tour started. And then it ended. Or so I thought. The walk around tour portion is very short, so that caught me off guard. Like, 5 minutes short. Still, there is plenty to hear about and the "tour" guide was engaging and shared plenty of interesting facts about the facility, its history and how its used today.
After our tour, we wandered the chocolate shop and found plenty of delicious goodies. We ended up indulging in the fill-a-bag section and it wasn't too expensive at all. Granted, we only bought eight pieces each. So, sixteen pieces for just under $6 may seem steep to some...still, we were very pleased.
Ultimately, if you're hoping to make a DAY of it, don't. But if this is one stop on your Glendale or Greater Valley excursion, by all means, stop by. It's a charming relic of simpler times...
