5.00What a great way to spend a couple of hours in York. Great fun, a bit of learning and chocolate at the end ! We took our two daughters and their cousin. It was a great family event. Very friendly staff too.
A really fun experience and we learnt a bit, too!

5.00My mum and I had such a great hour making our chocolate bars. Our guide was wonderful, wish I’d caught her name. She knew so much about chocolate making and its origins, and was great fun, too. We now know the correct way to melt chocolate. Clue! Stay away from the microwave! We left with our very chunky chocolate bars: a Yorkshire rose and Christmas tree, uniquely flavoured with our personal choices of flavourings. I can’t tell you how they tasted as you pick them up once set, in a sealed plastic gift bag which is now waiting for Christmas. Definitely recommended for a fun and educational way to spend an hour in York.
Excellent activity for a group of friends!

5.00You get to learn about the cocoa bean and where the company gets theirs from. You get to understand more about how chocolate is made. Making the chocolate was an eye opener on how to do this and the taste of the chocolate was amazing. I would highly recommend this activity when visiting York.

4.00Very enjoyable but difficult to see the presenter due to being at the back of a very full class. However the whole experience was enjoyed by all the family young and old. The presenter was excellent and made a point of including us at the very back.
Expensive so get a York pass to see other attractions too.
