What makes it 84% Kids-Friendly: Kids watch machines through glass, grab free samples, roam stroller-friendly cactus paths and meet Santa during holiday lights; lack of playgrounds or shade in summer lowers, but still engaging.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows family to tour factory, wander garden at a relaxed pace, and enjoy a tasting or snack.
Self-guided factory tour:
Walk past glass windows to watch machines and chocolatiers shape bars and truffles.
Tip: Kids get a free sample; point out machines at work; take photos discreetly.
Botanical Cactus Garden walk:
Follow paved paths through 3 acres of over 300 cactus species.
Tip: Use stroller-friendly routes; rest on benches; let kids spot different cactus shapes.
Family chocolate tasting:
Book a 30–45 minute tasting to sample four artisan chocolates.
Tip: Reserve online at least 2 days ahead; request kid-friendly options under age 10.
Snack break & gift shopping:
Grab hot cocoa or a cupcake from the food truck and browse the gift shop.
Tip: Buy a small souvenir box to share; use shaded patio tables to rest.

They have good filled alcohol containing ones as well. When you enter they do give you a milk or dark ch...

Our greeter Mr. George at the front was spectacular his smile was so infectious and he gave us the story about the factory. Areli, in the shop, was able to convince my sister to try dark chocolate and it was amazing. Their chocolates were soooo good and had decent pricing. She was so sweet and plea...
