Ever wanted to try something new ? And cute at the same time. Got this on Groupon thinking it would be an adorable experience. The tour was good just wished that some samples would be the truffles they make in house. That would help them move then move. I definitely got some to go. The service was great and I'll recommend the wine tasting with the chocolate because they really found a way to compliment them very well.

This museum has a coffee shop where you can find desserts and multiple chocolates. You can also be part of the tour that starts every hour. The tour is really interesting. You go through the story of chocolate, you learn about the process, you see some art with chocolate, and you taste different chocolates at the end. It is fun, the tours takes an hour and then you can purchase your favorite chocolate at the end. Highly recommended.

The Chocolate Truffles
Yunhea K.

I saw this place driving to aquatica the other day and thought it would be fun to go to. I got tickets for my family and friends to visit and the tour was actually really fun. The tour guide was so funny which made the tour amusing. We took a lot of great pictures and it was so amazing seeing all of the statues made of chocolate! We got some truffles /bon bons from the cafe and my daughter got mango gelato which was sooo good. It was fresh mango flavor , super soft and creamy. I got 10 truffles for $30 and they were really good. The caramel bourbon was def strong bourbon flavor, was not my favorite. The matcha one was amazing mixed with white chocolate. I'd have to say my favorites were the almond crunch and hazelnut. If I'm ever in Orlando again, I'd def come back and visit.

Wine and Chocolate Tasting
Allison M.

Such a random spot. Came for the tour and wine and chocolate tasting. The tour was interesting, the coolest part was the chocolate sculptures at the end. The tour came with chocolate samples at the end. The 100% cacao was disgusting, but fun to try it after learning the history. The wine and chocolate tasting paring was the best part. Overall, if you have an afternoon to kill, go on Groupon and get a ticket!

This was a cute chocolate store, cafe, and tour. I don't regret coming here first on this Orlando trip, but I wouldn't say it needs to be included on most travel itineraries. If you're on a budget, it does provide cute entertainment for the price, especially with the Groupon deal. There's a lot of parking in this long strip of shops, but there's so much bustle here, and the road between the parking spaces is condensed. The chocolate tour runs every hour between 12-5pm, and lasts for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. It's recommended to call in to reserve a time slot, since it's first come first served for walk-in tours. When I called, I was actually just advised to come in with no reservation since they anticipated there wouldn't be any competition for the time slot I wanted - the very last tour. They were accurate, as we were basically the only people there when we checked in early. Funnily enough, there were some last minute stragglers who came late to the tour and we ended up being a sizable group. The tour first takes you through a historical jungle environment, where you watch a video and learn about the discovery of cacao, and its different bean types around the world. They have a cacao husk and other items to touch and pass along, so bring your hand sanitizer. You're then led through some rooms with artefacts from the past (my memory is fuzzy here because I got a little bored) - there were random English interior decor, and then primitive versions of machines that helped to process chocolate. After that, you're led into a wonderful smelling room of points of interest and busts made entirely of chocolate. After that, they talk a little more about where they source their chocolate, talk you through the chocolate sample flavors, then give you the bite-sized pieces of chocolate and a mini cup of hot chocolate. Overall, this is a cute stop for chocolate lovers. I enjoyed how our guide made a bunch of jokes throughout the tour. I thought their selection of dessert wine was unique, and they offer samples on request. I wanted to buy more chocolate, but the prices were quite higher than expected, coming from someone who's used to one of the highest cost of living areas. The small piece of chocolate I did purchase was disappointing, and tasted like an overly sweet and creamy Kit Kat bar.

The Chocolate Museum is awesome. Dave was the tour guide and took us through the history of how chocolate is made. He was great and so funny. I would highly recommend. I was not a fan of the cafe. The food was not very good to me, but definitely may be my personal taste.

Fun walk down the history of chocolate and chocolate making... Did you know that chocolate's modern day origins are not from the Ivory Coast but Central and South America? I didn't either until we went on this fun. 45 minute tour that included histories, a storyteller, chocolate sculptures and a tasting at the end which included PURE hot chocolate (yum!) Well worth the fee and experience. Prepare to pay for the chocolates at the end - they're all limited batches that are mostly hand-made so the pricing reflects that. Your taste buds will thank you for the added cost!

Chocolate sculpture
Chi K.

Chocolate sculpture! This was a really surprising find of about an hour long activity. The museum and chocolate shop is nestled in a small Shopping plaza. This is suitable for people of all ages. The tours include tasty samples at the end. Our tour guide today, Dave, hosted us with a relaxed, funny, and very interesting manor. He spoke of the history of chocolate and was very knowledgeable. At the end, we of course had to buy some chocolates. Sooo good! Definitely a fun activity to do.

Ice cream/gelato
Jade K.

The tour was very nice and Dave was great! He was our tour guide and very funny. We had a great time learning about the history of chocolate and seeing so many cool things. We also got the samples with the tour which was sooooo yummy! The kids and I enjoyed ourselves. The place is beautiful inside and the decor is very nice too. The staff was extremely kind and accommodating. We would recommend and definitely will come again!

Kelly T.

I was in Orlando and my husband was nice enough to get me a Groupon to this museum and tour. It was a very nice experience. It includes the history of Chocolate, how it is made, twenty landmark sculptures made out of Chocolate, and a sampling of eight pieces of chocolate. There is also a store to purchase chocolates, ice cream, sandwiches and other things. Seating is available if you want to eat there.

The tour was really nice and the guide was really funny. The chocolate statues were amazing. The chocolate upfront was really good

Thomas S.

I am always on the hunt for a good hot chocolate, and this place did not disappoint. I got the dark hot chocolate and it was very good- sweet, creamy, and a little bit nutty. It was $6 and totally worth it. We also got the chocolate trilogy, which was 3 layers of chocolate and cake. Surprisingly light and yummy. The service was excellent, the servers were very polite and cleared our dishes very quickly.

We've had the Chocolate Museum & Cafe on our list of places to visit for a while and we finally checked it off our list. The place has a small cafe+confectionery shop on the outside and the museum's located behind it. The people at the cafe were friendly and polite. The tour was fun and our guide, Dave was amazing! He blended history with humor and provided a lot of insight into the history of chocolate as well as the technology and craft behind the chocolate bars as we know them today. The tour is about 45 minutes to an hour long and there are some beautiful chocolate sculptures on display inside the museum. They also have some of the chocolate making equipments on display as well. At the end of the tour, they offer samples of the chocolate and confectionery that they sell at the cafe. It was an afternoon well spent. Oh, and the hot cocoa they serve at the cafe is delicious! We would recommend the place for a casual afternoon date or if you're looking for something different to do in this town otherwise known for its theme parks.

After the experiments, we were free to explore the entire science center, and there's so much to see that we could have stayed for hours longer. The T-Rex theater show was the highlight -- genuinely amazing, and just as fun for the adults as it was for the kids. The staff really made the day. Every person we interacted with was helpful, courteous, and clearly enjoyed being there. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend this place, whether you're going for a party or just visiting for the day. We'll definitely be back.

Adults-Only Science Night Live was a BLAST!…read more This was my husband and my second time at Orlando Science Center and I gotta say we love the adults-only nights. This time, we stayed basically from open to close, and while we definitely didn't manage to do EVERYTHING, there was plenty to keep us entertained the entire evening. Parking was a little confusing based on the event information, but we arrived about 15 minutes before opening and found a spot pretty easily. We waited maybe 10 minutes to get inside, so overall entry was very smooth. HOT TIP: If you're sensitive to loud noises, earplugs are a good call. There was a dedicated DJ music area in the dinosaur exhibit, but other places were maybe a bit too loud, too, but still so fun! The Optical Illusions exhibit was probably one of my favorite parts-- There were so many fun photo opportunities, and even the house of mirrors was a blast -- coming from someone who is absolutely not usually a house-of-mirrors person. We also stopped in one of the hands-on areas and played with a circuit activity, did trivia, explored the exhibits and caught Kaboom (a fun show, but YES, earplugs are a must there). Trivia was also a great little break in the night. We grabbed drinks, sat down and played a round. I loved that they had a no-phones-at-the-table rule. If your phone came out, you were disqualified until the next round, which made everything feel much more fair. Food and drink prices were surprisingly reasonable for a special event. A beer was around $5-$6, and a big cookie from a local vendor (Sapanguita--the BEST) was around $4-$5 -- definitely better than what I'd expect to pay at a concert or sporting event. I also loved that several of the food options came from local businesses. HOT TIP: One thing to keep in mind if you have accessibility or mobility concerns: getting between floors via elevator can take some time, especially when they're crowded. I'd build a little extra time into your plans rather than trying to race from one scheduled activity to another. Speaking of scheduled activities: GET YOUR SHOW TICKETS EARLY! Both Kaboom and the laser show required tickets during our event, and it sounded like you could grab tickets for your preferred showtime near the beginning of the night. We got very lucky and snagged some of the last Kaboom tickets, and only made it into the laser show because other guests turned theirs back in. The one thing I'd personally skip next time was the laser show. The concept was cool, but ours was around 45 minutes long and ended after midnight. From where we were sitting, I felt like I was craning my neck quite a bit and the lasers eventually started bothering my eyes. Even with earplugs, it was still pretty loud, too. It also didn't feel especially easy to leave once the show started because of the dark theater and needing to exit up the stairs! The soundtrack was very '90s rock/grunge, which my husband recognized and enjoyed much more than I did. Overall, though, this was a really enjoyable night and I'd absolutely consider doing another adults-only event here -- especially if there were a new temporary exhibit to explore.

The museum wasn't crowded, which made it easy to explore the exhibits, try out all the illusion games, and take plenty of photos. Teachers get complimentary entry plus one guest, which is such a thoughtful perk.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, explaining how each illusion worked and helping create them. They even took the pictures, which made the experience even more interactive and entertaining. I just wish the museum were a bit bigger so we could've spent even more time there, but overall it's a unique, fun, and memorable spot that's worth a visit!

This one is definitely the smallest one we've been to, but my son really enjoyed it nonetheless. We've seen many of these type exhibits before. Most notably where it looks, as though your head is on a plate and you have lost your body, the table where you reflect and it looks like you're sitting with six of yourself, and the room where depending on what corner you're in you may look very large or very small. That being said it doesn't seem to get old to my kid and he had the best time. They also had some new stuff that he hadn't seen before which he really enjoyed. We spent about 45 minutes here and he had a blast. My only real issue with it was the cost as it was close to $30 a person.

He introduced us to various types of honey, including many from different countries and types of flowers. We also tried were a few local honeys from Florida. It took about 1.5 hours to sample over 20 different types of honeys. A bit of description was provided for each honey, but questions were answered.
