The Chocolate Factory and Museum is in Athens from November 7 to February 21

The amazing theme park offers sites galore to visitors. Organizers have done all they could to ensure that a tour of the “Chocolate Factory and Museum” is an unprecedented, unforgettable, experiential, educational and tasty experience as you watch, learn, create, touch and taste!

Here’s a sneak preview:

Indeed:

At the Chocolate and Cocoa Museum you learn everything there is to know about the exotic cocoa tree and see real samples of the cocoa fruit and beans.
* In the Aztec Temple you learn about the natives of the Americas, their civilization, their legends and incredible stories about cocoa.
* In the Amazon Jungle, a unique experiential tour through a small, but real, jungle, where simulated conditions allow you to feel the heat and stifling humidity.
* In the wooden Amazon Hut you can watch the journey of cocoa and chocolate through Europe, with the help of modern technology.
* At the Chocolate Workshop you can participate in the production (with an incredible children’s workshop) and packaging stages of chocolate and, of course,… taste it!
* At the Biscuit Workshop you see the production process of biscuits and at a new workshop you prepare your own tasty gift!
* At the Milk Workshop you can have your picture taken (and more) in the fairy-tale setting of a small farm.
* At Quality Control, in the Factory’s chemistry lab, with the help of a “magical” scientist, you learn what you should be careful of as consumers and, of course, you will observe an impressive “chocolaty” experiment.
* The Time Machine will take you to places and times where chocolate has travelled through an intricate and playful Labyrinth.
* In the hall with the big secret you will encounter the largest Chocolate Waterfall in Europe with 1200 litres of real chocolate actually flowing before your eyes!

* At the various facilities of the Photobooth, you can take photographs of the entire class!
* At the Caramel Workshop you can see how handmade caramel is produced, which you will obviously have to try while it’s “fresh”.
* In the waiting room you can leaf through a book from the Sweet Library on chocolate, biscuits and ice cream.
