What parents say
"We had an exceptional date night at Sweet Pete’s Chocolate Factory, indulging in a Chocolate Tasting and Tour. The experience was both informative and delightful, offering fascinating insights into the history and process of chocolate making. Jeff, our moderator, was full of energy and possessed a wealth of knowledge, making the tour even more enjoyable. We had the pleasure of tasting various delectable chocolates, each one better than the last. As a special treat, we even crafted our own custom chocolate bars, which was incredibly fun and memorable.

"We took the pizza class and had a great time. The instructor was engaging, funny, and helpful. The class was accessible for my son who uses a wheelchair. My only suggestion is the ramp entering the building approaches the front door that opens towards the ramp, not leaving maneuver space to enter the building. I recommend they open the other door on the left to allow to maximum ease of access."
