The entire family learned a ton about Mayan culture, Cocoa, and the local vegetation. The chocolate workshop, itself, was great experience and a bit of arm workout. My daughters are ages 8 & 12, and they both seemed to really enjoy it. Lastly, I thought the chocolate was great, but my children seemed to be hypnotized by American milk chocolate! We definitely recommend for families and groups.”
