The production line of the miniature chocolate factory can be seen through the glass. You can get good chocolate in many different forms at the chocolate shop. There is a diverse cactus park in front of the building, with stories about the plants on boards here and there.

My husband and I decided to try the wine and chocolate tasting. I did both and he did just the chocolate and it was a great experience. Vic was amazing and made it fun. We learned about Ethel M’s history and how chocolate is made. Learning to use the senses for both the chocolate and wine was eye opening too. We will be bringing family back when they come to visit.

Always fun for us to walk the lighted cactus garden during the holidays. Lots (lots!) of people go and the line is long. We waited 35 minutes to get in. The staff was good at crowd control and there were no problems with the line. Just before the pay booth ($2 per person charge), we got wanded with metal detectors which was new to us this year. People were well behaved and the whole experience was very pleasant.

Ethel M is one of my favorites and this time of the year is special with the Cactus garden lit up, but the Chocolate tasting was not worth the money. We did the Holiday Chocolate tasting - no wine- class and it was just average. I would not recommend this part of the factory at all - but the rest is a must see

UNBELIEVABLE, really nice place to go, cost 2 usd for the under 65s each, and free for the overs. A small queue, but they limit the numbers, i.e. 20 in and 20 out, takes a little time, but well worth it. great diplay, not crowded, great for the kids, illuninations lovely, good place to go for the family, and a bit of free choccy too.

There are 2 types of tastings here. Wine and chocolate tasting and a chocolate tasting. We sampled 4 different types of chocolate. The lady explained everything about chocolate making. Once the tasting was completed we got a 15% coupon to spend at the store. This store makes alot of different types of chocolate.

Great experience!!! We did the chocolate tasting. Loved the overview on types of chocolate and detecting different ingredients. Very cool to see the machinery and different chocolate stations. Capped the experience with a walk through the cactus garden. Very interesting to see the different types of plants. Stopped in the gift shop for a quick purchase. We probably spent 3 hours total.

I am giving a 3 star review simply because the factory isn't running on the weekends which is kind of a bummer, but I understand. I just wish that I had seen information about it before hand because I would have chosen another day to go so we could see it in operation. The chocolate is delicious if you like European rich chocolate. You receive a free sample when you walk in. My children didn't love it, but I didn't expect them too. Prices are expensive, be prepared. We got a box of 24, and 3 candy bars and it cost a little over $80. They have so many different flavors! You can also purchase piece individually for $3 each, so it's cheaper to purchase a box. We enjoyed a quick walk through the cactus garden as well after.

We really enjoyed the mimosa and chocolate pairing session. The chocolates were great, the stories were cute and the mimosas made sure we were having fun. We asked lots of questions and got lots of good answers. It maybe that we are nice people who know how to enjoy and appreciate things. The people complaining below are nit picking. Yes if you are the kind of person whose evening is ruined by having to to drink from a plastic shot glass… then don’t go !?!

Chocolate Craving Satisfied! A little out of the way for us as we live up by Centennial area. Worth the drive to check out the Cactus botanical gardens and summer variety of tasty chocolate selections. We went on a Saturday and it wasn’t crowded; probably because it’s kind of in an isolated commercial area of Henderson. We like less crowded and I highly recommend a visit for the free samples and gardens. The factory is not totally up and running during the weekend except for the packing area but it was still ok for us. I recommend all the dark chocolate selections and they have some milkshakes and custom box choices. 12 for $40, 24 for $60 etc.They also give an ice pack to keep your chocolates from melting in the Vegas heat. Go to get your chocolate addiction fix!
