We were so excited to go to Cadbury world, it was all our neice wanted for her birthday. It was quite a drive for us but we were so excited, expecting something along the line of a dulled down Wonka factory.
The result was very disappointing.
We arrived early and there was a 4d experience cinema the kids were thrilled about. Until we saw the queue to get into it was well over an hour long. A 4 and 10 year old were not going to wait that long for a 5 minute video. When we entered we had to wait in the entrance until our exact slot came up. We got two chocolate bars each to enter then had to buy the bags each to put them in. The first area was the history of chocolate. There was no information, just mannequins set up with numbers for an audio tour, but we hadn't been offered an audio tour and I didn't see anyone at any point with them. We then had to wait to watch two more videos about the history of Cadbury and how they set up benefits for workers...interesting, but really not for children at all. We then got to walk through part of the factory, there was very little to see and not really anything to do. It then took us round to another queue. We waited in it for about half an hour before we reached a sign saying '45 minutes queue time from here' to go on a small ride that took you down a floor. The kids couldn't wait that long and it didn't seem worth it at all, so we took the stairs and had a photo taken. We then got some melted chocolate, and got to hear a woman talk about how they make boxed chocolate, except we couldn't hear or see anything. That led us to a very small interactive room with little to do and then straight into the gift shop. The kids were really underwhelmed and disappointed and I have to say I was too. There is so much potential for what they could have there and the whole thing was pretty much a boring let down. I wouldn't recommend it.
