Immerse yourself in the magical world of chocolate artistry at Butlers, The Factory Tour …
Filling the school holidays full of fun activities for kids can be a pressure for all parents. And though we are lucky in Ireland with plenty of beautiful beaches, parks and nature spots to explore, we aren’t always lucky with the weather (as this dull summer has shown us!) so it’s worth having a few rainy day activities up your sleeve…
As the weeks stretch out ahead, we’re busy plotting fun days out for the whole family, from visits to the National Gallery and The Ark in Temple Bar, to crafty afternoons at home and weekly trips to the library. But we’ve come across one very special day out that might just take the lead – and earn you a few brownie points with the kids.
What if we told you that you could visit a real working chocolate factory? A visit to the Butlers Chocolate Factory Tour is a magical day out for the whole family – and we’ve got two family passes to give away to one lucky winner …
Discover for yourself what really goes on behind the doors of a real working chocolate factory. Visitors will be able to watch the process of how the ingredients are combined together to transform into boxes of luxury chocolates, chocolate bars, fudge, toffee and hot chocolate.
Kids will get to dress up like a Butlers chocolatier in a lab coat and mob cap! And of course there is complimentary chocolate tasting along the way…
The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes a movie on the origins of chocolate and the history of Butlers, dedicated time to soak up the facts in the chocolate museum and enjoy a fascinating bird’s eye view of the factory on a glass-panelled walkway.
Visitors will discover how Butlers makes its chocolates through an interactive chocolate demonstration and will finish the day by decorating a chocolate creation with lashings of melted liquid chocolate and chocolate flakes, wrapped up and tied with a bow to bring home (if it lasts that long!).
Afterwards, why not pick up one of Butlers famous hot chocolates or delicious seasonal iced coffees in the on-site Butlers Chocolate Café while uncovering a brand new appreciation for the chocolate mastery involved in creating a special Butlers moment.
