Enjoyed our visit, making chocolates. The only thing annoying was there café were not doing hot food at that time, possibly due to staff shortage. A wee email advising this at the time would have been great. Was still a great visit and the chocolate was yummy 😋

First time visit for my 6 year old grandaughter, paid for the play pass which was excellent value for money. Loved meeting Peppa too. Outdoor play is fantastic, myself, grandaughter & grandad spent hours playing hide & seek 😀. We will definitely be back.

What a fantastic place my kids are adults now but this would have been amazing for the with both the indoor and outdoor play areas. We went on the adult chocolate making experience and Kiera was just great. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time and at first you think £27 per person is a little steep for 45 to 60 minutes it was well worth it with the chocolates you make and all the consumables involved and we all came away with a presentation bag with our various creations. The finishing touch was the thank you email received later that day. Well done everyone 👏

I would like to say thank you to the staff for allowing us to visit with 3 young guide dog puppies in training. They didn't seem too bothered by the excitable children.

We visited 3 times in our 3 day trip to Kirkcudbright (the EV charger was a life safer) but also used the cafe on all occasions and was a little oasis to relax whilst the car charged. Also bought our friends and family chocolate and some for ourselves which were super delicious.

An amazing place. Chocolate is delicious, the food in the cafe is delicious and our kids love the indoor and outdoor play.

I booked the Chocolate making and play for our 3 children and I have to say for the amount of Chocolate they made and left with, it was great value for money with the indoor play included to.

The hot chocolate in the cafe is our favourite!

Had probably one of the best days out with the grandchildren. The indoor soft play and the outdoor play area were brilliant. The café served amazing food too. Last but not least the chocolate factory. The kids loved making their chocolate using their imagination. I will definitely come back here even if the kids are not with us.

Went today for our sons birthday today £23 per child, worth the money, they got to make 3 different things, a lolly, chocolate bar and you got to pick what your other chocolate wanted to look like ours did a love heart, dinosaur and a rabbit. The girl who showed and help them what to do was lovely. The soft play is really good, unfortunately they didn't go outside due to the rain but looks really good so we are going to go back when it's warmer. Very lovely staff. Would highly recommend.
