The Chocolate Museum

The Chocolate Museum is open from 10 am to 4 pm. Adult pricing costs $12.Fun and informative tour. History about chocolate and history of the Ganong family's business. The tour guide Judy knows alot of information and made the tour fun and interesting. She's also very pleasant to talk to.During the tour, we got to try some chocolates and candies. And at the very end, we got to see artisan chocolates being made by hand dippers and the people you made the filling for the chocolates.Would recommend doing the tour.There's also the Ganong Chocolate store upfront, where you can buy their products - chocolates and candies, such as their artisan made and factory made chocolates.

Ganong has a long family history dating back to mid 1800s. This family operated business still runs today in St Stephen, New Brunswick. It has been through a few fires and over 14 expansions over the years. They still offer hand dipped chocolates as well as factory made candies and chocolates. The museum offers tours to learn the history of the cacao bean dating back to Montezuma and how it's gathered and used today around the world. We enjoyed the museum, food tastings, and the chocolate shop after the tour. There are plenty of options to create the perfect souvenir for yourself and/or family back home. Enjoy!!

Very interesting history of the Ganong chocolate factory. Judy was a great tour guide. The process of the handmade chocolates and the nearly lost art of it is amazing. Worth the the trip if you're in the area.

Great tour. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. Plenty of free samples too. Down side is the space is tight for large groups. Having smaller groups would be better.

Informative tour learning about the Ganong family and their story. We went on the weekend so didn't see the hand dippers who still work there today.

If your interested in the history of things you should visit. Your greeted by very friendly staff & begin the tour with a yummy chocolate. They tell very interesting stories about the Ganong family. Throughout the tour samples are handed out. They show videos of the factory and processes. Very fun and well done.

What a delightful tour. Ainsley was so very nice. Michaela did an awesome job sharing Ganongs story.

What a fun and informative tour. The full tour takes around an hour and you should check the times in advance or you may have to wait. I waited, but there is plenty to see around the museum, so it didn't matter.Our tour guide was great and had so many interesting facts about the history of the company and its founders. Well worth the visit.

A great Little outing in St Stephens even though the museum had more information about where chocolate comes from then actual details of the Ganong company itself. They give tours but honestly should just be self-guided as there’s really not much to look at since you stop to watch videos which are self explanatory. Younger kids got super bored at the end.

We went here on our last day of vacation 3 weeks ago.We were expecting a history lesson on how this chocolate company has made their name, and we certainly were not disappointed. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and in fact, her father actually worked at the factory.We saw a lot of great artifacts of the old museum, even though it had burnt down a few times. We learnt about some strange habits of the older founders, like the fact that one of them use to eat 83 LBS of chocolate every day, and he passed away at 83 years old.We then went and watch the hand dippers in there special room, which was really cool to see, a specialty that doesn't exist in very many places anymore.Of course, what's the point to go to a chocolate museum, without getting any chocolate. Once the tour was finished, we headed straight to the store that is in the front of the factory.This cute little door greats you as you walk in. It feels old, which is awesome. It really makes you think how it would have looked 50+ years ago.Next time I'm in St. Stephen, I will certainly stop by the chocolate store again. Until next time.
