Cadbury World in Burmingham

If you thought Roald Dahl’s fictional chocolate factory was too good to be true, you were probably right, but in the real world, Cadbury’s Chocolate Factory in Burmingham is as close as you can get, and it’s pretty close!

They don’t have oompa loompas (unfortunately), but they do have an amazing Aztec jungle the kids can explore and even chocolate rides with chocolate swans!

In the chocolate factory, they show visitors how their chocolates are made, making this a nice educational tour for the kids as well. And if your family loves chocolates (Really, who doesn’t?), you can stock up on loads of it for the rest of the year!
