There are several chocolate factories and chocolate museums in Klang Valley that offer a unique blend of education, culture, and sensory experience especially for families with kids.
Besides being fun to visit, chocolate factories and museums offer visitors a glimpse into the world of all things chocolate where parents and kids can learn more about chocolate while enjoying the interactive activities and tasty treats.
For me, a visit to a chocolate factory brings back wonderful childhood memories of reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and watching the movie of the same title directed by Tim Burton.
Iโm Sue, and I compiled this list of 4 chocolate factories and chocolate museums in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor (some of which our family have personally visited and other spots which we plan to visit soon) when looking for chocolate attractions around town to bring to my son who enjoys chocolate (itโs his favourite flavour!).
I hope that parents with chocoholic kids will find the list below informative when planning for a day out visiting the chocolate attractions in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor.
