Things to do at The Chocolaterie these school holidays

Fun at The Chocolateries Great Ocean Road

Make the most of the school holidays with a delicious day out at The Chocolateries Great Ocean Road, where there’s something sweet for every age to enjoy. Entry is FREE, we are open daily from 9am–5pm and only a short trip from Melbourne, it’s the perfect stop to relax, indulge and keep the kids entertained.

Start your adventure by picking up a Chocolaterie Discovery Map in the Showroom. Wander through our stunning grounds on a seek-and-find mission to spot 12 hidden items. Complete the challenge and earn a yummy reward. It’s completely FREE and fun for the whole family. Burn off the holiday energy in our orchard, wetlands, and landscape play areas, plus meet our resident chickens and guinea pigs too.

Afterwards, head to the production windows and watch our talented Chocolatiers handcrafting an amazing array of favourites, classics, new creations and more… in action!
