Two weeks ago we went on our first family holiday to the Peak District. My beloved had never been to Cadbury World and I was dying to go back for the pot of liquid chocolate, so we decided to go along with Grandma for the day.
Before the holiday I had done some research into any offers and found 2
a 20% off
We went with their own Purple Thursday 2 for 1 offer http://www.cadburyworld.co.uk/cadburyworld/plan/pages/cadburyworldoffers.aspx
We were expecting to get there and have to wait for an admission time but, we were pleasantly surprised and admitted straight away. It was very busy with school and college trips but on the whole it was an enjoyable day out.
Bubba loved it especially all the exhibitions with the models...although a little frustrated that they didn't pay him any attention.
There are several different parts to the experience and is all on a one way system:
Aztec Jungle
Journey to Europe
Bull Street
The Cadbury Story
Making the chocolate
Manufacturing
Packaging
Cadabra
demonstration area
Advertising avenue
Purple Planet
The Shop
There are toilets throughout the experience, which is essential with a little one. There is a stage where you must leave pushchairs downstairs as you go upstairs but I would have been happy to do so. If I had gone with a tiny baby I would have been inclined to use a sling as it is quite noisy and the stretch without the pushchair can be lengthy depending on the size of the que for Cadabra.
There is also now a separate area around the back called essence. This is where the liquid chocolate is, yummy, and well worth the walk around the back.
The only part we struggled with was the cinematic presentations which Bubba did not appreciate, he just wanted to walk around and see everyone and everything. He loved the Cadabra ride, he was stunned into silence watching the mechanical beans. We even fell into the trap for the £7 photo souvenir for his memory box.
The cafe, like all, is a little pricy but large and baby friendly with a food warming station.
We had a lovely day out, even if daddy was disappointed there were no umpalumpas!!
