About The Chocolatarium
Welcome to The Chocolatarium, where chocolate meets history, science, art, and, of course, pleasure. Our establishment is located in a charming historical building on 3-5 Cranston Street, in the heart of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. We invite you to step into our world of cocoa and discover the fascinating story of chocolate and its makers from around the globe.
As a museum and educational center, The Chocolatarium offers a unique and interactive experience that caters to all ages and backgrounds. You will embark on a journey of senses, starting with the raw cacao bean, which you will learn to touch, smell, taste, and roast. Our expert guides will take you through the process of chocolate-making, from grinding the bean to tempering and molding the bars. You will have the chance to create your own bespoke chocolate bar with a variety of natural ingredients, such as fruits, nuts, spices, and edible flowers.
At The Chocolatarium, we believe that education and entertainment go hand in hand, so we have designed our exhibits to be fun and engaging. You can see and touch antique chocolate molds, vintage advertisements, and packaging designs. You can also participate in workshops that teach you how to pair chocolate with wine, tea, coffee, or whisky. Our kids' activities include making chocolate treats, playing memory games, and watching a chocolate fountain.
The Chocolatarium is not only an educational center but also a store and a cafe. You can shop for a wide range of artisanal chocolates from around the world, as well as handmade truffles, pralines, and bonbons made on-site. You can also buy gifts, souvenirs, and books related to chocolate. Our cafe offers a cozy and relaxing atmosphere where you can indulge in hot chocolate, coffee, tea, cakes, and desserts while admiring the view of the Old Town.
As a point of interest and a tourist attraction, The Chocolatarium has received many accolades and positive reviews from locals and visitors alike. We are proud to serve as an ambassador of Scottish and British chocolate culture and to support small and ethical chocolate producers. Our travel agency offers customized chocolate tours, where you can visit cocoa farms, artisanal factories, and cultural landmarks related to chocolate history around the world.
