Sweet Pete's is Like Being in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory - We enjoyed the tour. The operation was much smaller then we expected, but it's amazing all the candy that is available for sale. The ones we tried were really good. We also enjoyed all of the decorations for the Halloween season. The ice cream was delicious also!

Book the candy factory tour! - The candy factory tour was very informative plus each person gets a chocolate bar they customize to enjoy. Joylyn (spelling?) was our tour guide and she was amazing! Great personality. Lots of sweet treats to buy and plenty of gift ideas. The flavored sodas are great to take home.

Fun time at sweet Pete's - This was a fun time with a lot of history behind it. Just a thought, you should think about opening up the basement for a visit

Candy tour - This was a tour of Sweet Pete's. The tour guide was very informative. We were able to see the different candies, weird drinks and snacks, other memoribilia items, and chocolates available for sale. We were also shown the equipment used to make the treats and told about the process. At the end of the tour, we were able to get the chocolate bars that we created at the beginning of the tour. There is also a lollipop making class, a candy shop, a restaurant, a ice cream shop, and a bar. They also offer a free ice cream sundae if your birthday is in the current month. TRY THE SUPERMAN ICE CREAM SUNDAE!!! Not sure if I'd do it again. We only went because trip advisor gave us a coupon to use. I do recommend going to get a variety of candy, ice cream, and the kids would love it!!
