Fabulous Candy - Great tour and candy. My wife really loved it. Go and enjoy! This is a fun place to take the family. They even have Oscar Mayer gummy bologna.

Never too old to have fun! - My sister, husband and I decided last minute to do the chocolate factory tour and what a surprise and delight!! From the moment you enter until you leave it's just fun, fun, fun! The decor is amazing and whimsical, the staff friendly and delightful, our tour guide, Jolane, was enthusiastic, informative and added so much enjoyment to the tour! Their famous toffee is well deserving of it's accolades! Best ever! A friendly greeter at the entry surprises you with a complimentary sample and you're hooked! The entire store is a candy/sweet lover's paradise! The tour is a bargain at $8.00! You get to custom make your own chocolate candy bar and the tour itself is very interesting! We ended up spending 2 hours enjoying everything that Sweet Pete's has to offer. Be sure to make this a stop when you're visiting Jacksonville! It's sure to bring out the kid in everyone, regardless of age! Thanks Pete, for making life a little sweeter for everyone!

Chocolate Makes the World Go Around. - We have been here several times for different chocolate tours. The only bad thing about Sweet Pete's in parking. They have a very small parking lot behind the building. We ate in the restaurant this time. The food is pretty good. Service is good. This is a great place to visit on the weekend.

Sweet Pete’s Candy Factory - Great experience for the price. We even received a personalized custom made candy bar. It was like being in the Willie Wonka factory. This is a must do your in downtown Jacksonville. Bring your camera to take pictures.

Loved it. It was so much fun. Our guide was Awesome - Jeff, our guide was Amazing. He told us all about the building and history. It was fun and my son and I took many photos. Great for kids 5 and up... Not enough room for strollers, so they tend to be peoples way.

Fun! - It was a cute place! Nice to know they offer candy making classes! You get one free chocolate bar with three ingredients you choose with the tour.

Not for us - Small location and boring. My kids were ready to leave because it was not entertaining. Maybe if we did a class but this one I wouldn’t recommend.

Staff arguing with people on the street - I can’t believe the nerve of staff to speak so rudely to people that aren’t even on their property. Disrespectful smugness is not a positive character trait.
