This self-guided walking tour is perfect for last-minute travelers who love chocolate! Travelers will use the eATLAS app for directions on where to go, and what to do--map included. You can start and pause the Adventure whenever it is convenient for you. Chicago was once the “Candy Capital of the World,” and chocolate has been a rich, decadent part of the city’s culinary history longer than deep-dish pizza and Italian beef. Milton Hershey even learned how to make chocolate in Chicago at the 1893 World’s Fair. Some of the world’s most beloved chocolate treats, including Tootsie Rolls, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, Snickers, 3 Musketeers and Milky Way, were invented or are manufactured here. There are 8 delicious Loop and River North stops on our tour/scavenger hunt. Simply read the clues and follow the directions to guess the answers. Hints are provided if you need help. You won’t be required to buy anything, but if you need a quick pick-me-up, what’s better than chocolate?

Q&A

Q: How long does the Chicago Chocolate Tour usually take?

A: The duration really depends on you! Since it's a self-guided tour, you can take as long as you'd like at each stop. Most people spend about 2-3 hours, but if you're stopping to really enjoy the chocolate or take photos, it could go longer. Just make sure you start before the shops close!

Q: Is there an age limit for the Chicago Chocolate Tour?

A: Nope, there's no official age limit! It's designed for chocolate lovers of all ages. However, keep in mind that younger kids might need some guidance with the clues. It’s a fun family activity!

Q: What should I wear for the Chocolate Tour? Is it mostly indoors?

A: You’ll be mostly outdoors walking around, so wear comfy shoes! The stops are mostly in the Loop and River North area, which can be a bit of a walk. Dress for the weather, but you can always pop into shops to cool off or warm up. A light sweater might be good if you’re going in fall!

Just did the Chicago Chocolate Tour - awesome experience!

I just finished the Chicago Chocolate Tour with my girlfriend and it was a blast! We used the eATLAS app to guide us through the Loop and River North, stopping at 8 chocolate places. We both loved the history tied to each stop, especially learning about Milton Hershey. The clues made it fun and interactive. It ended up taking us about 3 hours since we couldn’t resist sampling almost everything!

Thinking about gifting the Chocolate Tour - any thoughts?

My sister's birthday is coming up, and she’s a huge chocolate fan! I’m thinking of getting her the Chicago Chocolate Tour as a gift. Has anyone done it? Any tips or insights? I want to make sure she enjoys it. Would it be better to go alone or with friends?
